| - YES! Was here not too long ago, also it's been years since I wrote a Yelp review this place is one of its only exceptions.
As a person who moved here to Phoenix not too long ago, Since moving here, ive yearned for authentic south East Asian cuisine here in the valley (being from Khmer, Thai, and Chinese decent)
I'm happy to say Glai Baan is doing something right, they're not doing what Phoenix wants. They're feeding Phoenix something they never knew they needed.
From dishes as like Khao soi, Pad kee mao, nam phrik, aren't really found her in Phoenix, possibly due to the major amounts of dumbed down Asian menu's to fit the cities palate.
Glai baan has become a beacon of light for Phoenix's food scene, something I been patiently waiting to see for this city. This place is somewhere I feel like I can invite my friends of any racial decent into my grandmothers home without the feeling of hopefully not chasing them out with the smell of fermented fish hanging in the air. Instead; excited for them to taste the roots of our ancestors without having to change the food.
Thank you Glai baan, you've made me proud and happy to be here in Phoenix.
