I'm not really sure what I expected when my fiancée said she wanted to go to Drunken Kitchen for her birthday, but whatever I expected, they absolutely exceeded it. From the second we walked in, we were greeted with so much warmth and kindness. Ray/Roy (I am SO sorry, I swear I tried to remember your name tag ), who got us seated, was awesome. Then Belle was our server and made everyone feel comfortable and welcome... even when someone at the table ordered butter noodles. The whole vibe was just friendly, laid-back, and genuinely fun. And the FOOD. So good. I especially need to give the fried rice its moment because I do not feel like it gets talked about enough in the reviews! It had a little kick to it, although I may just be a wimp when it comes to spice , and the portion was HUGE. I ended up taking almost half of it home. The only tiny heartbreak was that they were out of egg drop soup. But even my soup-related devastation couldn't take away from a solid 5-star experience. Great food, great people, great atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! read more

I'm from Southern California where good Chinese food is abundant. Every time I visit Utah, I always make sure to visit Drunken Kitchen. Sometimes I eat here two days in a row because it's just that good. The restaurant recently opened their doors to all ages which is a huge plus. But kids can only eat inside the restaurant (patio seating is 21+). Today, my family had the "DK Experience" which is a six course meal that feeds 4-6 people. It was PLENTY of food and everything was delicious. You do not need to order anything extra because it is a good amount of food. The best part is the duck - so flavorful and beautifully cooked. We spent about 2 hours here as each course is made to order, so be aware of that if you're also ordering the DK Experience. My favorite dish here is the Three cup chicken. The flavor has so much depth and is beautiful seasoned. Be sure to visit during their lunch happy hour for the best deals in town. Thank you Drunken Kitchen for cooking up the best Chinese food in SLC - see you next time! read more

This was my first visit to Drunken Kitchen located inside Grid City brew pub so I was excited to check it out. I was promptly greeted and the server was energetic and friendly. I told her it was my first visit so she reviewed the menu and gave me a few recommendations. Unfortunately the experience went downhill from here. I was dining with a friend for an early lunch. We ordered the pork pot stickers to share. Then we also ordered sticky ribs, chicken sando and egg drop soup. The server took our order and returned promptly with our drinks. After some time passed the server returned to inform us the ribs were sold out and provided us with a menu to look at other options. A little more time passed and then more bad news the egg drop soup was also out of stock. We declined on ordering anything else and I asked if my chicken sando was still coming and was told yes it's on it's way. Meanwhile we watched three other tables arrive and place orders and even receive their food and yet my chicken sando was still missing. I flagged down our server and again was told my chicken was coming. Another 15 minutes passed and still not sandwich. I politely flagged down our server and requested the check as our lunch experience had gone on for over an hour now and still our food was incomplete. We got an apology and the bill and began to exit. As we were leaving the server arrived at our table with a takeout bag with my chicken sando. I'm not sure what was happening on this visit but something felt very off at the Drunken Kitchen. First impressions are very important especially in a dining experience and this first impression was not good at all. read more

We were really excited to try this place after seeing so many great reviews on TikTok, but unfortunately our experience was incredibly disappointing. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about 45 minutes and that we would receive a text when our table was ready. We waited over an hour and never received a text. Since we were there with our 4-month-old baby, I sent my husband inside to see what was going on. The hostess's response was, "Oh my gosh, I forgot," with no apology. She then said, "Wait, let me see what I can do," but by that point we were so disappointed that my husband just walked out. Throughout the interaction, we felt judged and completely overlooked. Customer service is just as important as the food, and unfortunately we never even got the chance to try it. We left feeling frustrated and unwelcome, and sadly we won't be returning. read more

I love this place, great food, great service and great beer. Grid city beer is amazing. They just opened as a restaurant and it was much busier than I've seen it. Congrats for sure. I wish our service was a bit better this last time, maybe because they are still adjusting to the increase in traffic. The food did take a hot minute to come out, which was fine since we had some cold beer to enjoy. read more

Drunken Kitchen - Mapo Tofu - Chinese Near Me - Salt Lake, Utah

Came here for lunch with a friend on a Thursday and there was a decent amount of people for a random weekday! The restaurant is partnered with/located inside of Grid City Beer Works. There was plenty of seating! We sat at the bar, our server was great and attentive. They have restaurant favorites and drink specials posted on the signs. For drinks my friend got the Blueberry Lav French 75 and I got the Huckleberry Mule. Our drinks were great! I've also tried the Grid City Bubble Works canned drinks before and I'd highly recommend those as well! We ordered the Pork Potstickers, Marinated Cucumbers, and Dan Dan Noodles as was recommended by our server. The pork potstickers were super dense and the wrapper was tough, unlike most other potstickers I've had. The marinated cucumbers had a great texture, but were very salty. Our favorite were the Dan Dan Noodles. The sauce was flavorful and seasoned well. The only issue was how difficult it was to eat the huge pieces of bok choy. Overall, I'd definitely come back here for drinks and the dan dan noodles, but the other items did not live up to how I thought they'd be. read more

Went on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly. The main issues that we had were that the server didn't tell us that a lot of the things on the menu were not available, both food and drinks. So there were multiple times that we tried to order something and she would say "oh, we're out of that." That seems like something that should be mentioned up front. Other than that, the food was okay. They have a good selection of beers and seltzers. I don't know if I would go back though. 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

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

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

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

We have eaten at Drunken Kitchen several times as they have evolved from a pop-up to a brick & mortar restaurant, and we've enjoyed their take on Taiwanese flavors. We've liked the chicken sando, the dan dan noodles, and the mapo tofu. However, we just had an experience that will likely be our last time to do business with DK. We ordered dinner on Thursday via Doordash (previously, we've dined in the restaurant and done Doordash for DK). I placed the order at 2pm, with a 4:30pm pickup--so the restaurant had plenty of warning. Our driver arrived there promptly at 4:30, but they hadn't even started to prepare the food. He waited for almost 45 minutes for the food to be ready, and texted us several times to apologize. We finally got our food an hour after expected. I ordered the mapo tofu for my wife and the beef & broccoli for myself--it was a bit expensive at $31 but looked good in the picture. What I received was a small takout bowl, with 6-7 small pieces of beef and a few pieces of broccoli, with a fried egg on top and a bunch of sauce. I was shocked that this was what came at that $31 price point! I've seen similar dishes at other Chinese restaurants at around $15 for this portion size. The mapo tofu was cold--I presume it had sat on the counter while the driver was waiting for the rest of the order. My wife had to heat it up before she dared to eat it. So they were late and hadn't prepared our meal anywhere close to on time, the mapo tofu was cold, and the beef dish was a rip-off. That's it for us, we won't be eating at Drunken Kitchen again--there are other Chinese and Taiwanese options in town that have much better service and value. 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

It was an experience coming to Drunken Kitchen. It shares the same venue as Beer Works, so it was kind of confusing stepping in not knowing it in advance, but also there's no attempt at migling the vibes of Beer Works and Drunken Kitchen together. They're really just sharing the service staff and the space, and that's about it. We got there for a late lunch on a weekday, but somehow the wait for food was significant. It was not crowded at all, and I could see there was only 1 person in the kitchen so maybe that explained it. The braised beef stew was the star of the show and tbh it's the dish I've heard a lot of back in the days when Drunken Kitchen only took online orders. It was a gigantic bowl, full of thick big tender chunks of beef shanks. I only wish it was a bit less salty, i.e. we need a heart and kidney-friendly version maybe? The fermented veggie was very spot on, I loved it. The handmade noodles were good too. The braised pork belly was pretty delicious, though I find the accompanying rice to be lacking, and that to me is not ok, we asians could do better than that. Overall, the braised beef stew was worth the visit and I highly recommend it. read more

Asking for a friend?? Were the people cooking the food in the back drunk or what? Nothing came out at the same time at all how do we get the main course and the appetizer last??

Tried also leaving a review on google but you can't so have to do it here... anyways you get better noodles at Chinatown a few blocks away.. end of the night $118 dollars for noodles that taste like play-Doh and chicken that was greasy not worth it for a family of 3.. read more

It is easy to see why Drunken Kitchen has been named the best restaurant in the city for 2026. Everything we tried here was executed perfectly. The stars of the show to us were their noodle dishes. We tried their pork pot stickers and their dan dan noodles, each of which you could tell were made in house that same day with how excellent the texture of the noodles are. The potstickers are massive and paired with the dipping sauce, something I'd say is a must have from the menu. The dan dan noodles were packed with flavor. I opted for the medium spice level and found it to be a perfect level of heat for me. If you're going for lunch, the craziest deal on the menu is hands down their fried chicken bowl for just 4.99. When we saw that price, we assumed it would be just a couple of bites, we couldn't have been more wrong. The bowl came with 4 drums and 2 thighs. The chicken itself was crispy, juicy and oh so tasty with their house spice blend. To close out our already massive order we got the Taiwanese braised pork belly bowl which, to no surprise, was just as flavorful as everything else we'd tried up until this point. 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

Overall, the food was salty and mid. Our table ordered the marinated cucumber, crab Rangoon dip, Taiwanese fried chicken and Dan Dan noodles. The marinated cucumber had a salty soy sauce aftertaste, but had a nice crunch. The crab Rangoon dip was thick and tasted like fishy cream cheese. The wonton chips were crispy and crunchy. The Taiwanese fried chicken was burnt and had minimal flavor. The Dan Dan noodles were thick and chewy. The meat topping was oily and salty. Lasty, in the women's handicap stall in the bathroom there was a framed photo of a male waiter. This waiter was working and waiting on tables while I dining in. Never have I ever seen photos of male staff in the women's bathrooms. This was just odd. 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

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

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.

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

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'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

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

Saw this place on Instagram, and I really latched on to the chef's story, so we decided to come and give this place an honest try for date night. The first thing I'll say is that even though there is a big sign out front, It's very hard to tell that both locations (drunken kitchen and grid city beer bar) are within the same building. We got seated almost immediately and took a look at the menu, which was just as confusing as the entrance to the building. You do get handed a menu for the restaurant, but that menu is also available in the other menu for the beer bar. Now, to be 100% honest it was a little bit jarring that most of the appetizers were priced higher than most of the entrées. That didn't stop us from ordering two appetizers and a soup. We ordered the egg drop soup, pork dumplings and the sticky ribs and out of all three of these my girlfriend really liked the egg drop soup, but the pork dumplings that they said that they had received an award for we're better than average, but had a lot missing from the taste for me. The best dish that we had was the sticky ribs. They were by far the best thing. I ate three of the four ribs myself. We also ordered the fried rice, and to be honest, I don't know if today was an off day for the race, but it was hard to chew as if the rice itself wasn't done. It made the dish pretty inedible and we sent it back. As I said before, the chef seems like a very nice guy with a lot of good intentions, and we are rooting for him, however, it does feel like the restaurant has a little bit of work to do before becoming a regular in our rotation of restaurants. Totally open to redo my review in the future, but as of right now, it does seem like there are issues that do need to be addressed. 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

While the ribs, dan dan noodles, and chicken were spot on delicious... the amazing service was the highlight. The four of us were sharing plates to try everything that we could from their menu, including their chicken sandwich. They split the sandwich and served it in quarters on different plates... rarely do you get this type of service! I will say the sandwich was our least favorite and was dry. This place is worth your visit! 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

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

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

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
