Made a reservation a few days ahead for a Friday night. My boyfriend and I ordered: + Thai iced tea + Tum Mung Kud (Mangosteen Salad) - highlight #1, so good and what feels like a unique find in NYC! + Pla Lui Suan (Fried whole de-boned branzino) - highlight #2 + Larb Ped with Khao Jee (spicy duck larb) - also loved this. spicy! Was overall really impressed - high marks all around. Will be back for Khao soi and more salads! read more

Very delicious!! Beef shank was delicious!! It's funny because I thought it looked dry but it wasn't at all! I had the pad see ew and that was more flavorful than most. My friend got the duck and it was extremely spiced and flavorful but almost too much for her. It's good, but it's very heavy with the spices! The rice gets served in like...a cone shape? On a plate. Which is interesting. I think I would prefer a bowl though to be honest. I loved this place. Would definitely come back! read more

MUST TRY: Kra Pow Neur -- 5/5 Crying Tiger -- 4.7/5 Beef Shank Massaman -- 4.6/5 ALSO GOOD: Gui Chai (Chive Pancake) -- 4/5 Chicken Satay -- 3.8/5 Andrew and Thomas originally wanted Italian, but the wait was somehow 4 hours, so we ended up here instead. Very glad we did. The Kra Pow Neur was easily the best thing we had and a legitimate 5/5. The short rib was insanely tender, full of umami and slightly sweet flavor, with a really prominent crust without being tough or dry at all. It also wasn't really spicy despite all the chili listed in the dish. This is the thing I would absolutely tell someone to order. The Crying Tiger was also excellent. Properly cooked strip loin, prepared exactly how we asked, with toasted rice powder, fried garlic, sticky rice, and Thai sauce. Again, not spicy at all. Honestly one of the better steaks I've had. The Beef Shank Massaman was another standout. The sauce itself was decent, but the beef shank was extremely tender, well seasoned, and paired really well with it. The chive pancakes were good too. Crispy, served with sweet soy sauce and fried shallots. I thought they were solid, but Andrew was defending these things like his life depended on it, so maybe you'll like them even more than I did. Chicken satay was probably the least exciting dish. The chicken itself was pretty basic, but the peanut sauce was definitely above average. The experience was easy. We ate at the bar, which is actually big enough to comfortably eat at, the food came quickly, and there were no problems. Honestly I'd probably choose the bar again because it's easier to keep adding dishes without trying to flag down a waiter. Not really a value spot, but the food is good enough that you probably won't be upset about what you spent. Love love love the food here. Food: 5/5 Experience: 4/5 Price: 3/5 read more

Came here on a spontaneous Sunday evening and it was packed. Thank goodness we made reservations 1 hour before arrival. Food was delicious. Love the chive pancakes. The short rib was so flavorful and the meat fell off the bone. The curry duck was great too - a tad spicy. Very hospitable and staff were great. Will be back! read more

Came here for dinner and ordered duck curry, pomelo salad, Pla Lui Suan fish and other dishes. Thinking about it the pomelo salad was not necessary because the Pla Lui Suan fish already had salad. The extra salad was redundant. The fish was crispy, great, and amazingly made. It was the best dish of the night. The duck curry was on the other hand disappointing. Felt like it wasnt fresh and it was saggy and didn't taste great. It had pro and cons at that night. I'd rate it average. Perhaps I will give it second chance in the future and come back again in the future... read more

Glad I tried this spot by me, their chive pancakes are really unique and FULL of chives. The branzino in curry was also super good and it seems they have a lot of branzino (fried, steamed, etc) and beef options. Waiters were extremely friendly and it's a cute neighborhood spot in fort greene area read more

We had a solid meal here and the portions are fair for the price point, and the atmosphere in Brooklyn is lovely. Kee Mao Short Rib (4.75/5): Our absolute favorite. The meat was incredibly tender and literally fell off the bone. It could have used a punch more of seasoning, but the texture was perfect. Thai Ice Tea (4.75/5): Perfectly balanced, creamy and delicious without being overly sweet Beef Shank Massaman (4/5): Solid choice; the beef was well-cooked and the curry was flavorful. Pad See Ew Chicken (4/5): Good, though it leaned a bit sweeter than the traditional savory profile. Gai Tod Wings & Pad Thai (3.75/5): The wings were okay but felt slightly overcooked. The Pad Thai was also on the sweeter side, though my friend really enjoyed it. Pla Neung Manow (3.75/5): Usually my favorite, but this version was a bit overcooked and the broth was blander than expected Thai Dumplings (2.75/5): Be warned if you aren't a fan of cilantro! The flavor was overpowering and unexpected read more

So the food here was incredible and easily 5 stars but they lose a lot on the quality of service. I'm not even hard to please, go see my review history I'm generous with my stars but I was really appalled at the service here. First off even with my resy reservation we were seated in these tiny booths right next to the kitchen where we were promptly ignored and forgotten the entire dinner. Every little thing we needed I had to flag somebody down- we were sat down a whole 20min with just the drink menu with nobody checking on us. The table that sat next to us had food menus so I asked if they could take our drink order and give us menus and she said oh just scan the barcode here. I wish you would have told me to do that when you sat us down? Or put a little table notification in the center with the barcode front and center. I asked why the table next to us have physical menus and she said oh that's limited. Our appetizer came fast but that's where we were again ignored and forgotten- the entrees took 45min to come out. We sat at 745 and didn't get entrees till 855. Meanwhile the same table next to us who sat after us had received and finished their entrees long before we got ours. I don't know how that's acceptable service... To add insult to injury after of course flagging another person down (which by the way is difficult because this seating area is ignored by servers) to get our check the minimum tip % was 20. What happened to 18? It's a shame, because the food genuinely deserves 5 stars. The appetizer and curry were some of the best I've had. But being seated in a forgotten section, waiting 45 minutes for entrees while a table seated after us finished theirs, and then having a 20% tip minimum built in on top of that service made for a really frustrating night. read more

Cute spot! Inside is small with a bar and a few tables. We were a party of 5 and started with the chicken satay for an app. There were a lot of good looking menu items here but I went with my usual pad see ew with chicken and medium spicy. It was solid and the spice level was perfect. I also got a thai iced tea which was perfectly sweet for me. Service was good and we were checked in regularly. Definitely a solid thai spot. read more

Favorite dishes: -The citrus salad embodies the way Thai flavor components meld: sweet, umami, a little heat, salty. Most memorable appetizers -Pad Thai-I mean, everyone loves a Pad Thai so get over the guilt of being that person who orders a Pad Thai and just get it. -Duck curry: that curry was good and creamy over rice. Kept going back for it. -Their happy hour deal on wine and beer. The fish had a LOT of mango on top of it. I appreciate the drama. And I do wish there was less digging through the mango to get to the fish meat. read more

Overall a delicious Thai place good for date nights or small hangs. I've been here a couple times, for weekday dinner. Once for a table of 2 and once for a table of 5, and I've never had to wait for a table (though the whole party must be present to be seated). My favorites have been the duck curry and pad Thai. The fried branzino is also good and I really like the mangoes and sauce, it just wasn't as big as I was expecting. The tom yum hot pot had a good amount of seafood in it, and the crab fried rice is solid. The portions are decent, but both times I've wished there was more food. The main dishes come with rice though which is nice! They have a pretty good happy hour deal: $5 for beers, $7 for wine, and $11 for cocktail (limited options). There is one restroom. Service is great. read more

Kind of disappointing for takeout. I found the spring rolls to have too thick of a wrapper, making for a tough, chewy texture. The massaman curry tasted out of balance - a bit thin in texture and a touch too sour for my taste, with muted spices. read more

Glin Thai Bistro knocked it out. Best Thai I've had in a long time. Monday night in Fort Greene, small room, no fuss, service that actually knows the food. Ordered the chicken dumplings, papaya salad, and Crying Tiger. Dumplings were the right kind of simple: thin wrappers, juicy filling, not greasy, and the dip actually belonged with them. Papaya salad was the real test and they passed it -- crunchy, loud, sour and hot in the right proportions instead of that sweet bottled-sauce version you get everywhere else. Crying Tiger was the star. Properly grilled beef, char on the outside, still tender, and that spicy dipping sauce had depth, not just chili heat. Everything came out hot and timed well. This is not "pretty good neighborhood Thai." It's the version you remember the next day. Already thinking about what to order on the next visit. read more

So far I've only been here for lunch and loved my meal. The prices were reasonable for the lunch special and it came with plenty of food. I absolutely loved my chicken pad Thai and Thai ice tea. My friend enjoyed the garlic chicken with rice as well. Lovely presentation and vibes. Service was great. I can't wait to try dinner here. read more

This was my second time. The service was attentive and the food was better than last time. As someone who normally gets tofu in my Thai food it was limited options but we went with branzino curry and vegetarian curry both very good. Papaya salad was tasty but not the best I've had. I got passion lemonade and it was too sweet should have just gotten soda. The ambiance is nice and it's a bit nicer than your average neighborhood spot. Went with friends but we each got our own dishes read more

Booked a Saturday night reservation for 2 people. I don't recall if there were many open tables, but I booked the reservation about 4 hours before our eating time. We were seated at the back after waiting for a few seconds. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 The back of the restaurant has stronger ventilation, so wear a sweater if you are susceptible to lower temperatures. The bathroom is even colder, but relatively clean (barring the customer that left a mess of the toilet). The hand dryer was above the trash can, so make sure the hand dryer isn't being used while the trash is open. Service: 5/5 The service was immaculate. We were given an adequate time to select our drinks then food. Our water was poured and refilled regularly. The staff asked us about our food and status regularly. Our waitress kindly lent a hand when my friend and I were rearranging plates. Food: 3.5/5 Personally, I was slightly disappointed with our dishes. The Thai Ice Tea was pretty creamy. Our Chicken Satay was alright and the accompanied cucumber salad was refreshing, but the peanut butter sauce kept falling off. The Broccolini was a decent fiber dish, so I suggest ordering at least 2 plates for larger parties. My friend was satisfied with the Kra Pow Nuer because of its generous amount of meat and tasty onions. I got the monstrous Kee Mao Short Rib. The meat was lavishly tender, juicy, and fatty, but the star of the dish was the ramen noodles. I didn't taste any seasoning on the short rib itself, so it was essentially just a lot of meat on a stick. I'm the type of person who likes sauces with their steak, so it wasn't my ideal type of meat forward dish. The ramen noodles gave bites of sweetness and saltiness, and the snip of peppercorn was a pleasant palette cleanser. The Thai basil on both plates also added a great crunchy texture. Multiple staff members gave their thanks as we exited the restaurant. I would recommend this place to family and friends because of the lovely establishment and staff. and I would try different dishes for my future visit. read more

I've been to Glin Thai Bistro a few times and it never misses. First off, the ambience is beautiful and cozy. The only downside is some of the tables are quite close together. The service is fast and friendly, and I love how they have a happy hour. In terms of the food, I've gotten their duck curry, pad thai, and pad se-ew. I usually don't eat duck or thai curry but I absolutely loved the flavor. I wasn't even that hungry but I could not stop eating given how delicious everything was. It is probably one of the best Thai places I've been to and highly underrated at that. read more

I've always loved the full flavor, richness and beautiful presentation that Thai cuisine offers. Glin Thai is a great option - we had brought the family together for a celebration of completed projects- of course Thai tea is a hands down hit every time. Appetizers were the chicken wings with amazing pickled pears/ a perfect salty sweet crunch to cleanse the palate. And the dumplings- a joyful comfort. We enjoyed the duck curry, the pad Thai with prawns and the beef shank. Some of the dishes were a bit on the dry side- slightly overcooked- but we nevertheless enjoyed ourselves and our meal together. They have vegetarian options for those who are avoiding meat based dishes. Service was efficient. read more

Glin Thai Bistro - Order with bestie Ying - Thai Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If I were able to give this place 10 stars, I would. As soon as I saw Michelin Star on the door, I disregarded the Korean spot on the corner and dashed in. I was floored by the service, presentation, and absolutely authentic flavor of the food. Every dish was a work of art. As if the chef painstakingly labored to have the dish coming to the table be a mirror of the picture on the digital menu. It was like the picture animated itself into real life with robust and rich flavoring. I bless this place with overwhelming abundance and positive vibes. The atmosphere was nice and upscale but not pretentious. Everyone there as customers appeared as if they were about the foodie life but in a grown up way. Our server was so nice and sometimes invasively helpful but I loved it. I will be back. read more

The Glin had delicious food. I really enjoyed my mail. The food was fresh. My husband ordered a salmon and had a nice crisp layer on top but not burnt. They did that thing they know how to cook. I'm gonna say everybody must try the lemon drop passionfruit shot. It's amazing. The only doubtful is that they didn't don't have a bigger cup. I think that's why I gave them four stars cause he was looking at me crazy like a bigger cup no it only comes in shot size so I was like OK. Food is a little pricey, but it's worth it. The ambience of the places is beautiful is clean is very, very classy. The surface was nice. I just felt like there was a little language barrier. I could be wrong it could've been me, but I was asking for things in certain questions and I felt like she she didn't understand me so I just left it as that ordered my food and ate read more

This place is REALLY good, the food is really a tier above other Thai in Brooklyn. It is a strong 4 stars. We were there for the happy hour and got 2 margaritas each. They were very good but predominantly ice lol. And then we got the chive pancakes as an app, these were particularly fantastic. I got a vegan mushroom dish that when I ordered it was like "ahh am I gonna regret getting mushrooms for dinner." But NO! It was sooo good. It has a red white type sauce that really sews all the flavors together. My boyfriend got a red curry that he absolutely adored - perfectly spicy and creamy and flavorful. Overall, giving this 4 stars because even though the food was delightful, the experience felt incredibly rushed. It was a Saturday night so perhaps they needed to turn the table over, but we had 2 rounds of drinks, an appetizer, and entrees and were in and out of the restaurant in 45 minutes. The tables are also quite close together which I am of course used to in Brooklyn BUT these felt particularly close. All of this is to say, I would recommend it here and try it again. read more

I came here for dinner with friends and it was amazing. The place is pretty cozy with seats in the front and back but highly recommend making reservations to secure a table. We did family style dining and ordered a bunch of stuff to share. The mangosteen salad and pomelo salad were both excellent. The papaya salad was good but pretty standard so I would skip. I love they allow you to order adjusting to your spice level. Very helpful. The Broccolini Fai Daeng is also very delish with a good 'wok hey' flavor. The Fried whole de-boned branzino was really good and crispy and eaten with the dipping sauce, excellent! The crispy duck curry was FREAKING AMAZING! We didn't know what to expect but it blew us away. We cleared the plate and used the curry to eat with the rest of the rice. The crab meat fried rice was also good. Simple clean flavor with big chunks of real crab meat. Eat it with that green sauce! The Kee Mao Short Rib was good but not our fav. Mostly because compared to other dishes, it wasn't as flavorful. For dessert, we ordered all 3 available which was the mango sticky rice, the taro custard and the taro balls with coconut milk. I really liked all of them so you can't go wrong depending on what you're in the mood for. They do have happy hour but only for 4 drinks from 5-7pm. read more

Glin was rated as one of the highest rated Brooklyn restaurants a few years back and ever since then it has been on my radar! I've never made my way here because I thought it got very busy on Friday/Saturdays. Happened to be in the area early on a Sunday so popped in after a long day at the park nearby. They had a happy hour for some glasses of wine/aperol spritzes so had to indulge. With one other person we ordered the wings as an appetizer, crab fried rice, as well as the braised pork belly. Wings were very good-- if you like any sort of Thai chicken wing these will not disappoint. The crab fried rice was okay in my opinion. I think I was hoping for a bit of spice in it, but the crab chunks were large and it didn't taste like it had MSG which can be refreshing. The star of the meal was absolutely the pork belly dish. Loved the fried Thai basil on top. The meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. It paired great with white rice. Would come back just for this dish! Honestly would like to come back to explore more of the menu with a group so we can try a bunch of stuff. Oh, also great service here. They give great recommendations and also explain the various dishes if you want to know more about the food! read more

I made a reservation about 30 minutes before dropping in. They were able to accommodate and find a great table for me. Everyone from the wait staff to the chefs was friendly and warm. The retaurant itself utilized every square inch of space, creating a cozy and intimate environment. Perfect for a small group dinner, or a date with that special someone. I ordered the Chive pancake and the Thai chicken wings for starters. The Chive pancake was crispy, hot, and almost creamy on the inside. In a word: excellent, especially dipped in its sauce. The wings were crispy and hot, packed with umami and added texture from the flakes on top. The glaze it was tossed in was finger licking good. For the entrees, I ordered shrimp Pad Thai and duck Curry. The shrimp Pad Thai was delicious. They managed to load the glass noodles with flavor, which complimented the large, juicy, perfectly cooked shrimp. The duck Curry is the best Thai dish I've ever had. The BEST I'VE EVER HAD. I asked for it to be served spicier than normal, and I'm glad I did. The spice complimented the flavor bomb that was the curry. The pineapples, fresh okra, and lychees in the curry were top tier. The duck was PERFECTLY crisped and flavorful. Every bite of the half bird was satisfying and crispy. My feet were tapping the whole time. I'll be back to try more items. read more

Excellent Thai food. Pricey but quality with good portion size. Food descriptions and ratings below: Frozen Thai Iced tea is slushy and sweet, perfect for hot summer days. I prefer the regular version though because it's more drinkable. 7/10. Aperol Spritz is orange flavored with mild alcohol and some sweetness. 7/10 Thai Iced coffee is milky and sweet. 7/10 Curry Puffs are so good with a thin flaky crust and it's packed with lots of sweet filling on the inside. 9/10 The Tum Mang Kud (Mangosteen Salad) is very refreshing and light with great flavor. Mangosteen is hard to find at a good price so this is great. 9/10 Ghang Phed Ped Yang (Duck Curry) has a super crispy skin and a moist meat with sweet curry sauce including pineapple and long an fruit to give it an extra fruity sweetness. 8/10 Khao Pad Mun Goong (Prawn Fried Rice) is very savory and comes with sauces to spice things up. The prawns are more cooked than I prefer but very tasty nonetheless. The rice is enhanced because it absorbs a lot of flavor. 8/10 Kee Mao Short Rib was gigantic. The outer skin has a crispy char and the inner meat was soft, falling off the bone. It's not seasoned like the other dishes though, this is more for people who prefer the natural meat flavor. The ramen topping was fun to eat. 7/10. Mango Sticky Rice had sweet fresh mango topping and soft sweet rice on the bottom. 7/10 Lod Chong I-Tim is a block of pandan coconut ice cream surrounded with some cereal and cream. It's like shaved ice but you gotta do the shaving with your spoon. 7/10. Staff was excellent. Service was fast. Cherry helped us pick which items to order and we were happy with the selections. The staff was very nice and they helped us celebrate a birthday as well! Credit card accepted, they come to your table with a hand held credit card machine you just have to pick a tip. Easy payment. The restaurant is clean and seating is comfy. They have some padded seats along the wall in the front. read more

We had an excellent meal at Glin. Came in for dinner as a party of 2 on a Monday and were seated immediately. Their signature drinks looked interesting and were discounted for happy hour, so I got the Passionfruit mojito and the Mekong old fashioned. The mojito was my favorite of the two. We ordered the duck curry and the pamelo prawn curry- both of them were delicious. The duck had some lychees in the dish which added a twist of sweetness, and set it apart from Thai curries I've had previously. I had never heard of pamelo before (it's a fruit) and that added some sweetness to the prawn curry. Both dishes were marked as medium heat level but that scale is definitely for white people, as they were both mild heat in my opinion. We were too full for dessert, but I couldn't resist the frozen slushie Thai tea so they put it in a to go cup for me. Fast, pleasant service and a nice, quiet (but not too quiet!) ambiance. We'll be back! read more

Wonderful restaurant A+++ So glad that i found this restaurant in Fort Green. This Thai cuisine is very modern and you would have never had before! We got a table around 1pm on Wednesday. They have frozen Thai milk tea! Very clean and cute flower decoration is going on everywhere in the restaurant. We were couple, 4 meals were definitely a lot but why not. We tried Papaya Salads, Soft shell crab, Cray pot rice and Spicy shredded beef. They were absolutely delicious!! It's amazingly well done their original recipes, we enjoyed so much of their modern Thai style. We appreciated very friendly servers, the service, delivery timing was perfect. We also got Mango Sticky rice. Which was xoxoxo Will definitely come back and try new things out soon. So cute inside, open windows. good for a date brunch or night out! read more

Few flavors of delicious Thai cuisine have hit me as much as these did as soon as I took my first bite. The mangosteen salad was a rich, juicy, sweet and spicy way to start off the meal. Then we moved on to the kee mao short rib, which blended together the tender meat of the beef with the crunchy basil leaves. The duck curry was a great main, but we kept coming back to the short rib; I kept wanting to alternate so that it would be my last bite. The service here is excellent and the interior is great for a nice, intimate dinner. I am definitely coming back and recommending this place to all my friends. read more

I was able to walk in for an early dinner on a Saturday night for a table of 2. The restaurant was empty at the start, but filled up quickly as the night went on. We got a papaya salad to start, which was not spicy at all. I've never had one with the fried shrimp or fresh green beans, and I wasn't that big of a fan of the papaya salad. That being said, the tom yum hot pot and the pad see ew were very good. The hot pot had a lot of seafood that was cooked very well.

The flavors here are authentic and the service is attentive and very nice. I've ordered 3 different dishes and my favorite was the Goong Karee. I love how there was a lot of sauce - it was full bodied, full of different ingredients that you could taste, like small chunks of garlic, onion and celery. I have ordered this dish from a number of Thai restaurants, and nobody gets creates a sauce like this one from Glin! The Kra Pow Nuer had too much gristle / fat for my liking and the beef tasted slightly unflavored, but it was still an interesting dish. I also wish their Panang was slightly less spicy. I appreciate how fast they prepare pick up takeout. Nice interior too. Overall great place. read more
