  • large private party, party of 35
    Hosted a large party of 35 people and it was excellent
  • bachelorette dinner, party of 12
    Charlie was our server for the night for a party of 12. From the phone call to take our reservation to the service, food, and atmosphere, it was an absolutely phenomenal experience. They really helped make our friend’s bachelorette dinner feel so extremely special! Thank you Charlie and every staff at Glin Thai Bistro for taking care of us so well. We left with happy tastebuds, bellies, and most importantly, memories. It was a beautiful ending to our trip to New York. (Didn’t take enough photos but every dish is seared in my memory).
  • group dinner, party of 13
    The BEST Thai food!! Love the ambiance and our party of 13 was well taken care of by Daisy. Outstanding service!
  • birthday dinner
    I wanted to love this place but this is my second time and the experience was unsatisfactory. It was my fiancé’s birthday and it was his first time at Glin. The service was fine at first but then it got really busy and it became clear that our server was the only one working. I don’t hold that against her but it took a long time to order, get our drinks and additional things we needed like share plates, utensils and napkins. The drinks were delicious but the second round took so long to come that we canceled it altogether so we could leave. Now for the food - great flavors but our food immediately came out lukewarm like it had been sitting there in the kitchen for awhile. We expressed that and we were met with questions instead solutions to fix it. They finally took it back and brought it out a little more warm but it still wasn’t hot at all. We ended up just eating some and packing up the rest. It was a truly disappointing experience for a birthday dinner.
