Rustic-industrial eatery serving classic Thai fare such as soups, salads & noodles in unfussy digs.
"This busy Malden spot, open since late 2017, offers a pretty giant menu. It’s named for — albeit in punny form — the “crying tiger” dish originating in Thailand’s Isan region in the northeast, a spiced, grilled brisket. Crying Thaiger offers a handful of “crying” dishes — try the wings, among the best in the Boston area — as well as plenty more options, including khai krok (sunny side up quail eggs), a crab paste omelet, rice baked in a clay pot with sweet sausage, and more. Those dishes are among your best bets, but keep an eye out for seasonal specials, too. (If nam prik ong, a northern Thai chile dip, is available, get it.)" - Valerie Li Stack, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"Crispy, meaty, and strongly seasoned, the crying wings at Crying Thaiger deliver a balanced level of spice that will stick with you a bit without totally destroying your tastebuds for the rest of the meal. The menu is huge, but find room for the wings." - Terrence Doyle, Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares
