Good spot if people want a variety of items. Pretty extensive menu and order at the kiosk. We came for boba and they have an almond milk option, but not everything listed on the menu was available. Friendly service and good amount of seating. Smelled great and was making me hungry. If we didn't have plenty of food back at my cousin's place would've definitely ordered something. read more

If you like chicken dishes that taste like old fish and one of the key ingredients (the "MANGO stir fry" (without mango) completely missing (not one single piece) then this will be the place for you. Apparently they use fish sauce... which I love, but not when it's used as the main ingredient in the sauce. We called to inform the manager and he hung up on us. Both my partner and I cannot get the taste of fish out of our mouths. I had to throw it immediately in the trash. It's a franchise so don't even bother to try to get help from management when your food is disgusting. It tastes like old shrimp, which makes sense because a lot of fish sauces are made from it. I will never order from here again. That was a nice waste of an hour wait for it to arrive. I've completely lost my appetite. Oh, and this was an Doordash order so it just goes to show how much they care for the food that you're paying extra money to eat after waiting all of the time it takes to get it. Posted a pic of what I thought I ordered vs. what I got. read more

Food was delicious! Clean sitting area. Outside seating also. Lots of parking. Took less than 10 minutes to get my food.

This restuarant is in the same lot as Whole Foods 365 therefore parking in this strip mall is easy and plentiful. Tin Drum is a restaurant serving Pan Asian food. So you'll be able to sample many different types of noodle/rice dishes as well as stir-frys. If you love boba tea, you'll be delighted to know they have a small to medium selection. We ordered Tonkotsu Ramen with Char Siu. I like the serving portion. Looked small but actually very filling. The noodles were sufficient. The broth was tasty but could do with less salt. The egg that came with the Ramen was hard-boiled, I wish it was soft-boiled (6-min egg) but it's ok. I loved the bean sprouts, green onions in there - lifted the dish. The Char Siu was seared to perfection. The other order we had was the Chinatown Lo Mein. Again, the serving looked small but was sufficient. Overall a little sweet, which is unusual as most Chinese noodles aren't made sweet. Thus this was a twist to the dish that I did not like. We also ordered 2 drinks: Yuzu Lemon with Strawberry Popping Boba & TDAK Dragon Fruit Fizz. Both were too sweet. I took both home and added more ice & water - 4 drinks for the price of 2! Yay! I wished I could request for 50% sweetness. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! This is my final sign to stop eating out for lunch. Literally, I have been striking out all week. I spent $23! For a bowl of rice, probably equivalent to 10 cents of what they paid for it, meant to be fried rice which I asked for, it was white rice, and less than a middle finger, exactly what Tin Drum gave me, amount of chicken. It was supposed to be sesame chicken, no sesame at all. I paid so much for nothing. I'm really upset and need a refund. Food worth half what I paid. Now, the service, or lack there of. This place is so cheap, they charge for everything and give nothing. I wanted a drink, $3.25. I want a side of sauce that they could have given on the side? $2. For it to not even be good food, they have lost it. FYI, Yelp needs to not partner or offer codes for this place because I checked in, it said free crab cheese roll. They did not honor it. I don't think I have ever been somewhere so cheap they did honor a Yelp check in promotion. The crab roll was as small as your thumb, and not even good, because I paid for one. I already spent $23, you refuse to honor that a $2 nasty flat crab roll? New low. This eatery, because places like this need to be called what they are, a place to eat. They're not even on par to be referred to as restaurants, is trash. No exaggeration. The entire staff is trash. The dude with the dreads, the fake manager with the braids, the owners relatives in the back cooking TV dinner food for over $20 a pop, they are all awful and corrupt and have such nasty, don't care, attitudes. I remember Tin Drum opening at perimeter years ago. It was better service and quality. I'm mad at myself for giving them my money. Never again. I will be requesting a for a refund. I didn't finish the food. Do not ever eat here. Go hungry first. They price gouge and wouldn't give away a prayer even though it's free. Horrible service. I know customer service is dead especially at these eateries, but this is a new level. Just nasty. Negative stars for this one. read more

First time at this location. I ordered online, and picked up my order inside. I only ordered the firercracker cauliflower, because I've been craving it soooo bad and saw that they had it! I will say, although I ordered online, I did have to wait an extra 5mins before my food was ready. Other than that all was well. Customer service was good for a busy BUSY Friday evening. It seemed clean inside. it was sooo busy, but the workers got the orders out the best that they could. The cauliflower was 9/10 so good and spicy, but really really good. I wasn't even tripping that it wasn't chicken. lol. I recooked trying it! read more

I've come here a lot (since ~2020). As of 2026 the ambience is the same (nice space and decor) but the food and service have declined significantly. Today, I got the Phuket Woon Sen with pork belly. Smaller portion than a similar dish like this from a couple of years ago. No sweetness options for the bubble tea ... 1,000% sweet is the only option. Those bottles of sriracha that used to be set out for customers to use? Gone. The cashier, probably not totally to blame, was working like she was looking forward to quitting. I could almost taste the sadness and misery in my food. There's been a lot of predatory investor take-over in this area, where original founding teams are replaced with opportunistic owners and bare minimal upkeep. Unfortunately, this Tin Drum location seems to be a reflection of that. read more

This place is lame. Their other location near Children's Hospital rocks. Soup was cold and took them way too long to hear up. Also employees seem like they could care less about actually helping you. Other place so friendly and incredibly nice. read more

Tindrum is one of my favorites! I love the teriyaki wings and the Singapore curry chow mei. Are my go to's. The food is always fresh and hot cooked to order. The crab rations are pretty tasty too. I've been going to Tindrum for years and glad to see more locations. read more

Not enough protein in my food and the curry was sweet. No eggs in the rice. Barely any sauce for the rice. For $16 it wasn't worth the money. The place looked modern for sit down. Service was ok. read more

The food and service is always good. Avoid delivery services. If I were in the restaurant they would not have been able to forget the rice of one of the entrees. Once contacted, they remade the missing egg rice. read more

Came here with a bud of mine. I got mango chicken with rice and a Boba drink( can't remember the flavor). Everything was extremely tasty. It was so good that I made another trip in 2 days after my first visit to get more. Next time im back in the A....its on again. Customer service was friendly as well. read more

Nice customer service as I was greeted promptly. My Japanese Chicken Teriyaki was cooked fresh to order and it was brought to my table in less than 10 minutes. This was my first time having the Japanese version of this dish. Very flavorful but next time I'll add shrimp! Nice relaxing ambiance and the music wasn't bad. I'd also like to commend the staff for the cleanliness. read more

Was here this weekend. Not crowded. Ok service, honored companion request for no sesame seeds in entree. We had lettuce wraps but they used iceberg instead of butter lettuce. Much harder to wrap and crunchiness of Iceberg interfered w the nice flavors of the filling. Also the napkins are pathetically small. I had food all over my hands due to "stiff" lettuce. read more

Food was horrible! Not fresh and very salty. Won't ever eat here again. Really sad was hoping to have a great meal.

Just picked up food from this location. Girl taking order had ZERO customer service skill. Order was wrong AND cold. Not surprising since I watched order-taker hold my bag while she continued chatting with her co-workers. I regrettably left a tip but let me give you one.... DON'T EAT HERE. read more

So I gave this Tin Drum location another try and I'm glad I did. My experience this time around was the complete opposite from the last visit. I saw that they had an updated menu with new additions like bubble teas and vegan appetizers so I took a chance and made an online order. I want to start off by saying Tin Drum might have the best Asian restaurant on-line ordering period. It was so easy to scroll and look at all the food options without having to click a bunch of buttons. Also when you find the entree item you are looking for they have the options broken down with proteins, grains or greens, sauces you want to add and anything that you want to remove from the dish. The part that made me most happy was that you have the option of selecting the level of spice to your entree. Their website is so impressive and many restaurants could take some well needed tips. My meal was ready earlier than the website said it would be. When I came in to pick up my order the staff was super friendly. I ordered the Phuket Woonsocket Sen and it was made perfectly. The dish was moist and super spicy as I requested. I can't wait to get back here so I can try some of the new appetizers and bubble tea. read more

This place is right down the street from my gym and I've passed it a million times. I finally stopped in on Monday night. I'm assuming the evening is their busy time because it took a while for someone to take my order, the to-go orders were stacked up and it got more crowded as I waited for my food. I was hoping there were more ramen options but I only saw 2. I ordered the spicy miso chicken and potsticker ramen, the crab and cheese spring roll and a mango passion fruit black tea. -The potstickers are delicious! I wish I ordered more of them on the side. The filling had really nice flavor and the crust was slightly crispy. -The crab and cheese spring roll was also good but the cheese over powered the flavor so I couldn't taste much of the crab. I'd still order them but if you're looking for a strong crab presence, I didn't get that. -The mango passion fruit tea was exactly how I like my teas...refreshing and not too sweet. read more

I placed an order with them on Uber Eats. The uber driver picked up the food and canceled the delivery. The app kept assigning new delivery drivers and they kept cancelling. One of the drivers finally told me that the uber driver stole my food. I called the restaurant and told them they need to verify pick ups so that uber drivers don't steal food (my family owns a restaurant and does this) and I told them that they should make remake the order to have it delivered. The manager says it's against their "policy". It's nonsensical to have a policy like that when using Uber to deliver food. If that's the case, they should not use third party apps. The manager was very cold about it too. Never ordering from there for how this was handled but I'm sure they don't care based on how she handled the situation. If a small business can remake food that was stolen, they can too because the customer was not t fault but they made it seem like I was at fault for ordering on ubereats in the first place. I really wanted that ramen and milk tea too. read more

I recently stopped by for a taste test extravaganza! The Chinese Sticky Pork Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, smothered in a sweet and savory sauce that's seriously addictive! They were perfectly paired with a side of crisp sautéed broccoli & peppers and a serving of fluffy rice. The Japanese Teriyaki Fried Rice with salmon was bursting with savory-sweet teriyaki goodness, and the General Tso's Wok Wings delivered the ideal balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. And don't even get me started on the Boba tea--perfectly sweet and refreshing, it was the ideal way to wash down all those bold flavors! Tin Drum's menu is your ticket to a global culinary adventure! They offer a wide selection of bold dishes and the option to build-your-own stir-fry with endless possibilities. Their 1000° hot wok infuses everything with incredible flavor--definitely living up to their motto, "A Thousand Degrees of Flavor!" These dishes are literally on fire! Service is fast and friendly, and the ambience is chill read more

This was our first experience at Tin Drum. We ordered takeout with the FREE cheese and crab egg roll (simply check in on app) chicken lettuce wraps, Spicy chicken and potsticker ramen, and fried Chicken Ramen as well. Free egg roll was my favorite. The lettuce wraps had a good flavor. They need some TLC though. The crispy noodles were on the bottom aka soggy noodles. The chicken was flavorful and tasted good while hot. The lettuce part was a hot mess. Instead of giving you lettuce leaves, they hacked a poor head into parts and wrapped in plastic wrap. No wraps just pieces. Kills the whole effect. The ramen is a new dish and seasonal apparently. The chicken alone was basic fried chicken bites same with the potstickers. This protein does not pair well with ramen, gets soggy real fast and needs a flavor punch on its own. To me, honestly, the 1.50 ramen packs from H Mart tasted better. Soy egg was well made. We will try again as the sandwiches looked good. Not your new ramen place! But, a good choice for a quick meal at an affordable price read more

I visited Tin Drum to try their returned "Wok Wings and Boba Tea" and when I say they were realllyyyyy good! I mean that. The Decatur team was on point with providing fast and friendly service. I went right when they opened to avoid a crowd but it was super chill and low traffic for dining in but to go orders were constantly coming and going! The team did well juggling both while also making sure everyone present eating in was attended to! Now, I'll say this... I didn't enjoy every flavor but my favorite was the Orange Pepper. It's a dry rubbed wing with a mango sauce (I wasn't a fan of the sauce) but the wings were perfect for me since I don't like wet wings. I actually enjoyed all the boba teas I got lol! I got one of each type so I had a milk, fruit, and slushy. My favorite was the slushy one... I think it was mango but whatever it was, it had ice cream and was literally TO DIE FOR! All in all, I would recommend giving your nearest Tin drum a visit to try these limited time items! read more

I've dined here countless times at this location. Service is usually prompt along with my usual order of Thai Basil Fried Rice with Chicken.

We ordered the ramen but instead we get instant ramen noodle. I can't believe they use $1 instant noodles and charge people $16 per bowl.

I stopped in today for lunch and ordered: - crispy chicken potstickers - firecracker cauliflower - general tso fried chicken with white rice - beef pad Thai - Thai basil fried rice with grilled chicken - 3 drinks Out of these items, the potstickers were the only edible part of our meal, however they were luke warm when we received them. The white rice in the general tso meal should have been fresh yet it tasted like 2 day old rice at minimum. It was crunchy and stale tasting. Additionally the general tso was so spicy you could not taste it, even though we requested the lowest heat level. The pad Thai tasted like ketchup and the beef tasted off, and was in giant chunks that had a weird, chewy texture. The rice used in the Thai basil meal was also stale and crunchy. I'm disappointed given I spent $73.44 + 13.60 (tip) and was unable to enjoy any part of this meal. read more

It's the full Asian experience for those of us who need to get it and go. The menu selection has something for everyone, my personal favorite is the Panang Curry King, chose the medium if you like a spicy kick to it, the shrimp and chicken options are out of this world! The portions are good (falls short when you order with Uber Eats) and the ingredients are fresh and as close to authentic Asian street food you can get without a ticket and a trip to Thailand for me. read more

I ordered pad Thai and Singapore noodles with fried chicken for both on uber they had a deal BOGO but after eating it I almost had diarrhea within 40 mins. I didn't blame the food immediately but the next day my brother ate my leftovers and it messed his stomach up for the rest of the day. If you are going to order don't do it on uber eats they might be giving out old batches of food read more

I ordered Chinese Noodles. Delicious! I didn't enjoy the chicken. It was bit too peppery and the texture was off. So I would try a different protein or go vegetarian. I ordered a side of spring rolls and the crab Rangoon rolls. Both were delicious, I ordered another order. If you check-in on yelp you get a free crab Rangoon. read more

Tin Drum used to be reliably mediocre. Now it's inedible. They also seem to be rationing sauces. No soy sauce or Siracha on the table anymore. Just tiny packets if you ask for them. I ordered the kung pao chicken. The chicken was pre cooked, spongy and just tossed into the weirdly sweet and not very spicy sauce. The three peppers in my bowl were burned yet tasted like chemicals. I left after two bites. read more

My BFFs & I stopped in after our Stone Mountain bike... We visited around post CoViD 1st re-opening phase, early Jun 2020. Seating indoors was not allowed but we sat outside. We ordered several items so we can all share it. We all ordered something w/ Chicken & after tasting my dish, I had to try every1 else's chicken and they all had the same taste... like freezer burnt chicken;-( Their customer service was really great but the food was memorable for the taste w/ an after taste I won't forget. Maybe they had to rush w/ the defrosting process but it didn't taste to great;-( read more

Staff is unprofessional. Walked in and no one was there at the register and did not come out to assist for about 5 minutes asking if I was picking up or placing. Then stated someone will be with me or I can use the new order screens and walked away. After waiting more time for them to come back so I can ask if they had what I wanted because I didn't see it on the menu. She then states they were out of it. As I was leaving someone walked in and the same person offered to take their order. A complete waste of my time. If someone was there doing their job I wouldn't have spent 15 minutes standing there for no reason read more

I called on the phone and asked for Chai tea boba and I spelled it for him so he didn't get confused with Thai tea and guess what I got THAI TEA plus their miso ramen is supposed to have potstickers and soy ramen but my potstickers were missing and my egg just just a normal hard boiled egg???? Also the spinach was just thrown there like what's going on?? The miso is usually my go to and the spinach is always blanched???? When I went to pick up the food I saw my drink was clearly not what I ordered and I told the cashier and she just looked at me like I was crazy but I was already running late for work so I walked out with the wrong order and I would've let it go if it was just the drink that was wrong but it's the food too like I'm so done with the place!!! read more
