Glin Thai Bistro

Our first time here, the food is great and the service was amazing. Eden was helping us for the menu and recommendations.. we ordered 3 dishes and dessert. Every meal came in perfect taste. The chef is a master. We loved thai food . But Glin is the best so far I found. We will be back .. 5 star 🌟

I dine at this Thai restaurant over the holidays and I can see why they were selected to be in the Michelin Guide 2025. The floral decorations and creative wallpaper give ease and relaxation to its patrons. The low lighting and music makes this a perfect opportunity for birthday celebration, date nights, or just a fancy night out with friends and/or family. The food were phenomenal! My family and I enjoy the Ghang Phed Ped Yang (Duck Curry) the most. The curry was sweeten by the coconut milk, but it was not overly creamy. The bell peppers and basil gave it a nice kick, but did not make it too spicy. The curry was perfect with the rice and the crispy duck was tender and juicy too! Another favorite of ours was the Kra Pow Nuer. The Short ribs are crispy and flavorful. You can definitely tastes the various seasoning and spices used. The Crying Tiger was the dish that surprised me the most. I was worried that the grilled strip loin would be chewy or dry, but it was actually very tender and juicy! The spicy sauce was a nice touch to the meat, adding more flavor to the rice powder and fried garlic. I was disappointed that the Ghang Som Goong (Southern Curry) was sold out. Hopefully, when I return, I will get to try it!

My friends took me here to celebrate my birthday, and everything was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was great, cozy and perfect for a special occasion. The staff were very friendly and attentive, especially JB, who provided excellent service with a warm smile and made the experience even more memorable. Overall, everything was perfect. Highly recommended! 🌟🍽️

well deserved of the michelin guide! excellent service from our server boomerang and the food was delicious. i recommend making a reservation as it gets busy in the evening. we live in fort greene and this is now our favorite thai spot in the area. highly recommend the pomelo salad, so good!

Cute cozy place with great food. Food was really well thought out. Lots of flavor in the dishes we ordered. We got the Kra Pow Nuer, khao Sao, chicken skewers and pomelo salad. Pomelo salad was my favorite.

Next level tastes and presentation Our server Greenie made us feel at home amd gave us the BEST recommendations. The rich and delicately spiced vegetable curry and super tender and richly flavorful stewed short ribs with crispy deep fried basil were the hits of the table. But it was all great. Even typically ordinary Pad Thai was levels better than usual. We will be back !!!

I loved the food here; every dish was amazing. However, I was disappointed with the seating arrangement by the hostess. There were three of us, and I'm pregnant, so we waited in line for over half an hour. There were only bar seats available, and we specifically told the hostess that we wanted to order our appetizers and drinks first, and she would help us move to a different table later. She agreed, but didn't actually do that. She seated the customers behind us first. After we repeatedly asked, we learned that a four-person table (two tables) near the door had been vacated, but she separated the tables so the three of us could only share one table. The tables in the restaurant were small; we barely had enough room for our three appetizers, let alone our main courses. Moreover, the space was very small, and my pregnant belly was very big, so I felt very uncomfortable! Luckily, we met a waiter named Aiden! He was incredibly patient and friendly. He found us a suitable table and apologized profusely for having to move us twice. When changing our cutlery, he even remembered who had used which cutlery. Aiden's attentiveness greatly improved our initial unpleasantness. I would love to come back just for the food and Aiden's service!

We enjoyed a delicious meal at Glin Thai - the food was delicious, flavorful, and fresh. We got the chicken satay, Thai iced tea, beef shank massaman, and crab fried rice, and they were all outstanding. The service was also very attentive and friendly. A hidden gem in the neighborhood!

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.

Walked in around 3:30pm on a Friday, not realizing they close at 4pm & reopens at 5pm. Super cute set up. Although we walked in late, we were still able to sit down & order a quick drink & appetizer. I enjoyed my Bellini & the curry puff pastry appetizer. I would love to be able to come back when I have more time to actually sit down & try other menu items. The menu seems like it has great options.

I went to this well regarded Thai restaurant a long while ago with one of my groups where we shared a bunch of dishes. It seems a lot of the poorer reviews are either for delivery which I honestly don't really count as it's not their fault or it's for generic American style Thai good such as Pad Thai so for people who are actually ordering good Thai food, it's even more stellar than the average which is already high. The staff here was friendly and attentive even when the restaurant got more crowded. They have a particularly good cocktail menu for a Thai spot being both reasonably priced and well flavored with the prices becoming even more reasonable during happy hour as they're all $10 for the signature cocktails instead of the usual $14 to $15. I had the Topaz with mezcal, yuzu, mango, lime, and orange bitter which was excellent with a bit of smokiness, some sweetness, and a hint of bitterness. Other people enjoyed the Prik Khing which is a spicy cocktail with chili infused Tito's vodka, the Tub Tim which has Thai moonshine (presumably ya dong), and someone thought the Mekong; their take on an Old Fashioned; was alright. We shared and a lot of food but unfortunately a lot of my photos did not come well. The Som Tum Thai/Papaya Salad for $15 with papaya, string beans, tomato, peanut, lime, and chili was pretty good here and well portioned. It could have been a bit spicier but I'm very used to the Isan style which is almost too chili focused. Otherwise, it wasn't overly sweet and just well balanced. The largest plate was the Pla Neung Manow for $36 with a steamed whole de-boned branzino fish with chili, lime, cilantro, and culantro (i.e. sawtooth coriander) in chili lime broth and it was decent. The fish was nice and tender and the broth had a good herbal flavor but it could have used a bit more heat. The Crying Tiger for $32 with grilled strip loin, toasted rice powder, and fried garlic served with sticky rice, fresh dill, and Thai spicy sauce was my favorite. Nicely cooked tender steak with a good version of Nam Jim Jaew; the chili sauce served on the side. It's a bit worse than a few spots in Queens but that's comparing Fort Greene to larger Thai areas which is almost a bit mean. The other best dish was the Ghang Phed Ped Yang for $26 or Duck Curry with crispy half duck, lychee, pineapple, tomato, bell pepper, basil, curry paste, and coconut milk. Again, the meat was well cooked and the curry which I'm presuming was a Penang/Phanaeng curry; a specific type of red curry; had a good mix of sweetness and spiciness. It was also nice to not just have pineapple but lychee as well with the only other spot I know doing it this way being one of my favorite Thai spots period, Sa Ran Rom (oops mentioning Elmhurst again.) The Crab Fried Rice for $26 with crab meat, rice, egg, scallion, cilantro, and cucumber served with chili lime sauce and chili fish sauce was a particularly tasty version. I'm usually not the biggest fan of Thai style fried rice but the one here had good texture and flavor from the wok and plenty of lump crab meat with the fish sauce and chili sauce adding some good extra heat and sourness when needed. Also with crab was the Ghang Pu Crab Curry for $25 or Crab meat with Thai southern curry. The version here wasn't too sweet and had a mild kick (could have been a bit spicier.) It wasn't as good as Pranakhon but the prices were more reasonable and again there was a good amount of crab meat for the price. We were going to get the Khua Kling/spicy minced flank beef but they didn't appear to have it on the menu anymore so we got the Khao Soi for $26 instead with egg noodles, red onion, cilantro, and pickled mustard greens with chicken leg quarters in a red curry coconut broth. I've had this in plenty of Thai spots and the version here was solid. Again the meat was well cooked and the sauce wasn't too sweet and it was a pretty solid version of this dish. Also with chicken was probably the weakest dish; the Pad See Ew for $17 with chicken, flat noodles, egg, and Chinese broccoli. There wasn't anything particularly wrong with the dish but the price was a bit high for being only marginally better than takeout and some of the pieces of chicken unlike everything else were a bit gummy. As mentioned above, the weakest dishes here described by others are the generic Thai dishes and this kind of fits that bill perfectly as well. We had two desserts which were around $15, the Mango Sticky Rice and the Pumpkin Custard. My preference of the two was the pumpkin custard as expected as this is one of my favorite Thai desserts but the mango was surprisingly sweet for that time of year/January. They were both good with decent portions. The food here is a bit pricier than many of the other Thai spots but the flavors are solid. There is another Thai spot I prefer pretty heavily in Brooklyn called Boran as well as the recently opened location of Zabb PuTawn near me as well but solid. Out of review space. Low 4

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.

4.5 stars - really yummy Thai food that tastes pretty authentic with unique twists! I feel like this place is so underrated, restaurant wasn't that busy on a Tuesday evening. The chive pancake had an amazing crispy exterior and chewy interior. The pomelo salad was unique and I loved the crispy bite. The Kee mao short rib was a little dry but the ramen on top was so delicious it made up for it. The prawn curry was flavorful, but could be spicier. The fried fish had a good portion size and tasted fresh. We also got the frozen Thai tea that was a fun drink. Prices are a little more expensive but I would come again!

Yummy Thai food and very nice service here. The drinks were delicious. Very much a local spot for those in the Fort Greene / Downtown Brooklyn area.

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!

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!

I was stuck in traffic on BQE and got off by Fort Greene and looked up a Thai restaurant in the area for lunch. I really enjoyed the food. The place was nicely decorated too. I ordered the crab fried rice, crying tiger, vegetable pad se ew and broccolini. The Thai ice tea was very good. I'm glad I made a pit stop and read the yelp reviews. They are closed for a break between 4 and 5pm.

Nice spot with great food. The restaurant's setup reminds me of the chocolate room near Atlantic area if you've ever been there. It's a narrow front interior and opens up to a bigger space in the back but the back is not that big. The Thai ice tea is delish. The gai Tod (Thai chicken wings) is nicely seasoned. The pla lui Suan (deep fried fish) was huge but didn't actually have that much meat. It was still good though. Our server Pim was so nice and let us stay there for a long time chatting.

The first time I went to this restaurant I was very happy. The food was flavorful and the ambiance and service was great. I had family coming over and was raving about how amazing this place was and we all decided to go last night. Unfortunately the food was not as flavorful as the first time I went. The portion was also very small. This was my favorite Thai spot in all of nyc and unfortunately it's not consistent with the food quality.

I recently had the pleasure of dining here for a casual dinner w/ the boys after some incredible art viewing at the bk museum.   The service was top-notch, with our servers being both friendly and efficient. We were seated promptly, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was very chill & friendly. Now, onto the main event--the food! Lol Our dishes were delicious, and I very much enjoyed my Thai iced tea & pad Thai noodles (hot, fresh & flavorful!) The portion sizes were generous.   In terms of cleanliness no issues there, very on point.   Definitely RECOMMEND! If you're in the mood for Thai.

A solid spot serving up Thai food in Fort Greene. We had our Thanksgiving lunch there and all dishes won our rounds of applause. ＊ Curry Puff*** With every bite we tasted the minced chicken and potatoes wrapped in the flakey baked crust. The curry was on a sweeter side, so don't worry even if you can't handle spicy food. They were too delicious that left us wishing for more. ＊ Gai Tod It's their most popular appetizer, and the hype is real! It came with 6 huge wings. Generously sprinkled with fried garlic and chili flakes, it had a slight hint of spice coming through. The spice was balanced out after dipping into the sweet brown sauce. The skin was crisped to golden brown, while the meat was still tender. ＊ Short Ribs Kee Mao*** Seasonal Special. A must order item. We were in awe when we saw how gigantic the portion was. The braised short ribs were fall-apart tender. You can tell they used good quality meat--they don't excessively marinate the beef and it still tasted delectable. The stir-fried noodles were coated with complex layers: it was tossed with crispy fried basil and chili peppers, while the lime sauce gave it a distinctive flavor and reduced greasiness. ＊ Crab Fried Rice*** Crab fried rice is a hit or miss, heavily depending on the seasoning, rice texture and "wok hei". Apparently Glin hit the mark brilliantly. They didn't skimp on crabmeat--we enjoyed every bite of fried rice with big chunks of crab. ＊ Coconut Pandan Ice Cream Seasonal Special. I couldn't stop eating the coconut whipped cream with cereal flakes. It was the perfect topping for pandan dessert.

Definitely stop by if you're near Fort Greene. It's so good when dining in. The food basically doesn't miss. I came by twice in a week with friends, and family-styled the pomelo salad, chicken wings, short rib, goong karee, pla neung manow, ghang pu, crying tiger, and kra pow nuer (fave). I love that the cooks rework classic dishes with better/seasonal ingredients. The servers were all attentive and really cared that we had a good time. It can get a bit warm in the summer without ventilation, but I'll be coming back in the fall/winter soon. I'm loving the recent infusion of authentic and affordably-upscale Thai spots in Brooklyn recently!

I stumbled upon this gem of a Thai restaurant in Brooklyn, and let me tell you, it's a true culinary delight! My taste buds embarked on a flavorful journey with the Curry Puffs, Pad Eggplant, and Duck Curry - each dish bursting with authentic Thai flavors that transported me straight to the streets of Bangkok. The ambiance of the place is enchanting, surrounded by beautiful flowers and trees that create a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The friendly staff added to the warmth of the place, making us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we walked in. We decided to kick off our meal with an appetizer that was recommended by our waitress - the Curry Puffs. And oh boy, were they exceptional! The Curry Puffs, as suggested, were a must-try, and I can confirm they lived up to the hype. For the main course, the Pad Eggplant showcased the chef's mastery in blending textures and tastes. The Duck Curry, a personal favorite, was a delightful fusion of tender duck and aromatic spices. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that left us craving for more. To complement our meal, we indulged in the Mekhong and Tub Tim cocktails - the perfect accompaniments to an already exquisite dinner. The drinks were expertly crafted, enhancing the overall dining experience. What truly sets this place apart, aside from the delectable dishes, is the exceptional service. The staff was not only attentive but also quick and entertaining, creating a delightful atmosphere that made our dinner even more enjoyable. In terms of value, this place is a steal. The prices are surprisingly affordable for the quality and quantity of food you receive. It's rare to find a restaurant with such a fantastic combination of delicious food, creative cocktails, and friendly staff, all at a reasonable price point. I wholeheartedly echo the sentiments of previous reviewers - this restaurant is a must-visit! Whether you're a Thai cuisine enthusiast or just looking for a great dining experience, this spot in Brooklyn won't disappoint. We're already planning our next visit, and I can't wait to explore more of their menu. Kudos to the team for creating a culinary haven in the heart of Brooklyn!

Our most ordered DoorDash delivery! Heard the restaurant space is awesome but we have yet to visit the location. Ordering their warm, spicy, comfort dishes is a happy Netflix dinner night for us. Green and red curries are our go to. Love the pad see ew and pad thai as well. Great quality ingredients, packed with flavor. Thankful for this neighborhood spot!

Sooo pretty inside!!! Service was awesome. I need to remember Thai restaurants close at 3pm I had to take my order to go sadly but the food was amazing! Lasted me two days as well. I love aesthetic, foliage, & cleanliness. This place covered it all. A sure oasis in a hardcore Brooklyn. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're a Thai lover like me. Ka Pao Gra Prow is my usual order and so good here. Go, enjoy!!!

Amazing Thai food here! Based on the food alone, I'd easily give Glin five of five stars: - The Thai dumplings were outstanding, I don't even know how they were able to pack each one with so much meat. Flavors were so savory, and the dumping was the perfect texture. - The crab fried rice was amazing, with plenty of large chunks of crab and two amazing sauces that gave just the right kick in terms of spice. - Just like the other two dishes, the pad kee mao was stellar. Chewy noodles, lots of chicken, a little bit of heat. The only downside of the meal was the strange experience we had with the service. They were attentive and responsive, but maybe *too* attentive. Lots of hovering to get us to order fast. They also rushed us out near the end of the meal - first implicitly by bringing the check while both of our mains were still clearly not done (both plates had at least 25% left on each). Then, explicitly, by coming over as we were paying the bill to explain that they needed the table asap. They were kind enough to give us a table for two on a Saturday night, even though we didn't have a reservation. But surely there's got to be a better way to manage capacity, rather than pushing customers out and bringing down an otherwise great experience.

I looked up this restaurant before ordering and it seemed legit. Reviews were great, pictures looked appetizing. What we received was a farrrr cry from what we saw online. I will note we did order this as delivery from DoorDash. I expect food to not be 100% perfect on delivery, but this was so so disappointing. The pad see ew has scrambled egg just throw on top, not mixed in. Odd. The noodles were SO brown like they had been soaking in soy sauce but somehow completely flavorless and already congealed though the dish was still hot. The mango sticky rice was sour--like the fruit was a day from expiration. The tom kha just tasted like watered down fish sauce. I didn't bother a sip of the Thai ice tea.

Back when this place had Myrtle Ave Restaurant Week, I came here with a small group of friends. The deal was 3 courses for $30 and definitely worth it! The interior was lovely and cozy, decorated with pretty flowers and plants, cool lights, along with interesting artwork. For my drink, I got the Butterfly Pea lemonade, which was a pale purple color. This drink was so refreshing and lightly sweet. I picked the Beef Skewers for my appetizer, served with pickled okra and roasted tomato sauce. The beef was tasty, well seasoned and boasted bold flavor. For my entree, I ordered the Duck Tamarind, which consisted of crispy duck with broccoli, carrot, asparagus, lotus root as well as fried shallots on top. This is absolutely delicious! The duck was perfectly cooked, with the meat being delightfully tender and the skin was delicately crispy. The tamarind sauce was wonderfully full bodied with great depth of flavor. The vegetables were also tasty and added a nice, fresh element to the dish. I had the classic Mango Sticky Rice for dessert. The sticky rice was satisfyingly chewy and there was plenty of condensed milk to enhance the taste of it. The mango was also very soft and juicy. I tried a bit of the Pumpkin Custard, which came with Vanilla Ice Cream. It was an actual steamed slice of real pumpkin, covered in a sweet sauce and coconut flakes. I thought it had a distinct, as well as unique taste, and enjoyed the creamy, milky sauce, combined with the coconut. Service was excellent. The waitress was welcoming and attentive. We were taken care of throughout the meal. I would return if in the area to try the Crab Fried Rice or Fried Whole Branzino Fish with 3 flavored sauce.

Had a great date night here on a Friday night. Service was fast and friendly and food was super tasty. We tried the classics here: 1. Pla Liu Suan: Fried whole branzino fish along with a mango salsa that was very tasty 2. Pad Kee Mao: Flat noodles (spicy) We were also able to catch happy hour that ends at 7pm and tried some very good cocktails for $12 each!

This is an upscale, elevated, Thai dining experience. If you are looking for basic Thai dishes, this is NOT the place for you!! My friend and I decided to check out Glin Thai Bistro at 7pm on a Monday. Reservations were easy to make with Resy, though we probably could have walked in without an issue. The inside is very aesthetic and gram worthy! The menu on their website is not accurate. Check out Lisa D's photo for a more updated menu. My favorite dish is curry, but every curry on their menu has some expensive item in it to justify the price over $20. I also asked the staff what dish was most similar to massamun curry and was recommended khao soi without mentioning the dish by name. If she had just point blank told me she was recommending khao soi, I would have gone with something else, as khao soi's curry base is more like red curry than massamun curry. I was looking at other reviews and they may rotate their menu, which is why they were showing dishes on the iPad without prices and explaining them verbally. It would be helpful to have inserts or a fully updated online menu to get a clearer idea of what is being ordered. This was my biggest issue with the restaurant and something I think should be updated on their end. We ordered soft shell crab ($12), prawn fried rice ($26), khao soi ($26), thai pastry cups ($12), and pumpkin custard ($15). My friend ordered several drinks and commented that they tasted great but were watered down. If you are a fan of soft shell crab, definitely get the appetizer! I thought it had no flavor and absolutely needed the sauce, but my friend enjoyed it. The prawn fried rice and the khao soi were both delicious. Both had excellent flavors and everything was cooked well. The chicken was moist and slid perfectly off the drumsticks. The desserts we had were also not on the menu and were explained using the picture strategy. The pastry cups (katong tong) were not sweet at all, despite me asking the waitress that I loved sweet things. They tasted like eating a nutty health bar. Both of us did not like the taste and could not even finish one puff. The egg custard was tasty inside the pumpkin custard, but it was nothing special. Service was very accommodating. We had many check backs and the water always got refilled. The staff also took much care to explain all the dishes. I was just bothered by the recommendations that were suggested as they were not aligned to what I had asked for. It may have been a communication issue, which is why having the rotating dishes with descriptions could be helpful. The entrees were very good, so if your palate is for elevated Thai food, definitely check out Glin!

Tucked away from the bustling crowds, this unassuming spot has quickly become my new go-to for Thai cuisine, surpassing even some of the more well-known establishments like Soothr. The flavors here felt more rooted in authenticity, offering a genuine taste of Thailand. Their mango cocktail, for instance, was a delightful surprise--capturing the essence of mango sticky rice but in liquid form, a refreshing take without the rice. The mangosteen salad was equally impressive, an uncommon but intriguing choice that would especially resonate with Southeast Asian palates. The star of the evening, however, was the Thai chive pancake--the best I've had in New York to date. Perfectly chewy without the slightest hint of burn, paired with a sauce that had the right balance of spice and texture. As for the curry puffs, while enjoyable, they felt somewhat skippable in comparison to the other standout dishes.

Great place for Thai food! We tried most of the menu and everything was top notch or beyond our expectations. The drinks are awesome and the happy hours are long. Come try it out!

My family found our new favorite Thai restaurant in Brooklyn. All the dishes were recommended from the chef and Wynn. All the staff were so kind and helpful in choosing our dishes and creating our drinks. I absolutely loved the colors of all the drinks we ordered and my favorite was the Naree's. For food, everything was incredible. I was obsessed with the short rib. It just fell off the bone and the spicy ramen with it was just perfection. The whole branzino fish with mango on top was so incredible. Don't forget to get their homemade dessert! We will definitely be back soon for more delicious food and drinks. Service was exceptional. Can't wait to go back soon! Drinks: - Bangkok Sour - Naree's Food: - Pla Lui Suan: Fried whole de-boned branzino fish with mango, onion, scallion, culantro, lemongrass, galangal, mint, and cashews - Kee Mao Short rib: 24 hour short rib, ramen noodle, chili, lemongrass, galangal, young pepper corn, kaffir lime leaves, Thai eggplant and basil - Sator Goong: Wild shrimp, curry paste kua, bitter bean, kaffir lime leaves served with Boston lettuce, okra and cucumber - Yum Kai Dao: Fried duck egg, onion, scallion, cilantro, culantro, shiso leaf and peanut with chili lime dressing Dessert: - Homemade Pandan Ice Cream

From the ambiance to the culinary experience it is the best Thai restaurant in NY. The drinks are so pretty and delicious. We took Wynn's recommendation with food and it was incredible. Not one dish was bad that we ordered from his recommendations. Every dish was amazing. I really loved the Crispy Duck. Every bite had crispness. The Short Rib with the Ramen was out of this world. It's so tender that I couldn't stop eating it. The ramen had a little kick and it was so perfect with the meat. The Spicy Shrimp is a must try. The Fried whole Branzino fish with mango and Thai herbs was insane. The spicy dressing with acidity was incredible with the fish. The hospitality from the restaurant was very professional. The young chef from the restaurant is very creative and so detailed with all the dishes. I can't wait to go back and try!

Ordered a take out for lunch here... it was good! I ordered by phone and the food took a bit longer than I was told to come out. Fortunately I wasn't in a rush so it was okay. I thought the $15 price was fair for the lunch special when looking at the quantity it good I got. The Pad Se-Ew was good, but nothing amazing. The salad was a nice starter for everything. I really enjoyed the chive pancakes and thought they were very flavorful - would highly recommend this appetizer. Overall Glin Thai is a solid spot to check out for Thai food!

My go to Thai spot. I'm absolutely obsessed. they have the best happy hour ever and some of the yummiest food I've had ever. Regular specials menu that rotates with delicious options. The spring pomelo salad was perfect. The bar is also well stocked, and the service and immaculate. They have a fair amount of tables for being a smaller spot, great for a date as well as a friend or family get together. Love you, Glin!

I had a great experience at Glin Thai Bistro. We had three dishes for lunch and all were phenomenal. The prices are good for lunch on both food and drinks. Staff is friendly and the space is clean.

The decor was very Instagramable and the staff were all very attentive and friendly. Some of the food were a little too salty but over all still pretty good. The crab curry was creamy and delicious, and the steamed fish was light and the lime sauce enhanced its flavor in a refreshing manner. The clay pot rice was slightly sweet and I loved the added ginkgo nuts in the rice. The mango sticky rice was an amazing desert, the combination of warm sticky rice, mango and mango flavored cream really makes this desert an unforgettable experience. Will come back again.

This place is so cute decorated so much with flowers and other things. The workers are really nice and gave my family great recommendations and everything was literally amazing. In particular I love their homemade desserts and their drinks are also really good. I can't wait to go back, delicious

Really had a blast at Glin Thai bistro with my family. Cannot believe how amazing the dishes are. All the seasonings and the garnishes complement each dish and plate. Not to mention the dessert is also homemade and amazingly delicious. Don't forget the drinks! The drinks are beautiful and also taste great. Not to mention the ambiance of the place is beautiful filled with many decorations and the servers are super friendly filled with great knowledge and information about recommendations. Can't wait for my next visit

we got the mushroom salad and duck fried egg- food was really solid and good but the experience was only slightly soiled by the service. i definitely felt like the staff was in a mood on this thursday night, and while it was not busy i felt a little bit rushed and not taken care of

This is probably the best Thai food I've had in NYC. The ambiance was amazing and the food came out super quick. I definitely recommend the Nuer Tod as an appetizer. The beef was really well seasoned and the dipping sauce was really flavorful. The main dishes themselves were also great! Some of the best pad thai I've had!

Just happened to dine here because I was in the area and I'm so glad i did. Every single thing we ordered was so good, especially the Tom Kha Gai, mango salad, and chicken wings. Workers are also very friendly and attentive!

Second time coming here - this place is a must. Words could not describe how good the food is. If you're thinking about going here - just go - don't miss out! The service and atmosphere are also excellent!

Had a really great experience here coming on a weekday and trying out the lunch special for $14!! It was a great value. There's a lot of flavor to the dishes and a lot of open space for seating. Most of the staff was nice and attentive. I really liked the pad thai the most!

I frequently do takeout from Glin and it is always a great and consistent experience. My favorite dish by far is the goong karee which is not easy to find at Thai restaurants. The portion sizes are good for the price and I will continue to return! It is definitely worth supporting this Fort Greene business!

Was excited to try this place with such high praises in the reviews on here, but honestly it was just ok. Tried the pad Thai and pad see ew. The pad Thai noodles were thinner than I'm used to so stuck together in clumps. The taste was off, not too sweet like Americanized pad thai, but just not right. The pad see ew was one of their best sellers so got that as well. The flavor was alright, nothing to write home about, but the chicken was low quality. Had multiple chewy pieces. Won't be ordering from here again. Was only trying it out as Thaiholic a few doors down has been less consistent the past few months. Even when Thaiholic is having a bad day though, it's much better than what I got from here last night. I'd definitely order from there if you are looking for good Thai in the neighborhood.

Second year in a row for restaurant week because this place has food that isn't westernized and also doesn't cost half this months rent. Curry's all a hit here, duck's a blessing, scallops perfect, clay pot rice solid. I'm a spicy pansy and handled it all fine. Nice people too! We like nice people!

If we could give this place 6 stars, we would!! Service was amazing and the food... left us speechless. Hands down the best Thai food we've had on the east coast and quite possibly ever!! Totally recommend if ever in the area.

African Americans "encouraged" not to dine-in. Will even go as far as to make you pay for each item as you order (no check at the end of dinner, a check after ordering drinks, a check after ordering appetizers, a check after ordering a main course) and will serve your food to you in "to-go" containers and a brown paper bag, despite being seated and tipping after each check.

Get the fried duck salad and the Shrimp Red Curry. Went here by chance and glad I did. Most definitely will come back to try other items as I was pressed for time. I enjoyed the atmosphere and I saw someone ordered the stir fry ramen short rib! It looked delectable! That is on my list of must try food items!

Found this gem on Yelp when I was visiting NY. Friendly service and authentic thai. This was a welcomed treat to find in Brooklyn. I got the Tom Kha soup and Pad Kee Mao and split the spring rolls ...

Excellent food! Perhaps the best Thai food I've had in NYC. (Even better, in my opinion, than a more popular michelin starred competitor in the city). Go for the branzino with mango salad on top (Pla Neung Manow) and the savory, spritely Crispy Duck Thai Fried Rice. Mango Sticky Rice is of course a classic (relatively sizable portion) and the pumpkin custard special was a nice and subdued nightcap.

Food is great. The green curry is amazing, Im not a fan of spicy food but it was good spicy not overwhelming spicy, chicken was not dry (I highly recommend this from the menu) our server/bartender is very friendly and attentive, service is great. Ambience is very relaxing not too bright but not too dark. Will definitely go back.

Updating my earlier review since you can still get the old menu via delivery -- hooray! Still really miss having more vegetarian options for dine in, though, and hope they bring a few back.

Everything we ate here was delicious, including crab fried rice, pad thai, short rib, beef salad, sauteed mushrooms, whole fish, and the coconut ice cream dessert. The staff was super friendly and came to say hi.

Some of the best and most beautifully presented Thai food I've found in the area. Very good service as well.
