| - This is the kind of place that changes and makes a neighborhood. And the kind of place Phoenix needs a lot more of.
The atmosphere and vibe are authentic, creative, eclectic, cozy and all around wonderful. From the serving dishes, cocktail presentations, light fixtures, shelving behind the bar, use of the limited space, etc, everything is thought out and unique to Glai Baan and true to their roots. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, accommodating and always nearby, but never overbearing.
The cocktails are simple, thoughtful and dangerously good. Enough of a variety, but not too many choices. Again, consistent with their Thai roots, and pair well with the food.
Ohhhh, and they also have food. Super delicious food. We had the dumplings, mussels and panang curry. We had to talk ourselves out of ordering more just so we could keep eating and trying more dishes, despite being stuffed. We literally just almost ordered a second portion of the panang curry as soon as we tasted it because it was so damn good.
We could not have had a better experience. We left euphoric, very full, and frantically texting friends who hadn't been yet telling them to go asap. Thank you, Glai Baan, for creating such a perfect little neighborhood spot. We'll be back as many times as our bellies and wallets will permit.
