Honestly I was convinced they would go out business back in 2020, months the food and service just was not good. But they redeemed themselves. The workers actually seem to like their job now, and the food? I'm never complaining when we come here to eat! They must've started paying the cooks with gold bars or something, because the food when from 0-100 in the best way possible. The boba is pretty good too, just wish I could get a smaller size. read more

Food quality is about the same but they screw up your orders. For example, I ordered Ramen and they served it to me without a spoon. The egg in the ramen was pathetic. It was hard boiled instead of soft boiled. It had not been marinated in tamari and mirin (etc) long enough to darken the yolk. The plate of Singapore chow mein has changed to include cilantro which we requested to leave off, plate arrived covered in cilantro. For years, the main reason I came to tin drum was to get their Thai tea. They did away with it. Now they bait you with cafe du monde cans on every table but no coffee available. Bottle drinks are $2.95. Place is loud and echoes. The person taking orders does not acknowledge you. We thought for a minute we just had to put an order in on the screen that was looking towards the customers (us and the 6 people behind us). We started tapping the screen since the person behind it was clearly not capable of interacting with us, he turned the screen off on us. Yeah, I may try another location of Tin Drum to see if they had their tasty Thai tea but I won't be back to this one. read more

I really like the Hong Kong chicken with rice. It's always so crispy and seasoned so well. It's so delicious. And costs around $15. A little bit pricey but I'm ok with it since it's stayed consistent throughout the years. They aren't a boba shop so it's not that great but it's also an option if you're interested in that. read more

My husband has purchased from here before, but this time I went. I had downloaded the app and received a free drink. So we ordered. I ordered Orange Chicken with White Rice. For my free drink, the server Andrea A. assisted me with selecting a Boboa Fruit Tea mixed with Black Tea with Strawberry and Mango Syrup and Strawberry pearls. Oh was it the best choice and delicious for my first time! The ambiance was inviting and trendy. There was plenty of space and seating to dine-in but we chose to eat at home. read more

I love all kinds of Asian foods, but this place is horrible. I was talked into trying it on 3 different occasions and was grossly disappointed every time. Close to inedible. Never finished a dish... couldn't bring myself to it. read more

Confession time - my husband and I go here weekly. We truly love it that much! Typically, we'll either do date night here and eat inside and then walk across the street for a movie at AMC, or we'll get takeout/delivery. We've had great experiences in all three situations, and probably get takeout most often. Their service is always quick and everyone behind the counter clearly works as a team and helps each other out. They do have limited seating on a busy day/night, but we've never run into the issue of not finding a table (it's usually just two of us though). My top three favorite dishes are the Chicken Lettuce Wraps, the Citrus Pad Thai, and the Chinatown Lo Mein. I get a cup (sometimes a bowl) of the Thai coconut soup (tom kha gai) every.single.time. It's my absolute favorite - especially in winter. Their recipe just hits it out of the ballpark and makes my tastebuds dance and sing! They also have a ton of Boba and Fruit Teas, and they even sell Hi-Chews candy in store (IYKYK). read more

Tin Drum Asian Kitchen - Quachin' Mango - Chinese Near Me - Cumming, Georgia

Despite being a chain, this was my first time visiting one of these locations. This location was a bit difficult to access since it's in the Collection at Forsyth. There were no spots near the restaurant when I went so we parked near the movie theater and walked over. It was pretty busy inside as well. We placed our orders and it took maybe 15-20 minutes to receive our food. I ordered the Phuket woon sen and it was very tasty. For the price ($10.50 + $1.50 for protein) you get a decent portion but probably not enough for leftovers. My only complaint was that I ordered grilled chicken with my meal and my friend got fried chicken for the same dish. The price to add chicken was the same ($1.50) but if you ordered fried chicken you got a lot larger portion. I would say the dish had double the amount of fried chicken than grilled chicken. read more

Tindrum Asian Cafe was honestly such a great experience. The food came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor, and everything tasted amazing. The portions were solid, the service was quick, and the whole place had a really chill vibe. A big shoutout to my server, Ethan Christopher Quach, for being super friendly, helpful, and making the experience even better. You can tell this place really cares about both the food and the customer service. Definitely one of those spots you end up craving again later. Safe to say... I'm Quachin it. read more

We love Tin Drum. It's fast Asian fusion. We go before a movie usually. Portions are large. Food is fresh. Area is ultra clean. You can adjust the level of spice in each dish. I have had several different dishes. Rice. Noodles. Soup. All excellent. Be sure to use their app. You can get free stuff. read more

I'm a huge fan of Tin Drum! I was sad the Johns Creek location closed. I make the trek to Cumming just to visit this Tin Drum location. Service and food quality has been consistently great here which I appreciate so much. The portions are good too. They also do a nice job from order time to when your food is ready. I love how it's made on the spot too and ingredients are fresh. Some of my favs here -crab and cheese spring roll -chicken wings- good size and flavor -firecracker Brussel sprouts- packed with flavor -curry- pair it with chicken or shrimp -Singapore noodles- pair it with chicken or shrimp Writing this review is making me crave Tin Drum. Keep up the great work, Tin Drum! Hope you're around forever ever. read more

I don't know how this place doesn't have 5 stars ‍ My food was ready super fast, the food was delicious and healthy (if you get sauce on the side) and using the app, there seems to always be something free! The sweet and savory chicken hits the spot every time and the side salad was better than expected with the hidden basil and cilantro The girl at the counter didn't know how to ring up my free salad but luckily the manager was right there to assist quickly. Great job. Lots of great shopping around the area so great location. Ambiance was chill. read more

Make sure to check your order before you leave if you're ordering to go. We frequently end up with chopped green onions on orders where we specified no green onions. Today both of the items we ordered were not correct. One that shouldn't have had chopped greens onions did. One that should have had double fried tofu had none. Shouldn't be this difficult to get our food correctly as ordered. read more

Though I'd like to say this is a pretty average Americanized "Asian" food place, I find this location underwhelming in comparison to its other locations. The food came out unusually fast, and that was an intentional use of the word "unusual." The food tasted like a meal I would try to cook at home for myself for the first time and purposefully not share. The spices felt unbalanced and the cooking process felt accidental. DISHES: we ordered special curry dish as well as the Singapore noodles with tofu. There wasn't great depth of flavor in either, and the tofu was a bit overcooked and reminded me of the dishes I used to eat that made me question returning to eat the soy product again. SERVICE: It was unmemorable at most. Like many order-at-the-counter spots, the initial order is the only time for any interaction with staff. The person that took our order was polite enough, yet not particularly cheery or helpful on the customer service front. ENVIRONMENT: Tin Drum locations have this metallic, industrial vibe to them, but I find that even the Georgia Tech location masters it better. It seemed cold in temperature and the chairs were resultantly uncomfortable. There was an odd smell that wasn't inviting to come and eat. The place was clean enough, but not a place I'm thinking of returning, especially given the number of surrounding restaurants in the Collection. read more

Before I get into my rant, let me preface this, I do really like this place. I come here with my friends all the time and I personally love it. Other than this time. I ordered tonkotsu ramen which is fine, but there was one thing missing. One crucial element to the beloved tonkotsu ramen. The tonkotsu ramen consists of many beautifully crafted elements from the delicious broth down to the char-shu pork (if that's what you order). There's so many elements and flavors to this ramen it's unbelievable. But when this one ingredient is missing, it ruins the whole dish. That ingredient, is the soy egg. This egg, while simple, inflates this meal from a cheap flavorless ramen into the most perfect bowl of ramen you could have in Cumming, GA. I came here with 4 of my friends (so 5 in total), and we all ordered either tonkotsu ramen or bangin' miso ramen. As the ramen rolled out hot and fresh from the kitchen, we were all joyous to dine in. Sweat dripping from as our saliva piled up in our mouths. This was the moment we were all waiting on, time to feast! (or so we thought...) 2 of the 5 bowls didn't have the beloved soy egg. Meal destroyed. Day ruined. Never, and I mean never, coming back here again. EVER! A bowl of ramen without an egg is like the NYC skyline after 9/11. Something's just missing. Beware before you enter this building, or you will be shocked when your juicy delicious soy egg has gone missing. Safe travels. Pictures below for evidence. read more

I came here because one of my friends loves this place and was craving asian food. When I walked in, I saw that they have a few asian snacks like bags hi-chews. As a huge fan of pad thai, I had to try theirs. Like any other place, you choose your choice of protein which determines the price of the food. I chose the sautéed chicken, which was flavorful and amazing!! The pad thai was very citrusy, which is perfect for me, however, there wasn't enough meat in it. I got like 5 pieces of chicken and that was it. The portion of the food was perfect, and filled me up the right amount. There are no fountain drinks, but they have bottled drinks and bubble tea. I saw that a lot of people get their bubble tea, but I stuck with their bottle drinks. Try the bottled mango peach (or orange... cant remember) tea!! Service was decent. They also have outdoor seating. Overall, I would come here again, and maybe try their bubble tea!! read more

Andrea helped us to select the awesome dishes here . Must try place for fried rice n chicken.

This really is a great concept but the taste and quality is just not even worth one star. 4 food orders at the same table came out pretty much cold. Tofu in one dish was solid cold borderline frozen with the rest of the food luke warm. The bubble tea...terrible....undrinkable. Asked for a new bubble tea as the one received tasted like old sour milk and was told no sorry we can't do that, you have to order a new one. We were told only a manager could approve a potential remake but probably wouldn't do it either. When asked for the manager we were told there was no manager on site. The place is run by teenagers who can't prepare the food at proper temperatures, cant use the bubble tea wrapping machine, can't handle issues and doesn't appear trained to handle complaints. For the same price paid for a lunch order, we will go to a quality that restaurant and get truly good food prepared at safe temperatures. read more

Yesss! Employees are allowed to breathe!!!! I love that management allows them to have NO masks! The happier and healthier the cooks are (with more oxygen), the tastier the food!!! 5 stars on Fast service!!! Happy staff! Taste is above decent. Not perfect, but no regrets! The food is more towards a 4. It's super Americanized, but pretty good even so. For being a chain, it's worth it. And it is better than Panda Express. Pay a little more but freshness is there. Panda does lots of GMO making you feel so lethargic after. Not here. read more

Tin Drum is one of my and my family's favorite fast casual restaurants. They serve up hot and tasty Asian (fusion) food! We have yet to dine at the restaurant, but have placed to-go orders a few times and have ordered through Uber eats several times. I'm actually embarrassed to admit how many times exactly. When we don't feel like cooking and want something quick, flavorful, and fairly priced we go to Tin Drum! We've tried just about everything on the menu: stir fry, curries, noodles, soups, and apps. Lately, I've been ordering from their vegetarian menu, which has a pretty decent selection. They don't offer many if any vegan options. Hopefully they will in the near future. Our orders are always prepared with care and accuracy. The portions are generous. The staff we've encountered during pick-up is friendly. read more

It's a good place for affordable Thai food! They removed my favorite menu item massaman but i tried the Bangkok sweet curry chili which was good! Lots of spinach in the bowl so I got my veggies for the day! It was ~ 10$ per curry bowl. Also- if you get their app they give you a weekly free reward so I got the fries for free! Nice little rewards system to save a few dollars! The ambiance is very casual. They have outdoor seating also (sat outside and got bit by lots of mosquitos). Good place for a quick and inexpensive lunch/ dinner. read more

I have been eating at Tim Drum for over 10 years. Service has always been great and consistent. The inside decor can be upgraded a bit as it has been same for over 10 years as well. The cumming location has the least quantity of food out of all locations I have tried (John's Creek and Dunwoody) and it's getting even smaller with each passing day. Just fyi - Post CoVID we pay atleast 20-30% more for food here. read more

I used to love this place, but these has gone downhill recently, the portions reduced a lot while the quality gas gone down a little. The service has stayed the same, and so did the ambience.

Another fake Asian restaurant. Staff is nice, the place is clean, location is good. That's pretty much it.

I ate here the other day and it was good. I came back today and ordered the same thing (the Japanese teriyaki rice bowl) I was served a soup of rice, 3 minuscule strips of chicken and teriyaki sauce. So much sauce that the bowl was filled half way. Disgusting. read more

Not a bad option if you're in the area doing some shopping and seriously craving some flavorful Asian food. I like the different options they have and they seem to be very creative and packing a punch (if you so desire). My criticism comes in the freshness. The past two times I visited I waited for my food expecting that, since I'm waiting, I'm getting some fresh dishes. What I got instead looked (and tasted) as though it had been scraped from the bottom of the barrel. It wasn't horrible, but also wasn't great. With that said, I'm sure I will try them again in the future with hopes that they change my mind on their consistency in the quality of the food -- because when you get it fresh, it can be very good! read more
