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!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“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 !!”
