Holy mushroom overload.

First time visiting tin drum, even though I have passed by it multiple times as I live closer to Kennesaw than this location. I placed an online order as I was a couple doors down getting a smoothie. When I went inside to get my order, no one was upfront, and I wasn't greeted when the lady finally came to the register. I told her my name and she handed me the bag that she had brought up front with her. That was it. No "thank you," no "have a good night." Nothing. As I was leaving, she also came outside and started talking to someone. Now this next part is my mistake. I did not check my food before leaving. A few minutes later, I'm in stand still traffic on the interstate, and I decide to take my food out of the stapled shut bag. I could see an overwhelmingly amount of mushrooms through the clear lid. I asked for NO mushrooms, and it is noted on my receipt! My fault. But I will definitely not be going back, so lesson learned at this point. I moved a couple of mushrooms out of the way just so I can get a bite because I was starving. The brown sauce was good though. Mushrooms were embedded throughout the whole container so I gave up after two bites.

If I saw some more freshly chopped green onions and had some stiff lettuce it would have helped.

They have too many different Asian cultures on the menu. The chicken lettuce wrap was tasty but the texture of the limp lettuce did not bode well for holding up the ingredients. The ingredients look like it came from a pot of mush then put on my plate. The Cantonese green beans were crunchy but I'm scared I might get high blood pressure from all the sodium in the savory sauce. The atmosphere is trendy. The young man behind the counter was very hospitable. He gave great service and brought my food to my table.

We came here for dinner this past mid-November on a Sunday evening. This Tin Drum location is in a strip mall with some popular businesses sharing the same free parking lot, but this was no issue since there were many spaces available. We walked in, and there was only one customer who was already there waiting for her take out order. There were only two employees, and one of them was just standing at the order counter. Apparently greeting customers wasn't included in her training because all she did was give us a blank stare - not even a smile, as if she didn't want to be there. R approached the order counter and said hello to the employee, and, get this, all she did was wave to him. Smh. She didn't say a word until he asked about a couple of menu items. We both ordered the Pork Belly Tonkotsu Ramen, which included pork belly chashu (braised pork), soy egg, bean sprouts, green onions, crispy onions, garlic oil, chili oil, broth and ramen noodles. In addition, R ordered a small Drum salad. We waited about 10 minutes for our food to be served to us at the table. We got the ramen, but didn't get the salad. R told the employee who bought our food that he had also ordered a salad, and the employee told him that she'd bring it out as soon as it was prepared. I thought the ramen was just ok. The egg was cooked perfectly, but it was cold. Nothing about the ramen stood out in a good way. 20 minutes after our ramen was served, right as we got done eating, R's salad was brought to our table. Maybe the employee thought that the salad was a dessert? Anyhow, she didn't explain the delay in bringing the salad or apologize, but, by this time, we didn't care, frankly. Our minds about coming back to this location was already decided. We're definitely NOT returning. Lots of tables for customers. However, we were the only ones in there eating. While we were there, all of the other customers (about 5 total) that came in were there to pick up their take out orders. Average food, terrible service.

The food was actually really good and was well prepared and quick to come out. It was nice and warm and the server was amazingly friendly and we had good conversations to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. The layout of the whole restaurant is just an amazing vibe when it comes to dining in. Definitely recommend coming here

Edible but not good. I really wanted to enjoy it. Here's my mixed review... Online ordering: Good, fast, and easy. Location: Lots of parking, free parking, in plaza close to interstate. Easy to get in and out of. Atmosphere: Really nice and clean in the inside. Looks like a good place to meet for lunch. Price: High for the quality. Food: Bland, chewy. Not good. I had the sesame chicken with fried rice. I did not enjoy it. My son had sesame shrimp with fried rice and he said it was ok. Service: The cashier was very nice and friendly.

We had a delicious yet quick meal at Tin Drum Asian Kitchen. The gentleman who took our order was friendly and made great recommendations. Good thing I like curry, because they are the only things on the menu that are gluten free! But seriously, the Bangkok Sweet Chili Curry with shrimp was so wonderful, especially with chili paste on the side. I was glad to have had brown rice as well. My husband let me share his caramel boba tea (one of few without caffeine), which was very sweet but lip-smacking. And my husband really enjoyed his pork ramen soup. The food arrived quickly and was nice and hot.

Inside has the classic Chinese restaurant vibe. We always get the fried fish maw with crab meat soup, which is very good especially if you add some red vinegar and white pepper. Salt and pepper squid is always a fan favorite. Well seasoned and comes with cabbage. The house noodles are great for sharing and is packed with chicken and seafood. The sautéed snow peas are favorably and pairs great with some rice. The seafood hot pot doesn't disappoint with how much they put in.

They kept coming over to make sure I was okay and to keep my water filled. It it in a shopping center so there is free parking. Going inside there are plenty of dining room tables for all sizes of groups. From the outside you can't see it but there is much more space than meets the the when you go in. Pork egg roll - the egg rolls were okay. They honestly were good but did that's nearly enough pork filling for me. You bite into it and it's egg roll wrap and mostly cabbage. But because of that the sauce they gave was useful. To be that big, they didn't have enough filling but it doesn't mean I didn't eat then (they were cooked to perfection though as far as the crisp and crust goes). General Tsos chicken - so the chicken was really good. Came with white rice and it was very plentiful. It was heavily sauced, so if you don't like as much of the sauce then you won't want this dish. The sauce was sweet and spicy and had great flavor. The chicken came in nice chunks (not like other places that may give you crumbs or super small pieces) and they definitely did not try to skimp you at all. Fried wonton - So the fried wontons weren't the move at all. They were fried extra hard. Hard enough to wear. You can taste anything but the fried crust and there was nothing on the inside. Having to bite into it. Just taste crunch and not flavor. Wasn't ideal. Overall this was a decent spot but the appetizers kind of let me down. The main was good and that would get me back in to try another dish.

The pace is fast in the restaurant and the service is attentive and once you order your food comes out quickly to the table. Every dish we ordered was delicious. It is one of those establishments that you want to hurry and eat as there are people waiting to be seated and you don't want to linger too long because that would not be fair to them. You have plenty of time and noone is rushing you you just know to be a decent human being you should eat and then leave promptly and not linger over empty dishes. Their portions are hearty though so you will most likely have take out to enjoy as well. I highly recommend this restaurant and if I lived closer I would frequent it often. I wish I could be more detailed about the dishes we ordered but I just don't remember but I still wanted to give them a good review. Just remember to be polite and not tarry like you would not tarry at a Waffle House when it is full because this restaurant is going to always be full I suspect!
