Restaurants in Malden

“Great selection of products, very nice staff.”

“On a beautiful fall Saturday, after a local hike in the woods, we rewarded ourselves with a couple of beers here at the brewery. The selection is great because it’s more than just IPAs; at least 4 Oktoberfest traditional brews that were traditional but also modern enough to appeal to everyone. IPAs and lagers rounded out the selections and the couple we tried were great. Low-key vibe with a mix of clientele so everyone felt welcome. College football was on but only a few paying attention; just as many browsing the book sale! Definitely a repeatable experience.”

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

“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!”

“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.”

“Hands down one of the best sushi in town!!!!

We ordered different dishes and every single one was amazing, can wait to go back with the family.

Thank you MR. Phat. Lol.”

“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.”

“We really love Aama Lama! Their momos are some of our favorites, the wrappers are great, the filling is so juicy, and the sauce is SO good. We also recently tried their new panipuri, and WOW it was amazing! The texture was so good, and the sauce was absolutely delightful. I’m literally craving it as I’m writing this review.

The thukpa is my go-to dish. It’s so comforting, and I especially love the Vietnamese twist with the banh canh noodles. It feels familiar and unique at the same time. My husband always goes for the chicken tikka masala, which is so aromatic and flavorful. And we can’t forget the Vietnamese coffee! The ube and pandan flavors are both so good.

I really appreciate that even though Aama Lama is a Nepalese restaurant, they incorporate Vietnamese flavors and influences into the menu. As Vietnamese people, we love that fusion and how naturally it comes through in the food. Everything feels thoughtful, comforting, and full of flavor!”

“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!”

“Very good! The Guac was so fresh and Delicious! Very nice staff! Great food all around!”

“Have been going to Crush for the past 2 years that I’ve lived in the area and honestly have never had a bad experience. I usually come for the smoothies and acai bowls which are phenomenal and made with fresh ingredients. I also love that you can pick your own toppings for the acai bowls and the amount of options they have to choose from.

The only other food item I’ve tried is the avocado toast which was fresh and flavorful. I’d love to try more of their food but for now I’m still hooked on the smoothies and acai bowls.

Not to mention, the customer service here is top tier. It’s usually the same woman working who I’d assume is the owner and she’s always super friendly with a smile on her face.

The space itself is pretty small with not much room for seating, so it’s definitely more of a takeout spot which isn’t a bad thing, just something to note.

Overall I am really happy to have a place like this in the area. It’s one of the few spots that offers fresh, whole ingredients without all the unnecessary additives. Hope this place stays around for a very long time.”

“My 100% go-to for hot pot. Sauce bar, all-you-can-eat, huge menu, and great service. What else can I say? You’ll be eating within five minutes of sitting down. Also, don’t forget the to-go ice cream if you eat in! Ibasaw checks all the boxes when it comes to hot pot.”

“Fresh, flavorful and excellent portion sizes. Staff is very helpful and friendly. So good!!! Ready fast, too.”

“Great new place in Malden!! Authentic flavors and very high quality ingredients. The meat especially was of really good quality- We got the beef tendon special which was a hit (VERY tender) and some other specials that were recommended. Moderate spicy was a little too hot for me so I will probably do Less spicy next time. It wasn’t a bad spicy though, the spice came from the fresh peppers and was tasty. Service was great, atmosphere was pleasant. Will def be coming back!”

“I was taken here today for a belated birthday late lunch by my dear friends. I have passed this restaurant a few times and it never caught my attention.
Boy have I missed a hidden gem. I had the smokehouse burger and the bread pudding for dessert. Both dishes were outstanding. I will be back!”

The service was outstanding, the atmosphere has changed a lot (same great vibes) which I love. Charlie is such a kind and caring human. He’s always been a love! Every experience I’ve ever had there has been great. Keep going guys.”

“The best steak bomb💣! Staff is friendly and they appreciate your business.”

“Today I was having a pretty off morning and I’ve been super exhausted, I walked into this restaurant today and I am there pretty often and the owner had told me I seemed pretty tired today which is true, she told me that she hopes I have a better day. I ordered my food and sat down and she comes out with something for me to try, now she didn’t have to do this but I truly appreciate it and she may not know it but that made my day better. Every time I go in there they show great hospitality and always treat their customers with respect and create a comfortable environment and also amazing food. I will always recommend this spot to all my friends & clients !!”

Anna-Marie J who gave this place a one star. - she very nutty in the head. - oh my Grubhub driver won't enter my house and leave the food on the table cause i was showering so i left a negative review. While telling the whole world that they shower and leave there front door unlocked .”

“spectacular!!! always a great time and food to die for. .and a great value for the not so richest guys... one in a million place!!!!!”

“I have been to many functions at Anthony’s, Albert is always on his A game. He gives back to the City of Malden like no one else. I have been involved in many sports organizations in Malden and can tell you first hand, he is a gem! I have also been to weddings, funerals, political functions land the food has always been excellent. On a side note the people of the city of Malden, will miss his son Craig on the Malden city council!”
