I recommend going during their "Happy hour" times that is $19.99/pp as its much more worth it for that price. THE UNLIMITED PASSIONFRUIT GREEN TEA IS THE BEST PART! :) We tried all their meats on the menu and it's pretty decent quality, some of the chicken/pork with marinade is a little mushy in hot pot, but overall was good especially their sliced meats. The self serve vegetables/noodles/seafood was actually one of the best parts!! They have so many options- from bok choy to ramen noodles to shrimp to every fish cake ever, it was such a wide range of sides that is enough for practically anyone. They also have fresh rice in a rice cooker and some hot sides like spring rolls and these delicious red bean sesame balls. They're all fresh, and stored in the right temps. I loved having the unlimited soft drinks and passfruit green tea. It was such a great vibe inside and everyone was chatting away. Parking is easier along the side roads, don't waste your time on the main road. Definitely will be back or visiting one of their other locations as well.

Top line summary: food was good but service was average, particularly the hostess…read more Went with my family on a very cold afternoon 10 minutes before happy hour lunch ended and the hostess was not very welcoming. We were eventually seated and then they intentionally waited until "two minutes after 5pm" to take our order and happy hour was no longer available. Not that big of deal, but very annoying. We also had to flag people down for help as they weren't coming by on their own. Thankfully the food was good and we had a decent meal after that.

He got the manager and the manager said don't get the spicy it's too spicy. We didn't listen. They ended up convincing us to get half not spicy broth by then making us custom egg drop soup in the not spicy broth. Thank God they did that because that broth was the most spicy broth I have ever had in my entire life. They knew. I loved it but could barely take it. My friend ended up in tears and they gave her free milk. We should have listened when they said it's really spicy and I thought that was what I was looking for but this was on another level. Everything about this place is incredible and authentic the waiters are so nice but do not come here if you don't have a high spice tolerance.

I selected fungus and hot so they served it as one broth. I would request a table in the future. I ordered the lamb with bean sprouts and mushrooms and combined them in the hot pot. There is a condiment bar where they have the different components such as Mali, sesame oils broken out so I knew exactly what I was adding. Each table has it's own hot pot with them segmented so it is possible to have more than I type of broth Or parkour by was in the street.

Overall: $25 for AYCE hotpot (no meat included) is a great deal for someone who doesn't indulge too…read moreheavily in meat. Food: they have the entire array of what you would want in hot pot. Cabbage, watercress, bok choy, and more for green vegetables. For mushrooms you can have enoki or king oyster. They have kabocha and even taro. They have a ton of noodle options such as udon, vermicelli, instant ramen, knife cut noodles, etc. They have an assortment of fish balls as well from fish tofu to roe filled fish balls. The options alone are enough to pleasantly surprise me but the quality is not some bottom of the barrel establishment. The food here is well worth your time and I must recommend you come! Oh and please don't forget your ice cream on the way out. Matcha and Vanilla ice cream is a must have here. Ambience/Decor/Service: this place is perpetually packed even at 530 pm on a weekday. They're incredibly quick with refilling things as well as busing your table of plates.

The bathroom is in the kitchen so it's a little awkward going through there. They have many different options of soup with rice and noodle options. Next time I definitely want to try there spicy grilled fish, maybe with a large group. We got the large Sauerkraut Fish and it was huge. We asked her how large it was and she made it seem much smaller but it is definitely a family sized bowl. It was filled with a great proportion of fish and vegetable and came 2 bowls of rice. Sauerkraut fish is a personally favorite so this did not disappoint at all. We also ordered the Tomato Sauce Noodle, the meat in this was a little over cooked and the soup was a little more sweet than my liking. I did find the combination of both soups was really good though. Overall would recommend giving this place a try if your a soup lover.

Very much like their other locations but more casual style. Seated right away on a Monday night…read more Staff was friendly and your food is brought out fast. 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
