Crying Thaiger Rustic Thai Kitchen

The food here is SO GOOD!!! Honestly some of the best Thai food I’ve had in a while. Service was quick and very friendly, with a cute atmosphere with it.

I've eaten in the restaurant with my parents when they were visiting and the experience was great.

Ordered take out this time around. This time I had the Crispy Pad Thai, steamed shrimp shumai, and steamed vege dumplings.

The only improvement I would suggest for take out is to have the crispy wontons in a separate container so they don't get soggy which was the case for me.

Also by the time I arrived to pick up and got my to my apt (9 min walk) my food was room temperature.

I'll still visit again, but I would rethink what I would order for take out.

I have to say the green curry definitely hit the spot! The spices were perfect and the lunch special was affordable and delicious with a little spring roll.
I’m not a great judge of the atmosphere because I was on an unfortunate second date with a guy from Tinder. The first coffee date went well enough. This time was different, first he challenged me to fit my car into a tiny parking spot and it was annoying. Then he told me to be present while I was pleasantly talking. *Next he got involved in the conversation of the women at the table beside us, he advised them that there was a lot of peanut oil used in the kitchen and that if either of them had a peanut allergy they should avoid pretty much anything. Neither of them was allergic to peanuts but he thought he had overheard them talking about their allergies.

He tried to get me to go to a “ local park” to give me a bachata lesson because he said he was a master. It was like 45 degrees out and we were in the middle of a very industrial part of Malden. I declined politely. He tried to kiss me on the mouth more than one time as he long hugged me while saying goodbye. Ten minutes later he texted me and said that he didn’t feel like the romance was there.

I’d go back alone and get the green curry anyday.

Reccomended this place by a friend. Tried the tom ka soup, pad see ew with chicken katsu, and shared a pot of thai tea. Every bite was as tasty as the last. Me and my partner enjoyed our meal and got stuffed, total came out to only ~$40, which was a great deal. This is my new favorite thai food in the Boston area, will definitely be coming back!

Crying Thaiger in Malden is an absolute gem! The food is super tasty — full of flavor, spice, and all the good stuff you’d expect from a great Thai spot. The Thaiger Curry is a total must-try — rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced. They’ve also got some really nice packaged drink options, which pair perfectly with the spicy dishes.

If you’re vegetarian, you’ll love this place even more. There are tons of amazing veggie options, and they don’t feel like an afterthought — every dish tastes fresh and thoughtfully made. The vibe is casual and friendly, making it an easy spot for a chill lunch or dinner. Definitely a go-to if you’re craving bold Thai flavors!

I’ve ordered from here many times and it’s been delicious. I’ve had the yellow curry, pad thai, pad see ew, dumplings and crab Rangoon. Always a hit and so flavorful.

Last night I ordered and I was quite disappointed. The pad see ew noodles were terribly overcooked and all broken. Not a whole noodle in sight. I saw another review mentioned this and I wanted to second this if only so the restaurant takes note. It’s a delicious dish but with the noodles broken into tiny pieces it wasn’t an enjoyable meal.

Usually I’d rate it 5 stars and hope to update.

Sometimes is gets busy at lunch time and they can take up to 30min to serve your food keep that on mind.
