Tin Drum Asian Kitchen & Boba Tea Bar - Georgia Tech

A love letter in dining: I wont be able to fully describe how life changing this restaurant is, but I’ll do my best. Tin Drum has a special place in heaven and my heart. Over the past two months, I have spent close to $250 on Tin Drum. The food is the BEST Asian I have had in Atlanta in two years. Hands down. The ramen with pork belly, Singaporean curry noodles, and most of all, Chinese-Mongolian stir fry with pork belly and mushrooms are incredible. With the brown sugar milk tea, Thai tea, or pineapple peach tea, it physically hurts me when I go a week without eating their food. Don’t be afraid to try their fried chicken sandwich and crinkle fries — better than any burger and fries I’ve had in a long, long time. Been hooked since the first time. Can’t describe how good the food is, only my photo album filled with Tin Drum can. The service is so fast, employees so nice, restaurant so clean, and energy both peace and alive. With only $10-15 per bowl, it is one of the cheapest options for good quality food out here. As a food loving Tech student, I’ve been to all Tech Square restaurants, but none of them compares to Tin Drum. Tin Drum isn’t just a restaurant— it’s a way of life. It’s my safe haven. It’s my home.

Great restaurant if you have a bit of time. Ordering was pretty quick because you use tablets. I appreciate that the water refill is accessible to anyone instead of having to ask someone to refill it every time like other restaurants. Our food came out relatively quickly. I got lo mein with chicken. The chicken was very good and the sauce was as well. For the price point, it has very good food.

I've ordered Bubble Tea and French fries many times. Today I was really hungry and ordered Basil fried rice and firecracker cauliflower. After taking out the second piece of Cauliflower I noticed there were two pieces of long black hair in it! This is so unsanitary.

We had never eaten there. As you walk in there were some tablets and no cashier. The ladies behind the register saw us standing in line and didn’t bother to tend to us for 10 minutes. She then explained that they do not have cashiers and that you order on the tablet. That would have been helpful to know. The food and drinks were delicious I wish they had one in my town. The service was not good but I think once you know how to order and that the “waitresses” are motivated there to assist then you will be ok. We did not wait long for the food. The drinks with some sort of bubbles were exceptional!!

During my first visit to Tin Drum, I had an amazing experience thanks to Stephanie and Jasmine! Stephanie was incredibly attentive and patient, guiding me through the menu with fantastic recommendations that made my meal selection effortless and enjoyable. Her knowledge and enthusiasm truly enhanced my dining experience. Meanwhile, Jasmine crafted a delicious fizz drink that perfectly complemented my meal, ensuring every sip was just as delightful as every bite. Their warm hospitality and dedication to great service made my visit memorable—I’ll definitely be back!
