Phoenix’s 17 Iconic Dishes

"Glai Baan has achieved something that seems otherwise impossible: making Phoenix known for exceptional regional Thai food. Chef and co-owner Pornsupak “Cat” Bunnag’s dedication to bringing the flavors of her Bangkok upbringing to the Arizona desert has helped create a dining experience that feels both authentically Thai and also distinctly phoenix. Glai Baan, translating to “far from home,” specializes in dishes reminiscent of Bangkok street food and the bold flavors of northeastern Thailand’s Isan region. The menu is chock-full of traditional and tweaked dishes that all stand on their own, yet the pork dumplings (Kanom Jeeb) are a standout. Made with local Arizona pork, these steamed dumplings are outstandingly juicy and succulent, pairing perfectly with their scallion and ginger soy sauce." - Mcconnell Quinn
