AI-generated summary
Former Ugly Baby cooks run it in the same room, and this time they take reservations. The kua kling is the dish people name, short ribs with southern paste. It is genuinely very spicy, enough that people take half of it home. A couple of people say it's a step down from Ugly Baby.
“Said Kua Kling/คั่วกลิ้ง (photos 1 and 6) or short ribs & southern curry paste for $38 was a particular highlight as it was a very good version. The Yum Pla Ka Pong/ยำปลากระป๋อง or preserved sardine salad for $22 (photos 2/7/8) was the surprise hit of the night being both well portioned, reasonably priced, and extremely tasty.”
