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.

Tables and kitchen

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.

Everything was packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and the portions were generous. The BBQ pork is tender, sweet, and savory, the garlic noodles are rich and incredibly satisfying, and the chicken dumplings are the perfect appetizer. The staff has also been accommodating with my shellfish allergy, which I really appreciate. If you're trying Food Terminal for the first time, this combination is a must. I'll definitely be back--10/10!

We started with the dumplings, and they were fantastic--perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. For our main courses, we ordered the Beef Noodles and the Pork Noodles, and both dishes were outstanding. The noodles had the perfect texture, the flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the portions were generous. Every bite tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. We also shared the Mixed Fried Rice, which was excellent. It wasn't just a side dish--it could easily be a meal on its own. It was loaded with ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and had that authentic wok flavor that makes great fried rice so satisfying. The service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and efficient without ever making us feel rushed. Our server checked on us regularly, answered our questions, and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively, modern, and inviting. Even though the restaurant was busy, it was well organized, clean, and had a great energy. It's the kind of place where you immediately feel comfortable. If you're in the Sandy Springs area and enjoy Asian cuisine, Food Terminal is absolutely worth a visit. Delicious food, generous portions, excellent service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

Went out for a little birthday lunch today and decided to try this restaurant last minute for some…read moreramen. I have to say, it was a 10/10 experience, especially when it came to the customer service! I really wish I had gotten our server's name because she was absolutely fantastic, along with the rest of the staff. You go girl. She wished the birthday girl a happy birthday, and later on, she actually got the entire staff to come out and sing Happy Birthday to her! That was such an unexpected and thoughtful surprise because, honestly, nowadays you usually have to ask for birthday celebrations, and we didn't even care to do that. So for them to do it on their own made the experience even more special. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. The appetizers, food, and drinks came out quickly, and everything was served with great service. The atmosphere was cute and cozy, too. The parking lot was a little full, but we did go during lunchtime, so that's understandable. I will say, the chef special does have a LOT of garlic confit in it, so you definitely have to like garlic. That said, it's not an overpowering raw garlic taste--once the garlic is cooked down into a confit, it becomes sweet and adds a really nice flavor. It's good, but definitely something to be aware of if you're not a big garlic person. The broth had a nice little kick to it. My only wish was that there was a little more meat. Overall, the customer service was seriously amazing, and I would definitely come back just because of how well we were treated. Great food, fast service, friendly staff, and an unexpected birthday surprise -- what more could you ask for?
