Glin Thai Bistro has such a cozy vibe, and the staff couldn’t be friendlier! The cocktails are amazing—definitely try the Mile Away. It’s a mezcal drink that’s strong but super smooth, not too sweet. If you’re not in the mood for alcohol, the mango lemonade is super refreshing.
The food? Absolutely delicious. The mangosteen salad is a total game-changer, and it’s perfect with the crispy soft shell crab (though I wasn’t crazy about the dipping sauce). The portions are huge, so it’s great for sharing. The deep-fried fish, for example, is massive and seriously impressive.
The only downside is the location—it’s a bit out of the way in the Navy Yard. But honestly? Totally worth the trip!
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.
Did a Google search for Thai restaurant and this place popped up. Saw the excellent rating and decided to dine for Brunch. We were not disappointed. Food was well-seasoned, flavorful and tasty. Would dine again. Definitely recommend. We had softshell crab and curry puffs ( a great way to start our meal). Then we had crispy duck in curry sauce, crab fried rice and the clay pot glass noodle dish.
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.
We had a hard time deciding what to order because everything on the menu looked amazing. Ended getting pomelo salad, duck curry and a whole steamed fish--very different dishes, but all were delicious and cooked well. Food came out quickly, and we're hoping to come back one day to try more.
Excellent food, well priced. Servers are very well aware of allergens and cross contamination, which was very reassuring, as we had a celiac patient at the table. The mangosteen salad was out of this world, and personally I thought the veg curry w/ vegetables was great too. We were served by Daisy, who was a great server and very helpful.

Everything we had was great
The best thai food I've ever had in my life
The food was so so good. Drink 10 out of 10 and server was amazing. Legit came back 3 days in a row
Great food and even better service!
Charlie had the best customer service I’ve had in a long time. She is absolutely the best!
Charlie(y?) was cool. Did not seem too young to be working or coerced at all.
Great branzino and rice balls. If you get Charlie as a server you are in luck. She is great.
Our dinner experience was great! They were accommodating to us with an allergy in the group. We had the pancakes, khoa sai, crab curry, duck and prawn fried rice. Thanks to William for his suggestions. Would recommend!
Amazing food Shani our server was great
Sooo goood!! I wish I took some pictures but i was so hungry and it was too delicious to wait.
The curry duck is probably the best in NY, that Lychee adds the perfect layer of sweetness! Cant wait to come back
Excellent food and menu selection, great service, will definitely be thinking about this meal for a while!
Every dish was absolutely delicious 😋
Love the mango stinky rice!!
Such good authentic Thai food my drunken noodles were fresh and well spiced. Service was great. Would also be a good spot for take out
Food was uniquely fantastic! Service by Cherry was exceptional!
Cherry was great host
Drunken noodles for almost 18 dollars is not worth it . Portion is very small chicken is very dry as well as no spice drunken noodles are suppose to be spicy . The setting of the restaurant is nice how ever this meal was not worth it noodles over cooked and again chicken is super super dry
Not sure I’d recommend
Always delicious, fresh, high quality with amazing service
Best Thai food I’ve had in Fort Greene. The fried branzino, Thai chicken wings, prawn fried rice, and short ribs were DELICIOUS. Highly recommend!!!
So fresh and delicious! We really loved the Kra Pow Nuer! We’ll be back!!
This is the best Thai food spot in Brooklyn! The services amazing. Everyone there is so genuinely kind and generous. The Food Is always fresh and delicious! I’m so happy you’re in my neighborhood! The Kra Pow Nuer is my new favorite dish in life! Just incredible.
Excellent food and service will be back!
The food was great - we ate the chicken wings, fried crab and mango salad for starters and then crab fried rice for mains. Cherry was a very knowledgeable and attentive waitress which we really appreciated - she provided great advice on ordering and was simply a delight!
Absolutely delicious food, and Cherry was such a friendly host. Would 100% recommend
This place was a true delight! Food and service were 10/10. Could not recommend more highly. Vibes were perfect for a date night option!
Delicious. Really good food, really nice cocktails and the service is great.
Restaurant gives you a discount for 5 star reviews. Food was very underwhelming.
The pad thai and pad kee mao I ordered were both underwhelming - almost no vegetables added to the stir fry and the choice of noodle made no sense. It was like 95% noodle. Papaya salad also didn’t feel like the fish sauce was mixed well - flavor just kind of washed away.
This is our favorite neighborhood go-to spot. Always happy to dine here. Great service from Charlie while sitting at the counter tonight!
The papaya salad had no flavor, and the noodles were stuck together, I had to cut it with a knife. There was barely any protein or vegetables in them. Very disappointed and won’t order from them again.
Amazing food and cozy vibes! The prawn fried rice and beef massaman curry were delicious. We got a table without reservation on Friday night and will definitely come back!
Great food, incredible service and ambiance. Our waitress was really nice and had good menu suggestions. Can’t wait to come back.
Amazing, probably the best Thai I’ve had in NY. Every dish was great, but the massaman curry was especially impressive. Very friendly team and nice vibe!
Love this place!
The wings are fire 🔥
Yummy food! Great service! Thanks Jet!
Jet was awesome and recommended authentic cuisine that tested great.
I was really excited to try this restaurant due to its ratings. Unfortunately, the delivery service and food wasn’t as expected. I placed a timed delivery an hour prior the time I’d liked it to be delivered. Here and there it happens that it doesn’t come on time. 30 minutes later still no delivery, I called and the lady was very friendly and said it’s on the way. 30 mins after the call, the food has finally arrived. An hour later than I’d scheduled it to be delivered. The food was lousy warm, the sticky rice I ordered was super super dry, and my appetiser was soaked and soggy :( The Thai Green Curry was delicious, tho. I’m not sure if I just got a bad day and you guys were extremely busy but I just god very disappointed. Communication about delivery with the customer would help (an updated tracking system via the websites ordering app).
Had fun! Good food with good friends. <3
Came to this restaurant for lunch and everything was excellent. The service was impeccable from beginning to end. I got the Kee Mao short rib and my mom got the pad thai goong and we both were super happy.
Food was delicious. Service was friendly and courteous. Nice atmosphere.
'A Mile Away' cocktail was good.
Thank you Sherlyn!!
So lucky to have this amazing restaurant in my neighborhood. Truly the best Thai I’ve had in Brooklyn with exceptional service and a welcoming vibe. Their menu is ever-changing and full of complex flavors. Can’t recommend enough!
Loved it. Pam is great
Glin thai is my all time favorite restaurant in BK. The steamed bronzino is phenomenal!! I also highly recommend the Prik Khing cocktail if you like drinks with a kick of spice. I find myself coming back here quite often. Great experience all around.
Charlie was amazing, excellent service. The food and drinks blew us away!
Everyone here is so friendly! The food was amazing! The best I’ve had since travelling to the USA. If you want great service, amazing food with a relaxing atmosphere then look no further!!!
This place is the best. Food is insane. People are even better. Thanks!!!
The best Thai food I have ever had.
Excellent food and awesome atmosphere, staff were amazing!
Nice restaurant, and the cocktails were good but thought the food was kind of lacking. We ordered the chive pancakes, papaya salad, the branzino, the short rib with noodles, and the mango sticky rice. Nothing really stood out, with the exception of the chive pancakes.
Everything else had a semblance of a great dish, but the flavors were mild. The fish was cooked well but lacked a lot of strong flavors and the short rib was dry - although the noodles were good.
All in all, spent close to $300 for two people. For those prices, I’d expect more.
Service was attentive and great.
Food was exceptional with great service by Cherry! Great music and vibes.
Amazing restaurant!
Good vibes. 10/10.
Really delicious food and it was ready so quickly! Loved the unique menu options. Cherry was such a sweet waitress. You’ll be well taken care of with her!

Very lovely place and great staff. Found this place randomly on Google maps, saw the reviews and I’m amazed of their 4.9 star. Will definitely be back with friends and family. Thank you Cherry you’re awesome! Food was flavorful and well balanced. See you soon!
Good job cherry
We love the neighborhood. We love having Glin here! Delicious hot pot soup. The duck is awesome . Great service !
Great service! Great food! Wish there were a few more veg options but no complaints otherwise
Everything was amazing!
I made an order on DoorDash for pickup but once I arrived, I wanted to dine in since it was cold and pouring outside and we were hungry. We figured it wouldn’t be a big deal to ask to be seated. When we asked, they said we can’t eat at the restaurant because their dine in menu is different from what we ordered. We ordered a chicken pad Thai, curry puffs, shrimp pineapple fried rice, tom yum soup, and Thai iced tea. All of which they had on their dine in menu. There was nobody seated at the restaurant, it was completely empty. I’m not sure why they made up a reason to not allow us to dine in. They might have been racist (we’re south asian) because they started saying something to each other in their language. Not to mention they also forgot the straw for the thai iced tea. Will not be coming back here.
Amazing place food and people!
they somehow keep deleting all their bad reviews. staff is extremely racist don’t go here
I love this place, this best drinks and food is always delicious!!!
So tasty! Great cocktails! Great service! 10/10 would recommend!
Delicious food and Cherry was a fantastic waitress. From the decor, food, ambiance everything was great!
A wonderful place! Great food and service. Highly recommend
Love all their dishes!
Charlie provided us with an exceptional experience. She was kind, helpful and improved our overall experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
a gem! glin is definitely among the best thai restaurants in nyc, but the overall
experience here sets it apart. lovely vibes, service, and the staff is so welcoming. we loved everything we ordered so you truly can’t go wrong. still thinking about the crab fried rice!
Tom Yum hotpot was superb. The green papaya salad was so good. Next time I'll ask for more spice, but there will definitely be a next time. The other dishes were uniformly delicious. William our server was so charming.
Came on a Saturday evening with a reservation. Our table ordered five entrees and universally loved the lime steam fish (Pla Neung Manow) and stir fried short rib (Kra Pow Nuer). Service was excellent! They were able to accommodate an allergy and were patient about some indecisiveness we had while ordering.
Had such a great time and incredible food!! Service was great, and our server William was super fun to talk to. Will be back!
William was incredibly awesome. Remarkably charming individual with great chit chat. Good food, drink, service, and of course, good William ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing food
Had a horrible experience here two nights ago. Went with a friend who has shellfish allergy. We wanted to order Pad Thai and asked them to make it with chicken. They refused. Same with fried rice which was with crab. They would not substitute the protein.
Also we asked for regular tap water and the waitress got a bottle of still and opened it.
Because we could not order any food we left and were asked to pay for their mistake of still water. We requested to talk to the Manager who was a lady at the bar. She basically just kept smiling and repeating that they cannot change the menu.
We were made to feel unwelcome and the staff were rude and obnoxious. Will not go again.
We left and went over to the news block to Thaiholic for a fantastic meal.
Great food
Absolutely delicious
Very nice and relaxing lunch. Delicious too.
Staff very friendly and accommodating.
One of the best atmospheres and services in Brooklyn. Oh and the food is delicious!
