Literally the best food I've ever had! I would do crimes to get my hands on a Dan Dan noodle and some pot stickers. Throw a beer in there and I'm going to straight to jail. Not only do these guys know how to cook but they treat you like a KING. This place has my heart read more

There is not a single thing on this menu that isn't just delicious, it's mind-blowingly delicious. My husband and I like to joke that there's a Utah 5 stars and then there's a California 5 Stars. This place is a California 5 F*CKING STARS. Flavors are intense, authentic, and out of this world. They have plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options, their portions are HEFTY and the service is top notch. Last time we visited we were served by Izzy, who is a hoot and a half and provided stellar service. Thanks for the awesome time Izzy! We'll be back to try your new cocktails soon. :) read more

This has been on my list for a while, and the food did not disappoint! We sat outside on the patio since it was such a beautiful day and seriously the best views of the mountains! For food, we ordered the potstickers to share, Dan Dan noodles (spice level 2), and the three cup chicken. Everything was delicious! The potstickers were good, but I personally prefer them a little crispier, these were more soft and chewy. My husband actually liked them that way though. My Dan Dan noodles were super flavorful, and spice level 2 was perfect, I wouldn't go higher or lower. My husband liked his three cup chicken, but didn't realize it came as a full chicken, so it took a little work to eat. Also, they didn't give us utensils to use, so we had to ask for them. Our friends really enjoyed their meals as well. We'd def go back! read more

Finally tried this place out after seeing them all over social media. We went hoping to get Duck Fried Rice, only to discover it was a seasonal item no longer available. We opted for the Mongolian Beef and Sticky Ribs. For the good - the cocktail and beers = excellent. The sticky ribs were out of this world delicious! Do not skip them! Mongolian beef though.... Was super disappointing. The beef was so chewy and tough it wasn't even worth finishing. Hopefully we will be back to try other menu items! read more

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Don't skip on: 3 Cup Chicken, Dan Dan Noodles First time trying out DK at their restaurant and was a fantastic experience! The last time I had their food was when they were still working out of their commissary, so I'm glad to see they've upgraded and their menu has expanded! We tried a few dishes including the pan fried buns, mapo tofu, 3 cup chicken, and Dan Dan noodles. Everything was delicious! My *only* complaint is that you had to pay for extra rice. It costs so little, so I'm sad to see that you can't ask for more without an additional fee. The rice that comes with the dishes is about a cup worth and not quite enough to go with the entree (sauce/meat ratio to rice was off). Other than that, we had a great time. The staff were very welcoming and our server, Izzy was great with recommendations and was also very patient with it being our first time at the restaurant. He recommended "seasoning" a simple Coke and ginger beer and WOW, it really elevated the drinks! Loved having him at our table and creating a wonderful experience. The restaurant was well-kept and I would definitely recommend and can't wait to come back. read more

I'd been craving noodles, so I was super excited when my friend suggested we try this place. The rooftop is gorgeous with AMAZING mountain views. It is a bar, so everyone has to be 21+ and have their id to be scanned. They have coverings for shade, and we were lucky to be there on a gorgeous day. My friend and I both got Diet Cokes, and they were both entirely flat and un drinkable. My husband liked the beer he got. We started with the potstickers. They were good, but I wanted them to wow me a little more. For my entree, I got the pork buns, and the were incred. The bun itself was incredibly soft and delicious. The meat in these was juicy and had a little kick to it. My husband got the beef noodle soup. This was my favorite thing I ate. The noodles are amazing and totally satisfied my noodle craving. The meat was also very tender, and the flavor of the broth was great. My friends got the veggie Dan Dan noodle and the three-cup chicken. I tried the Dan Dan noodle and thought the flavor was interesting. The noodles themselves were perfect. The chicken was work to eat but tasted pretty good. It is on the pricier side, but the portions are big. Services was okay. We had to ask for plates, utensils, and napkins. Chill vibes. I'd go back. I think it would be especially good in the winter as a cozy, comfort food. read more

Located inside of Grid City Beer Works. It's one of the best things the brewery could've done for itself as the food being made before Drunken Kitchen was incorporated into the brewery was not very good. I tried 3 items. Pork Pot Stickers, Taiwanese Fried Chicken, and Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup. The pot stickers were a good size and stuffed generously. I enjoyed them. The fried chicken was my favorite out of the three. Incredibly moist, out of this world crispy skin, and the sauce kicked it up a notch on the spicy heat scale. The beef noodle soup was delicious although the broth was very rich. Definitely can tell it's been braised for a long time. I was not able to finish it because of how rich it was. Which is not a bad thing. I did finish it off the next day for leftovers. Wouldn't mind returning to try other dishes. It is a little pricey for those who are on a budget. Just an FYI. read more

Found Drunken Kitchen on Instagram, and what brought me here was the Taiwanese fired chicken. Popcorn chicken flavors on a sandwich? Sign me up. Drunken kitchen is a pop up inside the brewery. Not sure if the owners of both are the same, but they run parallel with each other in the space. Food overall was great. Huge portion size so keep that in mind when ordering. All the food sound and are delicious, but you may be having a lot of left overs since they give you so much food. Braised beef noodle soup was comforting on a cold day. Beef was so tender, and the pickled veggies was a nice add into the soup. Takwense fried chicken was great. Massive sandwich with a ton of fries to come with it. I liked the sandwich but I think the avocado aioli wasn't needed. It kind of overshadowed the spices of the chicken. Drinks are really affordable here. You can get a 12 oz beer for $4 or a flight for $8 (with peanuts). Fun time here at Drunken Kitchen. It was a very memorable restaurant during my visit to Salt Lake. read more

3rd time was the charmed experience for us. We tried them when they first started at a different location and was not impressed with the dry pork belly. Then tried to try them last week but was sent away because our puppy lost his rabies tag. We brought proof of his vax this time. We got to enjoy the outdoors views, great food and service. Zoe took such great care of us and our dog. Bringing him a water dish and doting on in him. We recommend the pot stickers, fried chicken, friend rice and Dan Dan noodles. read more

Great food and great service. Ordered the pork belly, beef noodle soup, chicken appetizer, the bao bun, and the mapo tofu. The chicken was a little too crispy, and the bao bun was so so. The pork belly was amazing and the beef noodle soup was best I ever had even compared to the beef noodle soup I had in Taiwan . The mapo tofu was on point. Great flavors. read more

I don't get the hype. Despite the good service, the food is uninspiring. Their potstickers, for example, have been voted as the best in Salt Lake City, yet they proved to be mediocre at best. This is what we ordered: Pork Pot Stickers (D-): No flavor, somewhat soggy Vegetarian Pot Stickers (D-): No flavor, somewhat soggy Sticky Ribs (D): Stringy and chewy, way too lean, flavor was off Dan Dan Noodle (A-): Our favorite dish, quite good Gluten-Free Dan Dan Noodle (B+): Good flavor Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly Bowl (D): Little pork belly bits that disappoint Mapo Tofu (C-): Mediocre. Even PF Chang's version is vastly superior Fried Rice (D+): Not flavorful at all Egg Plant Katsu (C+): Creative concept, but nothing special So only their Dan Dan Noodles past muster. We will not be returning to the Drunken Kitchen. read more

I've been curious about this spot since I drive by it every day on my way to and from work. It was a little underwhelming for my expectations. The prices were higher than expected, however they deliver on quantity. The flavors contained a lot of ginger for the four appetizers we ordered. Every dish was very hot except for the sticky ribs, which even had spots in the middle that were just barely warm. The sauces on the bao buns and fried chicken didn't hit like we thought they would but added an interesting complexity. In the end, there was no doubt we were both full leaving Drunken Kitchen. It was also cool to see the waitstaff dressed up for Halloween, it added a nice touch! read more

I really wanted to like this place given the reviews I've read & the social media posts. Maybe it was just a bad night. Either way, I was really disappointed. It was my birthday dinner that my besties brought me out & we wanted to try something new. Place wasn't too packed but it was up & bumping as a bar should be. Really cute bar/restaurant shindig. Hostess got us to our table quickly & Izzy got us started not too long after that. Immediately, we were already told the fried chicken appetizer was sold out. Which was one of the things we really wanted to try. Bummer! No problem. We got half order of oysters, calamari, & sticky ribs apps to start. Oysters came out first, nothing exciting. Calamari came out later & it was fried to perfection with a little bit of a kick. Awhile later, another waitress comes to tell us that they are now sold out of sticky ribs. Disappointing given that the table next to us just got 2 orders of that. We then ordered pot stickers - which took much longer. In the process one of my besties gets her entree - DanDan Noodles. Then another 15-20 mins I get my Pork Belly entree. Minutes later, same waitress comes back to inform my other bestie that she regrets to inform her but they no longer have the Eggplant Katsu because it was either forgotten, burned, or sold out. Mind you, we didn't get the pot stickers but we just let them know to cancel it because we didn't want to stay any longer than we have been. This sweet waitress did her best to accommodate us by comping some apps & drinks & half off of the entrees we did receive. We were grateful. read more

I went for lunch with a friend and former coworker of mine a couple of weeks ago. Little did we realize it was inside Grid City Works, as we were both confused as to if we were in the right place. The "DK" logo outside of GCW helped a little. How had I not noticed that before? The food was really good! I did have to try the 1000 year old egg. That was quite interesting. I'd get it again. I went with the Pork Belly Bowl and my friend got the Beef Short Rib Soup. I did end up taking some of my food home since it was a pretty big portion. My friend enjoyed her soup too, and she ended up taking most of hers home too. She did mention that she didn't know where to start with her soup as it was a lot of food and it filled the bowl to the almost brim! The food was a little pricey, but overall worth it. And I didn't realize in the summer, they open up the rooftop for dining as well. read more

Having lived in Japan for 8 years and having spent a lot of time in Singapore, HK, Mainland China, and Korea, I love Asian food. I really really wanted to like this place. The entree prices are about $10 more than you'd pay in Chinatown on 33rd South and State, so thought: "This will be something special". I was wrong. I had the pork belly - honestly very pedestrian. Nothing special at all, small bits of pork belly with mushroom and bok choy in a overly heavy soy base. No nuance, no joy. Really disappointing. The jasmine rice was the best thing about it. My son had the mabo dofu. It was just "good", but China Taste in China town has better and its $10 less! Okay, I know its a trendy place and the microbrew vibe makes the prices more, but every table around me was drinking beer from a can. Say what??? I get that this is slow food, but very little communication from our waitress and one entree that came out almost 15 min after the rest. I still tipped 15% - I felt obligated. I just don't get it. It's got to be better to survive I would think. read more

Came here for a casual anniversary dinner. We got the Dan Dan noodles, Taiwanese fried chicken and a beer flight. The Dan Dan noodles were pretty good 8/10. Noodles had a great chew. Though we got a medium spice which was not too spicy at all. The fried chicken was more than expected for an appetizer but it was perfect to pair with the Dan Dan noodles. For the beer flight, it usually comes with peanuts but my fiancé and I are both allergic lol. Overall, the ambiance was fun and casual on a Wednesday night. Service was amazing. It's a cool hangout spot for a meet up with friends. Only downside was I was not expecting the price point. read more

I've been so curious about this space since it changed from being solely Grid City Beer to the Drunken Kitchen collab. Same space, same great beers, seltzers, and bar options, now with the food from Drunken Kitchen! I HIGHLY recommend the Dan Dan noodles here! Wow! They were delicious! So flavorful, the noodles tasted so fresh. I got the vegetarian noodles and the didn't skimp on the tofu. Steam bok choy was amazing. Highly recommend. Would also recommend the peach Bellini seltzer. Really yummy and not too sweet. Service was great - you can sit at the bar or get table service. Excited to come back here! read more

I've been eating here when it was at its old location. It was a shared space. I am happy to see it has moved to their own bar area! I greatly enjoyed their Taiwanese Fried Chicken. The seasoning is like Taiwanese popcorn chicken, which I am a huge fan of! I did notice they increased the prices on the dishes recently. Though that is unfortunate for the consumer, that's just the economy we are in. However, this place does not skimp you on quantity or quality! If you're looking for good Asian food with a nice modern ambiance, go here! The Dan Dan noodles were superb; they were soooo tasty and I like the texture of their hand pulled noodles. The short rib noodle dish is so ironic. As you can see, the rib is anything but short haha it was huge! The taste of that dish was very unique and pretty darn good. The service was fine. I will be returning! Solid modern Asian food spot. read more

Honestly I love DK! I have felt SLC has needed a solid spot like this. I love that it's now at Grid City. Convenient location with plenty of parking and super great suds to try as well. We have now tried a variety of items and have loved every single thing we have tried. I especially love the hand pulled noodles in the soups, and the fresh made potstickers also the marinated cucumbers are a nice fresh touch. The service is always friendly and it's usually quick and they have lots of beer and seltzers as well as a full bar. As far as ADA accessibility, it's easy to get into the first floor and the bathroom is accessible however, you cannot access the rooftop patio. read more

This was amazing. I've been to Drunken Kitchen twice now, and they have absolutely delivered. This is probably some of the best Asian cuisine in SLC. I have now tried a good amount of their menu, and everything has been above average to amazing. I highly recommend the dan dan noodles, the mapo tofu, and the bone in braised short rib beef noodle soup. The fact that they're located in Grid City is also amazing because their beers are top notch. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the menu and gave us great beer recommendations. It's casual but nice. Normally, beer bars or breweries have pretty mediocre food--but here, you can get the environment of a decent beer bar but with the food menu of a high, high quality Taiwanese restaurant. The only one thing is that because the food is made right, it takes a little longer. In my eyes, a small, inconsequential price to pay for some of the best food in SLC. read more

Drunken Kitchen - Dan Dan Noodle - Chinese Near Me - Salt Lake, Utah

A few standout dishes included the ribs and the dan dan noodles. Everything else was pretty good, but not remarkable. The fried chicken was a little bit disappointing, less flavorful than I'd have liked, and lacking a dipping sauce. The dan dan had handmade noodles, thick and chewy with a generous helping of peanut sauce: great attention to detail is easily observable in the house-roasted (or at least re-roasted) peanuts, our table concluded this was the best thing we ordered. The restaurant's union with Grid City is a great pairing, as it provides a dog friendly rooftop patio, and drinks to go with the saltier food. read more

Food tasted really great but the experience itself was kind of disappointing. For a place that requires an ID just to go in, they practically had no drinks on tap available. Any drink we were excited to try, they didn't have. Over half the tap drinks were unavailable. Service in general was not great and the waiter did not communicate with us at all. Also this place is extremely overpriced for the food you are given, I was shocked to be paying these prices for the portions! read more

Finally I was able to try out this place. I been following them on social media for a long time. They had amazing photos and great reels post. I was so happy when they finally got a brick and mortar sit down from their to-go order only. The location is next to a hotel on state right before I-80. It's a shared kitchen with a boba and Argentina place. The service here is very meh. The video made them seem very happy and excited to be there. But when I went, it seems like they keep rushing me through my order. And if you ask them for anything outside of the order they get really offended. I asked for a side chill oil and got scoffed and glared at. Now about the food. The fried rice is very gingery. If you don't like ginger you won't like this dish. The fried chicken is amazing. Crispy and flavorful. The mapo tofu is yummy. Flavorful, but does have a lot of ginger as well. The 3 cup chicken was a bit of disappointing. It's very watery, so the flavor isn't as strong. I think this place is amazing. Service isn't too great. read more

Came here for lunch and our server was a cool man with great recs. We got the spicy Dan Dan noodles and the Taiwanese pork belly. The pork belly is similar to "thit kho" a Vietnamese dish, except, the meat and rice were super dry and the bok choy did not complement the dish at all. The Dan Dan noodles' spice level was great, but the noodles were a bit overcooked and the meat seemed off. We paid over $20/person for lunch so had better expectations. read more

Been here a few times and the food and service has consistently been top notch. The first time, I ordered to go and the pork belly was some of the most flavorful dish I had in awhile. The restaurant itself is a small food hall in what appears to be a former fast food joint. Therefore, the ambiance is lacking with the bright lights and just in general not the most inviting dining area although attempts at sprucing it up is noted. I did notice on the most recent visit that the prices have gone up quite a bit. Yes the quality is great but it's hard to get consistent customers when entrees are nearing $20 even over $30 for a beef noodle soup to eat in a fast food dining area. We ordered the three cup chicken and the Taiwanese fried chicken with a side of bok choy. Everything came out piping hot and was flavorful although I enjoy the wings more than the fried chicken. However, the batter and both are spectacular but I prefer the flavor of the wings and the creamy sauce it comes with. They do offer specials if you sign up for their rewards so loyal customers will be back. I wish them all the best of luck because the food is that good, but the location and the cost is reasonably a deterrent for some. read more

Took 45 minutes to get fried rice, finally had to ask for it and it came sort of warm, very little chicken, asked for some sauce, got a tiny cup of pretty much salt brine. 2 bowls of fried rice so big it was enough for several people, wasn't even any good. Extremely high prices, 56 bucks for 2 bowls of bad fried rice and a beer. Not recommended! read more

Inside what used to be the second best KFC on State Street they got like 4 different restaurants in one location. It's nuts at first but when you let us marinate it works well Saw some ads on the good ol Gram and checked their page out and was hungry af from the pics and vids The dude that's on the gram is one of the owners and he's serving you at the restaurant! 5 stars for that alone! Booths are kinda huge like you got some space between you and table but it's ok not a huge deal The food tho! Chicken wings were big and delicious af we didn't like the sauce too much but on their own it was bussin Pork belly Taiwanese style was good af we killed that from the first bite. The smell and the taste matched so well we were sad we didn't order two of those! Dan Dan noodles with the pork was delicious af as well as the longan sticky rice. You could refill your fountain drink if you want or get another Mexican Coke for like $2 I forgot but that Taiwanese braised pork belly was smackin! Hella good we gonna go back and drop a c note for them things I miss it Great customer service, not too crowded it's cozy but spacey and the food smacks Ten outta ten my friend (make sure you just got paid or someone pitching in cuz it's pricey but you wallet won't cry too much cuz you stomach is happy ) read more

I came across their instagram profile and decided to come here for lunch before the flight. Food: I had the beef stew noodles and the fried chicken to go. They are definitely not traditional but I can appreciate their interpretation. It throws you off a bit in a good way. The broth Is complex and the noodles are fresh. It's a very generous portion and you may not have room for appetizers. The fried chicken is good but not great. The dipping sauce is excellent and it should be a mild hot sauce with a lot of complexion. I would buy it if it was sold as a bottle. Service: Everyone was nice and friendly and service is good. Ambiance: I was not expecting the restaurant to be inside a bar. I was a solo traveler. Don't bring anyone under 21 as the restaurant is inside of a bar. read more
