Love the shrimp pad Thai. Flavorful and good portion. Staff is friendly and attentive and decor was good. Knocked off a star because our card was charged to the wrong order but was fixed right away.

We loved this place! We ordered takeout and the food was made quickly, but everything was still piping hot when we picked it up. The crispy chicken with noodles was delicious, the berry wings had an amazing sauce, and the prik prow chicken was packed with flavor. We were a little underwhelmed by the crying tiger steak since it's supposed to be one of the standout dishes on the menu. Overall, the prices were very reasonable and we'd definitely order from here again!

My friends and I showed up on a Friday night. There was already a line of people waiting for a table. Fortunately, we were able to grab one of the last ones by the window. Parking is a little tough, but there should be enough street parking spots available. We shared a variety of items, including Spring Rolls, Panang Curry with Short Ribs (GF), Chicken wings, Tom kha soup hot pot, Roti with Green Curry, Chicken Satay, Pad Thai with chicken. The dishes that stood out were the panang curry, chicken wings, and green curry. The panang was great for the depth of flavor and tender short ribs. Wings were lightly crispy and moist. Green curry was rich and creamy. We were most disappointed by the tom kha which was very watery and not as creamy or define in flavor as we were hoping. Overall, we had a very good experience. And the staff were very friendly and accommodating. All of the dishes came out in a timely manner with great presentations. Would come here again and try some other many other dishes. Very beautiful and comfortable environment to be in.

This is my favorite spot to order Thai food from. I've only ever gotten delivery but it's always packaged great and stays warm. My go to order is the drunken noodles with crispy chicken, and a side of crab rangoons! Would love to visit and eat in soon.

Traveling from Texas and stopped in for lunch. Crying Thaiger Curry was served quickly and delicious. Fresh ingredients and excellent service. Decanter of water was a nice touch with a beverage selection.

Whoa, this place is great! My friend and I split the grilled pork cheek app, Penang beef short rib entree and rice noodle with shrimp and pork belly clay pot. It was all so, so good. The clay pot noodles were unlike any other Thai dish I've had before - there was a smokiness that paired so nicely with the slightly sweet profile. And the curry was both rich and well balanced. The short rib was cooked perfectly. The pork cheek was perhaps my least favorite out of the three. I think this was just a personal preference for the texture of the cut. But the flavors were great and I also appreciated the fact that it came with a good serving of vegetables. The service was also really friendly and attentive. Overall, definitely a 5 star spot. I'd definitely go back!

One of my favorite Thai places! The food is incredible especially the meat dishes. Make sure you save room for the dessert- the mango sticky rice was to die for!

Monica L.

Nice interior! We were seated immediately on a week night. Food came quickly too Good portion and tasty food! The kua gui noodles were perfect texture and chicken was tender. Comes with yummy sauce and in cool pot. Couldn't finish! Was maybe a bit oily but other than that enjoyable meal for the price! Also free shrimp chips!

Crying Ribeye - must order! So tender and juicy

Kasey H.

Tried out this Thai spot for lunch on a Sunday. There were plenty of tables available and the interior is well decorated. We ordered multiple dishes to share. The Crying Thaiger Curry was hearty with just a touch of spice, although the sticky rice we ordered on the side was quite dry. The spicy basil pad Thai was much saucier than traditional pad Thai. Crispy chicken was a good protein complement for this dish to add some textural crunch. Our favorite hands down was the Crying Ribeye! Tender, juicy, and perfectly cooked, especially with the tangy, savory dipping sauce on the side. We would definitely order this dish again. The mango sticky rice was also superb, the sticky rice in this dish was moist (unlike the side of sticky rice that came with our curry), the mangos were fresh, and the crispy Rice Krispies added a fun pop each bite. There were plenty of street parking spots nearby which was a plus. There were a few flies that kept disturbing us during our meal, but overall we had a great experience.

Joy Q.

Omg the food was as good as I remembered from several years ago and this is still tbe best Thai food I've ever had in the states!! Must-have: Thai tea Crying rib eye Roti bread with green curry Panang short ribs Amazing food. Everyone was quiet eating because it's so delicious

Tom yum, pork skewers w/ sticky rice, chive dumplings, coconut custard

Katherine V.

I will start off by saying I usually hate thai food. I have nothing against it, I just don't like that most dishes are super sweet or super spicy or super oily. But everyone I hang with seems to love thai food so I'm always willing to try it again until I find what I like. Well y'all, I found it. I live no where near crying thaiger but I will drive here if I crave it. Food - the chive dumplings and bbq pork skewers (with the sticky rice, ALWAYS add the sticky rice!) are a great "appa-tease" to get your stomach growling. Heck, I'd eat the pork skewers and sticky rice by itself as a meal -and not share- it . Tom yum soup with some rice noodles is usually my go to since I usually can't find thai food I like. Their Tom yum is no joke. I took one sip and had to drink some water to cool down the spicy burn. But also my fault for not mixing the soup before sipping. Nice and spicy, not sweet, sour but not too sour, got a depth of flavor to it, and seasons the rice noodles I dipped into it very well! My sister got the kra pow with minced chicken. She said it was well seasoned and really good. Our friend got prik pow(?) Sautéed chicken with veggies tossed in a chili sauce - looked delicious too! I'd say flavor and quality is certainly a strength at this place. Service was a little slow. We ordered takeout and it was estimated to be 30 min. We came about 45 min in and still had to wait for a solid 10 min to get the order. I will say though, the food was piping hot when we got home. The house was packed but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Atmosphere had a very homey feel. Thai knick knacks on a shelf split the room in to to provide more intimate feel. Was very clean and organized. Only downside to this location is parking is tough so takeout might be my thing!

Great little Thai spot in Malden. It's not your standard Thai shop. It has some unique items both on the food and drink menus. Since it was lunch I didn't indulge in the sauce but I made up for it with my stomach. We started with the crying wings and the crispy chive cake. The crying wing seasoning was interesting, a little salty spicy and a dry citrus tang. The crispy chive cake was similar to a scallion pancake batter but with chives cut into cubes and fried so every bite has a nice crunch but it's moist on the inside. I don't care for pad Thai because I'm often disappointed, but it was so good wifey was considering ordering one to go for dinner later! A good size restaurant, so getting a table wasn't an issue. If you can't find street parking, there is a parking lot across the street behind the old dockside, maybe Floramo's? Behind there look for the 1 or 2 hour parking signs.

This was our first time trying this restaurant after seeing it pop up on my Yelp timeline, and I really enjoyed the food. The prices were really reasonable, so we tried multiple dishes and most didn't disappoint. There were many gluten free options, and I really appreciate that GF options and other dietary restrictions were clearly marked when ordering online and it was clear what foods could be modified for allergies. I really appreciate that effort, and that's one reason I will definitely visit again. The duck skewers was really good and my favorite was the pineapple fried rice, which was so good. The added duck and pork were really good too- there was lots of meat in the rice and pad Thai.The wings were good, we just wished they were a bit bigger. The pad Thai was good, but it was my least favorite dish. Overall, I really enjoyed this restaurant and can't wait to go back.

I've never had bad food here, including that one time I ordered a garlic (?!) dessert. My favorite is the crab paste omelette, but the chicken thigh stew on the fall menu is incredible as well. Plenty of sausage in the clay-baked rice and meat on the noodle dishes, as well. Try something you don't recognize, if you're unsure. It's going to be great! read more

I was so happy to visit Crying Thaiger! The design is clean and slick. A very modern space, the menu is very well designed, the food is some of the tastiest thai cuisine in the region - I've dined at more than 60 thai restaurants in MA as well as dozens of food stalls and restaurants in Thailand. I don't think I've ever had a bad Thai restaurant experience, but this is one of the most memorable! Order the namesake Crying Thaiger and Crying Thaiger curry. read more

I eat Thai probably too much to admit. Mostly in Boston but also NYC. This was some of the best I've had. I ordered through uber eats and just wanted to try something new. I typically wouldn't think something outside the city could compete with the classic Boston staples like House of Siam etc. I was dead wrong! And now that I live in Charlestown I will absolutely be changing this to my go to Thai. I had the crab shumai, shrimp pad cee u and minced chicken krapow. All were tasty, great texture and clearly fresh. The noodles were soft and had that great charred flavor, the krapow was super basil flavored with a hot heat but not way too much (I like it hotter than most) and the crab shumai (something I never order because most places they suck) was unexpectedly ridiculously good. Definitely a 5 star delivery... I'll order again and agin, can't wait to try more items and visit in person. read more

My significant other and I had our first dinner experience here at Crying Thaiger located in downtown Malden. To start, the ambience came as a good surprise. Very modern, yet sticks to the traditional Thai vibes. Service was quick and our server was kind. Our overall meal and experience was superb! My significant other ordered the Crying Thaiger curry special with chicken and it was absolutely delicious. The meal stuck to its traditional Thai roots. Very rich in flavor, and mild spice. I ordered the Tom Yum Pad Thai with tofu (something very untraditional but was unique so I thought I'd try it). It was uniquely tasty. My only complaint was the tofu since it was rather dry and it was fried. I was expecting soft tofu. But nonetheless, the overall dish was packed with flavor, mildly spicy which I love, and a good size portion. We recommend this place and will definitely be back again. read more

I was so excited for this place to open. Thai is my favorite type of food and there is none around us until now! We stopped in one late night and the food came out so quickly and was very yummy. In my mind this was my new go to place. A week or so after I ordered take out and ordered two of the same things and some chicken and beef, and ALMOST everything was wrong. The gave me the wrong entrée so I had to wait for it to be made then the wrong appetizer came out with it so they had to remake that as after the fact so the take out that they told me to pick up in 20 minutes took another extra 20 minutes when I got there. I was already a little aggravated because of that then to find out that the entrée I that I had to wait for them to make tasted nothing like it did the first time we had it in the restaurant. although I still believe their food is good I don't think it will be my go to place like I originally thought. read more

History

Established in 2017.

Legends of Crying Tiger (Suea-Rong-Hai) "Crying Tiger" is the name of an exquisite Thai style grilled tender beef brisket with Jaew sauce (spicy, savory, tangy, aromatic, pungent sauce. Full of textures with flakes of dried chili and nubby bits of ground toasted rice. The dish originated from the rural northeastern part of Thailand (E-Sarn) and later became very popular all over the country. There are several legends of how the dish got its name. One legend said a hungry tiger came out of the jungle and stole one of the villagers' cow. The tiger ate most parts of the cow and felt so full that it almost couldn't eat anymore, left only the brisket. The tiger then tried to eat the brisket, it suddenly felt that this was an extraordinary part of meat which was tender and juicy, but it was too full to finish the meat. Then the tiger felt frustrated, sad, and started to cry. 114 Ferry st Malden MA 02148 Call 781-480-1243

Refreshing, but with so many cocktails on the menu, I'd likely try something else next time. Before getting into the food, I will say I really appreciated the display of the food and the little touches that made it feel like an elevated dining experience. For instance, the khao soy curry comes in a teapot that you pour over your noodles and chicken, and the A5 wagyu is flamed at the table so you can determine your preference level. The khao soy was delicious with a creamy broth that was flavorful and hearty. The sous vide chicken also made the dish feel a bit more healthy than usual khao soy. There were a good portion of noodles that were firm enough to be enjoyed despite all the broth. My only caveat is that this is a pretty spicy dish and even when I asked for mild it still had a kick to it. Delicious but spicy so I ordered a side of rice but overall it's so delicious that I'd still order it again. My husband's rice was also really flavorful and well balanced between the meat and the rice. Each bite felt like a nice combination of the two elements. The servers were also friendly and while it could be hard to get someone to come by at times, we were also there during peak dinner hours. This place gets pretty busy and often has groups so I highly recommend making a reservation. Even for just two diners I made a reservation and was glad I did. The restaurant heavily leans into the tiger theme which is also fun to see the different elements of it from decor to the staff's attire. I cant wait to come back and try more items from the menu.

He loved the flavor of the beef and thought it was a good portion. I would recommend Zuru Zuru.

The dish could've used some type of sauce other than the sour cream though, texturally it was quite dry. The Savory Meat Pie was decent and a great size for the price. The Adjika Hot Sauce (only a hint of spice) definitely was needed for it. Unfortunately, the Pie wasn't heated fully through. The Compot Fruit Punch was perfectly sweet and fruity. Note that BingeBowl and Bikeeny Caffe are in the same establishment

The drinks were great and beautifully decorated! That was a PLUS! Other than that, the food was okay. Nothing really special. They dress everything up really nice and make it photo worthy.

Crying Thaiger Rustic Thai Kitchen is a cozy Thai restaurant that focuses on bold, authentic flavors with a menu that goes beyond the usual takeout staples. We walked into a dining room that was on the smaller side, giving it a more intimate and casual atmosphere, the kind of place where the focus stays on the food rather than elaborate decor. The menu offered a mix of familiar Thai favorites alongside house specialties that were harder to find elsewhere, and the steady flow of customers reflected its reputation as a spot that puts most of its attention into the cooking. The dishes were the highlight of our visit. Everything tasted freshly prepared with well-balanced flavors, and the menu offered plenty of variety depending on whether we wanted noodles, curry, grilled meats, or appetizers to share. The curries were especially rich and flavorful, with a depth that came through clearly, while the noodle dishes had a good balance of seasoning without feeling overly heavy. There were also several house specialties that helped set the restaurant apart from a typical neighborhood Thai spot. We appreciated that the portions were generous for the price, making it easy to order a few dishes to share, and the variety made it worthwhile to try more than just one entrée. The Thai iced tea paired well with the meal and was a refreshing contrast to some of the spicier dishes. The service was friendly throughout our visit, and the food came out at a reasonable pace. Since the restaurant is fairly small, it could feel a little crowded during busy meal times, and there may be a wait depending on when you visit. It is worth planning around peak hours if you prefer a quieter dining experience. The staff handled the flow efficiently, and the pacing of the meal stayed comfortable even as the dining room filled up. Overall, Crying Thaiger Rustic Thai Kitchen is a great choice for flavorful Thai food with generous portions and a menu that offers more than the standard classics. Between the quality of the food, reasonable prices, and welcoming atmosphere, it is a place we would happily return to whenever we are craving Thai cuisine. read more

This spot is a solid choice for satisfying your Thai food cravings, but in my opinion, apart from their steak and jiew sauce, there's nothing particularly remarkable about it. I've sampled most of their dishes now, and while they're decent, none of them truly stand out. However, their steak is a highlight--it's cooked to a perfect medium rare and incredibly tender. What really keeps me coming back, though, is their dipping sauce for the meats--it's a burst of sweet, salty, and savory flavors, with a refreshing hint of herbs. On the downside, the wait times here can be a bit of a drawback. Personally, I don't think it's worth waiting 45 minutes to an hour for a table. read more

Crying Thaiger delivered a great overall experience. The food was flavorful, fresh, and well-balanced, with spice levels that actually matched what we ordered. The portions were generous, and the presentation was impressive. Service was friendly and efficient, though the wait was a bit longer than expected during a busy time. Still, the quality made it worth it. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, and everything tasted thoughtfully prepared. I'd definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for delicious Thai dishes with bold flavors. read more

Worst green curry I ever had，it is not creamy AT ALL and tasteless in terms of green curry. It tasted like a lot water with a dip of green curry. I thought I would order the most traditional dish to give this fairly new restaurant a try. Below standard is a over compliment because it is unbelievable this kind of curry could be presented at a Thai restaurant. I always love Thai and rarely a curry dish would disappoint you at a Thai restaurant. I was simply blew away, and this is a signal that I don't need to return for any other dish. read more

great new spot in town! nice ambiance & quick. the food was really good my only complaint is the tofu was too "airy" as if you bite down into a hollow tofu. Also would be nice if they offered a spicy option for phat si-io. I did not eat inside, but picked mine up tp go and the girl who took payment and gave me my order was one of the most friendliest people!! read more

Awesome stuff. We got the crispy pork kraw pow and red curry duck. The pork was so crispy but also slightly dry on the bottom as a result. That didn't hinder the flavor and taste though. The red curry duck was awesome. Good amount of duck. Sweet, savory, rich, spicy, umami. Will be back soon (tomorrow?) read more
