The crying tiger - (Near Largo, FL)

4 /5 Tony Stefanski: This was our first time visiting Crying Tiger and the Nam Khao was the standout dish for me. Excellent flavor and textures. The Curry was slightly different than what I am normally used to, but was still very good. The Sausage was perfect. The only complaint I had, which is minor, the Papaya Salad was good and had good heat, but the strips were a little wide compared the the thin strips I am used to. I will definitely be back.

5 /5 K p: We went to eat here last night and it was a great experience all around. I ordered a dish from the Laotian part of the menu and it was amazing. Sorry I don’t remember what it was called but the flavors were new for me and that is what I wanted. Something different from all the food I usually get. They brought out this cute plate for my daughter who is 3 and she loved it. My friend ordered Pad Thai and I tried hers. I normally am not a huge fan of that dish but it was very good and I would even order it next time I come. The staff were super nice and they have a karaoke set up which they turned on and I even sang a couple of songs at the end of the night. We will definitely be back and they are new as of this review (2 months old) so definitely check them out and you won’t be disappointed.

3 /5 Double G: I was utterly disappointed with their customer service and the food portions and quality. Came in and was seated right away but it took them a while to get us water and order our food. Instead, our waiter helped another couple who was sat down after us. Mind you, they weren’t busy and had a couple of other servers. They did correct it because our salad came out first but the sticky rice we ordered for it didn’t arrive. We were about half way done with it and finally I asked them about it only to get cold hard sticky rice. Wasn’t even warm at all. I could get better sticky rice at United Oriental for cheaper and more quantity! I was underwhelm when I saw the portion of the crispy rice. Especially for how expensive the price is. Crispy rice tasted good but the rice itself didn’t hit the same as other ones my fiancé and I tried. Only thing that tasted on point was the papaya salad and the mango sticky rice tbh. I’m guessing they were having an off day.

1 /5 a rai wa panñaon: This was my first time trying this restaurant, and honestly, I was very disappointed. The food was not good at all — the flavors were bland, the portions were small, and the quality did not match the price. If the food was expensive but delicious and clearly priced, I would not be upset. What made the experience worse was the pricing. I only noticed after I got home and checked the receipt that the prices on the menu did not match what I was charged: • Tum Luang Pa Bang: menu price $15.95, charged $18.20 • Gang Nor Mai: menu price $15.95, charged $18.20 • Laab Seen: menu price $17.95, charged $19.23 • Gang Kueng Nai: menu price $15.95, charged $18.20 I was never informed about any additional charges. If there is an extra fee for takeout orders or any hidden charges, it should be clearly stated on the menu or explained before ordering. This lack of transparency is unacceptable. The only positive thing was the service — the staff were very friendly and polite.
