Just wanted to give an update on their newest AYCE menu (Wed & Thurs). There are 3 tiers from gold, plat, diamond. Uni and wagyu are on the plat tier and that's what we went with. You are limited to 4 items from that tier per person, so it's not unlimited but you will still get your $$ worth. The diamond tier can you get 1 more item but seems a little overkill. Service and vibe is still amazing. Appetizers are tasty. Fish is fresh. Sashimi slices are just a bit thick. You order the platinum plus items with the server and the rest is through the online portal. The one thing you have to understand is that the food portions are not designed to be AYCE. They are full size orders! There is a time limit but do not make the mistake of over ordering with your eyes if you feel pressured. read more

Good food. Cool vibe and ambiance. I liked the Japanese Kirin draft. Best yakitori was the thigh. Steak over rice was awesome and tender. Chicken katsu was ok. Wings were great and crispy. read more

I've been here for both lunch and dinner, and honestly the lunch specials are the best value. The portions and variety you get for the price are hard to beat. If you're looking for a solid weekday lunch spot, this is definitely worth a visit. For non-alcoholic drinks, the coconut matcha clouds is a must order. Super refreshing from the coconut juice with a nice creamy matcha foam on top. Really well balanced and not overly sweet. We ordered several dishes to share: Baked scallops with tom yum sauce - usually one of my favorites, but this version had too much cheese, which overpowered the flavor of the dish. Uni&wagyu toast: perfect bite if you love both Wagyu and uni! Monkfish liver - creamy, rich, and surprisingly clean tasting with no fishiness. Also reasonably priced. Picanha fried rice - the standout dish and the reason I keep coming back. Easily one of the best fried rice dishes I've had. The meat was perfectly cooked and paired beautifully with the rice. Torched salmon roll - tasty overall, but quite heavy, so good to share. Service is straightforward and efficient. Overall a great spot for catching up with friends or an easy date night. read more

No stranger to the Malden food scene, I was excited to finally try this place, though wasnt sure what to expect. While on the smaller scale, there is an eclectic feel to the decor that makes it homey and feel like a family restaurant. The crowd varies from families to couples to groups of friends, making it a place for everyone. The service is extremely friendly and attentive, and likely one of the reasons I'd come back. We wanted to order lemon chuhai but saw it wasnt on the menu - when we asked our waitress which drink would be the closest to this, she actually told us she'd have the bartender just make it for us with lemon instead. This is just one example of how friendly the staff is. In terms of food, while pricey I did find it to be worth the value. We ordered the Thai basil stir fry with chicken which was tender and had an array of flavors and textures. We also the wagyu rice as the meat was tender, and the egg added a nice flavor. Lastly we had the A5 miyazaki zabuton- this we were able to cook ourselves and felt worth the price tag. The flavor and quality of the meat were delicious. Overall this was a fun experience with excellent service. read more

If I went with my first experience, I'd probably not come back but now this is now the fifth time I have tried Phat Thaiger and I am glad I keep giving them a try. They have added more dishes since their grand opening. Each time I have visited, there seems to be something new on the menu. During out last visit, we had made reservations for Christmas Eve. When we asked about the 36 piece sashimi omakase, we were told that the fish the deboned fish pictured with the sashimi hanging over will not be served so we went with the 18 piece premium sashimi omakase instead. Everything was delicious. Although, I'd rather had scallop sashimi instead of snow crab legs. The waiter asked if we wanted the shrimp heads fried, which was a win for me this time around because I preferred it was served this way. I get some people like it raw. I am sure they have been reading customers review and feedback so this shows you how much they care to make the diner experience special. Our waiters checked in often as well. My next favorite item from their menu is their Hokkaido Kaisedon. If I remembered correctly, they did not however used seasoned Japanese sushi rice the first time I ordered so that was the only disappointment with this. The sashimi were all fresh. I'll give another try to see if the first reviews feedback was taken. We have tried their Yakitori twice now and I think it's gotten better as well. I wished they had stuck to the original too, seasoning with tare (soy glaze) or Shio (salt) and let the ingredients stand out. Have a spice container for Shichimi Togarashi instead if customers want to add. This is more traditional Japanese Yakitori and will have a larger appeal I would think. Any sushi carpaccio dish with heavy sauce should be avoided if it contain fish sauce since raw fish and fish sauce really doesn't go well, at least for me. When you have fresh sashimi, I think a light soy or ponzu sauce is all you need. Overall, I enjoyed their Japanese menu the most. We have tried some of the Thai influenced Japanese items and the sauces used are way too overpowering in my opinion. Drinks are strong and their iced tea are on the sweeter side, ask for less sugar. The setting is beautiful, customer service excellent. Come early with reservation as there is very limited parking space. read more

**Saturday Evening Done Right** We stopped by Phat Thaiger early on a Saturday evening and were greeted and seated right away - always a great start! We kicked things off with a Sapporo on tap, which hit the spot perfectly. Before I get to the food, I have to mention the atmosphere - the decor here is really special. From the beer case seats to the beautiful pottery on the tables to the blooming cherry trees, every detail adds to the experience. It's clear they've put thought into creating a welcoming space. The food was consistently excellent across the board. The crispy pork gyoza were a solid choice, but the fried shishito peppers really stood out with their crispy larb spices that delivered a pleasant kick. The salmon crudo was beautifully prepared with a delicious yuzu sauce that complemented the fish perfectly. The star of the show for me, though, had to be the crispy shrimp sticks. They were *so* perfectly fried and cooked that I honestly wanted to hoard them all for myself - crispy exterior, tender inside, just flawless execution. We finished with the fried brown sugar mochi served with green tea ice cream, which was the perfect sweet ending to cap off the meal - not too heavy, just right. Great food, friendly service, beautiful atmosphere, and attention to detail throughout. Highly recommend Phat Thaiger if you're in the Malden area! ----- read more

Phat Thaiger does a wonderful job seamlessly blending Thai and Japanese cuisine together. We tried their main dishes: the Phat Thai and Phat Tiger steak which were both quite good. Would say the steak was a tad overcooked (we asked for medium rare) but the seasoning was perfect! Phat Thai was made with udon noodles which was interesting. Would've loved a slightly stronger Pad Thai flavor since the udon noodles didn't absorb the sauce as much as expected. In terms of drinks, their Phat Thaiger Tea is delish! Not only is it visually stunning but the Thai Tea flavor is potent. Would say their staff was attentive and kind as well. Overall it was definitely a lovely time. read more

This spot blends thai and japanese food seamlessly and literally takes the best items from each and makes them very well. The food we got was expertely cooked and served beautifully.

I also witnessed someones birthday and have to say it was something you need to experience first hand. Overall a 10/10 spot. I highly recommend! read more

Phat Thaiger is owned by the sane people who brought Cryjng Thaiger, Zuru zuru and Thaiger Den to Malden and this spot is instragram worthy! The dining room is intimate and so beautifully decorated either a cherry blossom tree in the center. The bar is well stocked and their drinks so creative! The staff is wonderful and the food is so pretty and creative! Our favorite starter is the DIY omakasi treasure box. They really are thoughtful with their presentation too. I had a soup in paper that Im still dreaming about today. Parking is limited but it is definitely worth visiting! read more

Phat Thaiger - Thai Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

What a welcome addition to the neighborhood! I love the idea of Thai and Japanese fusion so we wanted to try dishes that incorporated both cuisines. They didn't have physical menus so you'd need to scan the QR code. The menu was huge so it was a bit overwhelming to look through everything on the phone. However, we eventually flagged someone down to give us some recommendations. Here's what we got (ranked): DIY Temaki 4 Box ($29.95) This was a fun way to try 4 unique flavor combinations through hand rolls. You can pick your own toppings from their list. We picked Torched Salmon Kang Som, Negitoro Spicy Wasabi, Unagi Foie Gras (+$1.95) and A5 Wagyu Nam Tok ($2.95). It came with a few sheets of crisp nori on the side to make our own hand rolls and each topping had sushi rice underneath. My favorite was the Unagi Foie Gras. Hokkaiyaki Hor-Mok Style ($14.95) Great appetizer to share. This was a large scallop shell with diced scallops baked in Thai curry sauce and cheese on top. The cheese was nice and gooey and the Thai curry sauce gave the scallops just the right amount of heat. Yakisoba Phat See Ew ($16.95) Loved the thin yakisoba noodles! I think they really soaked up the sauces so it tasted just like a traditional Pad See Ew. You can choose your own protein - we chose pork belly slices and they were so tender. The bonito flakes were nice additions as well. Thai Unagi Kabayaki ($12.95) The grilled eel was well cooked and tender with a miso glaze on top. However, I didn't really taste much of the Thai herbs on there and the jaew sauce on the side overpowered the the miso on the eel. Phat Tiger Steak ($12.95) I've had a similar dish at its sister restaurant Thaiger Den and it was so good so I was looking forward to this. Unfortunately, the steak turned out to be very tough and chewy. Overall, this is a solid spot to try out Thai-Japanese fusion. The food came out fast and were beautifully presented. The service could be better. It was our first time and with such a big menu, it would've been helpful if someone had reached out to give us a run down on the menu and the highlights. As for parking, they have a small lot with a few spaces out front and there is also street parking. read more

If you're looking for a fun food experience check out Phat Thaiger in Malden! We got to visit for the soft opening and it was a pretty good experience. We decided to split the omakase treasure box between 2 people and it was a decent portion size! Each hand roll was unique and fresh. To end the night we got the Hokkaido cheesecake which was super light and fluffy. I think the menu is pretty extensive so it can be a bit hard to choose what kind of dining experience you want. Overall it's definitely a fun spot with really beautiful interior decor. Definitely recommend making a reservation because it gets busy especially on weekends! read more

WOW! My son found this place somehow and asked to go for his birthday meal. So we made the trek into Boston and I'm sure glad we did. The staff is super friendly, accommodating and very helpful. It looks like the building it is in was once an old garage or shop, that they have done an amazing job of renovating and turning the inside into a unique dining experience. Then there is the food, it is damn good. We kind of did it more tapas style with many small plates. read more

This new Thai restaurant deserves a little more love! Their place is beautifully decorated and the cherry blossom trees are just so relaxing and serene. One thing they do differently here is that you can scan a QR code and order on your own. You can also choose not to and order with your server if you want. What's unique is their crispy mozzarella crust gyozas! I never seen anything like it, and it is the most amazing thing! It is a cheesy, crispy, meat filled gyoza and I am a cheese lover so I'm a huge fan. They have a big menu with lots of options and variety, including cold apps like sushi and salads, hot apps like fried gyozas and steak, sushi items, noodle dishes, and more. I also enjoy their fun zero-proof drinks! The thai matcha and the coconut matcha were very creamy and unique. The matcha foam is very good, but I does need a stronger matcha flavor. Everything was visually appealing, flavorful, and very unique. The service was also great! Everyone was so nice and friendly. Multiple people checked in on us and make sure we got what we needed. read more

You order by scanning a QR code and each member of your party can order individually to the table if they'd like.

We really enjoyed the phat thaiger tea, DIY temaki box with salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and shrimp, and phat thaiger steak. There are a lot of Thai and izakaya menu options to choose from and I would love to come back with friends to try some more items. read more

A cute dining spot with Thai and Japanese fusion options and tasty cocktails. I ordered their Thai tea-tini and it was a tad strong for me but a really solid drink nonetheless. I had a salmon avocado roll and a steak both of which were done well. My friend got their temaki option which looked a lot cooler though she mentioned the flavors leaned more heavily Thai. I liked that everything was done through mobile ordering and we were able to split our check by what we each ordered. One star off was just because I didn't like that they rushed us out immediately when our food was finished even though my drink wasn't. read more

Sister restaurant to Crying Thaiger and Thaiger Den, Phat Thaiger brings Thai and Japanese cuisine together in an interesting fusion concept. There's a small lot out in the front that can probably fit 5-6 cars, otherwise it's just street parking on a narrow street. The space itself was pretty with fake cherry blossom trees. The menu options were interesting as it was a lot of Thai-Japanese fusion dishes. There were also a lot of drink options as well. The fish for the sushi was very fresh and delicious. We ordered steak medium rare but it came out more medium/well done. The yakisoba pad see ew was interesting but it didn't really hit the spot - the flavors were pad see ew but noodles were yakisoba but the noodles were extremely thin and cut up so it was a bit hard to eat. Service was attentive though and very friendly! read more

Such a great addition to Malden and this family of restaurants!!! I ate at the bar and ordered seconds. It's little dish based for the most part so as a solo person I think I got like 7 or 8 things plus some cocktails and was very satisfied. The nigiri sushi was to die for. Really all of it was!! I wish I got more pictures but it's the kind of meal that makes you forget the world exists. The staff are beyond sweet-really just some of the nicest bartenders working! I also really like the interiors design. It's both very nice and artfully casual. Can't say enough nice things but definitely a spot to go. The sailor moon cocktail was incredible-I usually don't go for cocktails but couldn't help myself! And I'm so glad!! At Thaiger den I worked my way through eating the whole menu and I hope to do that here too because the idea of leaving a stone unturned and a dish untasted feels like a sin. read more

Came with a party of 5, and my partner and I ordered phat thaiger premium maki, Thai tekka don tuna, salmon wasarb crudo, mochi ice cream (green tea and strawberry), monkey banana cake w green tea ice cream, and Japanese custard cake w green tea ice cream - TASTE: 4/5 - my fave was the sushi w its combo of A5 Wagyu, uni, and truffle -- so good. Also enjoyed the brightness of the crudo's lime wasabi dressing TEXTURE: 4/5 - highlights included all of the smooth ice creams and the custard cake's filling. Was expecting a fried banana w the monkey banana cake, but wasn't real banana sadly and the texture of it felt like it just came from the freezer PRICE: 3/5 - expect to splurge. I think there's better value at Crying Thaiger or even Thaiger Den SERVING SIZE: 3/5 - my maki was missing salmon and was sad that it was only 5 pieces. Hard to reconcile the tapas-size dishes w the expensive price points SERVICE: 4/5 - made a Sunday 4:30pm reservation for our party. The staff was friendly and helpful, and food came out 15-25min after ordering for the group via a shared tab online ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - such a fun and lively space w great decor, including faux cherry blossom trees, Japanese beer crate seats, and the artwork on the walls. Glad to see the Thaiger family continuing to expand PARKING: 4/5 - handful of spots in Phat Thaiger's tiny parking lot out front, but they were taken. Got a free street spot on Eastern Ave read more

This has to be the most aesthetically pleasing Izakaya! I love how innovative they are with the dishes which makes them unique. Blending Thai and Japanese cuisines together and creating a synergy that makes you craving for more. My favorite were the temaki omakase 9 treasure box, the Phat Thai (pad thai but with udon noodles!!), and the shabu. It's crazy how they use paper to hold the broth while a fire is below the paper is keeping the food boiling. How does the paper not burn? The genius in them found a way! This is a must try! Perfect for date night, GNO, and gatherings. read more

I've visited Phat Thaigher multiple times, it's a terrific addition to the Malden restaurant scene! Delicious food with a fusion between Japanese izakaya style cuisine and Thai flavors. They have very creative cocktails and hiball offerings as well, everything I've tried has been really good. My only note is that both the draft beer lines (asahi and sapporo) need to be cleaned. They have a mildew smell, which is too bad because I really love both beers! Hopefully the issue is resolved and I can go back to ordering draft beers :) read more

This is the first time I ate at a Japanese/Thai fusion restaurant and it exceeded all my expectations! We tried the salmon bites, DIY temaki box, phat tiger steak, son in law agedashi tofu, and the yakisoba pad see ew. The taste of every dish were great, perfect mixture of Japanese and Thai flavors. The agedashi tofu is a must try with crispy skin packed with umami. The decoration fits the vibe of a Japanese izakaya and has great ambiance. Good for a chill night out with friends or even a date. Even though the ordering system is through a QR code, the staff members were still very attentive always checking in. The food also came out relatively quick despite a full house.

I liked the way they take orders: via online, you can either share a tab with your friends or just order individually, and you can order as you go - this is so convenient and efficient! The wait staff was also super friendly, baby/toddler friendly dining experience (they provided a booster seat, little water cup). Overall most of the dishes we got were pretty good! The fusion of Thai cuisine and Japanese was interesting, like their take on pad Thai but using thick udon noodles - flavorful and the udon actually holds the sauce really well! The scallop was also delicious, although initially the server didn't tell us when we should eat it since it was served atop a heated stone. The steak was probably one of my favorites of the night, it was cooked so well and tender! It came with a light dipping sauce on the side but I didn't think it needed it. The only slight disappointment for me was the hamachi crudo. The fish didn't taste as fresh, as if it was sitting out for a bit maybe? And the citrus element they added still had the skin on there, so I just ended picking those off. We finished up dinner with the cheesecake and that was delicious - it was almost more of a sponge cake but it was so fluffy and the topping was very light - the ultimate compliment for a asian dessert is "not too sweet" and that was just that! read more

3.75/5 We've enjoyed both Thaiger Den and Crying Thaiger so we were excited for this new location. It's very cute inside, great ambiance but a tad loud. You order via Toast, but the waitresses are very nice and attentive. Of the 5 dishes we had (Thai sake don, phat Thai, pasta mentaiko, hamachi crudo, and cheesecake), most were solid but nothing I'm craving to have again. I've had fresher yellowtail, better salmon bowls at like Tora, better pad Thai at Thaiger Den, etc. I liked the flavor profile of pasta mentaiko but my friend didn't as much/it's not very everyone. All in all solid addition to the Malden food scene but the least favorite of the sister restaurants. We will be coming back though to try other dishes like their temaki box! read more

Fantastic. We loved the old restaurant at this location, Omori, and had high hopes for Phat Thaiger. We got sake don, chicken yakitori, pork belly yakitori, pork gyoza, and a dragon roll. Everything was delicious, strongly recommend. Only negative is that I wish they had printed menus. The menu is quite large, with a lot to choose from. It takes a while scrolling on your phone to decide what to get, which when I'm out to eat with friends is not what I want to be doing. Still, 5 stars, great place. Will be back. read more
