    Food is outstanding! I love all the food that we've and the food is reasonably priced. I love the fact that we can have an authentic Thai food without spending too much. It's a no frills, authentic and reasonably priced restaurant for me. I highly recommend their pad thai, chicken satay and mee goreng. The chicken satay was superb - juicy, tender and flavorful. In fact, I don't even have to use the sauce as it was already flavorful on its own. Their mee goreng was really good, it has hint of spiciness for the kick but is tolerable. Flavorful as well and I can't help getting another spoonful after another. I also recommend their thai milk tea with boba. It's really good, not too sweet, and creamy but you can still taste the tea. Superb!

    Crying Tiger is hailed as one of the best Thai restaurants in Makati, as said by my bff. I've had my Thai food experience last week, and I can definitely say this one have completely distinct taste and way of cooking from one another.Again, I still can't judge Thai cuisine as a whole since I've never been to Thailand but my review is based on my likes, dislikes and what my palate "knows".For the appetizers, Pak Boong Fai Daeng (Morning Glory with Garlic), Som Tam (Thai Green Papaya Salad), and Khai Nuk Kinta (Bangkok Quail Eggs). They're mostly spiced veggies (except for the quail eggs), and if you're not used to Spicy Thai Food-- you'll find it extremely spicy (like me).For the carbs, Pad Thai, Mee Goreng (Spicy Seafood Noodles), and Khao Pad Goong (Thai Shrimp Fried Rice). The best Mee Goreng I ever had. their Shrimp Fried Rice is soooo GOOOOD. Good for 2-3pax and very worth the penny! And for the mains, 8pcs of Gai Tod (Thai Fried Chicken), Moo Ping (Thai Pork Barbecue), Chicken Satay, Gai Pad Ka Prao (Basil Chicken), and Panang Curry (Red Pork Curry). The Red Pork Curry is undeniably good, but if the spice can be toned down, I'd love it! The barbecues are also delish.For the dessert, the Khao Nian Mamuang (Thai Sticky Rice with Mango) is unexpectedly sweet (but on the good side). Much better than the last one I had.

    In the Philippines it's quite difficult to find an authentic tasting Thai food especially in the malls or even elsewhere, usually they put more focus on the embellishments , ornaments and ambiance making it "cultured" or inorganic thus sacrificing the authentic taste of the cuisine it represents.As a frequent visitor of the Southeast Asian region,I can't help but to search for the original tastes I've encountered during my journeys in Thailand , Malaysia, Indonesia ,SG et Al.Unfortunately here in Manila they fused it with the local Filipino touch.Crying Tiger Street Kitchen epitomizes the feel ,the flavors of Southeast Asia most specifically Thai cuisine yet also offers the colorful gastromic culture of Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.I was invited to be a part of degustation of the dishes that they're offering,the restaurant was very gracious and generous host to serve us the following dishes:*PadThai- their version of this noodle dish was inspired from a popular Pad Thai place in Bangkok,they used woon sen noodles with the usual veggies and proteins in it enveloped with scrambled egg,not the usual Pad Thai served in Manila.Perfect if you will add some traditional Thai condiments like pickled chili,some sugar,fish sauce,lime and pepper flakes. *Gaitod Fried Chicken - traditional Thai style chicken topped with crispy fried shallots.Order the family size bunch which is perfect for barkada or family.*Mooping -Thai Pork BBQ, lovely marinade on pork,nice texture I like that notes of roasted caramel on every bite,how they slices the pork into flat cutlets ,great with some of your favorite brew and it's priced reasonably at PHP35 per skewer .Perfect Thai pulutan or even paired with hot steamed rice.*SomTam- the papaya salad , just the way I make it at home and balance of the taste of the lime with the eathyness of the string beans and peanuts merges very well, they made it more appealing with the salted egg.*Khao Pad Goong- Thai Shrimp Fried Rice ,a crowd favorite you can eat it on its own even without the accompaniment if other dishes , a complete meal.*MeeGoreng- basically a noodle dish in Southeast Asia have multiple variants from the countries who claim it as their own national dish.I like how they balanced the flavors making it nearly as no touch of Pinoy at all.*Chicken Satay - chicken breast cut and skewered perfectly marinated with turmeric and peanut sauce ,works well with the peanut dip.*Pakboong Fai Daeng- Morning Glory in Garlic a simple stir fried vegetable Asian dish ,very popular in the tropical Southeast Asian region.*Khao Nian Mamuang- Mango Sticky Rice, ubiquitous in Thailand but the exceptional quality of Philippine mango and the replication of the sticky rice with sesame seeds on top drizzled with that warm coconut cream make it more decadent.*Khao Nuk Kinta Bangkok Quail Eggs ,fried quail Eggs with their secret Thai dip.*Gai Pad KraPow Thai basil chicken- the showstopper it brought me back to Thailand ,spot on basil taste,the texture of the chicken superb,flavors of Siam manifested in every bite,the kick from the birds eye chili was on the mark. Small details like how they cooked the sunny side up egg is very conventional Thai flair ,toasty and crisp on the underside.Those minute details means a lot and very impressive.*Phanang Curry- love that thick, salty and sweet, with a nutty peanut flavor. It's very distinct, different from the Pinoy curry you're used to,also not the same as it's Indian counterpart.You can notice the notes and aroma of the galangal upon reaching the palate.Heat scale 3.5/5 which is for me the right level of spiciness.Thai Milktea - thumbs up!Ambiance is not fancy which is a big plus for me ,if you've been to some of our Southeast Asian neighbors you will understand what I meant.Unpretensious good food ,reasonably priced ,well researched ingredients and process of cooking.I checked some of the ingredients and condiments they used and they are sourced from the country from which their cuisine or theme represented.For the rating I can give this a 4.6/5 but it seems that Crying Tiger is a jewel in Poblacion ,Makati so I'll give a generous 5.Crying Tiger did made me smile instead of making me cry in search for that authentic unadulterated Southeast Asia taste.Thanks to Crying Tiger Street Kitchen and The Pat kid inside for this wonderful invite.#tseeboogAsiano#independentReviewer#notFamousButTrue#notoPlagiarism#diSikatperoTotoo

There were just that were too spicy for my taste- I particularly like their pad thai. It’s like the one I’ve tasted when I went to Thailand. I also like the bangkok quail eggs, its my first time to try something like this. Their thai friend chicken is soooo good and pairs perfectly with their fried rice. Chicken satay is also a must try.- I like their thai iced tea. Its not the commercialized type. It’s legit Thai iced teaDon’t judge a book by its cover— this one is worth a try!

    A HUGE cockroach landed on our table while were still eating. Staff was rude except for ate in the bar. The food was mediocre, but we weren’t able to finish because of the huge cockroach that just ruined our appetite. And to add, I saw it land on another customer’s beer lol I hope they’d do something about their sanitation and staff.

    I am not sure if they were going for real Thai or Filipinized Thai food.The pad thai did not have any nutty flavor. It tasted purely of alamang and what I believe were anchiovies? Lots of egg in there, too.The sticky rice used was suman, very far from the real Thai sticky rice. I could have bought suman and manga from the market na lang.Chicken satay lacked the nutty taste as well.All the flavors were just wrong. Quantity was okay but quality was 👎

    Crying Tiger is one of the restaurants in Poblacion, Makati, that I’d go back to.  As you know, my love for Asian food is beyond measure. Here, I can get authentic flavors without breaking my bank.  They have a flavorful taste of Asian dishes that are friendly on the budget without compromising its taste.

    Dined here a couple of months back and I really enjoyed all the food that we ordered! Super reasonable prices and the servings are quite big.We ordered the Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, Malaysian Chicken Curry, fried spring rolls, Chicken Satay, and fried chicken (not in photos). My personal favorites are the Pad See Ew and Malaysian Chicken Curry. I would go back for these dishes!
