Glin Thai Bistro

This was a fun, flavor-packed Thai dining experience with an impressive variety of dishes. Everything arriving at the table felt colorful, aromatic, and designed for sharing. The crispy fried chicken wings was golden and crunchy, topped with a generous layer of fragrant crispy garlic and chili—an addictive combination of savory, spicy, and crunchy textures. The som tam (green papaya salad) was bright, tangy, spicy, and refreshing, with tomatoes, peanuts, chilies, and plenty of lime. It brought exactly the acidity needed to balance the richer fried dishes. The standout centerpiece was the slow-cooked beef shirt rib with noodles and crispy fried herbs. Tender, richly flavored meat paired with springy noodles and aromatic greens made this one of the most satisfying dishes of the meal. The seafood soup was creamy, fragrant, and packed with mussels, shrimp, mussels and herbs, while the whole crispy fried fish topped with fresh mango, herbs, chilies, and onions was especially impressive. The crisp fish against the sweet-tart mango topping created a great contrast. The restaurant itself has a warm, lively atmosphere, with lush floral greenery, intimate tables, and a bustling dining room t

Fantastic local Thai spot on Myrtle. Walk-Ins are typically welcome and there's plenty of seating. The food is amazing! Probably my favorite Thai in NYC. You can get nearly any meal with thai spice (they never make it spicy enough) but the flavors are all on point. Somewhat intimate experience, prices are right in line with other thai restaurants in the general NYC area (outside Woodside/Elmhurst). Service is always great. Make sure to arrive well before close as they have run out of multiple dishes on us within an hour of closing.

Cute spot! Inside is small with a bar and a few tables. We were a party of 5 and started with the chicken satay for an app. There were a lot of good looking menu items here but I went with my usual pad see ew with chicken and medium spicy. It was solid and the spice level was perfect. I also got a thai iced tea which was perfectly sweet for me. Service was good and we were checked in regularly. Definitely a solid thai spot.

We visited Glin Thai Bistro for lunch and had a great experience. Even though we didn’t have a reservation, we were able to get a table without any problem. The restaurant is also conveniently located very close to Fort Greene Park, making it a nice stop before or after a walk in the neighborhood. We started with the Taro Rolls and Gui Chai (Chive Pancake). Both were excellent. The Gui Chai was especially delicious—crispy on the outside, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. For the main course, we ordered the Chu Chee Pla Yang (grilled branzino with Chu Chee coconut red curry) and the Kee Mao Short Rib. Both dishes were outstanding. The branzino was fresh and well-prepared, and the curry had great depth of flavor. The Kee Mao Short Rib was rich, aromatic, and packed with interesting Thai flavors from the lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and basil. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and helpful throughout our visit. Overall, a wonderful lunch and an excellent dining experience. Great food, great service, and a place I would happily visit again. Highly recommended.

Amazing food! For appetizers, we had the chicken satay and gui chai (chive pancake), and both were excellent. We also shared the Lee Mao short rib, which was absolutely delicious! Aden, our server, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

Sat in the front of the place and they opened up the front windows so we were basically on the street. Great food. Great service... this place won't disappoint. Bit on the higher price side of thai good.. but the dishes reflected that level of taste, freshness and creativity. Had 4 of my sales team together from across the country and everyone was super happy with their dishes. I had fish in red cury... fresh. Flakey. And delish!!!

Very tasty and not your typical Thai food! They have a handful of classics but also more unsuspecting options. Second visit and I ordered better than the first time.

Wow! I believe this is officially my favorite Thai restaurant in NYC (and I’ve been to many trust me). Michelin 2025 & I understand why! Beautiful inside & out (great atmosphere and ambience) in the back i believe it needs more light though… -The Thai ice tea was very good -2 river old fashioned cocktail was nice & smooth -they ran out of GUI Thai (chive pancakes) so I didn’t get to try this -curry puff was delicious! Highly recommend -Tum Mung Kud (mangosteen salad) was delicious! So happy to have tried mangosteen! -Pla Neung manow was amazing! ⭐️Now the best item & winner was Kee Mao short rib! Wow incredible and so flavorful!!! Highly highly recommend! The mango sticky rice was good Definitely make your way here for incredible Thai food experiences (make reservations)
