    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really liked the music they were playing. It wasn't too loud and fit the vibe well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They menu has lots of great appetizers as well as some chicken and rice and noodle dishes. The pork belly and kimchi was super good!!! The cheese corn wasn't the best I've ever had but it wasn't bad. The parmesan potstickers were really good, I just wish they had come with some kind of sauce. The wait staff were friendly and the food came out very fast! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The table we were seated at had some rice and a crumpled up receipt on the booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It the end of the world but it wasn't very busy so I would think they would have everything cleaned well before seating people. It was also a bummer that they served water in single use plastic cups. Other than that, it was good and I'd still recommend trying out if you're nearby and in the mood for some Korean dishes.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I really like the interior of this Korean restaurant. The walls have large, colorful, cartoon-y paintings. There are several TVs playing fun K-pop music videos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the Jinro Soju frogs they have up front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were greeting by a friendly girl, who was also our server. She brought us a carafe of water, plastic with a little Jinro frog on it. She was super helpful, and asked if we had questions about the menu, which has full plates, combinations, and lots of street-style food. We ordered some mango soju (similar to sake--kind of like sweet vodka). It was really good! Two of us ordered the bulgogi, and one ordered the spicy pork. Both came with white rice. I really liked the spicy pork, which had quite a hot kick to it. The bulgogi was good, too. The serving sizes where quite large, which was good because we had lunch the next day. The bulgogi was not quite as good as I've had in another Mesa restaurant, but it was still good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The fun atmosphere more than makes up for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been here before, and will definitely be back.

    What we got: Combo B (corn cheese, pork belly salad and soju bomb) $37 Combo C ( padak, French fries and a bottle of beer) Pineapple fried rice Takoyaki Literally have no complaints everything was great hear, kimchi fried rice had perfect amount of spice and flavor and the bacon pieces really give it a interesting flavor balance, corn cheese has the right amount of cheese were you never had any clumps of cheese and the corn was very sweet in flavor too yummy! There padak is soft and crunchy at the same time . The takoyaki had a good amount of octopus inside of them pleased with that as well this is a great spot I'll be back for sure

    I really liked it here! I had the Korean bbq chicken and enjoyed it. The flavor and texture was amazing. Many in my party were braver than me, eating stuff with fish cake and different drinks. I played it pretty safe but would love to go back for more Korean bbq!!! They had fun music paying and good service.

    Friend's order: Tteokbokki w/ ramen & cheese, Fire Chicken, Lychee Soju

    Came here Saturday evening with a group of 7. We've been here many, many times over the years. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a good spot for a casual night out with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Because I've been here so many times, I forgot to snap more photos of the food everyone ordered, including my own order, but managed to get one photo of one of my friend's order plus my to go order. We all arrived between 7:30-8pm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place filled up pretty quick afterwards![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food here is good. Im not a fan of soju though so I ordered a Lychee Makgeolli. I wasn't too hungry at the time so I ordered the Garlic Parmesan Mandu to snack on. Would probably skip this item next time. My friends all ordered different things. The Kimchi Fried Rice my friends ordered looked good so I ordered one to go. I tried a bite of my friend's tteokbokki with ramen and cheese as well. Was never fan of tteokbokki but I did like the ramen and cheese in the dish! I've had their corn cheese, popcorn chicken and soy garlic chicken as well before and those are pretty good. They have many different flavors of soju and makgoelli available here. If that's what you and your friends are into, then this would be your spot!

    I was visiting my friends in AZ, and we decided to come here on a Wednesday night - it was such a great choice!!! FOOD: What didn't we have? LOL - Ramen aka ramyun - Not like Japanese ramen. This is Korean ramen, and oh boy, it was yummy, and it was a generous portion. - Fried Mandu - average, I wouldn't buy this again. - Tteokbokki - we ordered this twice! Needless to say, I was impressed at how yummy it was. - Korea Red chicken wings - I was impressed with how much I liked the spice, but they aren't very big. - Bulgogi - This was good but it was no frills. DRINKS: I love Makkoli, and they have a Lychee flavor. This is by far my favorite flavor!! We ordered a bunch of Cass and Soju, of course. Reasonable pricing -- of course not as cheap as in Korea lol SERVICE: They are super chill. You're not going to get fine dining service because you're being served drunk food lol They may forget about you so make sure you flag them down. AMBIANCE: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Korean music and music videos are playing on TVs. Loud ambiance -- even on a Tuesday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not a place you bring your parents. This is the spot you come with your friends after taking an edible or to drink - a lot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Okay - so this spot is gonna be a new favorite and we found it tonight through a completely random search on yelp. We love Korean food so decided on pork kimchi fries, corn cheese, garlic soy chicken with seasoned rice. Could've cleared the plates, but can't wait to enjoy it for lunch again tomorrow! Kimchi pork fries weren't "level 3" spicy for us, but could totally see how someone who isn't into "spicy" food would think so - but we thought it was delicious & perfect spice for us! Service was fast and food came out quickly, that was nice because we were hungry tonight :) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the art/mural walls, fun lighting and music was chill too![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will def be back - thanks!

    I went to drunken Tiger with a Bookclub so I got to try a variety of their dishes. I thought many of their dishes were not bad, but I also wasn't super blown away by anything. I probably like the fried chicken the most, and I probably liked the tteokbokki the least.

    We're back again and this time we tried some new dishes. We got the spicy mussels and yang nyum chicken. The taste of the sauces are quite similar that we had to get the cheese corn to balance out the flavors. Which was the best move we made tonight. Their cheese corn is one of the best tbh. I can say the dishes weren't spicy this time around and we were both wondering if the chef had changed or not. Overall, glad we tried different dishes this visit but would recommend doing different pairings. (Don't order both the spicy mussels and yang nyum chicken at the same time ) For instance, get the corn cheese with spicy pork ,upon and spicy mussels. Or get the kimchi fried rice , corn cheese and fried chicken.

    I've never been big on tofu but I tried it. I'm still not big on tofu. But I tried it. I won't be trying tofu again for awhile. But if you like good food... After an unexpected layover at a local private airport, I found myself with a couple of hours to spare. Hungry and tired, I stumbled upon Drunken Tiger, a Korean restaurant not far from the tarmac. The experience was surprisingly refreshing, a perfect respite from the demands of flying. The moment I walked in, the lively beats of K-Pop music enveloped the space, infusing a vibrant energy that was almost palpable. It was a stark contrast to the quiet hum of my jet's cockpit and exactly what I needed to rejuvenate. The music, loud but not overbearing, added a layer of authenticity to the atmosphere. What truly set Drunken Tiger apart was its staff. Despite my limited time and obvious fatigue, they were incredibly accommodating, ensuring a swift but enjoyable dining experience. Their attentiveness and efficiency were remarkable, allowing me to relax without worrying about the time. Though I didn't delve much into the intricacies of the cuisine, the overall ambiance of Drunken Tiger made my brief layover a delightful interlude. It's a gem worth visiting, especially for those seeking a quick escape from the demands of a hectic schedule.

    Any vegetarian dishes?

    We have some vegetarian dishes, but if you ask, our servers and kitchen will be willing to help and accommodate your preferences

    Do you have a happy hour?

    We have gotten rid of our happy hour throughout/post COVID! At the moment we are still trying to see if we could potentially go back to it!

    Do they have tteokbokki?

    Yes, with add-ons as well! Check out our website for menu items!

    Is this place kid friendly?

    We are first and foremost a restaurant (more so than a bar), so we are kid friendly; however, keep in mind the later it gets the louder and more "bar-like" we become. We recommend that families with kids come before 9:00PM. Hope to see you soon!…

It's a seat yourself joint. Focusing seating around the focal point, the big bar area. Atmosphere is pleasant, spacious and welcoming! Decent selection of food options. Huge draft, craft beer selection. The staff is friendly & offers just the right amount of attention. You won't wait long to be welcomed, for your food, for a refill or for your receipt at the end of your dining experience. We started with their honey hot wings. Our party of three decided to split one of the numerous salads they offer & went with the steak & walnut salad. It includes grilled steak slices, blue cheese crumbles & crispy onion rings ( made in house) . The dressing was a light vinaigrette that made this a delicious & delightful thing to share amongst us all. For dinner we went with one of their "create your own" pizzas. Our favorite toppings are: pepperoni, garlic & basil. This was a great presentation & pie! From service to staff, to cooks in the kitchen we had a great dining experience! Everything was legit. We will be back to try a burger next time. This is a really cool place with a wide selection of outstanding food & bar beverage options. Highly recommend it.

Despite this, there was only one person working -- a server who was also acting as the bartender -- trying to handle everything. At one point, a woman came in to pick up a to-go order and stood waiting for quite a while. When the server finally got to her, she joked, "Are you the server, bartender, and cook?" His response: "I just don't cook." Her food still wasn't ready, so she had to keep waiting. I ordered a grapefruit mimosa, which cost $9.55 but was only about three-quarters full in the wine glass. Why serve it like that? It just felt skimpy. After finishing my drink, I sat for another 10 minutes waiting to close out my tab. This was actually my second visit. We came once before for dinner with friends since we all live in Mesa and thought the concept was cool and close to home. Unfortunately, the service then was just as bad, even with more staff on shift. I had hoped stopping in for a quick drink would be a better experience -- but sadly, it wasn't. I won't be back. It's a shame because the place has potential, but management really needs to take staffing seriously.

She was nice but seemed high. I ended up only having 2 drinks. We would have ordered more but they have 90min max seating and we didn't event get drinks for the first 30min. No exaggeration. Also one of my drinks I had to send back. My apple martini tasted like soap. It was like they did clean the glass after giving a soap bath. No bueno. So they need to get their service to match the vibe of a true cocktails lounge. Yes it is a 70s vibe but doesn't mean the lackadaisical style service. I would come back and try again. The music, the atmosphere and the food was good. They gotta get these cocktails together and service. We ended up walking to nearby competitors and that was money lost for DDG.
