Highly recommend!

    I had been wanting to come here for some time, and glad I finally had the chance to! I ordered the Thaiger claw as a drink which is a mojito without mint. 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.

    Thaiger Den been in my list for so long, finally trying it now. Sous Vide Beef Tongue - I wish the cut is more bigger and/or bigger portion. Smoky and a rich beef flavor. My favorite dish. Grilled Portobello Mushroom - This dish was order as extra, nothing special. Wagyu Boat Noodle - The soup was savory but disappointed only wagyu beef, did not have the beef heel muscle and beef tendon as it described. The rice noodle just right, not overly cooked. Crab curry - Not really my favorite crab curry with small portion of crab. I keep comparing the crab curry that I had at Mahaniyom in Brookline.

    Had a family dinner here and we loved it! The food was amazing. Loved the tofu lettuce wraps and pork belly appetizers. I loved the truffle chicken with coconut rice.tender and flavorful. My family member all loved their main courses and specialty drinks. The decor is fun too, all in on the tiger theme!

    Thaiger Den is an upscale Thai restaurant. It has a fun, chic and modern atmosphere, and the service is absolutely impeccable. Without a reservation, the wait was about an hour on a Saturday night, but it was so worth it. The Thai tea was one of the best I've ever had not overly sweet and topped with a milk cold foam giving it a rich and creamy texture. The Massaman Pot Pie was both unique and comforting. The crust was crispy and flaky, and the beef and vegetables inside were savory and full of flavor. The steak Pad Thai took a bit longer to arrive but when it did, the steak, which we ordered medium rare was well done. Our server offered to replace it, but since my daughter was tired and hungry, we decided to keep it. As a kind gesture, they brought us a complimentary Thai Tea Panna Cotta for dessert. It was silky, lightly sweet, and the perfect ending to an outstanding meal. Highly recommend, just be sure to make a reservation ahead of time.

    Appetizers (10/10): I really appreciated the free appetizers! The crispy pasta was delicious. The fruit salad was also very refreshing. Beef Tongue (7/10): This dish was overshadowed by the other superstars we ordered, but it wasn't bad. The beef tongue itself was pretty boring, but the sauces made it come to life. Berkshire Pork Cheek (9/10): The pork cheek was delicious. The veggies were also equally good! I loved the cauliflower and asparagus. The sauce was really good, too. Golden Fried Pork Belly over Krapow Rice (10/10): The crispy pork belly is so good!!!! I loved the fried basil too. The rice has a nice kick to it. Khao Soi (9/10): We got this with flatiron steak, which was super good. Very, very tender. Noodles were great. Crispy parts were great. Curry was great. Highly recommend! Mango Sticky Rice (10/10): Mango was tender and sweet. Sticky rice was cooked perfectly. The ice cream and whipped cream also complemented the dish so well. We came on a Sunday night and it wasn't crowded at all. Service was very good. Prices are expensive, but I'd say it's worth it

    This restaurant is SO cute!!! They have an adorable waiting area and such a fun tiger theme. Our waitress was so helpful and kind. The dishes were really yummy, and even though I'm not a fan of spice, my friends who ordered spicy food said it was so good. The golden pork belly was sooo delicious although the dish was very salty overall. They also had plenty of Veg options. We ordered the fake calamari which were actually fried coconut chips. I also got to try the thai tea which had a fun foam on top. It was very aesthetically pleasing and tasted very sweet, which I love from thai tea.

    Thaiger Den has gotten glowing praise since opening, and I can validate now that it is worth all the praise and doting that it has been receiving. My only regret is that it took us so long to get there to try it out. The first difference between TDen and some of the other highly touted Thai restaurants is the location. It's a bit out of the bustle of Boston/Somerville/Cambridge, which can feel like it has been a bit forgotten by the critics and blogs. However, the richness of the decor and menu shows that it falls more into the neighborhood gem that is well worth the trip to experience what I've been told is a true and authentic Thai experience (never been, and not Thai myself). The next is there are a number of dishes that I have never seen on the Thai restaurants that I frequent, so there is a deeper offering of the various regional dishes offered throughout the country. But depth or number of offerings/dishes doesn't make somewhere great... your average TexMex place shows that. Everything here is perfectly executed without overuse of oil or seasoning that makes the dish inedible, which can be the case when dealing with a spicy cuisine like Thai can be. So you can have confidence when you order something from the menu it will be as described (spicy or not) and amazingly executed. All of this is all for naught if service is crap, but the service is amazing. It falls somewhere between smothering and average, as if the server knows exactly when you need something or to follow up. This is indeed an art vs. a science, and they have crafted experts in the field. TDen is an establishment that should remain to be added to your rotation or list of places to visit for all the reasons above, but there is also the point of the value proposition that makes it feel like a higher end eatery than the price point. If you are a fan of Thai cuisine, TDen must be experienced sooner rather than later.

    Steak pad thai

    I love this new spot in Malden! Although its an upscale restaurant, the food here is fairly priced for the quality and portion size. The dishes are family style and can be shared among multiple people. Every dish was very tasty and unique. The star of the show was definitely the RIBEYE STEAK. It comes out smoked and it was cooked a perfect medium rare. I love the seasoning on it and the sauce on the side goes so well with the steak and the veggies. The IRON STEAK PAD THAI was so flavorful and its a very good pad thai because it was not greasy and the sauce was evenly mixed into all the noodles. The PORK CHEEK was also a surprising favorite! It was so rich and smooth and I really enjoyed it. I think its my first time having pork cheek and it didn't disappoint! Overall, every item we tried was so so good. Everything came out at a good timing, beautifully presented, and very tasty. Great service, great ambiance, and a very casual but upscale restaurant. I will definitely come back for the ribeye steak!

    I'm a huge fan of Thai food, but I usually go for more casual spots that do takeout or quick lunches. This time, my friend and I decided to shake things up with more of an upscale Thai dinner. Overall, I was really impressed. The service was noticeably great (which is something I say about very few places in Boston) and the decor was fantastic. Food wise, I really enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. Everything had great flavor to it and the meat and vegetables were cooked nicely. I'd be happy to try out Crying Thaiger as well!

    Loved the decor, the service was great, and the food was good! So many dishes on the menu looked great, so I'll definitely be back to try more. Of all the things I ordered, my recommendation for others would be the Roasted Curry Flat Iron Steak...10/10! I've had more expensive steaks at steakhouses that weren't as tender and flavorful as that was. That dish is definitely something that can't be replicated at home.

    An amazing, elevated Thai dining experience! We made reservations online a week prior. The interior is well decorated and elegant compared to your everyday Thai restaurant. The servers were also great, recommending dishes and thoroughly explaining their extensive menu. We ordered the following dishes: -Roasted Tomato Relish (Nam Prik): Delicious and a great, crunchy starter. The tomato dip was nicely smoky and spicy. -Sous Vide Beef Tongue: So tender! Would highly recommend if you like beef tongue. -Roasted Curry with Flat Iron Steak: Very flavorful and deliciously paired with the accompanying berry rice. The steak itself is okay but the spinach curry is a show stopper. -Khao Soi with Beef Shank: Beautiful, al dente noodles complemented by a savory, coconuty broth. The beef shank is also a nice addition and very soft. -Steamed Branzino: Spicy and well seasoned but slightly overcooked. -Mango Sticky Rice: Loved the butterfly pea flower infused sticky rice. Mangos were ripe and the coconut ice cream was great. Parking was a little tough on a Sunday evening. There is plenty of street parking nearby but that area gets busy. We can't wait to return and try the other things on their menu!

    Took me a while to finally get the chance to come here! The vibes is the biggest seller of this spot- moody lights and cozy perfect for a date night or night out. We ordered many dishes for the table that some were better than others. The mains definitely impressed us more than the small plates/appetizers. Could skip on the wings and the sharing plate. Everything else was cool very well and super flavorful. It didn't blow us away but everything was cooked well and was tasty!

    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.

I ordered a clear soup ($7) to start that comes with tofu and veggies, and a house curry with vegan duck ($19). Both came out in about 5 minutes. The soup was forgettable, pretty bland, but at least veggies. The broth was extremely gentle, slightly garlicky but otherwise boring. The curry, however, was well-done. It came with broccoli, red and green pepper, and carrot, with plenty of vegan duck that had great texture. Not the most complex or decadent curry, but well done. Very friendly, hospitable and accommodating stuff. Very good spot for vegan-friendly Thai in Malden.

They served me the platinum options first and then provided the gold menu. I enjoyed trying a handful of option on theur menu that I don't think I would have if I was doing a la carte. Like their freshwater seaweed salad (which was a bit underwhelming) and their eel toast (which was pretty good) and their crispy tuna (also a bit mid). I also went for their Thai green tea which I felt was too floral to be enjoyable. So while I enjoyed trying new options I don't think I loved any of them. I also have to say their sashimi and nigiri options are not buffet sized but actual entree sized so be cautious when ordering. That being said the waitresses were attentive and I never felt rushed. However, something to flag is they calculate the total of everything you are during the buffet and not the buffet price and base gratuity on that. I didn't look before tipping and after I left I was quite confused on why the bill was higher than I expected.

You are limited to 4 items from that tier per person, so it's not unlimited but you will still get your $$ worth. The diamond tier can you get 1 more item but seems a little overkill. Service and vibe is still amazing. Appetizers are tasty. Fish is fresh. Sashimi slices are just a bit thick. You order the platinum plus items with the server and the rest is through the online portal. The one thing you have to understand is that the food portions are not designed to be AYCE. They are full size orders! There is a time limit but do not make the mistake of over ordering with your eyes if you feel pressured.

The interior is decorated nicely, it's clean and the wait staff were professional and friendly. My main comment is that the food was extremely OK. I wasn't offended, but for some reason the pineapple fried rice was not seasoned much, the drunken noodle (probably the best dish of the night) was decently good albeit a little too spicy, and the shumai appetizer was almost there, but not quite. It was a bit of a let down overall as it has so much potential to be a really great spot. With Dakzen, Sugar & Spice and other Thai places nearby Blue Elephant needs to step it up a little then it'll be great.
