Restaurants in Malden

“I recently hosted a birthday party at Idle Hands and it was so awesome! It was super easy to schedule the rental and plan the event with Darren. The Idle Hands team was great during the event - they made everything run smoothly and made it look easy. Everyone had a wonderful time 🙂 thank you!!”

“Great selection of products, very nice staff.”

“Thaiger Den in Malden is a great spot for Thai cuisine! The restaurant is warm and inviting, with welcoming staff who make you feel right at home. The staff are constantly checking in on you and making sure your water is always topped off. The decor is stunning—modern, sleek, with gold accents that give it a touch of luxury. Even the bathroom is pristine, with fancy toilets, automated trash cans, soap dispensers, and even high-end toilet paper—it’s clear they pay attention to every detail! The food was amazing. We tried the hot stone wagyu dish, the Khao Soi, the tiger shrimp pad thai, and the ribeye in curry. Every dish was bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The only slight drawback was the timing, as three dishes came out together and the last arrived about 10 minutes later, but the quality more than made up for it. The cocktails were a highlight—creative, strong, and perfectly crafted. The vibe in the restaurant is fantastic, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend checking Thaiger Den out—you won’t be disappointed!”

“Really good flavors. I tried the mushroom lobi bowl as my main course and also some of the appetizers and desserts. This is primarily a quick-serve take out restaurant, but they do have a handful of tables inside. They also serve breakfast too under another name. I tried their fruit compote (juice) which is house made with real fruit and it was delicious. Owner was the only one working and he was very nice.”

“This restaurant was amazing! Hidden gem for sure. Parking was limited. But the surrounding area has plenty. Reservations is recommended. Food is authentic and the atmosphere felt like I was in Japan. A large variety at the bar and the food was great. I highly recommend. In the evenings, a nice spot for dates for sure.”

“First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.”

“My absolute favorite coffee shop. Everything here is exceptional from the coffee and food to the service. Bikeeny is a must try if your looking for a new coffee shop!”

“So this place is wonderful. Our server Dawn F. was the best sweetest dinner lady every. Man could she make us laugh. other then wonderful service the good was great. Perfect portions, taste and price. We definitely will be coming back.”

“Crush is a local gem. A humble location in the heart of Maplewood Square in Malden is providing top notch customer service, but even higher organic and fresh concoctions thoughtfully bottled. Erica is fantastic! She offers experienced insight, listens to customer needs, and genuinely wants to collaborate—whether you have specific requests or you’re like me and want to create something completely new from scratch, she’s exactly the person you want guiding that process.

If you’re in the area and looking for something refreshing, clean, and made with purpose, this is the spot. Extremely recommended.”

“Have never had bad food tried something new today. Delicious.”

“I went to the pizzeria after a long day in Malden. Right as you walked in the door you could tell they had good quality food. There were about five tables for people to sit at. Each one has at least four seats. The table and seats were clean and there was no food or leftover crumbs on the table. The staff were nice and the food got to us in less than ten minutes. I got the ziti meatballs, and they were really good. I also got a small plate of fries to go with it. The food was delicious and I definitely recommend going there if you are floating around Malden.”

“I would leave 5 stars but they need to up their speed in this Malden location. The Everett one is fast and efficient but Malden location is slower in serving take out food and making the food ready to go when you call ahead. The food is really good though, hands down delicious compared to most “Mexican” places. They may need to play tv or music for a better atmosphere too to eat in”

Price level is great compare to all other restaurant near by. Yunnan noddles I love it all the time that's their specialty. It also a very healthy option for family. Yunnan rice noddle is their speciality not ramen nor curry rice. We love most of their appetizers. Their menu also expanding and the steaming bun dumplings are better than the dim sum restaurant.
