    Lunch special menu as of Sept 25
    Adrianna W.

    Very authentic Thai restaurant! I love this place, and the prices are very reasonable. Last week, I had their green curry and cashew chicken to go--both were amazingly delicious. I usually don't get cashew dishes, the cashew chicken here was sooo goood!! Today, I came back and ordered the lunch special basil chicken. The lunch special includes one egg roll, a crab rangoon, and a small soup. Everything came out fresh and hot. I also ordered a Thai tea with cream, which was served in a huge glass. Overall, everything was great! The service was good as well--no complaints about this place.

    Did take out from Thai Lotus, and it was delicious. Started with the spring roll, which was so fresh. It was almost a meal in itself. Then I had an egg roll, which was perfect. Next I dived into my Pad Thai (chicken and 2 shrimp). Surprisingly the shrimp tasted like Argentinian shrimp! Great taste! I also 1/2 of my order in the refrigerator for tomorrow's lunch!

    Picked up takeout from Thai Lotus this weekend and was pleasantly surprised! Thai Lotus is a dine-in and takeout restaurant, so if you're looking for a sit down meal experience this place is able to accommodate. It's conveniently located just past Glendale and 19th Ave with plenty of parking for customers. The restaurant interior has fun wallpaper and ample booth seating. The woman who helped me with my takeout was quick and friendly. I ordered the Pad See Ew medium spice and really enjoyed my meal. Other folks in my party ordered the Panang Curry and Pad Thai, note that the Pad Thai comes with a lot of peanuts. Overall I look forward to this place becoming my new Thai takeout spot!

    I've been living 10 minutes away for 30 years and have never been here. Why? It's tucked away and the exterior isn't very inviting. My grandson has been going here with his father for many years. He suggested we go there for dinner so we went and I had minimal expectations. I should say I love Thai food. We walk in, pleasantly greeted. The seats are worn and cracked, but everything is clean The menu is small, but lots to choose from. Our server was very nice and helped with the food selection. I got the whole fish, my grandson got a curry, and my wife got a noodle shrimp dish. When the food came out it was presented very nicely. Everything smelled wonderful, and tasted amazing. Everything was fresh and hot. Portions were plentiful. And prices are very reasonable. Well am I sorry it's taken me this long to go here. But it won't be long before I'm back.

    I'm a vegetarian and this place was sooo yummy! The staff was so sweet and fast service and the old school music with the diner style booth seats was such a cozy vibe!

    Worst Thai In Phoenix First Time Customer Via Uber Eats E-San Combo- Terrible. They gave more pickled papaya salad which is not fresh. 3 small pieces of chicken. Sticky rice is sticky dry. Tofu Spring Roll- Not fresh. Stale. Fried Tofu- Stale Don't even go here. They really left a bad impression for the price of around $40, you're better off with Rice Paddy, Thai Chili 2 Go, Pho Laveen and Pho Bowl Laveen. The cook doesn't love their job. Everything we got was stale, dry, bad portions and more. I don't understand why this business is still running. False advertising.

    Chicken pad Thai and vegetable yellow curry

    DONT PLAY WITH THE SPICE LOL I got level 3 chicken pad that and my boyfriend got level 4 yellow curry and I had one bite of his and it nearly burned my tongue off ..loll Once I got my mouth calmed down I was able to enjoy my pad Thai! Very good flavor a little kick but not over the top! Would definitely order back! But would definitely adjust spice level on curry

    The manager and staff yelling and threatening to call cops while looking happily justified in doing so.
    Marcus S.

    Poor service, small portions at dinner-sized prices. They wiill call cops if you disagree with them. They should go out of business. They never have anyone in the restaurant dining in anymore for a reason. I have eaten here since 2017. NEVER AGAIN!

    Ordered via DoorDash and the food was fabulous! Not pictured is the Tom Kah soup which was delicious. We will definitely be going in next time to check out the ambiance of the place but delivery was great.

    I had a phenomenal experience here. I've been sick and didn't feel like cooking or washing dishes and wanted something healthy. I live next door and will absolutely be back. The food, experience and customer service were top tier.

    Great Thai stop in Phoenix! I discovered this on the Michelin guide as a recommended restaurant and…read moreI had to check it out. they have a relatively small parking lot so if busy, it may be difficult to park. I showed up 20 minutes before opening and was second in line. At opening, they quickly sat everyone and filled seating in minutes. I had to get To-go because of a flight, but was offered a seat and water in the meantime. The interior is very cozy with reminiscence of Thailand. I decided on ordering pad Thai, Larb moo, and kanom jeeb. All was very good but I was obsessed with the Larb Moo! The line dressing was addicting. I hope to return one day and try the Khao Soi.

    This was my first time at Glai Baan and... wow... this met and exceeded all of my expectations! The…read moreservice was impeccable. We were a table for two on a Thursday night and did not have a reservation so we were not sure how long the wait would be, but we ended up waiting only about 10 minutes! From the moment we entered the restaurant we were greeted, given a place to wait and two cups of water to drink. Upon arriving at our table, the waiter asked if we would like drinks and if we would like the outdoor fan on since it was still a hotter night in Arizona. We each started off with Thai teas and they were delicious. I thought that there was a hint of marshmallow-y flavor at the end of every drink (I'm not sure if that is a common descriptor) but I enjoyed it. My only critique here was that there could have been more ice, but I love my drinks ice cold so that's just personal preference. We ordered the Yum het tod and Nua num tok as our appetizers and my goodness, they were phenomenal. In both dishes the sauces absolutely stole the show. I tried to get as much sauce on every mushroom and piece of steak that I could. The steak dish was one of the best and most uniquely complex dishes I've ever had in my life. Each bite is dripping with flavor and every ingredient on your plate adds a new feeling and taste in your mouth. It felt like an explosion in my mouth. Upon finishing the dish, I asked that we could keep the plate so that I could keep dipping the mushrooms, and potentially my entrees, in the leftover sauce. As for the mushrooms, for any mushroom haters, please put your feelings aside and try these with an open mind. The mushrooms were not chewy or overtly meaty and they were completely transformed by the thin battered that they were coated in. As for our entrees we ordered the Panang curry and the Pad kee mao. Both were good, but after having the flavor explosion that was the Nua num tok, I was almost underwhelmed by the simple flavor profile of the Pad kee mao (even though I did still enjoy it). The curry was also tremendous as the braised beef pulled apart with ease and the sweet curry was a nice change of pace. I truly could not recommend this restaurant enough. Anyone coming from out of state (or anyone trying to impress a date) should come here immediately. I will be back.

We came in a group of 5 and arai kodai (chef curated menu) is mandatory for that size group but sooo worth it. Admittedly our spice tolerance is 0 so even some of the dishes described as "minimal spice" were super spicy for us, but some of them really did have no spice level. Service was friendly, attentive, and professional. We went in late April and I'm not sure what all the dishes were called but some of our favorites were the refreshing mango salad (with dangerous pieces of spicy chili), fresh scallops, tom kha soup, and crab curry. Everything was super good though and 10/10 would love to come again!
