    Thaiger Den been in my list for so long, finally trying it now. Sous Vide Beef Tongue - I wish the cut is more bigger and/or bigger portion. Smoky and a rich beef flavor. My favorite dish. Grilled Portobello Mushroom - This dish was order as extra, nothing special. Wagyu Boat Noodle - The soup was savory but disappointed only wagyu beef, did not have the beef heel muscle and beef tendon as it described. The rice noodle just right, not overly cooked. Crab curry - Not really my favorite crab curry with small portion of crab. I keep comparing the crab curry that I had at Mahaniyom in Brookline.

    Thaiger Den is an upscale Thai restaurant. It has a fun, chic and modern atmosphere, and the service is absolutely impeccable. Without a reservation, the wait was about an hour on a Saturday night, but it was so worth it. The Thai tea was one of the best I've ever had not overly sweet and topped with a milk cold foam giving it a rich and creamy texture. The Massaman Pot Pie was both unique and comforting. The crust was crispy and flaky, and the beef and vegetables inside were savory and full of flavor. The steak Pad Thai took a bit longer to arrive but when it did, the steak, which we ordered medium rare was well done. Our server offered to replace it, but since my daughter was tired and hungry, we decided to keep it. As a kind gesture, they brought us a complimentary Thai Tea Panna Cotta for dessert. It was silky, lightly sweet, and the perfect ending to an outstanding meal. Highly recommend, just be sure to make a reservation ahead of time.

    Appetizers (10/10): I really appreciated the free appetizers! The crispy pasta was delicious. The fruit salad was also very refreshing. Beef Tongue (7/10): This dish was overshadowed by the other superstars we ordered, but it wasn't bad. The beef tongue itself was pretty boring, but the sauces made it come to life. Berkshire Pork Cheek (9/10): The pork cheek was delicious. The veggies were also equally good! I loved the cauliflower and asparagus. The sauce was really good, too. Golden Fried Pork Belly over Krapow Rice (10/10): The crispy pork belly is so good!!!! I loved the fried basil too. The rice has a nice kick to it. Khao Soi (9/10): We got this with flatiron steak, which was super good. Very, very tender. Noodles were great. Crispy parts were great. Curry was great. Highly recommend! Mango Sticky Rice (10/10): Mango was tender and sweet. Sticky rice was cooked perfectly. The ice cream and whipped cream also complemented the dish so well. We came on a Sunday night and it wasn't crowded at all. Service was very good. Prices are expensive, but I'd say it's worth it

    This restaurant is SO cute!!! They have an adorable waiting area and such a fun tiger theme. Our waitress was so helpful and kind. The dishes were really yummy, and even though I'm not a fan of spice, my friends who ordered spicy food said it was so good. The golden pork belly was sooo delicious although the dish was very salty overall. They also had plenty of Veg options. We ordered the fake calamari which were actually fried coconut chips. I also got to try the thai tea which had a fun foam on top. It was very aesthetically pleasing and tasted very sweet, which I love from thai tea.

    Thaiger Den has gotten glowing praise since opening, and I can validate now that it is worth all the praise and doting that it has been receiving. My only regret is that it took us so long to get there to try it out. The first difference between TDen and some of the other highly touted Thai restaurants is the location. It's a bit out of the bustle of Boston/Somerville/Cambridge, which can feel like it has been a bit forgotten by the critics and blogs. However, the richness of the decor and menu shows that it falls more into the neighborhood gem that is well worth the trip to experience what I've been told is a true and authentic Thai experience (never been, and not Thai myself). The next is there are a number of dishes that I have never seen on the Thai restaurants that I frequent, so there is a deeper offering of the various regional dishes offered throughout the country. But depth or number of offerings/dishes doesn't make somewhere great... your average TexMex place shows that. Everything here is perfectly executed without overuse of oil or seasoning that makes the dish inedible, which can be the case when dealing with a spicy cuisine like Thai can be. So you can have confidence when you order something from the menu it will be as described (spicy or not) and amazingly executed. All of this is all for naught if service is crap, but the service is amazing. It falls somewhere between smothering and average, as if the server knows exactly when you need something or to follow up. This is indeed an art vs. a science, and they have crafted experts in the field. TDen is an establishment that should remain to be added to your rotation or list of places to visit for all the reasons above, but there is also the point of the value proposition that makes it feel like a higher end eatery than the price point. If you are a fan of Thai cuisine, TDen must be experienced sooner rather than later.

    Steak pad thai

    I love this new spot in Malden! Although its an upscale restaurant, the food here is fairly priced for the quality and portion size. The dishes are family style and can be shared among multiple people. Every dish was very tasty and unique. The star of the show was definitely the RIBEYE STEAK. It comes out smoked and it was cooked a perfect medium rare. I love the seasoning on it and the sauce on the side goes so well with the steak and the veggies. The IRON STEAK PAD THAI was so flavorful and its a very good pad thai because it was not greasy and the sauce was evenly mixed into all the noodles. The PORK CHEEK was also a surprising favorite! It was so rich and smooth and I really enjoyed it. I think its my first time having pork cheek and it didn't disappoint! Overall, every item we tried was so so good. Everything came out at a good timing, beautifully presented, and very tasty. Great service, great ambiance, and a very casual but upscale restaurant. I will definitely come back for the ribeye steak!

    I'm a huge fan of Thai food, but I usually go for more casual spots that do takeout or quick lunches. This time, my friend and I decided to shake things up with more of an upscale Thai dinner. Overall, I was really impressed. The service was noticeably great (which is something I say about very few places in Boston) and the decor was fantastic. Food wise, I really enjoyed all the dishes we ordered. Everything had great flavor to it and the meat and vegetables were cooked nicely. I'd be happy to try out Crying Thaiger as well!

    Loved the decor, the service was great, and the food was good! So many dishes on the menu looked great, so I'll definitely be back to try more. Of all the things I ordered, my recommendation for others would be the Roasted Curry Flat Iron Steak...10/10! I've had more expensive steaks at steakhouses that weren't as tender and flavorful as that was. That dish is definitely something that can't be replicated at home.

    An amazing, elevated Thai dining experience! We made reservations online a week prior. The interior is well decorated and elegant compared to your everyday Thai restaurant. The servers were also great, recommending dishes and thoroughly explaining their extensive menu. We ordered the following dishes: -Roasted Tomato Relish (Nam Prik): Delicious and a great, crunchy starter. The tomato dip was nicely smoky and spicy. -Sous Vide Beef Tongue: So tender! Would highly recommend if you like beef tongue. -Roasted Curry with Flat Iron Steak: Very flavorful and deliciously paired with the accompanying berry rice. The steak itself is okay but the spinach curry is a show stopper. -Khao Soi with Beef Shank: Beautiful, al dente noodles complemented by a savory, coconuty broth. The beef shank is also a nice addition and very soft. -Steamed Branzino: Spicy and well seasoned but slightly overcooked. -Mango Sticky Rice: Loved the butterfly pea flower infused sticky rice. Mangos were ripe and the coconut ice cream was great. Parking was a little tough on a Sunday evening. There is plenty of street parking nearby but that area gets busy. We can't wait to return and try the other things on their menu!

    Took me a while to finally get the chance to come here! The vibes is the biggest seller of this spot- moody lights and cozy perfect for a date night or night out. We ordered many dishes for the table that some were better than others. The mains definitely impressed us more than the small plates/appetizers. Could skip on the wings and the sharing plate. Everything else was cool very well and super flavorful. It didn't blow us away but everything was cooked well and was tasty!

    Thaiger Den offers an upscale, modern take on Thai cuisine, serving both traditional dishes and more refined, fancy versions. The atmosphere is sleek and stylish, with nice decor and an open layout that includes a central bar. There's plenty of seating, making it a good spot for larger groups. We tried a few different dishes during our visit. They started us off with a couple of unique side dishes on the house, which was a nice touch. For our meal, we ordered the chicken satay, a pad thai, and a curry with steak. The chicken satay, unfortunately, wasn't for us, the flavor was different than what we expected and we didn't end up finishing it, though others might like their interpretation. The pad thai was delicious, with a really generous portion size and great flavor. The real highlight of the night was the steak and curry. The steak itself was cooked perfectly, really tender and juicy. It went amazingly well with the rich curry. The curry had a slight, building kick to it that paired perfectly with rice and brought the whole dish together. We ended the meal with the mango sticky rice for dessert. It was presented beautifully with the rice shaped into a heart, and it tasted perfect, with it being not too sweet at all. The scoop of ice cream on the side paired with it really well. It's a solid choice for a nicer Thai meal with a cool vibe. While not every single dish was a home run for us, the highlights were genuinely excellent and made for a really enjoyable dinner.

    What a beautiful restaurant. The decor was great and the service to match. It was pretty busy for a chilly Wednesday dinner night. I recommend having reservations! Let's chat food! Tom yum, pork belly app, pad kra pao & mango sticky rice were my favorite dishes! I wasn't too impressed with their pad Thai. The slabs of chicken threw me off to be completely honest with you. However, I did enjoy the fact that the peanuts & bean sprouts weren't already mixed in. Fried chicken was plain but the sauce on the side was nice and flavorful. Overall a good experience. Will be back!

    Pineapple appetizer
    Kristen K.

    3.5 stars This restaurant was very nice, definitely a little more upscale than I was originally expecting. Decor was thoughtful and bathrooms were clean. The food itself was certainly on the more expensive side, and we enjoyed the main dishes we ordered. Would skip the pineapple appetizer - was difficult to eat in one bite and eating the components separately was a bit weird. We didn't drink this time around but would love to come back to try some of their cocktails.

    Den pad thai. This was excellent

    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.

I ordered a clear soup ($7) to start that comes with tofu and veggies, and a house curry with vegan duck ($19). Both came out in about 5 minutes. The soup was forgettable, pretty bland, but at least veggies. The broth was extremely gentle, slightly garlicky but otherwise boring. The curry, however, was well-done. It came with broccoli, red and green pepper, and carrot, with plenty of vegan duck that had great texture. Not the most complex or decadent curry, but well done. Very friendly, hospitable and accommodating stuff. Very good spot for vegan-friendly Thai in Malden.

We tried several dishes, but the standouts were the Massaman Beef Curry and the Pad See Ew. The Pad See Ew was packed with flavor, loaded with fresh white meat chicken, and the portion was huge.

They offer both dine-in and takeout, and they also take reservations, which is a nice bonus. I'll definitely be back to work my way through more of the menu!

The interior is decorated nicely, it's clean and the wait staff were professional and friendly. My main comment is that the food was extremely OK. I wasn't offended, but for some reason the pineapple fried rice was not seasoned much, the drunken noodle (probably the best dish of the night) was decently good albeit a little too spicy, and the shumai appetizer was almost there, but not quite. It was a bit of a let down overall as it has so much potential to be a really great spot. With Dakzen, Sugar & Spice and other Thai places nearby Blue Elephant needs to step it up a little then it'll be great.
