The service was good, and food was delicious. The tiger steak was flavorful and tasty. The house rice was amazing, and yellow curry was chef's kiss 💋.

Diner Review №2

I discovered this place last December and still hold it dear to my heart. It has so many dishes that sounds amazing that I want to try them all and yet I always get the Khao Soi (I think that’s the one I get because I have a terrible memory). The chicken is so juicy, tender, and even more delicious than some other Asian restaurants that specify for their fried chicken. Each portion is pretty great and some are even bigger than expected pre-pandemic. The restaurant has an open concept design and all the employees that I’ve seen are incredibly friendly.

Crying Tiger Thai Bistro & Bar in Eastvale, California, has become my go-to spot for both dinner and lunch, and for good reason! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to unwind after a long day or enjoy a casual lunch.

For dinner, I was truly impressed by the flavorful dishes that showcase authentic Thai cuisine. The Crying Tiger beef was a standout, perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The balance of spices and herbs in their dishes is exceptional, and every bite is a delightful experience.

Their lunch menu is equally impressive, offering a variety of options that are both delicious and reasonably priced. Whether I'm in the mood for a classic Pad Thai or something more adventurous, I always leave satisfied.

The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every visit is a pleasant one. I highly recommend Crying Tiger Thai Bistro & Bar to anyone looking for a fantastic Thai dining experience in Eastvale!

A group of five of us dined here for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday and Crying Tiger did not disappoint! I'm a review person, and one of the posted reviews had me a little skeptical as an African American, but the servers and service was great and the food was just as enjoyable! Thank you Crying Tiger for a wonderful first impression. :))

I ordered some to-go from this Thai, I always eat Thai in Mira Loma, but it was closed on Christmas. The food was a little warm, not very hot. The curry was not spicy at all, and tasted weird; the pad Thai and tom yum were off, did they add a lot of sugar, but less salt? Looks like I am eating dessert.. I want to get my refund

Friendly service and delicious food. Had some of the best beef kra pow ever. Cream cheese wontons had great flavor but were slightly overcooked.

Diner Review №14

Great food, very good service at good prices!

Diner Review №15

Didn't get to eat, walked in with my family, stood at the door for about 5 minutes by the "Please wait to be seated" sign. There were employees walking around, not terribly busy, they all pretend that they didn't see us, not even a greeting or acknowledgment. We walked out. Employees need basic restaurant etiquette.

Diner Review №16

Been here numerous times and it never disappoints. Aside from the food being amazing, the service is top notch….efficiently, accommodating and always super friendly. I’d like to say I wish it had a larger dining area, but with how fast they bring out the food and how fast we eat it, no need.

Diner Review №25

I usually don't write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my recent experience at Crying Tiger. My friends and I were excited to dine there, but unfortunately, our visit was very disappointing. One of my friends, who is Black, was treated with noticeable indifference and a lack of attentiveness by one of the servers. It was four of us, and this server helped to refill our water for three of us (she did it twice) and those two times she completely ignored my friend's cup. When my friend asked for a refill, this server just gave her attitude and dropped the whole jar of water in front of her. This contrast in service was disheartening and made the meal feel uncomfortable. However, businesses need to ensure that all guests receive equal and respectful treatment.

Pros: The food was decent and the atmosphere was okay.

Cons: Service was inconsistent and felt discriminatory.

Diner Review №26

Very Bad service and atmosphere. Waitress was very racist, discriminative and rude! She was not able to hide it while serving us. If you are a person of colour, or have friends/family of color please just avoid this place coz the difference in treatment will be so obvious.
All we wanted was to just enjoy our meal.

Diner Review №27

Delicious food every time we eat here. Great service and beautiful restaurant. I love the eggplant and tofu!

Diner Review №28

The service and food was superb! Had a hard time choosing my lunch because everything looked fabulous 👌 I'll be back soon!

Diner Review №29

Thought we'd give it a try, Food is good, The place was already busy just after opening up. My phone order was ready on time.

Diner Review №30

GPS will direct you to the back of the resturant. You'll see the kitchen so just walk around to the front entrance.

Diner Review №31

Very good food. Clean and friendly restaurant and service.

Diner Review №32

Ordered cashew chicken and salads, one salad was not edible. Service took too long for takeout. Cashier was not nice. If they don’t improve, they should close.

Diner Review №33

Diner Review №34

Came on a Saturday night. The place was packed and the wait was long, but it is a pretty small restaurant. Once seated, the service was quick and friendly. The crying tiger is a must, and the sauces on the side really complemented it. The Pad see ew noodle texture was good and they serve a big portion, but it could have used a touch more flavor.

If you are concerned about the long wait, you could order takeout and sit at one of the many open tables in the courtyard right outside.

Diner Review №35

Waited 20 minutes to get a table. We’re seated and waited for another 25 minutes to not get attended by any server not hello not sorry for the wait NOTHING! Not even a glass of water.

Diner Review №36

I recently had the pleasure of dining here during lunch, and overall, I was thoroughly impressed with my experience. The modern ambiance of the restaurant was sleek and inviting, setting the tone for a great meal. The Thai tea, although a bit pricey, was delicious and perfectly brewed. The service was top-notch, with our servers being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. They made great recommendations and checked in on us frequently.
My partner opted for the Fried Rice Lunch Special, which came with a veggie egg roll and side salad. The fried rice was cooked to perfection, with a nice balance of flavors and textures. The egg roll was crispy and flavorful, and the side salad was fresh! I also tried the OG Thai Boat Noodle, which was good, I felt that this dish was slightly lacking in depth of flavor. However, it was still enjoyable and I appreciated the generous portion size.

Diner Review №37

Fun place

Diner Review №38

Lunch curry special was really good. Service was great. Will be back. 😋

Diner Review №39

A new addition near Costco at Hamner and the food quality doesn’t disappoint. The food was great, Curry optimally thick and tasty, The fried rice had enough taste and all freshly prepared. Would come here more often and the service staff was super organized though the place was crowded for a Friday afternoon

Diner Review №40

I always find something that I enjoy here. The staff is friendly and even though it's a little on the small side inside l, the wait is never very long. Try the crying tiger steak.

Tastety foods and good services. However, price is moderate to high comparing to other Restaurant closed by in Asian cuisine.

Diner Review №54

I had high expectations of this restaurant on the recommendation of a friend, and it was quite busy, but we were seated relatively quickly. Service was great. We ordered Orange Chicken, Chow Mein, and two Crying Tiger Fried Rice specials... the Orange chicken was tangy, sweet but different tasting, not necessarily in a bad way. The Chow Mein noodles were also different, like Curly Top Ramen noodles stir fried, I wasn't a fan, not terrible, but I wouldn't order it again. The Crying Tiger Fried Rice had cuts of medium-heat Ribeye that was seasoned well but both were fatty cuts of meat. There was inconsistencies in the seasoning, in particular the spiciness of the two plates, and wifey was not pleased. About 10 bites into my plate, I found a hair in the plate... I was done.

Diner Review №55

Ordered 2/13/24 around 8:30 PM crying tiger beef but looks like the cook was not paying attention and gave this uncooked steak. I never asked for this to be cook medium or red this is just not cooked well. I had to finish cooking it at home. Just want them to pay attention next time. Place and food is good. This is my 3rd time ordering take out and this is the first time it disappoints.

Diner Review №56

This is absolutely my new favorite Thai place! The servers are friendly and attentive and it feels good to be here. The food is exceptionally delicious and super tasty! Their special tiger fried rice is a must try and I can’t wait to come back and try the other dishes. I am very impressed! Keep up the great work.

Diner Review №57

The food is delicious and everyone is so friendly, so happy to have an authentic place near me.

Diner Review №58

Everything that we ordered was delicious. This is definitely a step up on your regular Thai food restaurants in the area. The Basil rice, Crying Tiger, Orange Chicken, Pad Thai was amazing. There are still plenty of dishes that we haven't tried yet. This was our 1st time. Service was great. For sure we will be back. Plus they have plenty of parking.

Diner Review №59

The service from Gabriel is awesome and the food is amazing. We drive from Hemet to eat there.

Diner Review №67

Food was really good. The wait to get a table sucks. Wish there was a call ahead to get on the wait list on Yelp like other places do

Diner Review №68

Really good food, hidden gem, really nice and lovely staff

Diner Review №69

I had their house fried rice, unfortunately it didn't have much flavor. I also had their orange chicken that tasted fresh but was just ok.

Diner Review №70

Definitely not authentic Thai food
it's more Asian tasting with a touch of American Bar atmosphere definitely lacking true spices in its sauces

I took a peek in the kitchen look likeMexican people cooking the food hahaha

The food was blend it needed some help in the spices the noodles were overcooked giving it a two rating is being generous

100% authentic Thai restaurant
Little Buddha Thai Kitchen, 6237 Pats Ranch Rd, Ste E, Mira Loma

I've tried all the Crying Tiger favorites on the menu and they were all amazing!! Anything spicy on the menu is also bomb!! 🥵 Love their spicy accoutrements as well, kick it up a notch 🔥 Best restaurant at The Station!!! Always busy here because it's so good. The staff is super friendly 😊

Diner Review №75

Service has always been so prompt and friendly, received our meal within 8-10 minutes of ordering. Husband and I had their lunch special yellow curry and pad see ew, both delicious and served with equally appetizing spring rolls and salad. Definitely would come back!

P.S. Extra points to their interior designer for their thoughtfully and beautifully designed, but functional dining space.

Garlic Fried Fish is very good!

Diner Review №78

We came here on a Sunday afternoon while we waited for Costco to die down. We were able to be seated quickly and our orders were out within 10 minutes.

The food quality was amazing, menu prices were decent. the portions were fair and the service was quick.

This is worth a visit, we both would come back.

Great food, my only complaint is that they never refilled me drink.

Diner Review №82

We went for lunch on a Saturday. There was no wait. The customer service was great! I got the crying tiger Ribeye and it was amazing. It was perfectly cooked and had so much flavor. We also got the curry and it was delicious as well. The Thai tea was also really good it wasn't too sweet like most Thai tea! I can't wait to come back to try other dishes.

Diner Review №83

Diner Review №84

The details in the benches & fun art made me enjoy the hectic atmosphere. Service was good & staff was attentive as we came around their early dinner rush. First timer from Vegas & I am definitely coming back. No complains about the food; just let them know before getting seated if you need a bigger table for the amount of dishes you’ll be ordering. It was a challenge for us with the top top.

Diner Review №85

Crying Tiger has fresh, delicious food served by the nicest people in the planet. The vibe is great! Definitely recommend!

Cheers, friends!

Good foods, reasonable price and fun environment....
I ordered Pad Thai and my partner ordered curry lunch special.... they came with small salad and an egg roll.
Will come back....

Diner Review №89

Great Thai food with excellent service in a very friendly atmosphere

Diner Review №90

I really enjoyed Crying Tiger. The employees were very friendly and hospitable, and the restaurant was very clean and inviting. The food was delicious and flavorful. We tried the cream cheese wontons, curry puffs, and pad thai. I want to try all the other items on the menu because everything we ordered was very good. The orange chicken also looked very good. Keep in mind, they close for break at 3 pm, and only offer takeout after 230ish pm, and reopen at 5 pm for dinner. I will definitely be returning, best thai restaurant in Eastvale.

Diner Review №91

Great customer service! Food is a little salty for my taste bud.

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №97

Loved it!

Diner Review №98

We had the orange chicken and the Crying Tiger steak. Both dishes were absolutely awesome in flavor and consistency!!! The orange chicken was juicy, yet still had that signature crunch. The steak had great flavor and the perfect texture. The Thai tea was very good with that signature tea flavor. I felt that the only thing missing in the tea was the boba! Overall, it’s definitely a place that I would visit again.

They have legit actual thai food, papaya salad is exactly the same way i had in thailand. I love how they have Thailand local Beer shingha here. So good! one of my go-to local spot. Spicy cashew nut chicken, riblet, chicken wings, pad thai sooo good. Food comes out really fast. Server Gabe is super friendly and nice!

My husband and I went here for a date recently. He ordered the spicy cashew chicken and I had the pad see ew with chicken. My husband's chicken had a really great flavor, the rice and veggies that came with it were ok. My noodles were fresh and hot but lacked flavor. Even though both were marked spicy, neither dish was. They did have a nice selection of sauces to add to your food. The service was average, nothing to complain about or praise.

Diner Review №111

Great place .. the food the service was great.

Diner Review №112

Authentic Thai cuisine with a pleasant and delicate interior atmosphere. Pad Thai noodle is truly delicious and very original. It is as good as those found in Bangkok! We are really grateful to have an original Thai cuisine in the neighborhood. However, hmm, the green curry chicken, well, not as delicious as expected - the green curry taste is overtaken by heavy milky coconut taste. Overall service is great and a pleasant dining spot in Eastvale.

Diner Review №113

It was my second time there. Drunken Noodles one time, yellow curry the other. Both excellent. As was our service. Both times I went was for lunch next time going for dinner.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

I took a take away. They were pretty fast and food was good. Basil fried rice with tofu was awesome!

Diner Review №116

Very good Thai food. Highly recommend. Good service.

Diner Review №117

The Panang curry was soooooo good. No pictures, because I couldn't stop eating long enough to take any.

Diner Review №118

Although last time we went the steak was cold, I'll have to overlook it. The service lacked too. But normally. Great food, great service, and go home happy.

Diner Review №119

Food is always fresh and great positions and staff is very friendly.

Diner Review №120

Diner Review №121

Being a Thai restaurant that don't use spicy paste and fresh herbs to make fish taste better is a new thing for me
,the food is fair, nothing special if you know how authentic Thai food would have a different taste and smell, not like America food,if

l wanted America food l would have gone to one?
waiter was very kind, place was extremely clean (end up spending 37.00 for drunken noodles, thai ice tea,and dry fish /rice)

Most Thai restaurants have a healthy list of vegetarian main dish options. This is most common when the owners are Thai. This place said they offers only 1 vegetarian item, the vegetarian green curry. The server said the owners are not Thai. Little Buddha is about a mile away and it has the freshest ingredients and a large number of vegetarian options. Even though we are closer to Crying Tiger, we will continue to go to LIttle Buddha.

Oh man ...the food is super yummy here. One of my favorite places to eat and the hospitality is amazing.

Diner Review №132

Love coming here! This past visit i got their Crying Tiger, Fried Tofu and a Thai tea. The Crying Tiger is the perfect amount of spicy to really hit but not overwhelm the taste of the beef. The fried tofu were bigger pieces than i personally prefer but fried well and still delicious. The Thai tea is also good and not watered down like some places. I've also gotten their Curry Puffs on a previous visit and definitely recommend those! Price point is a little higher than other Thai restaurants but one of my favorites to visit in the IE.

Diner Review №134

1st time here came with my fam bam for late night eating had Drunken noodles, tum ka, and appetizer Pork something and all the food must say..."Fire"..... I would recommend this place to everyone.
I Will definitely be coming back!!

Diner Review №135

Diner Review №136

OK, here's my review. I had the chicken pad see ewe. This is my 1st time at this restaurant and they are new. It's also very busy in here which is good for them, but surprising. The reason why I say this is because my food was really not that good at all. It's not authentic and the sauce has a very strange taste. Also, the noodles were overcooked, mushy, and there were lots of broken noodles which was a disappointment and very difficult to eat. There was a bitter aftertaste in the whole entire meal which was disappointing. Normally Chinese broccoli is the only bitter element, and it compliments the sweet flavor of the sauce on the noodles. This was not the case tonight.

Diner Review №137

Diner Review №138

Ordered the pork, garlic rib appetizer and calamari. The ribs were terrible! Over cooked and soooo fry. Lastly, they were far too expensive for their serving sizes.

Diner Review №139

This was our first time going. It was delicious 😋 definitely going back. We got the drunken noodle with Tofu, garlic fish filet and the crab fried rice. Of course Thai tea.

Diner Review №140

Im still waiting to be seated, but the foods coming from the kitchen is to die for. It was different from your typical thai resto. The presentation is amazing. Can't wait.😯

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

The best Thai food around the area! It's a small location, but we were sat quickly. We had the house fried rice, egg rolls, and spicy cashew nut. All of it was excellent. Will be coming back for sure. Also, there is a bar top area, and they serve beer and wine.

Diner Review №143

Great food and great customer service, we enjoyed our our meal and will be back again.

Diner Review №144

Diner Review №145

All the dishes were very good. Don’t forget the mango sticky rice for dessert.

Diner Review №146

Food is great! Staff is awesome! I like their pad Thai and crying tiger!!

Diner Review №147

Had the green curry chicken and crab curry and they were both delicious.

Diner Review №148

Thai green curry is not very flavorful, more coconut milk than curry paste. Ingredients seem fresh though.

Diner Review №149

Great food; great service all around.
We liked the Green Curry, Chicken Satay, and Orange Chicken

We'll l be back!

Diner Review №154

The food is very good! They are still short staffed so make sure you order ahead or buy an appetizer if you eat in.

Food was not that good and overpriced.

The best by far.....!!

Diner Review №160

Diner Review №161

Great Thai restaurant. Perhaps the best one out of all Thai restaurants in the inland empire. The pad Thai I ordered is actually very spicy and they don't hold back. Their signature dish, crying tiger which is a ribeye and rice was superb. I highly recommend this place.
