Reviews
I have been waiting to visit Hungry Thirsty for a while and it did not disappoint. On this visit I enjoyed the Yum Kai Fu, Panang Curry, Pla Tod Nam Pla, Kang Ped Nuer, and the Cocunut Jelly Dessert.
We were a party of two and did not have a reservation. Because of the cold weather and being right after new years we were able to be seated immediately. Definitely book ahead if you can, it gets busy.
The favorite of the evening was the Pla Tod Nam Pla which is a whole fried branzino. It is not spicy and is served with a punchy acidic dressing that you add at your leisure. It is one of the best preparations of branzino I have ever experienced. Watch out for bones. There are none in the center but a few along the edges.
The Panang beef curry was spectacular as well. It was spicy and sweet with melt in the mouth tender beef. The flavors were so comforting and warm with a richness coming from coconut. The spice was manageable and when eaten with rice it’s a dish any table would thoroughly enjoy. The rice is included!
The Kang Pad Nuer is the spiciest dish on the menu and definitely one of the spiciest dishes you can order at a restaurant and still enjoy. The spice is a dry heat that builds as you eat. There is still a complexity of flavor that comes from the herbs used so it is not the kind of bland spice that you might have in a hot sauce. I love spicy food but could not finish this dish, the spice builds to the point you can feel it in your entire body. I sure as hell packed it up to take home though! I enjoyed the flavors but after trying it once I don’t think this is something I will be craving. That is a personal preference.
The Yum Kai Fu is a mango salad with a granular chicken. The texture of the chicken threw me off a bit as I have never had such a preparation. It’s almost like breadcrumbs but made from chicken. The mangos are refreshing and the dish comes with a sauce that you apply and mix in. The more sauce you add the spicier it got. We ended up using half of the sauce. If you were to use the entire jug of sauce, it would be VERY spicy so taste it as you mix. Next time, I think I would try a different dish as this one was not super memorable like the others.
The meal ended with the coconut jelly dessert, which is served in a real coconut and contains large pieces of coconut flesh in gelatin. It is a light dessert, but it’s perfect for settling your stomach after such spicy food. This is the only dessert they have available and I think it’s perfect. At $20, this is the only thing I thought was overpriced.
The service at Hungary thirsty makes you feel like you’re in someone’s home. The servers are very attentive, especially when it comes to refilling your water. They know how spicy the food is and they want you to enjoy it.
The ambience is very homey. The decor is simple but makes sense. The lighting is bright and cool toned which would usually bother me, but it’s somehow made perfect sense and I wouldn’t change it. The only note is try to get a table away from the door especially in winter. People coming in will crowd the tables standing around and the door opening made it extremely cold.
Hungry, thirsty knows exactly what it is and is not trying to pretend to be a different type of establishment. I will absolutely be coming back.
Food wise, they have a nice variety of spicy and non-spicy dishes. We tried their friend chicken and crab curry, and both were outstanding.
Their Thai ice tea was also very yummy, you can tell that it was made with real tea leaves and not powder.
Looking forward to visit again and try the other things on their menu!
The only downside of the restaurant is that it’s really loud inside. Luckily we were able to move to an outdoor table.
I also wish the menu had spicier options. The hottest dish is the kua kling which seemed to be around 200k scoville, a bit milder than habanero salsa. Not very spicy but still delicious.
