Been wanting to try this place for quite some time now. My wife was able to get a reservation for my birthday but all that was available was at 4:15. Still we took it and I'm glad that we did. First let's start with the bad. Parking here sucks!!!! I ended up having to park in a nearby neighborhood and had about a 5 minute walk to get back to the restaurant. Give yourself extra time to find parking. Everything else was fantastic. Food was amazing. Cocktails were delicious and refreshing. Service was great. I'm so glad we picked this place for my birthday dinner. Can't wait to go back again!
Super cool find in Arizona. Thai food. In a traditional small restaurant but super cute outside. Can get busy really fast. Unable to make reservations so wait at the bar and get a drink. Drinks are so unique and flavorful. We tried the Temple T and the Roselle, yes. The Thai Tea is a classic. Not sure what the energy version is. For appetizers we tried the Dumplings, Mussels, Moo ping. I'd hold on the dumplings even tho they might be recommended. The mussels are in a Thai curry sauce. And the moo ping was the softest but not chewiest I've ever had. Good portions. For the entree, we tried the Chicken Pad Thai and the Panang Curry with braised beef. The star of the show was def the Panang Curry. It's small for an entree portion. It comes with rice. So we had to order another. But the flavors are there. We saved room for dessert bc it was a Mango Sticky Rice. Everything was good. But it made us miss home.
Great Thai stop in Phoenix! I discovered this on the Michelin guide as a recommended restaurant and I had to check it out. they have a relatively small parking lot so if busy, it may be difficult to park. I showed up 20 minutes before opening and was second in line. At opening, they quickly sat everyone and filled seating in minutes. I had to get To-go because of a flight, but was offered a seat and water in the meantime. The interior is very cozy with reminiscence of Thailand. I decided on ordering pad Thai, Larb moo, and kanom jeeb. All was very good but I was obsessed with the Larb Moo! The line dressing was addicting. I hope to return one day and try the Khao Soi.
This is that get your ass in the car moment ! Hop on a plane, run , do whatever you have to do to experience the vibes at Glai Baan . Excellent staff and service . We sat at the bar and the bartender was fantastic and attentive.The music in the restaurant was so good I immediately added Durand Jones to my playlist . The portions are normal , I appreciate that . The rice cakes are delicious. OMGAWD everything was excellent and they've got super spicy upon request too. Prices are slightly higher but it's worth it . Parking is very limited and the place is packed inside and outside . Think , eclectic Thai dive bar and it's definitely a local favorite. Even the front door is hidden .. giving it a speakeasy feel . Highly recommend, will absolutely be back !
I've been wanting to try this place for sooooo long. I'm so glad I was able to finally get in and try it. We ordered the steak salad and dumplings for an appetizer. Both were sooo good and had so much flavor. For my entree I ordered the chicken pad Thai. That was so delicious. I've never had Thai food and I fear I have been missing out. The service was great and welcoming. It's very small and homey inside. We also ordered two drinks, can't remember the names but they were flavorful. I'll be back!
Love the folks that work here!!!! Super clean. Food is top notch we comment least once a week!!
We ordered fried chicken wings as an appetizer, Pad Thai, and Panang curry. The wings were a bit dry and bland, needed to pair with the sauce on the side, which was a little tangy and spicy. The pad thai and panang curry with braised beef were great, but some pieces of beef wasn't tender. The portion was on the smaller side, considering about their price, they are higher than most of the Thai restaurants in Phoenix. We also had a mango sticky rice as a dessert, it wasn't too sweet and the coconut milk flavor was good too. Overall, food was good, service was ok, the decoration inside was authentic. Bu if you needed to wait for 30 mins+ to have a seat in this restaurant, I think you could pass it.
If you're in a mood for some good Thai. This is the place to stop. Park. And grub. Lovely seating area...and don't be tricked by the doors. There is only one entrance....lol Tip top service. Delicious food. Fast and simple. I had a craving for some sticky rice and wings which came out O so yummy... Thank you Glai Baan!!!! I will be back for sure...
There were 4 of us. Our server, Kassiddi, was fantastic, super attentive, knowledgable, helpful, friendly, we couldn't have asked for better, she was awesome. The ambience is super comfortable, easy, casual. But, it's *super* loud, like really, really loud. The 4 of us had to literally scream, top of our lungs, to hear each other, and these aren't big tables, it's tight in there, so you're very close together. We left with sore throats from yelling. It felt like "a relief" when we stepped out front. After 2 hours sitting in the wooden seats, my butt was also relieved to be getting up. Parking is ridiculous, it's a very thin one way driveway with *no way to turn around* when you reach the end - back it up! Super tiny parking lot. Food: the food was very good. We ordered 6-8 things for the 4 of us because all items are pretty small. Top section of the menu are called smaller items. They were. Items on the bottom section are bigger, but not big. For perspective, when the 4 of us split an item from the bottom "entree section" we each got 2-3 bites/forks-full. So a full entree for one person is 8-12 bites. All items tasted very good, clearly high quality, well curated and definitely unique to this restaurant. The steamed white rice was hot, steamy, moist and sticky, really good. The Panang Chicken was really good, different, creamy, dark, rich and smokey. I added pictures of the menu, inside, patio, bar and a few food items so you can see for yourself. Would I go back? I would because the service was great, visual atmosphere was comfortable, and food was high quality, but turning the music volume down at least 1/2 way from what we had would go a long way,... a looooong way, seriously. Increasing the portion size of menu entrees would also be an improvement since they're about the same price as larger portions elsewhere. And throw some cushions on those inside wooden benches, our butts will thank you. Overall this was a good first visit and I'd try Glai Baan again, hoping for the same great service, quality food and updates to the other items.
Came here without a reservation on a weeknight and got lucky with a short wait time. All of the staff is so nice and inviting. We sat inside and ordered the mussels to start. I ordered the green curry special which she recommended because I like spice. My bf got the pad thai and it was super delicious. This place is a little on the pricier side but def some of the best thai food i've had in AZ. Can't wait to come again
Glai Baan is the perfect lively date spot in Phoenix with very fresh and bright flavors. The menu is on the smaller side but you can tell that is a quality over quantity type of joint. The staff here are so kind it really made the experience of having to wait a bit so much better! The gentleman at the front door recommended a wine bar around the corner to wait at after we got on the list, which was a cute divey spot. The food was delicious, we loved the papaya salad so much, there were so many flavors of spicy and tangy, and the papaya itself was very refreshing. We had the Pad kee mao and Panang curry which were also delicious. For the chicken pad kee mao we requested it to be gluten free and they gave us the same rice noodles as the Pad Thai and a slightly different sauce which was so darn good! The chicken was very tender. When the Panang curry said it came with beef, I didn't know what to think but after a single bite I was a huge fan! So many flavors hit you at once and the beef was so incredible, it was falling part. I also ordered the savory cocktail option (I can't remember the name) which had cucumber vodka, fish sauce, mint, onion, and some other goodies, and wow! It changed my life. Highly highly recommend. Overall would definitely come back here, we were a walk in on a Saturday night and had an hour and a half wait to get in.
WTH - what the heck. How could this be my 1st time here and found out it is food crack. Ok I'll get to that in a minute. It reminds me of a Thai food Tapas restaurant in which I want to give them all my coins to sample more dishes. The music is so perfect bobbing my head to the music. The atmosphere has me needing a lounge chair with ottoman to kick my feet back. 2 drinks the sun shower & a Thai ice tea both excellent. I enjoyed the patio which is gorgeous. The inside and patio mad cute & quaint. The food all 5 stars. My top favorite the dumplings & glass noodle shrimp, pork belly special. The service and customer service walking in the door welcoming and friendly. My server Bank (yes I verified that is his name) was sweet and awesome. Fluffy Grandma Recommends.
Came to Glai Baan for lunch. Service was super friendly and expedient. The dining room quickly filled up quickly and the server came over and said there was a special that was not on menu. It was a Japanese eggplant dish with minced pork and shrimp along with basil, lemongrass, garlic and onions. I'm glad we ordered this special, it was fantastic. We also ordered the grilled chicken, and Thai pork dumplings which were equally very tasty. The lunch ended with the Penang curry which was moderately spiced. I can eat spicy so some might find the curry a little too spicy. The entire place was very quaint with a small patio available. The main door was a little tricky to find as it's covered by vines and all you see is the door handle. Overall, great Thai food and and attentive service. Thank you.

I've been coming here for years with my son, and this little restaurant holds some wonderful memories for us. It had been a while since our last visit, so I was thrilled that during a recent trip to Phoenix, we were able to get in. And coming from someone who was never much of a Thai food fan, that's saying something! This place completely changed my mind, and I've enjoyed some truly delicious meals here over the years. What I love just as much as the food is the personal touch. Even after all this time away, the staff remembered us, and it felt like we had never missed a beat. As usual, we ordered several dishes to share, and everything was delicious. But those chicken wings? Still one of my all-time favorites! It's a charming little spot that's perfect for a date night or a casual meal, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It's almost always packed, so calling ahead is a good idea, especially now that I've heard they've earned a Michelin star. Well deserved, in my opinion! Always a pleasure coming back to a place that holds such great memories. read more
Definitely one of the best Thai restaurants in Phoenix :) their vibe is incomparable, both indoor and outdoor sitting areas are super cozy and cute. And their food is good, especially Mackerel fried rice is one of the best, it's smoky, flavorful and just so good. Also their drunken noodle is yummy, and their papaya salad is so good. People here are friendly as well. Perfect spot for date night or friends hang! read more

The Internet loves Glai Baan which is precisely how I found myself here. Ngl, the reservation system is pretty invested - you call, leave the details of your desired reservation, and someone will call you back with some options. But do yourself a favor and make a resy otherwise you'll have to wait 1+ hours. The vibes were vibing and the playlist was banging. If you're an old person like me, I'd suggest sitting on the patio where it's not quite so loud lol. Of all the things we ordered, I liked the kanom jeep ($12) best. These are like shu mai - pork dumplings with scallions, ginger - but distinctly Thai in flavor. They tasted familiar, but not, and a really fun way to start the meal. We also shared the following: -larb moo ($13): minced pork, shallots, herbs, toasted rice + lime dressing -pad kee mao ($20): wide rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, mushroom, bamboo shoots, Thai basil + egg Both were very good versions of dishes I typically order from Thai restaurants. I do wish we ventured outside our comfort zones and tried something a little more off beat, but that can be saved for next time. While the meal was great, there were subtle nuisances that could have been better. The kanom jeep was room temp and could have used a little more heating. And the mango in the mango sticky rice was super not ripe. In any case, I love that Glai Baan exists where she lives. It's definitely worth a visit. read more
This little spot might not look like much from the outside, but wow - Glai Baan has the some of the best thai food you'll find in Arizona! The staff is super friendly, and the food is always on point. Everything tastes amazing and you can tell they use really fresh ingredients. You've gotta try the crab or mackerel fried rice. And if you're looking to have some fun, grab a Phuket bucket with M-150. Parking can be a bit difficult to find but you can park on the residential street behind the restaurant. read more

Wowwww! I have heard about this place for so long and finally I had a chance to try it myself. As soon as you walk it, you gonna feel coming to see your bestie house ( Glaibaan means far away from home ) but for me, this place more like home away from home. The food is very delicious, the simple drink but so refreshing, the service is top notch. The atmosphere just reminding me the street food in small villages in Thailand (who have been in Thailand, you know what I'm talking na about) I couldn't say enough how much really enjoy the foods, the ambience and the service. You gotta come and try-- I'm sure you will love it! I will come back again soon. read more

Been wanting to come here and finally got the chance to just order something on my way to the hotel from the airport. So I ordered the chicken wings and the Ka Na Moo grob and both were freaking delish!! Let's start first with the chicken wings - the order came with 5 good size wings. It was well cooked. Crunchy on the outside and still juicy in the inside. The flavor was so balanced and that dipping sauce was a perfect complement. The Ka Na Moo grob was amazing. Reminded me of those street food in Thailand. It was earthy, smoky and the pork belly was crunchy and was well balanced by the Chinese broccoli. Just a delicious dish. When I arrived around 7:30 pm the place was packed. The one thing I noticed through was the music was a little loud which is almost hard to have a conversation with someone But service was great!! read more
Updating my review based on their reservation system and customer service since my last visit. I called Wednesday, December 17th for a reservation on January 3rd. I called back on Saturday, December 20th and left another message since I received no response. I didn't receive a call back until Tuesday, December 23rd to tell me that there wasn't availability at the time I requested. I have a few issues...first, it took 6 days to call me back, and this is their only way to request a table. Their website and answering machine state they will call back in 1 business day. Second, they didn't really seem to care at all and offered no apology for this. It's fine if there is no availability, but to make people wait nearly a week to get an answer causes those people to miss out on reserving other restaurants. Overall, I just don't understand the reason for the archaic reservation system, especially when the restaurant doesn't abide by their own system and call back in a reasonable time. Cheers, I will go enjoy somewhere else rather than wait a week to find out if I'm able to eat here. It's not right to make customers call multiple times without a response in a reasonable amount of time. read more

I have been to Thailand and I have tried food there and I can assure that its authentic and delicious. If you are into exploring cuisines and you want to try Thai food it's the best place of all the places we have tried. Just a heads up that it's minimum 1.5 hours wait time if you are walking in and when you walk in you put your name down and then you have you get to a bar beside it and do all the waiting there. It's a cool bar and quite small and they were doing a trivia night that day. Parking can be an issue too and FYI I went on a Tuesday. It's very beautiful small restaurant and the food is to die for and worth every minute. The hosts are very patient with all the questions you might have. read more
Papaya Salad - very fresh, light, delicious! Not spicy at all. Grilled chicken - wow this was phenomenal! Perfectly seared/charred and marinaded. The sauce that it came with elevated the appetizer even more. Chicken was super fresh and tender. This was the star of our lunch, hands down! Pad Kee Mao - had a bit of the breadth of the wok, rice noodles didn't stick together at all. Everything was fresh and delicious. No complaints. Overall a solid and authentic Thai restaurant in Phoenix. The only other thing to call out is that service is a bit slow. It took 45 minutes before our food first came out, starting with the papaya salad. The entire lunch took almost 2 hours because the wait for food was long. However, service was wonderful as folks were polite and helpful with recommending dishes. read more

We arrived at 3:00pm, before heading to the airport. Since we were in between mealtimes, it wasn't too busy. After we parked, we weren't sure where the entrance was. The door was covered in vines. The interior is dark, but we chose to sit outside instead. It was vibrant with greenery around. The yum het tod, tempura oyster mushrooms, with shallots and herbs were indeed yum. They were flavorful and crispy. Not sure if the salted crab added anything to the papaya salad. The spice level was good, but I wished the papaya was thinner. Lastly, we had the ka na moo grob- Chinese broccoli with crispy pork belly, son in law egg and rice. It was comforting. This was the best meal we had while in Arizona. It may be partly attributed to us missing Asian food. read more

Amazing food, amazing service, and ambience A must Thai restaurant to visit worth the wait. read more
Finally got to try the very hyped Glai Baan, and you know what it deserves ALL the hype!! Everything I had was great and my partner loved the food too. Our server was the nicest and most attentive person. We were sat inside and the vibe was just perfect. Honestly, everyone in the restaurant had a great vibe (including other customers). Im already planning our next Glai Baan date! Little tip: put in your reservation ASAP. if you can't put in a reservation- get there early-ish (we got there around 4:30 ish), put your name on the list, then walk to Rewind Bar next door for some pre-dinner drinks. They will page you once your table is ready. read more
My friend and I love trying new places and this one popped up on Instagram and we went on a Thursday evening at 5:30pm. The place was on a busy street and the parking was tiny which is why this review is getting a 4 stars. It was so congested and getting out was enough to give someone an aneurysm! However, once I found parking and the front door, I was transported to a different place. I LOVED it inside. It was very cozy and intimate and everyone was legit so nice and welcoming. Our server was so nice and since we have never been there we asked for recommendations. We got the mushroom appetizer which was out of this world amazing! I could have eaten like 10 plates of that. Then we got the rice soup and another dish with rice noodles! Both amazing as well. The rice soup, I have been craving and cannot wait to try it again. With the parking though, I probably my would do take out or go earlier than 5:30pm. All in all, I love this spot, food and service and ambiance was amazing! read more
Finally! This place has been on my bucket list of restaurants to try forever! My friend and I were in area shortly after it just opened on a Thursday at 12:00 PM. At 12, there was ample parking, though I can only imagine the lack of parking during main dining hours. The restaurant is small with bar, main and patio seating. We were greeted by an extremely friendly staff. We chose to sit out on the patio. The place filled up fairly fast shortly after we arrived. All the servers were on top of taking orders, delivering food and clearing dishes along with checking up on you. We ordered beers while looking over the menu. So many dishes I wanted to try, but it was the only 2 of us. We ended up ordering the Beef Salad, Shrimp Pad Thai and Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork Belly. All the dishes were amazing, maybe the weakest was the Pad Thai. The Beef Salad and Chinese Broccoli were just heavenly. We will definitely be back for lunch when it opens or make a reservation for the evening. To note: my only negative is the flies in the patio area, even with the fly fans, didn't help. Atmosphere: small cute house. Service: excellent. Food: excellent. read more
Visited Glai Baan while in Phoenix. The atmosphere was cozy and intimate, and the service was warm and genuinely welcoming from the moment we walked in. Dan, the owner, greeted and seated us himself, setting the tone with heartfelt hospitality. It's hard to believe this charming space was once a 1954-era Dairy Queen -- the transformation is impressive and full of character. We tried several of the Thai dishes thoughtfully curated by Cat, Dan's partner and a Bangkok native -- each one soulful, beautifully balanced, and packed with authentic flavor. Overall, an absolute gem and a spot I'd return to without hesitation. Saluti read more
