Tin Drum Asiacafé

Great place with great food. Good prices for the quality and quantity of the dishes. I had the Peking Short Rib Noodles, it was great. We also tried the Crab and Cheese Spring Rolls, they were delicious! They even have a small assortment of teas to sample/​drink. We love it here!

This is the WORST Tin Drum I have ever ordered from! I have more Kimchee than rice and my egg is burnt. Portions are significantly less than the Roswell or Marietta stores. The young lady that answered the phone snickered at my complaint. No, I don’t want to drive 15 mins back to your store to get my dinner made again. I will NEVER be back to this location.

Yuk. Long line. Poor service. Coupon for a $ 6 meal deal to them means you pay for the drink. Thought the «deal» part of it was a deal. Chicken was in huge chunks. No knives. Literally chunks. We are tearing it apart w our fingers. Won’t return. Thumbs down, down, down.

Meh. The service and food are both very inconsistent. The thai tea is pretty good, although not made with coconut milk.
I just can’t be bothered with it any longer.

Try the Drunken Club Roti as it is so good!!! Worth every bite. Also try the Street Tacos, got the Shrimp Panko Taco although I didn’t taste hardly any rice nor wasabi sauce. Will double check next visit but the food is good Asian Fusion. Had the Daikon Bacon Fries on previous visit and whoa it was spicy but good. Egg drop soup was okay but had better. Would love to see different salads and soups on the menu.

This place is a great stop for a quick and decent lunch. The food varies in style, but I have had four different things from there now and all of it was good. It is more of a fast food sort of place-​like Pei Wei, Panda Express, etc. They have a great basil fried rice that my kids love. They have a good variety of Asian influence… Thai, Chinese, Indian and they have tacos too! Prices are very reasonable. About $ 10 will get you a meal (huge portions) with a drink.

Hard to find parking, but super fast service and you can call and order ahead if in a rush. The food is great. I love the Kung pao chicken with fried rice and add fresh jalapeños, but that costs close to $ 12. I usually can make it last for two meals though and it tastes even better left over. This is a really cool place and this specific location is one of the better ones that I’ve been to.

I use to really enjoy this concept when it first opened… now not so much!
After a bad experience about a year ago I decided to give it another shot… bad mistake. I asked for a dish to be prepared «mild» and instead of rice or noodles I would like to sub mix veggies of any kind, can’t do that was what I was told (regarding the veg) and 2 bites later my mouth was on fire. I asked a staff member and she told me by asking for it «mild» he probably assumed I wanted it spicy #2??? That’s make a lot of sense. She then asked me if I would like a bigger cup for my drink to help with the heat… NO I want to be able to eat my food!!! Maybe next time it takes 2 years to fool me!

This is our go-​to place for lunch on weekends. Great for kids (they eat free all wknd with purchase of entrees) and the service is the best! You order, food is served to your table, and it gets cleaned up by the employees too (though we always try to clean up what we can). Food comes out quick, kids love the food (they ask to go every week), and us parents love it too (pad Thai with shrimp rocks, as does the Thai iced tea… Yum!).

Very very bad,. They add some very strange ingredients for flavor
Penang Curry. Coconut soup and Pad Thai all thevdishes wwre very unpleasant. Only Basil fried rice was acceptably tasty.
Thecstaff were also mot responsive.

The food came out hot and big portion. Taste is on a regular level. Service was fast and friendly. Their food is not authentic Asian food so I wouldn’t expect much. If you just want a simple easy meal then this is a good spot, plus free wifi! Kids eat free Sat and Sun. I had Tin Drum rice dish and kid’s teriyaki chicken and it was a generous amount also on a saucier side. It hit the spot.

First time I went, when they were brand new I just wasn’t that familiar with the menu and ordered the wrong thing… didn’t like it. Have begun going again recently (with some coupon incentives) and found a dish I cannot get enough of! I am obsessed with the pork banh mi tacos. The bite size chunks of pork are tender, rich, flavorful and generous. The sauce is rich, deep, sweet, and spicy, but not too spicy. These delectable, tender chunks of pork are piled high into a grilled flour tortilla and topped off with tender threads of pickled carrot and daikon radish. The sweet vinegar pickled veggies cut through the richness of the saucy pork. Also finished with a drizzle of siracha mayo (?) And a few leaves of fresh cilantro and a couple slices of jalapeño. The tacos are bursting with flavor and so deliciously saucy it takes a bit of gusto and a lot of napkins to eat them with your hands but they are sooo worth it. I normally don’t eat flour tortillas because no one grills them. and I cannot stand the gummy, wet texture of «raw» flour tortillas so I was pleasantly surprised to see Tin Drum puts them down on the flat grill for a nice crispy golden brown texture. I dream about these tacos. I could eat them every day. I’ve only ever had very nice service and nicely hot food delivered quickly by very nice helpful and friendly staff. I am taking one star off for sticky wood tables though. The last two times we’ve eaten here the wood tables have felt sticky so please take care of this. Until then… people. don’t be afraid. Order the pork banh mi tacos and sit at a stainless steel table. I don’t think you’ll be mad at me.
***Update Aug 23^rd, Sadly, the Banh Mi tacos are not on the menu anymore. They told us they ate getting new menu items tomorrow but wouldn’t elaborate.: (

Very generous portions, amazing penang curry and pad thai. I felt the food was better than a few thai restaurants in the area. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Not a right choice of Asian dine… I ate much better ones up in the north… Dint feel value to the money i spent…

The food tastes really good, I freaking love the Pad Thai with tofu.

We LOVE this place. I recommend the Massaman Curry and the Tikki Masala. The kids love the Sesame Chicken and Pad Thai. Get a white chocolate fortune cookie as well. Kids eat free on weekends. Yummy!

No option for zero stars huh???
I’m writing this review as I sit in Tin Drum with a bowl of cold food in front of me. It was sent back because it came out cold (my wife watched as our meals sat on their counter for 5+ minutes after it was actually ready). When they finally brought it out we sent it back and were told they would make us a fresh hot bowl. It came out again… Cold again! They didn’t even try. As I write this, I’m overhearing the table next to us complaining about the same issue.
If a restaurant can’t handle making your food hot, what else are they dropping the ball on? Food safety? Cleanliness? I, for one, won’t eat here again and I wouldn’t recommend you eat here either.

The service here is always the best… The staff is always so friendly and the food flavorful and always hits the spot.
The Sing Chow Men Noodle is my go to dish. It’s magic and spicy, but be careful, it will stain your clothing (lesson learned). If you’re one of those people that like to brag and say stuff like, «Nothing is ever too spicy for me.» then you need to first, stop talking because no one likes you and second, tell the people at Tin Drum that you think you are a spicy bad-​ass… they will make you cry with the additional level of spiciness; I know this from personal experience.
If you’ve done a considerable amount of drinking and the next morning you decide to skip breakfast ‘just in case’, I’m going to recommend a wonderful hangover dish that’s not on the menu: plain fried rice with extra egg and FRIED chicken. The chicken has to be fried… this is the key to getting over your hangover and moving on with your life. It’s a great mix of soul food in a bed of delicious carbs. Perfection.
Lastly, you must get the crab and cheese rolls… at least three of them, per person. Think of it like a fried cheese stick on steroids because it’s made of cream cheese instead of mozzarella and it has chunks of crab. You can skip the sauce they give you with it… They are a stand alone delicious snack that need no augmentation to assist their deliciousness.
I have had mistakes made to my order, but, based on the amount I eat at Tin Drum, the percent mistake rate is less than 1%.
The bottom line is that people who are not going to Tin Drum are not living their respective lives to the fullest; I feel sad for those people.

Don’t come for the Phở because they do not sell it anymore (but it’s still on their menu). If you like spicy noodle dishes try the Spicy Spaghetti! I had to add Sriracha to get to my preferred spiciness level but it was a great dish! Disappointed in their B rating, did not notice until after I ate my food. Hopefully they can clean the place up. Nice, quick, casual lunch place.

Tin Drum Curry, with extra sauce. That’s what I’ll get when I come here until the day I die, or at least for the next few times I go. Although I wish they added a little more chicken, the coconut curry is delicious.
I’m not sure if they might be in some sort of weird construction season, or rebuilding time or whatever, but the décor needs to be updated for sure. The plywood on the walls along with bits and pieces of drywall flaked about just needs to go.
Overall, love this place and will frequent it often for lunch during the work week.

The food is alright. Simple flavors. Nothing special and I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing it get replaced with another small cafè.

Stopped in before hitting the theater, and I was pleasantly surprised. Food was pretty good, an very reasonable. Sure, it’s not my favorite Thai, but it hit the spot and for quick and easy, it was just fine. Husband got the massaman curry, and I had the Thai chili taco. Both were pretty good, and they have bottles of sriacha to add some extra flavor to your meal. The curry came with a big side of rice, so it was filling. The only thing I have to truly complain about is the bathrooms. Please someone clean up those bathrooms! The women’s room was disgusting! Seriously the floor had muddy tracks all over, and paper all over the floor. Come on…

Just okay. I wouldn’t order the phở again.

I’ve had lunch and dinner here a few times over the past couple of years and most recently last Friday.
Great noodle dishes, big portions.
The coconut soup is ok, but I would prefer bigger portions on the soup and that the added tofu wasn’t fried.
Good place for a quick filling bite before a movie @ the AMC or before shopping.
