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

Probably one of the best meals I've had in Salt Lake City to date. It's inside square kitchen which has a few other concepts so it's like a mini food hall easy for everyone to find something they enjoy. I got the Bao buns per the servers suggestion. They were so warm and flavorful they had a delicious broth inside and came with a side of chili oil. I had the Dan Dan Noodles for my entree the meat was very savory and well balanced with the perfectly cooked noodles and bok choy, the peanuts give it a nice crunch. The portions were massive easily two meals in one. read more

Came in on a Sunday evening. We were notified the kitchen would close at 9pm, even though the hours for the establishment online state 10pm. We ordered crab rangoon dip and two of their asian fried chicken sandwiches. The dip would have been amazing but it was drenched in sweet chili sauce which took away from the rangoon taste. The chicken was juicy and cooked excellent, but the fillet itself had no seasoning at all. The restaurant is inside of a brewing company location so it was eclectic and modern. Waitresses were very friendly. Food has a lot of potential. Minor tweaks could definitely take it to the next level. read more

Dan Dan noodles and crab rangoon dip were delicious! The flavors and aroma of the Dan Dan noodles reminded me a lot of my Taiwanese friend's cooking. Place may be hard to spot because it's inside Grid City but there is a tall "dK" sign visible from the street and parking lot, and a fold-up "Welcome to Drunken Kitchen" sign outside the entrance door. Also this place checks your ID before you're allowed a seat, so leave the kids at home. read more

I liked this place. The food was pretty good. I'd say it's not as authentic as other Thai/asian restaurants. I had the Dan Dan noodles and really liked them. It's in the Grid City Beer building. I was a little confused when I arrived. So, it's basically grid city but with better food. read more

I haven't left a review in a long time, but drunken kitchen made me want to! This Chinese Taiwanese fusion spot is absolutely amazing. The handmade pot stickers, noodles, and pork buns are next level.The Pot Stickers are seriously the best I've had! We tried the Marinated Cucumbers, six hour smoked Sticky Ribs and the Vegetarian Pot Stickers (partially gone before I could get a picture)! The Dan Dan Noodle was my favorite, and the Mongolian Wagyu Beef Cheek was incredible. Aspens cocktails at the bar looked just as good as the food. You can truly taste the love in every dish. Highly recommended!! read more

Grid City still exists, but the restaurant portion is now leased to Drunken Kitchen. It looked like you could still order any of the Grid City beers/seltzers from the brewery, but I'm not sure if the beer flights are still available. The vibe of the restaurant was very hip and young. I love that is still 21+. I tried the mapo tofu and swapped out the rice for the handmade noodles. I really liked the noodles, but think I would have enjoyed the mapo tofu dish more with rice due to the consistency of the sauce - it was a bit difficult to eat and the sauce was runnier than I had anticipated. It was very flavorful. The service was good, and our server offered some suggestions. My husband enjoyed his Dan Dan Noodles, but said he thinks he would have liked the vegetarian version better. We both would have liked more vegetables in our dishes. We both had to add some spice to our food, so if you enjoy spicy food make sure you get at least a medium and maybe some spice on the side. The food was a bit pricey, but we both got two meals out of each entrees. The food quality was good. The cocktails were very pricey and even the mocktails were expensive. It would have been nice to see more NA options. Overall, we will be going back to try this place again. I like that the menu isn't too extensive and that the vegan/vegetarian options were clearly labeled. Note- the handmade noodles do have egg. read more

I had high hopes but wasn't blown away. Everything was good, but for the high prices especially, not great. More affordable options nearby in China town with more authentic and robust flavors. $12 for 3 pork buns and $24 for Taiwanese beef noodle soup that we were bored of halfway through and didn't care to take home the leftovers. I like the concept of the brewery mixed with an asian fusion restaurant but next time I'll go get my noodles and buns from Chinatown. read more

The food was good but our server Izzy stole the show. We love a well dressed beauty. And Izzy was so sweet, so helpful and so on top of it. Definitely would come back. read more

If you are looking for authentic Taiwanese food this place IS NOT IT!! We ordered the beef noodle soup and there was no beef flavor. Mostly tomato flavor. The dan dan noodles were lacking flavor as well. Definitely not worth the price point. I would go to any other Taiwanese restaurant over this one. I have never had a worst experience. read more

Super authentic Taiwanese and Chinese food. Great service and vibes in Grid City. Definitely a place to go back to.

Food is a literal 11/10. This is the best, and most intentionally curated Chinese food I've ever had. Staff were a lil awkward but very nice. Drinks were also bomb. But the food fr fr 11/10. read more

i really wanted to like this place but man was it disappointing. the service was great, our server was kind and knowledgeable about the menu & the wait time wasn't too bad at all. everything was unfortunately flavorless. we tried the dan dan noodle, which was the best part of the meal. the pork buns were recommended to us but they were lacking flavor and i wasn't a fan of the texture of the bun. the steamed buns at the chinatown deli are 100x better for a 1/4 of the price :/ we also got the duck salad which i thought the salad itself was alright but there were only two tiny pieces of dry duck on top which was incredibly lackluster. for the price, i expected a lot more from the food. read more

Drunken kitchen surprised me! Their food is authentic Chinese and Taiwanese cuisine and there's a lot of great dishes. My favorite was the family style fried rice that was loaded with eggs, chicken, tofu, shrimp and sausage. I also enjoyed their bone in short rib soup that had a beautiful presentation and included a huge beef rib bone. Their fried chicken was also yummy as well as their pot stickers and pork buns. I was brave and tried their new menu item: fried frog legs! They really did taste like chicken! The people at Drunken kitchen are very friendly and knowledge about their food. Drunken kitchen is in a little food hall in South Salt Lake and it's nice and cozy inside. Their portions are huge and are perfect for sharing with friends and family. read more

I will start by saying that the Dan Dan noodles were very good. I heard the table behind me saying that their chicken was very dry, but well seasoned. However, the wait time was way too long--especially for a casual ordering joint. The one server was also the cashier, and he was doing the best he could. We were told the wait would be 20 minutes after we had paid and placed our order, but the wait ended up being closer to 45 minutes! We had plans, so we had to throw our food in to-go boxes and weren't actually able to eat after being at the restaurant for nearly an hour. When we did try our food, I'm not sure I would say it was worth $20 a bowl. It was tasty, but everything on the menu was so much more expensive than China town down the road. The restaurant was clean and the food was fresh. If you're patient and not starving, the noodles might be worth your time. read more

The staff was friendly. There is a parking lot right next to the business so it's easy to find parking. The portions of food were decent for the price but all of the flavors were lacking. We got the dan dan noodles and the Taiwanese fried chicken. The chicken was salty and missing the fried basil. The noodles were too dry l, even after it was mixed, and just overall lacking in flavor. read more

Nice food. The dumplings and the quarter chicken I got was tasty. They have a good beer selection. The staff is very friendly. I wish as a place that sells alcohol, they'd stay open a bit late. read more

We ordered the beef noodle soup and pork belly over rice for takeout. It took around 40 minute for it to come out, but it was sooo good!! I've only had beef noodle soup a couple times so I don't know how it "should" taste, but this was my favorite one by far. The beef is soft and almost falling apart and the soup is very flavorful. It's tangy and tomato-y with a good amount of mala spice. The pork belly over rice was also delicious. The marinated egg!!!! It really hit the spot. Portion sizes were also great for the price. read more

I follow Drunken Kitchen on Instagram, so I've been meaning to stop by one of these days and my dad wanted to grab lunch so... We ended up here! Walking in, I could immediately tell that this would be a great bar to hang out with friends. It's spacious and the menu has a lot of small bites that would be excellent for sharing with friends over a couple drinks. My dad and I ordered some stuff to share, mainly their fried chicken, Taiwanese pork belly, and three cup chicken. We were surprised when the fried chicken came out because we were expecting something more like popcorn chicken or something bite-sized, but they were full drums. The fry on them was excellent, but we weren't a huge fan of the sauce. It was super vinegary and we honestly only ate it with the chicken because the seasoning wasn't mind blowing. However, I am a huge fan of both the pork belly and three cup chicken. Both dishes were excellently prepared with a flavor that will remain in my mind for a while (my mouth is watering just thinking about it)! Overall, I'd say I am a fan of Drunken Kitchen and I'd love to take some friends here for dinner soon! read more

Drunken Kitchen - Inside - Chinese Near Me - Salt Lake, Utah

i feel like drunken kitchen is kinda in a weird place, but enjoyed the upstairs patio still. just funny to be looking out at the mountains and then there's all these big store signs and stuff. they bring the food out as it's ready but then it kinda felt like it was coming out in a weird order. the order we received the dishes was the marinated cucumbers, dan dan noodles, pork pot stickers, and the taiwanese fried chicken. everything was super solid, but the pork pot stickers coming out later felt weird to me for some reason. also they were a lil pink on the inside because they're so big and that kinda freaked me out a little. the marinated cucumbers were some of the best i've ever had and the dan dan noodles were homemade and delicious!! great place to go with a group of people and eat family style! read more

My son and I enjoyed the handmade Dan Dan Noodles and great service. I am excited to return and enjoy more of the menu.

First time eating here, the food was amazing, had the fried chicken appetizer, and it is a meal in itself, then ordered the chicken fried rice, and the braised beef rib noodles. This was enough food to feed 4 people. The service was amazing, and the food was incredible. Definitely will be going back. This place is inside Grid City Beer Works, very clean and the atmosphere is great. read more

Great food and atmosphere . Food is excellent and the size Perfect. We meet the owner. Very friendly and helpful read more

They moved to Grid City Beer Works and I was SO disappointed. I didn't enjoy my experience. First, it's annoying that you need to bring a physical ID when you're just getting Chinese food. After seated, we waited for a long time before the waitress came to get our orders. The Taiwanese Fried chicken was a bit dry. The sizes are not very even either. The drumstick I got was much smaller than the rest. We got the Twice Fried chicken wings as well and honestly, other than the parts of chicken and the sauce that came with it, there wasn't much difference between the two. I was especially disappointed by the twice fried chicken wings because they were not as good and crispy as when I had them in the previous location. The wings were what made me wanted to travel all the way to slc to come again, but I didn't like it much this time. I saw a lot of people working at the kitchen and not the chef/manager and idk if that's why the quality has gone down. The pan fried pork buns were supposed to be one of their signature dishes, but they didn't taste good. They were dry and the buns were very thick. The Three-Cup chicken was just alright, but definitely not worth $20 considering both the quality and quantity. The chicken needs to have a stronger taste. The rice tasted like leftover rice. It's also hard to eat using the plates they gave us. Providing bowls would make it much better. I honestly loved my experience at Drunken Kitchen before, but I won't be going back. I hyped up this restaurant so much and brought my friends with me, but we were all disappointed. read more

The ambience inside of Grid City is so fun! Large projector screen. The food is good. The ribs are the best! Wings were good. But ribs were fire. The rice looked so good, have to go back to try it tho. Great service Carlos the waiter was so nice and attentive! Thank you for the great food and fun! read more

Drunken Kitchen - A delicious flight of GC beers. Delicious ribs & tasty wings! - Chinese Near Me - Salt Lake, Utah

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with hospitality and a perfect balance of bar/open floor. Grayce, the GM, was incredibly kind and accommodating. Aspen was working bar and blew us away with their cocktails and service, spending time to talk to everyone and make sure we had everything we needed. The friendliness of all the staff together and everyone waiting on you makes it feel fancier and more welcoming than a regular bar. The dan dan noodles arrived shortly after being ordered and were the best noodles I've eaten in all of Utah. The chef Tim, made time to talk with me and ask about our food. Also shoutout for all the vegan options. Service, food, and drinks are all here and I will be coming back and can't wait to see how this place evolves! read more

Dined at their new Grid City Beerworks location tonight and I was blown away. Fried chicken was juicy, crispy and so flavorful. There was also lots of it--6 pieces! The Dan Dan noodles were the perfect spice level at medium and the bok choy in there was a perfect combo to the juice of the pork and the spice. I also am a sucker for a generous peanut garnish. So so good. My husband got a beef noodle soup and he basically polished it off despite not having a ton of room from the chicken. Easy to make a couple of meals from leftovers or share with your friends. Get there early because the word has gotten out. It was packed. I can't forget service because our server was amazing. Despite the volume of diners, she was checking on us and had great suggestions!! I love a knowledgeable server! read more

Loved this meal! Warming, comforting and delicious food, with authentic Sichiuan flavors (finally a real Mapo Tofu) and the pork belly dish was to die for. definitely coming back for those cold winter nights!! read more

Best food around! Chinese Taiwanese and all the between they have incredible crab dip. Dan Dan noodle is my go to level 3 w the beef broth and they always deliver! My fiancé loves their beef Taiwanese noodle soup. read more

Service was meh and food was mid. Noodles tasted great though but would not go back. We ordered the pork belly dish. Braised eggs had a little bit of its shell still on it. Pork belly had some of its hair on it still. Dan Dan noodles tasted good, wish there was more option for meat other than pork on the Dan Dan noodles. Server seemed annoyed that we weren't sure of what to get and never offered to see if we needed anything else besides what we ordered. read more

This once was an KFC? Now it's 2 different establishments in one, so don't get confused! Not really a restaurant but it's pretty clean inside. Wife and I got the same dish the noodle soup, it wasn't bad by any means but if you don't like tomato broth this definitely isn't for you! Also it's hard to choke up 25$ for a bowl of soup... Is it worth it? No..... The staff was very pleasant, but definitely a one hitter quitter! read more

They moved their restaurant to a 21+ bar. So don't try to go here if you have kids. Used to be a good spot for a quick dinner, unfortunately won't be back. read more

Visited them at the new spot located at Grid City and was pleasantly surprised with the food options. I got the Dan Dan noddles priced at $20. Don't let the price fool you, the serving is really filling and I ended up having enough for leftovers. I did get some side sauce since I felt it was missing something. Overall, excited to go back and try more of the menu. Wishing them much success! read more

Wonderful experience! Cyrus was an amazing server, very helpful and attentive. we had the Dan Dan noodles, marinated cucumbers, and the three cup chicken. Unfortunately we ate too fast to take any photos but the plates are empty :) Will be back soon. read more

The food looks good as well the the dumplings taste good. Everyone should try this place, they make good food. It has plenty of parking. The one star missing is it took more than 20mins for them to make it, i am a cook myself in Downtown slc and been working in the kitchen for a good amount of time, 20mins for a friedrice is bad especially when you only have 2 tables. Overall, this company Hired an amazing staff which makes the experience more enjoyable. Worth a try, good food and has a very strong potential read more
