    Finally made it to this Thai gem!! Love their authentic style street food! And absolutely loved that they had singha beer, just ordering it took me back to Thailand. Service was great and now I understand why it’s so busy!

    The service was spectacular, the food was wonderful and the place is super cute. I love how busy they are and the line wraps around the building. Be sure to make reservations or there is a high chance you will not get it or able to do takeout. Also the guy who was taking reservation was so kind enough to fit me into a fully booked weekend because It was my last weekend before I leave the state. The reason for my 4 stars is because the parking is a nightmare and I wish they would do something about it.

    Best Thai food in Phoenix area, service is always great here. They’re usually pretty busy. Our bartender, Max, was wonderful! If we live closer, we’d definitely be frequently visiting here🙌🏻

    Absolutely amazing!!! Almost had two of everything it was soo good. Everything is done with perfection- the flavors and quality of the food is on point 👊🏼👊🏼. There’s a good selection of wine, beer and cocktails. It’s a must to make reservations to experience authentic Thai street food at its best. Recommend the dumplings, wings, pork belly bowl, and Panang curry. Enjoy…

    WOW! really really good Thai food! Comforting to say the least! Highly recommend the dumplings & tempura fried mushroom appetizer! Everything we tasted was good! Get there early if you don’t have a reservation! It’s worth the wait though!

    Family owned and operated. The place is very small, so make reservations or prepare to wait a long time. They have an interesting approach to wait time. Since the place is small, they have you wait at a bar behind the restaurant (a separate business) and they call that bar and ask for you to be sent over. The menu has a lot of options. There is a very respectable wine list for such a small location and they have very interesting cocktails. WE shared many of the small plates, soups and mains. The food arrived piecemeal as you would expect in this style cuisine, but flowed from the kitchen relatively quickly. The service was attentive and very interactive. They saw we had brought some birthday gifts and asked for the name of the birthday person, greeted her by name and wished her a happy birthday. and brought a dessert at the end with a candle. A nice touch. I don't claim to be an expert in Thai cuisine, but have traveled to Thailand. By my account, this is authentic. The flavors were bold yet complex. Spicy, sweet, umami, you name it. Take a look at the pictures, it looks like it would taste great and it does.

    I’m not certain if the environment is reminiscent of a genuine home or restaurant in Thailand, but it’s a quaint and welcoming place. Space is limited and if you go on the weekend, you’ll likely wait 40+ minutes. But I assure you the cuisine is worthy of the extended wait time. I want to go again. The appetisers are delicious and the food is savoury. The amount of depth in the food is astounding, as it compels you to a subsequent bite. Your palate won’t become fatigued with the flavour. The waiter was amiable and informative and the price is slightly above average.

    Wow! This place indeed lives up to the hype that everyone has told me. One of my best or almost the best Thai food I’ve had in the valley no doubt. My friends came to visit from Houston and we all LOVED it. Favorite dishes we had voted by the group: pad Thai, panang curry, Tom yum soup, and mushroom appetizer. Can’t wait to come back and put more friends on this place!

    AMAZING! If you love Thai food, hands down some of the best in the USA. We eat here every time we visit Phoenix and it never disappoints. The service is top shelf and the food will just be you away. You will not regret eating here even if there is a long wait. Trust me, it's worth it.

    Absolutely! So good. We wanted to try so many more options. Will definitely be back. We got four different things on the menu and split everything just to be able to try everything. Very small. Try to make a reservation. We ended up having to wait an hour and 30 minutes. However, they also have a place that you can go nearby that has wine and beers as well as games to pass the time.

    Hands down, the most delicious Thai food in the Phoenix Metro area. Charming, lively atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating available. My favorite dish is the Pad Kee Mao with shrimp and my wife loves the Mackerel Fried Rice with extra cucumbers and chili oil. Customer service is top notch and personal. The host often remembers his customers by name and all of the servers are friendly and courteous. I do wish the portions were slightly larger—probably because the food is so good and I eat until I'm bursting with happiness—but the entree prices are reasonable and I don't mind getting an extra with some leftovers to take home. Living in the East Valley, we make the drive to Central Phoenix for this delicious Thai fare!

    Super authentic, flavorful Thai street food dishes. Drinks are tasty too! Parking is a challenge so you might wanna call a Waymo. They take walk ins - you might wait a bit, but it’s so worth the wait! Really enjoyed our dining experience and looking forward to returning soon.

    Oh my goodness! I loved Glai Baan! I had been planning a trip to Thailand in June, but because of the pandemic, obviously that didn't happen. I have been so obsessed with Thai food since then. Glai Baan might be one of my favorite new Thai places! Everything we tried was delicious! We shared the steak salad appetizer, crab fried rice, and the Khao Soi (I had to have it when I saw it on the menu because I remembered that it was a must-try when I was supposed to go to Chiang Mai!). Yum is all I can say. The food was delicious, the drinks were surprisingly strong, and the atmosphere was unique and perfect! Make sure to make reservations as it is a very small place with limited seating. They also have a first come, first serve patio which looked very cute.

    Seated right away. Food came out quick, as each item was made. The waiter was super attentive and made sure we knew the best of the menu, that we like our food and were satisfied. (Not pictured but also ordered the artichoke flatbread and it was great also) Went back for breakfast and received excellent service once again!

    This restaurant is absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere is inviting with a combination of casual and classy chic. I went with my grandmother and they had a ramp that she could take with her wheelie. The food was amazing and everything we had was prepared perfectly. The menu is full of items you simply can't get anywhere else. If you have the pleasure of going you should ask for Art, he was not only extremely nice and accommodating but also passionate about the food. This is a one of the best, if not the best, restaurants in Scottsdale!!

    My friends and I booked a reservation to celebrate my birthday for 6 people this past Sunday evening. Unfortunately we had a terrible experience. Our server was very kind, however he was not trained on simple menu questions regarding quantity and ingredients in food and drinks. Our reservation was for 6:30, and we didn't receive our drinks until 7:15. Food took another hour I would estimate. And we observed many other tables in the restaurant were in the same situation without food. There seemed to be a major breakdown in terms of staffing and it turned into an embarrassing birthday celebration. When our food finally came several items (including entree's for two of us) were completely forgotten. At that point due to the length of time we'd been there and overall frustration we asked them to cancel the missing food items, finished our food and left defeated. I suspect it had something to do with re-opening after being closed for a while; however at this price point I would expect the restaurant to be fully staffed and trained up before filling the restaurant with customers again. Overall it was a very disappointing experience.

    Maxwell the bartender and waiter was wonderful and attentive. Truly appreciated the experience here. Everything was flavorful and not your typical Thai spot. Definitely give the drunken noodles and panang curry a shot. Very good!!

  • 5/5 Jac B. 2 years ago on Google
    By far the best Thai in the valley. Our table shared the steak salad, the dumplings, and tempura mushrooms. The Panang Curry is life changing. We also got the Yum Moo soup and the flavor is incredible. This isn’t your typical, make you stuffed and sick Thai. Everything is fresh and light and easy to share. Such a wonderful dine out experience! We will be craving this!

    Really enjoyed this place. The food was so good and it was really fun to try all the small dishes. My personal favorite was the chicken wings. The patio area was so charming and the temperature was really pleasant (granted we were there in March). They also had these cute fan things in each table to keep the insects away

    I have to say, this is one of the best Thai food restaurant I've ever been to, the food tastes so legit, and it's just so flavorful and the atmosphere is so nice, I'd go here every day if I could. 100% recommend this place.

    This place is too expensive to have a fly issue. Absolutely beautiful building with vines growing all over the Walls and Even on the door entrance. The thai food was definitely some of the best. The service was Exceptional and the patio was gorgeous. Though it may not seem too expensive the portions Are not very large, you only get six chicken wings. So they shouldn't be having such a bad fly issue outside. The patio is one of the cutest patios in The area to eat at, So I hope the fly issue is taken care of next time I go.

    Quaint neighborhood Thai restaurant with a lovely outdoor patio (like dining in a garden). First visit Gerard was amazing. Great service and pretty good food, although portions are not equal to prices. We didn’t enjoy the recommended pork dumplings at all; even had a very unappetizing odor. Pad Thai was very tasty. Second visit was quite odd with service. Server seemed stand-offish and unfriendly. Midway through my meal, (unsure if they’re the owner, mgr, or?) came to my table, stood slightly behind me, to my right, just as I put a spoonful of noodles in my mouth to inquire how things were…needless to say, I obviously couldn’t answer (quite embarrassing and uncomfortable as they stood there waiting for a response—they should have immediately realized their error, apologized, and said they’ll check back shortly). Spice level was way off this visit. Requested 4 for Pad Thai, was 2 or less. The Shrimp was very large, but tasteless. Would’ve been nice to have sautéed it in the spices and sauce. The sirloin steak app was very flavorful and delicious. Only very sparse for $14. It would be nice if they offered a lunch menu. Inside dining is quite dark and tight. And there’s a very Small bar that also has two high top tables next to it. Parking is very tight and there’s only one way in and going out is awkward since you’re at an angle that is facing in rather than out. Get there either right at opening or later like 2pm after lunch rush. Evenings are best to have reservations. They have excellent reviews and I believe rightly so, perhaps my 3rd visit will prove to be the best yet.

    I am a big fan when I can have dope days, chill nights, good company, and mellow vibes. Came to Glai Baan with the family tribe and such a cozy, romantic, and charming little gem tucked in central Phoenix. Honestly, couldn't bear to check out and leave my seat and will be back on my next trip back to my old stomping grounds. Parking is a zoo much like the wait list. It's no surprise since GB is pretty spectacular and a crowd favorite. Ambiance is terrific and staff incredible. We preferred or opted to sit at the bar. For starters, if you are dining here, you're thirsty from the desert heat. The Laab sided drink has an Asian staple ingredient but probably such a tasteful blend of vodka and fish sauce. If you aren't adventurous or daring, try the Siamese sling or Temple T, both refreshing! I saw there was a cocktail called Roselle served in the cutest bowl and that's on my radar for next time. While I posted photos of the cocktails, we did opt to eat as well. Can't stop raving about the peek gai tod (wings) paired with the salted crab papaya salad (can you do Thai without ordering this?!?!!!) and the yum het tod (fried oyster mushrooms). Larb moo is basically minced pork with the most amazing shallot and lime dressing. Flavors are balanced without overpowering spice or too unique flavors to ambush the timid. It was great to savor street food after I had just returned from Phuket. No hurries, no worries... just relish being sanuk. Thank you Glai Baan for transporting me back to my homeland and for being a piece of paradise in Arizona.

    I went to Glai Baan for the first time on a Tuesday afternoon with my mom and my sister, and it was amazing. The atmosphere is great, the service is great, and the food was incredible. I ordered the Pad Kee Mao, and it was so good. For dessert, we ordered the Panam custard with coconut dip, and they tasted sweet. I would definitely visit this place again, and I highly recommend this place to everyone.

  • 5/5 Joseph M. 3 years ago on Google
    I can’t say enough about Glai Baan. They have the best crew. Everybody there is awesome and especially the chef and kitchen. The food quality is excellent and completely in its own lofty space among all other Thai food I’ve had in the valley. The whole experience is amazing - you get a cocktail menu that feels like it’s from another world. Every drink is unique and amazing with complex ingredients and visual beauty. And what could be more fun than a lovely list of little plates to compliment the aromatic palette of the cocktails. I can’t forget the atmosphere. It always reminds my fiancée and I of some places we love in Portland. Super friendly, warm vibes and it’s in a little old house! ❤️

  • 5/5 James K. 3 years ago on Google
    Can I use my wishing star to get more dumplings? Now open for lunch (Sept 2020) and not missing a beat. Everything on the menu is second to none and the staff exudes the passion only found in a small, family owned joint. With a great togo operation and amazing food (did I mention the dumplings?!) this is a cant miss Phoenix restaurant. Pro tip: uber here, parking is for rookies.

    A preferred site for thai food. Came here on a Saturday. The staff was very helpful and observant. It has a great feel to it. Food is similar to a cafe in Portland I liked.

  • 5/5 Mike B. 3 years ago on Google
    Hands-down one of the best Thai places in Phoenix. Gerado V is the man and provided nothing short of an amazing. Ask for him when you go in to get an even better experience Everything from the ambience to the dish presentation and food is on a whole other level. Each dish is unique and the specials they carry are absolutely delicious. Literally addicted to their pad thai, the flavor profile is fabulous. Highly recommend this place for very authentic Thai food!

  • 5/5 Ilyssa S. 3 years ago on Google
    A mellow, boho chic Thai spot with delicious food. Just wow! I can’t wait to come back here. I immediately planned my next visit because I couldn’t wait to try the other items on the menu and show this place off to loved ones. Mango sticky rice is delish

  • 5/5 Roger M. 3 years ago on Google

    Best Thai in Phoenix. Cute and intimate space too. We got Kao Soi, Nua Num Tok and Somtom Thai. It’s clear the chef is Thai because the flavors are spot on. What a truly heavenly meal. I’ll be back.

    This was one of the best meals I've had in Phoenix so far. Incredible, rich flavors and cozy ambiance. Definitely get the steamed buns with custard for dessert. Kind staff. parking was the only difficulty. 10/10 will be eating here again.

  • 5/5 Kaitlyn Q. 3 years ago on Google
    Been to many Thai places throughout the valley and this one easily blew them all out of the water. The food was truly authentic and incredible. If you are a fan of gin, the Grab Ma and Thai Hive cocktails are fabulous. All cocktails are creative and delicious!!

    Great spot 👌 first time in tonight and the service was very welcoming and quick. The host was awesome ! The food??? Just wooowww i loved it !! Definitely a spicy food lovers spot 😋, don't skip the small plates ! Dumplings are a must and I had a sunshower mix drink that was perfectly sweet and STRONG hahaha I only needed one 😁 would definitely recommend to friends and family.

  • 5/5 Allie L. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a great experience! My girlfriend and I went without a reservation and one of the employees was kind enough to have us wait at the Rewind bar around the corner and said he would call the bar when our table was ready. The wait was expected to be 45 minutes but was only 15, we walked back over and were seated on the patio. The atmosphere is very calming and warm, the waitress was so helpful and knowledgeable. We ordered the Larb Moo appetizer, the pad Thai, and the Koa Soi soup. Everything was spectacular and so well prepared. I worked at an authentic Thai restaurant years ago so always judge a Thai place based on the pad Thai. Theirs is the BEST I’ve had in years!! I will definitely be going back to try other dishes!

  • 5/5 sarah l. 3 years ago on Google
    Love this very beautiful, very aesthetic restaurant. The waiter was beyond polite and very friendly, the atmosphere gave a real like vibe and just automatically made your mood better and the groovy music was a delightful change in pace. The meal was delicious and our waiter gave my daughter and I dessert on the house. It was a splendid coconut Thai dish that hit just the right after meal spot. If you love Thai food and or are looking to try something new, this is the perfect place. Bravo we loved it and will be returning next time we are in town.

  • 5/5 Jacob M. 3 years ago on Google
    The dumplings! You will see so many reviews talk about these but they are better than you can expect we are still talking about them! The service was spectacular from beginning to end they went the extra mile for us even when they were pretty busy. We also had the pad thai and pad ke mao both are amazing you wouldn't expect thaivthis good in the area but this should be a must stop for all. Also if you like Thai iced tea this place has a great one which helps if you get your meals hot like us.

  • 5/5 Grayson M. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sydney G. 3 years ago on Google
    Immediately upon walking in, I loved the atmosphere. It has a boho chic vibe. Service was excellent. My friend and I shared the dumplings, which were flavorful and tender. My friend got the fried rice, which was phenomenal. I got the minced chicken, which was also very good. I would probably order it hot next time as the medium was not incredibly spicy. Amazing experience overall and I will return.

    Nice selection of breakfast food. Portions are very large and a good value for a hotel property.

  • 5/5 Rachael M. 6 years ago on Google
    This is my new favorite spot in Scottsdale. The food is decadent- each dish is a work of art, *almost* too beautiful to eat, but irresistible with unique flavor combinations that are tantalizing. The service is on point, Christian was fantastic. The cost is extremely reasonable for the quality of the food, the ambiance, service, etc.

  • 5/5 Casey E. 6 years ago on Google
    Brunch update: This is hands down the best brunch I've had in Arizona. First off, the staff is incredibly friendly and highly knowledgeable about each item on the menu. They make great recommendations based on your personal tastes and will follow up to make sure everything is as you expected. The brisket Benedict was OUT OF THIS WORLD, and that's coming from a true Benedict connoisseur. The pork plate was a wonderful variety of meat from a whole hog but the real star of this dish is the crumpets, they're truly delicious. The Brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly. The sorbet mimosas are the perfect way to cap the meal. I highly recommend the passion fruit! Outside, they have a falconer who is very friendly and will show you his falcon and explain all the intricacies or taking care of such a majestic animal. Overall, I would highly recommend Mowry and Cotton to anybody passing through Phoenix! Original (dinner) review: Amazing food, wonderful service and great attention to detail!

  • 5/5 Scot C. 4 years ago on Google
    Normally I wouldn't bother writing a review for Village Inn, but I must say they did a great job in breakfast Monday! Saw their ad for 3 pieces of French toast, 3 eggs, and 3 bacon or sausage for $5.99 and gave it s try. I had a great experience here for my first time. The waitress was awesome and the food was good!

  • 4/5 diego d. 4 years ago on Google
    Come for the mimosas stay for the falconry. Beautiful set up overlooking the main Phoenician resort pool featuring good portion sizes for a not outrageous cost. The crispy chicken sandwich was delicious though I didn't much care for the potato chips served. A great place to spend a few hours on a lazy Sunday though my folks thought the Bloody Mary's were bland...

  • 3/5 Manda B. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful ambiance, pool side patio, nice bar, good service but the food and wine list doesn’t live up to its potential. The soup was salty. The flatbread was a bit burnt. This resort doesn’t allow to bring your own wine, sad. The Moscow Mule, dog friendly & the good service saved the day!

  • 3/5 Michael S. 3 years ago on Google

    Friendly and accommodating kitchen. Fabulous view inside and out. Comfortable for 1-2 and large groups. Servers and management exceptional and submit to daily health checks. The abbreviated menu offers a great selection and reasonably priced.

    I'm a local who frequents the spa at The Phoenician (it's amazing). We stopped in here for a light lunch and really enjoyed ourselves. The atmosphere and seating is very calm and comfortable. I love the different combinations of flavors in everything prepared for us. My friend had the squash soup which I wish I could've bought a gallon of, it was that good and I'm not a soup person. I forgot the name of my salad but it was amazing. Service was top notch. Cheers!

    Mixed reviews. I would love to eat there in person. I can't place an order over the phone. I have to physically be there? I offer my credit card but this is not allowed. I have to wait there while the food is being prepare and physically expose myself to more individuals? This is not covid friendly. The food is great but this seems wrong.

    They are also open for breakfast and serve brunch on the weekends. The staff wears button down shirts, suspenders and leather boots to reflect the times. For decor, there are old distillery bottle all around the restaurant that plays off the lighting that comes in to create an ambiance feel of the Old West.

    We’re staying at the Phoenician for the weekend. Because we are titanium elite with Marriott, breakfast is included. Normally it’s a specific dish included, but they let you use the value of the dish as a credit towards ordering other choices. Our server, Christian, was on point- charming and attentive (even making our daughter laugh). Looking forward to going back tomorrow.

    I enjoyed meeting up with a couple of friends here. Mowry & Cotton opened up at The Phoenician in 2007. It is named after two businessmen (George Mowry and James Cotton) who came to Phoenix in 1872 and opened the first fine liquor establishment in downtown Phoenix. They were trying to create more of a community feel instead of the typical saloons that were around.

    Located inside the man Phoenician building just two floors down. Mowry & Cotton is a hidden GEM in the Phoenix area. With several menu items that are sure to delight the palette you will be pleasantly surprised by your dining experience. The staff is phenomenal and happy to serve. We, were even lucky enough (probably because we all ordered something different to taste) to have the chef come to our table and ask us about our meal. That was an absolute delight in of itself. Check this place out on your next free weekend and you will be pining for more. Oh, try the Lamb Tacos appetizer. It was our favorite.

    You do not have to stay at the hotel to eat at their restaurants ♡♡♡ Amazing Experience!!! Our server Art was very attentive, and explained basically every aspect of the menu for us. You can tell he definitely knows what he is doing, and enjoys his job! He made our experience one to never forget!! Seriously best service I have ever had! Oh, and don't even get me started on the food! He went out of his way to get me some gluten free bread (apparently it's served during breakfast). The plate with the buttered bread we ordered was decorated beautifully with butter, and I think blueberry jam. We also tried these sweet peppers (they look like jalepenos) with feta and some other flavors I can't quite pinpoint, but it was the most delicious treat ever!!! I will be craving it for forever (I don't think it is on the menu though, but I'm sure you could ask for it, idk). Their potato crisps were like fancy rounded french fries (almost like potato chips style) with so many amazing flavors, I would definitely order them again!The Ribeye steak was the absolute BEST steak I have ever had in my LIFE! It cut like butter, and had so many different flavors, I sat there just not wanting to stop eating it!! Also they have a champagne that is made specially for the restaurant, and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though it wasn't super sweet like I usually go for. My fiance also had the donuts for dessert, which he ate even though he was full, because they were so delicious. They came with mini bottles of chocolate, strawberry sauce, and caramel sauce, which were all high quality. I would definitely come back to eat here again!! Best experience I have ever had at a restaurant, hands down!

    Attended a meet & greet with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres for a mortgage company I do business with. Elena Torres was the host and her and her staff were exceptional. The food was awesome, the service was better, the atmosphere was gorgeous. Lauren, one of the servers went above and beyond helping me with some needs. Arturo delivered a mac and cheese dish to die for. Overall experience was awesome. Even as I left at the valet, Anderson was professional and very helpful. My first experience with the Phoenician andw Mowry o& Cotton and it was awesome. Thank you Gary Kiehlbaugh

    Pot pie is good but the menu is too limited. They also only have two beers on tap and neither was great. The resort as a whole is lacking in menu options.

  • 5/5 Jesse B. 4 years ago on Google
    Chef Tandy's menu puts together some amazing flavors, and has obviously invested the time to develop them. We are regular visitors even just for lunch. The only time we ever had a complaint, they comped our whole meal! Talk about class, and every bit as delicious as the upstairs steakhouse.

    Great service, the previous restaurant had better food selection and quality. Sadly disappointed that my favorite hotel in the country now has disappointing "new" restaurants.

    Very good food large portions, you can request half portions of salads or share We had flatbread with chicken and tuna bowl, rolls with duck fat Every one was very attractive,

    Unique food and presentation. Fast and friendly service. Portions are not large. Try the charred beets-the concept is interesting and the flavor is outstanding. If you sit outside, the birds are quite annoying and not afraid of people so they are very aggressive. Due to the location of the restaurant (close to pool area), it is a little noisy outside as well. I would eat here again but would choose to sit inside.

    Hosting a restaurant at a $400 million dollar resort implies a level of service and attention to detail that must be impeccable if you want the core clientele to take notice. Mowry & Cotton, which serves seasonally inspired American Cuisine, fails to impress on several levels. As this was a visit during Arizona Restaurant Week, I expected to be presented with the prix-fixe menu by the hostess but instead was given the standard menu. When I asked the server for the restaurant week menu, he retreated and then rummaged through some drawers until he could find them. This is restaurant week in a featured restaurant, and it makes me a little sad to think that instead of joining the celebration, Mowry & Cotton would rather hide away the prix-fixe menu and charge full price to unaware patrons. There were four of us dining together and we decided we would add-on the Buttermilk Buns served with citrus sea salt and duck fat fig butters. We had two orders, as suggested by our server, which was too much for the four of us as a starter add-on. The buns were hot, fresh and delicious, and the two different butter choices were pleasant and tasty. I did feel though that the dried corn sprinkled on the fig butter was odd and didn’t seem to add much of value. The First course I chose was an Heirloom Tomato Salad with beets, burrata, and a citrus vinaigrette. The salad was served haphazardly, appearing as a plain pile of arugula. It wasn’t until I dug into it, that I discovered the other ingredients. The heirloom tomatoes were very overly ripened and mushy, which was confirmed by one of my dining companions who had also, unfortunately, ordered the salad. If I had invited guests over for dinner at my home, I would never think of serving them tomatoes so far gone. Second course was Atlantic Halibut with bok choy, bell pepper, and green peri peri sauce. At first glance it presented beautifully, but then I notice the greasy fingerprints on the plate diminishing the effect. The halibut is tepid in temperature which is concerning. Was it left waiting to be served and cooled down, or did it never quite reach appropriate cooking temperature? It tastes fine, however, and is flaky and well seasoned. The peri peri sauce is a vibrant and tasty companion with the fish and the vegetables which are also quite good. For dessert I chose Lemon Meringue. Mowry & Cotton serves this as a lemon tart with the meringue as a garnish rather than a feature. The lemon tart was pleasant but the meringue was bone dry and reminiscent of stale childhood cereal. It was not something I would order again. After we paid the check and were heading out, we passed our server who was leaning against the bar watching television. He didn’t look up or acknowledge our departure though the restaurant was mostly empty. Overall, it was a dining experience that I might have expected to receive at a random low-end chain restaurant, but not at the Phoenician. It was a disappointing experience at Mowry & Cotton in service, presentation, and quality.

  • 5/5 Tina D. 1 year ago on Google
    Such an incredible meal! It was our first visit, so as usually we ordered a ton of food. Dumplings, chicken Padthai, Panang curry, and the Kao pad pu. It was all delicious, we sat at the bar, which is always our preference, and the bartender was awesome! Overall the service was just as great as the food!

    Glad Baan is a trendy Thai street food place in Scottsdale. The bar area in the front is lively and the staff is as friendly and welcoming as anyone could ever want. There is restaurant seating to the side and a few more tables at the back. The menu has a lot of variety. One of the favorites are the steamed pork dumplings. They are very good; probably the best in the area. The pad thai is about as good as you can possibly get. The noodles are buttery soft and the flavor is not overpowering. If you want a quick bite or host some of your friends, Glai Baan will not disappoint.

  • 5/5 Harsh V. 1 year ago on Google
    They have an outdoor patio and indoor seating. The indoor has a cozy and intimate ambience, but was packed, so highly recommend a reservation. We were walk ins but were able to get outdoor seating as we arrived just minutes after the restaurant opened. The service is great, their Panang curry was definitely our best dish. Pad Thai is good but the quantity wasn't filling according to a friend who ordered it. Parking is pretty tight, can be difficult to find a space during peak times.

  • 5/5 Crystal K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place did not disappoint! When you walk in it looks a bit squished but once you are seated you then get into the vibe. The drinks are amazing and so different from anything i have tasted. Customer service is great I always had a drink and the food was brought out almost immediately after we finished a dish which was great. Some of the highlights were the dumplings, Tom Yum Soup, and of course the Panang Curry. Been there two times and highly recommend.

    This place was my favorite! It takes planning to get in for dinner though. They take some phone ahead reservations, but the others are in person. Our wait time was 2 hours I think. Luckily we lived nearby and went home for a while then went to the wine bar nearby like they recommended (they communicate with their staff via walk or talkie and tell you when they are ready to seat you). Food: was sooo good. I loved the wings (peek gai tod) and dumplings (Kanom jeeb).I had the panang curry and it was life changing. Best curry I’ve had. My boyfriend had the pad Thai and enjoyed it as well. The drink I ordered was cute, but quite strong. My boyfriend liked the bread pudding type dessert, but I did not. Service: service was great. Everyone was so friendly and recommended dishes and it felt very authentic. Atmosphere: the atmosphere was a whole vibe. The lighting and music (chill hop type music) was perfect. The themed decor was also perfect.

    great atmosphere, amazing service. cocktails and food were ok.. not many vegetarian options. parking available. reserve ahead if going on weekends.

  • 5/5 A 10 months ago on Google
    Very long wait, make sure to get a reservation. Def worth the wait though. Stop by if in the area. The ambiance is great, especially at night. Make sure to get the chive cake, it is the best dish by far. Make sure to also get the pork dumplings. Friendly service. Definitely get a Thai tea as well, it is sweet.

  • 5/5 Melanie T. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect atmosphere, fiery food options, and creative cocktails. Loved everything about this spot. Reservations are recommended but the wait is worth it especially if you take them up on spending your time at the wine bar around the corner until your table is ready. If you haven't been here yet, make a reservation now !!

  • 5/5 Ryan K. 10 months ago on Google
    Been trying to get a reservation for awhile and finally able to get a spot at the bar… small spot, with mostly 2 tops The Bar service was great, with good cocktails at $16. Everything is around $14-17, and Each thing was good in its own right. Small plates and noodles/rice are shareable. Ka na moo grob (pork belly) was deep in flavor and texture. Next time perhaps finally get a table seat now we know how the phone constantly rings.

  • 5/5 Brenan Z. 6 months ago on Google
    The hype is real and well deserved. The tastiest Thai food in the valley. Each dish was bursting with flavor. Started with the Kanom Jeeb (pork dumplings) served with a tasty soy sauce, these were incredible. Next up Yum Woon Sen (glass noodles with shrimp), flavorful and the spices were on point. Peek Gai Tod (Chicken wings) are a must order as well. Super crispy and not oily at all, with a Deliciously spicy dipping sauce. For the main dish, Padthai with chicken. Hands down the best I've had in Arizona. Be sure to make a reservation or get there right when they open as they fill up almost immediately.

  • 5/5 Sagal I. 5 months ago on Google
    As many times as I have come here, I haven’t taken the time to appreciate this spot and write a review. All I can say to make a long story short is this is THE BEST Thai restaurant in Arizona. The level of detail the taste of the food and cocktails is just incredible. Thank you Glai Baan owners and staff for all the work you put in to making this place the best tasting food and experience ever.

  • 4/5 Patrick A. 5 months ago on Google
    Warm, welcoming atmosphere. I tried something new this time, suggested by owner, it was good but not great. Chicken wing appetizer not very savory. Just tasted like fried chicken. Overall though I think they do a very good job. Entrance was hidden. Suggest you try every door. (It's in the front)
