The only negative thing about this fantastic buffet was their subjective pricing. As other…read morereviewers mentioned they sometimes change you more per pound (if you're paying per pound) if you have "more meat than buffet items." I tried to balance out my plate to be half and half and scored the 14.49 rate but if the staff thought I had too much meat I would have paid 19.99 per pound instead. lol. Otherwise I was a fan, the meat was tender juicy and flavorful (especially the steak) and the buffet items were really good as well (polenta and fried plantains were standouts) The wait staff were just okay, my waitress was just standing near the front and I tried to get her eye contact but that didn't work so when the manager came by to check on me (she didn't) I asked him if he could send her to pay. Overall a decent experience but because of their pricing model I won't likely come again.

This place was packed on Sunday around 2pm, seems like it's the go-to spot for post Church lunch…read more Honestly, it was giving chaos. It was our first time and we just got in line, luckily, someone let us know we had to go up and leave our name with the guy holding the tablet ; there were no directions/signs or staff to direct. Despite the crowd, we were seated in about 20ish minutes. We did the per pound option instead of AYCE and that's what most folks were doing. Service, once we were seated, was attentive, food was good. They could have done a better job at keeping the buffet options stalked, they were out of 3 options. This is definitely a more casual place, no frills and closer to an everyday Brazilian churrascaria. Overall, it was fine, if I were in the neighborhood and looking for a bite, I would stop in again.

I selected the $30 all you can eat, and man oh man was that bulgoggi marinade delicious!! Not only the meats, but so were the side dishes/entrees that were a GREAT thing to have alongside and honestly a great bang for your buck! Yes, it's not IN Boston, but trust me, it's worth that uber ride or T ride!!

It's a buffet style with attentive wait staff making sure you have all you need. The food is good and fresh. We tried everything on the regular buffet. We did not do the premium or the additional hot pot. (It's not Michelin Star food for clarity) The ambiance of the place is dated and could use an update but why do it when the place is packed and people are full and happy. Would return for my one time a year buffet expedition.

Galbi itself was pretty good, a touch chewy, decent flavor but not worth the extra cost in my opinion. Banchan was alright, the kimchi was very liquidy and spattered on my shirt and was on the extra sour side. Service was fast and polite and the space was clean. Would return for more dolsot in the future.

I liked that the restaurant gave side dishes- some places don't automatically give you them. There was a decent amount of seafood in the broth, and I liked the spice level. My main complaint is that I felt there should be more sauce for the jjajangmyeon, as the noodles were barely covered after we mixed it. Overall, this is a solid place with a lot of different options. It's a casual spot with a lot of people ordering takeout, and the workers are very friendly as well. I would definitely come back!

I would only suggest this restaurant to someone that has been to a Korean, cook yourself place, and…read morereally enjoys the experience. I would caution anyone that is uncertain or unfamiliar. I would tell anyone that doesn't like incredibly fatty meat, or that likes their food cooked beyond medium rare to dine elsewhere. The hostess was friendly, we told her we had never been to the restaurant before, she quickly walked us thru the menu. Our waiter came by, we told him we had never been there before. We ordered various dishes, and plates of meat were dropped off. No explanation whatsoever. As he turned to leave, I said again, we'd never been there before. No insight into how best/long to cook anything. Every meat dish was incredibly fatty, like, 2/3rds fat. I placed meat on the grill, it cooked very slowly. I asked him to turn up the temperature as we liked our meats cooked well, so he turned the heat up. At one point he said he was going to swap out the grill-pan, and turned the heat down, while meats were still cooking. This was incredibly frustrating, I felt like food was taking forever to cook, and the longer I sat there staring at the meat, the more annoyed I got. It was all you can eat. We didn't finish our first order of 5 dishes we were so annoyed. It was not worth the money, it was an unejoyable experience. I've only been to a few self-cook Korean restaurants previously, and generally liked them. I think the staff needs to be more aware when someone asks for guidance, that they should try to be more engaged. I left angry, and still hungry.

Came here on a weekend evening and we were pretty lucky that there weren't many other people here -…read morethere was no wait and we were seated quickly. Our server said the place was usually pretty busy and hectic so we definitely were fortunate it wasn't like that when we went. I liked the little bar to grab side dishes - as an AYCE spot, having the ability to get sauces and things like lettuce and bonchon yourself was very nice. The food itself was all right - not the best meat ever, but good for the price and restaurant. The other dishes like the pancake and bibimbop were solid as well - no complaints! We finished the meal off with ice cream as well which you just grab from a mini fridge on the side. Our server was super friendly and nice, she made the experience pleasant and was very attentive. Overall, we had a good time here - the food quality could be better, but for a buffet, it was solid. I wouldn't mind coming back in the future for another AYCE KBBQ experience!

I will generally ask them to not chop up the meat for me. It's convenient and they do it very quickly, but my boyfriend is not a fan of the shards of bone co-mingling with the meat. I will warn you that cutting it up at home will result in a HUGE mess because these birds are fatty, but it's worth it to me to carefully debone the meat. There's a bit of a language barrier but that doesn't stop me from asking for extra ginger scallion oil. Ask for it. They will give you one sauce. It's really good and we're not Chinese and they don't understand that we can't get enough of it. The soy sauce is also good. There is a bakery here but I've only ever gotten the meat. It is a typical Chinese cafe. Basic. No frills. Nothing fancy. The food just kind of speaks for itself. This is a To-go place. I think every time I've been here, there's been little or no wait.

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. For your money, you get full and the foods good.

They have two sister restaurants, Thaiger Den & Phat Thaiger, & are all in the same area in Malden. We were able to get a table without reservations & no wait time. Service was very good; quick & efficient. What we ordered: -Thai Iced Green Milk Tea -Thai Iced Tea -Nampla wings -BBQ Pork Skewers -Chicken Laarb -Red Curry w/ Salmon (requested extra spicy) -Basil Fried Rice w/ Chicken The food is so good! I highly recommend this place if you like spicy. I requested for extra spicy for the red curry with salmon & I was pleasantly surprised that it tasted actually spicy! Many Thai spots I've gone to tend to not deliver the level of spicy I'm looking for, so I'm happy I was able to get it here. Salmon was cooked perfectly & the curry was delicious. We loved the basil fried rice with chicken also. Flavorful & had a nice kick. Chicken was not dry either! The chicken laarb was addictive to eat. It had the right amount of citrus & spice. Generous portion too! Nampla wings reminded me of nuoc mam/Vietnamese fish sauce wings. I personally found the wings to be a bit dry but the sauce it came with really helped. Good flavor though. Lastly, both the Green iced Thai tea & regular iced Thai tea were solid. Not the best but still good. I'm a big fan of Green iced Thai tea & not many places offer this. I always make sure to order it wherever and whenever I can find it! Overall, I'm so glad we were able to stop in for dinner at the Crying Thaiger. Their food is tasty & I recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys yummy Thai food & likes spicy! I would definitely come back again ;) Parking: street parking
