    Dongbei braised spare ribs
    Della S.

    I came here based on a recommendation from someone who grew up in Northeastern China. Although I've never had much Northeastern Chinese food myself, I was curious to try the various dishes they have to offer! 4 of us split the house-style liangpi ($13.95), paradise garden ($15.95), Dongbei braised spare ribs ($17.95), braised eggplant with fried pork ($16.95), foil beef ($17.95), and a large bowl of rice ($7.25). I highly recommend trying the above selection of dishes if you've never had Northeastern Chinese food before, because each of those dishes had their own unique flavor and texture profile. The liangpi had a tangy, nutty sesame sauce which was cold and refreshing with the chewy noodles. The noodles came with lots of sliced cucumber which added to the freshness of the dish. I couldn't stop eating it! The paradise garden was unlike anything I've had before-- a mixture of fresh, thinly sliced vegetables, shrimp, and tripe came swimming in a dark-colored cold broth that wasn't heavily salted. Each component in the dish was fresh but I can't say I was the biggest fan of this one, mostly because I was unfamiliar with the dish and didn't know what to expect. The Dongbei braised spare ribs were so tender that they fell off the bone. The meat was extremely flavorful and had a good balance between leaner and fattier bits. The braised eggplant with fried pork had a Chinese American vibe to it because there was so much breading and a sweet-and-sour sauce. The eggplant was super tender, although I barely tasted any pork in the dish. The foil beef was soft, tender, and had a pleasant peppery flavor to it! The beef was swimming in a delicious sauce that paired perfectly with rice. Overall, I was very impressed by the various ways they've prepared meat. I would definitely come back for the liangpi and to try their other dishes!

    Very interesting interior decor that will make you feel like you are in commercial mainland china. The diverse food will give you that feeling as well! The dry pot and stews are good as well as the chicken skewers. I would avoid the squid skewers as they had a funky flavor.

    Great food. Decent service. The only place in the area where you'll find this type of food from this specific region in China.

    Hot Pot Skewers

    This place beings authentic northern Chinese cuisine to Malden! I really enjoyed my meal here, although a bit pricey. We got the hot pot skewers (assorted but we had to have a min of 15 skewers), Mao's Braised Pork with Brown Sauce, and Beef Stew Noodle Soup. The flavors were definitely there - and I enjoyed it so much. Especially the Braised Pork! In my prior experience, I've almost always came across braised pork that was a bit too sweet, but the flavor here was perfect. Also have to note, when this place says "spicy", they definitely mean SPICY. But, spicy in an extremely flavorful, numbing way. The only thing I would say would be that the front desk service could be a bit better - we waited for a few minutes confused, wondering if we were supposed to sit ourselves because nobody was there until someone noticed us. But, our waiter was super friendly and helpful!

    Authentic Northeastern Chinese dishes! Although they changed their seating layout the last time I came by here and the menu was updated, Go Chi is still hitting strong with the indoor vibe! Walking distance from the Malden T station, depending on how lively and busy the place is on any given night, you may need to wait a bit but won't be disappointed with the dishes on seated and served. The Dongbei braised short ribs were gigantic and just falling off the bone and even though they give you plastic gloves, it's up to you if you wanna get down and dirty with the deliciousness. Something new was the baked pumpkin caked in salted egg yolk which was surprisingly addictive that you just might wanna order a second to go. This is a place you need to frequent more!

    Very easy going restaurant. The food is delicious and authentic. The set dish with rice is great for deal and a quick bite!

    Good portions of authentic food for a decent price! we got a clam foil, lamb skewers, and duck blood (i think), as well as the ribs and the cabbage soup. The service was a bit slow and the food took a while to came out, but it was a right amount of spice and extremely flavorful! Get the ribs and the sour cabbage soup. There are plenty of young mandarin people eating here when we went at 2pm on a Sunday. Highly recommend if you are ever in Malden!

    This place is great!! First time here tonight with friends who have been here many times and…read moreintroduced us to it. They don't take reservations and it's just walk ins so it can be a wait. Even though we were there by 6pm and put names down for a table the wait was like 45 minutes! Clearly they are very popular and for good reason - it's an ayce buffet with hot pot! So to pass the time, we went next door to Petco and wandered around looking at the animals, fish in aquariums and birds/ parrots. We were seated in a corner table in the back and it was completely packed - it's quite a large space and looks recently renovated good lighting and modern decor. The buffet itself is huge quite extensive with all kinds of veggies, greens, starchy vegetables, tofu, fish cakes, imitation crab, noodles, and also a sauce bar with a very large variety of sauces. I filled my plate up and got a couple bowls of sauces. I got the kimchi broth while the hubs got the pork bone broth. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! I ordered the chicken off the menu which was only $3 and the price of the buffet per person was $25 which is not bad at all for all the food there is. Oh and there is also a soft serve station with cones and vanilla and matcha flavors - hubs got a cone each! I tried the vanilla one it was great!! Best part there is free parking as it's a shopping complex. It was a bit tricky today as there a mountains of snow covering spaces, but we were able to find a spot! Overall a really great experience!! Will definitely be back!! Already looking forward to it!

    One of my go to spots for hot pot buffet plus they have a dedicated parking lot. They have so many…read moreveggie and frozen fish ball ingredients available that a lot of times I don't feel the need to order additional items. You can also order meat and seafood à la carte. The price has gone up to $24/person before tax and tip since before the pandemic but it's still a solid spot. The only downside is the wait especially during the colder months. I am not sure if it's easier to go with 2 or larger group since there was no wait for our large group of 10 back in September during prime lunch hour. Then 30 minute wait at 2pm on a Sunday. I always go for adding an egg. I enjoy the kimchi broth and have tried a few of the other ones. They also have an extensive sauce bar so you can really customize it to your liking. Their house made combos are also super tasty. The perfect way to end flavorful hot pot is with their soft serve ice cream flavor. To be honest for a better overall experience rather than overstuffing I would say Qiao Lin is best with a larger group of 6 to try more and options.

    Very much like their other locations but more casual style. Seated right away on a Monday night…read more Staff was friendly and your food is brought out fast. Thai ice tea - not overly sweet light and creamy after you mix it. Green Thai iced tea - more tea flavor shown thru this version i enjoyed this too! Larb chicken - amazing dish i really liked it, only comment would be maybe the minced protein toss some bigger diced chunks in too to soak up that cr*ck sauce! Basil chicken fried rice - spicy good flavor overall and chicken was plenty. I sort of was hoping they would have the signature like basil spice "glaze/sauce" they could do like other spots for basil dishes but they did not. It's good how it is though but if i was to get crispy chicken - def would need a sauce for my taste anyways. Red curry with salmon creamy extra spicy (you can choose spice level) salmon was cooked well in here and the flavor broth went so well soaked in the white rice! Bbq pork skewers - like your friends bbq where their folks went all out. Shoot perfect drinking food. Nampla chicken wings- really good fish sauce base wings! As a viet i love this style chicken wing. Glad we went with these over the fried batter version! Free shrimp crackers while you wait. Crying Tiger and their other sister shops all do well i feel. For your money, you get full and the foods good.

    I have been wanting to try Crying Thaiger for a minuteee now & I'm so glad we decided to go here…read morefor dinner! They have two sister restaurants, Thaiger Den & Phat Thaiger, & are all in the same area in Malden. We were able to get a table without reservations & no wait time. Service was very good; quick & efficient. What we ordered: -Thai Iced Green Milk Tea -Thai Iced Tea -Nampla wings -BBQ Pork Skewers -Chicken Laarb -Red Curry w/ Salmon (requested extra spicy) -Basil Fried Rice w/ Chicken The food is so good! I highly recommend this place if you like spicy. I requested for extra spicy for the red curry with salmon & I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted actually spicy! Many Thai spots I've gone to tend to not deliver the level of spicy I'm looking for, so I'm happy I was able to get it here. Salmon was cooked perfectly & the curry was delicious. We loved the basil fried rice with chicken also. Flavorful & had a nice kick. Chicken was not dry either! The chicken laarb was addictive to eat. It had the right amount of citrus & spice. Generous portion too! Nampla wings reminded me of nuoc mam/Vietnamese fish sauce wings. I personally found the wings to be a bit dry but the sauce it came with really helped. Good flavor though. Lastly, both the Green iced Thai tea & regular iced Thai tea were solid. Not the best but still good. I'm a big fan of Green iced Thai tea & not many places offer this. I always make sure to order it wherever and whenever I can find it! Overall, I'm so glad we were able to stop in for dinner at the Crying Thaiger. Their food is tasty & I recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys yummy Thai food & likes spicy! I would definitely come back again ;) Parking: street parking
