Drunken Kitchen - Inside - Chinese Near Me - Salt Lake, Utah

Super authentic Taiwanese and Chinese food. Great service and vibes in Grid City. Definitely a place to go back to.

i feel like drunken kitchen is kinda in a weird place, but enjoyed the upstairs patio still. just funny to be looking out at the mountains and then there's all these big store signs and stuff. they bring the food out as it's ready but then it kinda felt like it was coming out in a weird order. the order we received the dishes was the marinated cucumbers, dan dan noodles, pork pot stickers, and the taiwanese fried chicken. everything was super solid, but the pork pot stickers coming out later felt weird to me for some reason. also they were a lil pink on the inside because they're so big and that kinda freaked me out a little. the marinated cucumbers were some of the best i've ever had and the dan dan noodles were homemade and delicious!! great place to go with a group of people and eat family style! read more

First time eating here, the food was amazing, had the fried chicken appetizer, and it is a meal in itself, then ordered the chicken fried rice, and the braised beef rib noodles. This was enough food to feed 4 people. The service was amazing, and the food was incredible. Definitely will be going back. This place is inside Grid City Beer Works, very clean and the atmosphere is great. read more

They moved to Grid City Beer Works and I was SO disappointed. I didn't enjoy my experience. First, it's annoying that you need to bring a physical ID when you're just getting Chinese food. After seated, we waited for a long time before the waitress came to get our orders. The Taiwanese Fried chicken was a bit dry. The sizes are not very even either. The drumstick I got was much smaller than the rest. We got the Twice Fried chicken wings as well and honestly, other than the parts of chicken and the sauce that came with it, there wasn't much difference between the two. I was especially disappointed by the twice fried chicken wings because they were not as good and crispy as when I had them in the previous location. The wings were what made me wanted to travel all the way to slc to come again, but I didn't like it much this time. I saw a lot of people working at the kitchen and not the chef/manager and idk if that's why the quality has gone down. The pan fried pork buns were supposed to be one of their signature dishes, but they didn't taste good. They were dry and the buns were very thick. The Three-Cup chicken was just alright, but definitely not worth $20 considering both the quality and quantity. The chicken needs to have a stronger taste. The rice tasted like leftover rice. It's also hard to eat using the plates they gave us. Providing bowls would make it much better. I honestly loved my experience at Drunken Kitchen before, but I won't be going back. I hyped up this restaurant so much and brought my friends with me, but we were all disappointed. read more

The ambience inside of Grid City is so fun! Large projector screen. The food is good. The ribs are the best! Wings were good. But ribs were fire. The rice looked so good, have to go back to try it tho. Great service Carlos the waiter was so nice and attentive! Thank you for the great food and fun! read more

Drunken Kitchen - A delicious flight of GC beers. Delicious ribs & tasty wings! - Chinese Near Me - Salt Lake, Utah

Great food and atmosphere . Food is excellent and the size Perfect. We meet the owner. Very friendly and helpful read more

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted with hospitality and a perfect balance of bar/open floor. Grayce, the GM, was incredibly kind and accommodating. Aspen was working bar and blew us away with their cocktails and service, spending time to talk to everyone and make sure we had everything we needed. The friendliness of all the staff together and everyone waiting on you makes it feel fancier and more welcoming than a regular bar. The dan dan noodles arrived shortly after being ordered and were the best noodles I've eaten in all of Utah. The chef Tim, made time to talk with me and ask about our food. Also shoutout for all the vegan options. Service, food, and drinks are all here and I will be coming back and can't wait to see how this place evolves! read more

Literally the best food I've ever had! I would do crimes to get my hands on a Dan Dan noodle and some pot stickers. Throw a beer in there and I'm going to straight to jail. Not only do these guys know how to cook but they treat you like a KING. This place has my heart read more

Loved this meal! Warming, comforting and delicious food, with authentic Sichiuan flavors (finally a real Mapo Tofu) and the pork belly dish was to die for. definitely coming back for those cold winter nights!! read more

Dined at their new Grid City Beerworks location tonight and I was blown away. Fried chicken was juicy, crispy and so flavorful. There was also lots of it--6 pieces! The Dan Dan noodles were the perfect spice level at medium and the bok choy in there was a perfect combo to the juice of the pork and the spice. I also am a sucker for a generous peanut garnish. So so good. My husband got a beef noodle soup and he basically polished it off despite not having a ton of room from the chicken. Easy to make a couple of meals from leftovers or share with your friends. Get there early because the word has gotten out. It was packed. I can't forget service because our server was amazing. Despite the volume of diners, she was checking on us and had great suggestions!! I love a knowledgeable server! read more

Service was meh and food was mid. Noodles tasted great though but would not go back. We ordered the pork belly dish. Braised eggs had a little bit of its shell still on it. Pork belly had some of its hair on it still. Dan Dan noodles tasted good, wish there was more option for meat other than pork on the Dan Dan noodles. Server seemed annoyed that we weren't sure of what to get and never offered to see if we needed anything else besides what we ordered. read more

Nice food. The dumplings and the quarter chicken I got was tasty. They have a good beer selection. The staff is very friendly. I wish as a place that sells alcohol, they'd stay open a bit late. read more

i really wanted to like this place but man was it disappointing. the service was great, our server was kind and knowledgeable about the menu & the wait time wasn't too bad at all. everything was unfortunately flavorless. we tried the dan dan noodle, which was the best part of the meal. the pork buns were recommended to us but they were lacking flavor and i wasn't a fan of the texture of the bun. the steamed buns at the chinatown deli are 100x better for a 1/4 of the price :/ we also got the duck salad which i thought the salad itself was alright but there were only two tiny pieces of dry duck on top which was incredibly lackluster. for the price, i expected a lot more from the food. read more

This once was an KFC? Now it's 2 different establishments in one, so don't get confused! Not really a restaurant but it's pretty clean inside. Wife and I got the same dish the noodle soup, it wasn't bad by any means but if you don't like tomato broth this definitely isn't for you! Also it's hard to choke up 25$ for a bowl of soup... Is it worth it? No..... The staff was very pleasant, but definitely a one hitter quitter! read more

They moved their restaurant to a 21+ bar. So don't try to go here if you have kids. Used to be a good spot for a quick dinner, unfortunately won't be back. read more

This place is lit, try everything and hit the roof top! Food looks amazing! ****** read more

Visited them at the new spot located at Grid City and was pleasantly surprised with the food options. I got the Dan Dan noddles priced at $20. Don't let the price fool you, the serving is really filling and I ended up having enough for leftovers. I did get some side sauce since I felt it was missing something. Overall, excited to go back and try more of the menu. Wishing them much success! read more

My son and I enjoyed the handmade Dan Dan Noodles and great service. I am excited to return and enjoy more of the menu.

The food looks good as well the the dumplings taste good. Everyone should try this place, they make good food. It has plenty of parking. The one star missing is it took more than 20mins for them to make it, i am a cook myself in Downtown slc and been working in the kitchen for a good amount of time, 20mins for a friedrice is bad especially when you only have 2 tables. Overall, this company Hired an amazing staff which makes the experience more enjoyable. Worth a try, good food and has a very strong potential read more

I cant believe something like Frog Legs could have such a taste to it! As I'm leaving this review I am craving them all over again. Unfortunately we didnt take a picture of them.. read more

You had me at drunk Chinese food! Drunken Kitchen is run out of a commercial kitchen (Square Kitchen on 800 S) for takeout or delivery on Fridays. What a terrific idea to offer hearty, spicy food when those Friday late night cravings hit! Hearty, delicious dumplings and tasty noodles. I felt my Dan Dan noodles could've had more noodles and less toppings, but that's a minor complaint. My order was ready when promised and the food was piping hot and delicious! Will definitely need to try their mapo tofu and three cup chicken soon! Drunken Kitchen's social media suggests that Taiwanese/Chinese beverages will also be offered soon. read more

happy girl. finally got to try a 1,000 year old egg. also the taiwanese fried chicken is the feeling you get when you are like just in like ecstasy. also tim TALK TO TIM. he is a sunbeam human and deserves all the good things in the world. go support tim and his amazing bok choy. read more

Best food around! Chinese Taiwanese and all the between they have incredible crab dip. Dan Dan noodle is my go to level 3 w the beef broth and they always deliver! My fiancé loves their beef Taiwanese noodle soup. read more

Wow! This place blew me away. For some reason I started getting ads for this place in instagram and the food looked amazing so I had to check it out. Spoiler alert: the food was amazing. We ordered the vegetarian pot stickers which were prepared in a more traditional way than most places I've been to in SLC. The Dan Dan was awesome and the beef noodle soup I ordered looked so delicious I immediately started eating and forgot to take a picture (It looks exactly like the on their website). I highly recommend. The place itself is a bit odd, an old KFC I think, and they don't serve liquor of any kind which was just fine but I would not mind if they did. read more

We've been wanting to stop by but the prices were always what stopped us. We had a 10$ off so we decided to give it a try. Prices are high because the food is high quality and you get huge portions. My husband's chicken sandwich was overwhelmingly big, would be two meals for me. He did say it was really good. I got the beef shank tai soup, very good meat portion was big and it will be two meals. The noodles are very filling. The outdoor seating has good Mountain views. Server was really nice and attentive. Would go back to try some appetizers. read more

Wonderful experience! Cyrus was an amazing server, very helpful and attentive. we had the Dan Dan noodles, marinated cucumbers, and the three cup chicken. Unfortunately we ate too fast to take any photos but the plates are empty :) Will be back soon. read more

100/10 best meal of my year so far - ordered through toast tab. Pan-Fried Pork Buns - this is a very authentic pork bun, it isn't the same as something you'll get out of the freezer section of the supermarket with a sweet bread and sugar sauce. Served with house made chili. Pork Pot Stickers - legitimately bursting at the seams, juicy, fresh and amazing. Marinated Cucumbers - this is a staple fridge food at my home so I was really excited to try these and they didn't disappoint. The extra marinade made THE BEST dipping sauce for dumplings. Dan Dan Noodle +Add Broth from Taiwanese Beef Soup - okay let's talk about these noodles, I feel BLESSED to have eaten these. Personally the best meal of my year so far. I wanted to try the noodle dish wet as well and it did not disappoint. (I saved my extra broth and ate with some slim noodle today) Fried Rice + Add Pork - this is a huge serving, and thank god because it was so so good I couldn't get enough. I'll be eating this gratefully for three days! Side Pickled Serranos - just get em, save them in the extra cucumber marinade and then you have an easy spicy kick for all of the dishes. (Also pack them in the dumplings wrap for spice and acidity) read more

The fried rice here is the best! Make sure you SuperSize Me !!! (That gives you all the meat)

I really wanted to love Drunken Kitchen. It's convenient, and Salt Lake City could really use more diversity in its Asian food scene. However, after visiting twice, I'm left underwhelmed. Nothing I've tried so far really stands out. The Dandan noodles were my favorite, but even those didn't win over the rest of my family. The fried chicken was decent, but beyond that, it was a letdown. The pork belly bowl was filled with unrendered, inedible white fat, with very little actual meat. The fried rice was dry, lacking flavor or any real appeal, and the three cup chicken? Nothing to write home about. To make things worse, I've been inundated with ads from Drunken Kitchen on every platform for months, and it's starting to get on my nerves. In summary, I had high hopes for this place, but unfortunately, it falls short of expectations. read more

I have been here before the current menu was established and the new menu has a much better list of items. Everything we tried was fantastic. read more

Server was great. Pricing not so much. Food is good, but value equation is off. I did experience an equity issue in the form of a price surprise. I was offered the ability to have pork instead of tofu and do rice instead of noodles. The phrasing didn't indicate I'd be charged $8 more. A very *meh* Roha sparking water ($6) and a bowl of noodles was $37. I don't see myself ever going back. read more

This is a nice place to hang out and have a good time, staff are friendly and helpful. The food was ok, Dan Dan noodles were good noodles were chewy and well cooked, frog legs were soggy still had some good flavor to them, twice fried chicken was ok again no real flavor. The dipping sauces kind of bland, the Taiwanese fried chicken was the tastiest thing we tried chicken was juicy and had some good flavor. Lastly the fried chicken sandwich was the special and the flavor profile fell a little short. It was a thick piece of fried chicken with 2 small pickles and very little slaw. The fries that came with the chicken sandwich were very good read more

A bit pricy but One of the best meals in slc. I got the honey cream ale it was the perfect beer. The food exceeded all of our expectations. The 3 cup chicken was the star of the show and the Dan Dan noodles were delicious my only complaint is there wasn't enough! I had seen some iffy reviews so was nervous but so happy we gave it a shot. Will be back! read more

Amazing food and ambience. The staff is friendly and hospitable. The flavor palate is intense and cultured. Perfect place for dates, nights out, or get togethers with the family. read more

My server Gracie was so amazing. Connected with my table and had great conversation, very attentive and considerate. Table was always clean and she was always around to help us with anything. Food has always been amazing!!! Can't recommend this place enough. read more

Wow. Top 3 meals I've ever had in the valley. I had the Dan Dan noodles and added the broth, just so beyond flavorful and delicious. The noodles are handmade in house! Perfect texture and huge portion! I also got the pan fried buns...these are also made with care. The bun you can tell is homemade not from frozen box. 10/10. They're inside of a mini food hall, but you can see the guys rolling out the noodles and dough right behind the counter. Super friendly too. I ordered to-go and the food came in well packed containers, ready to enjoy. The food was also nice and hot and stayed hot! Please do yourself a favor and go try drunken kitchen!!! read more

I'd been meaning to get back to this place and bring an appetite. I previously tried their pork buns. Which are great, and very generous. Full disclosure, Square Kitchen Eatery is owned by a guy i know, who also owns Comfort Bowl, which is also in this space, along with Shiba Boba, which is owned by a good friend of mine, and Argentina Empanada, who i don't really know. DK is like a friend of a friend that i don't really know. I paid full price, plus tip. I didn't even remind them that they've met me twice. Which was dumb because there were (and are) some pretty good coupon codes, like for a free appetizer, which is like a $10 value. So it goes. Add them on IG or something. Ethics in culinary quasi-journalism. DK is transitioning to restaurant service after success as a delivery-only-plus-occasional-takeout operation. They're not yet really practiced in Western-style restaurant service norms. They may forget to tell you that since everything is hand-made to order, you may be waiting 15 or more minutes for your food. Or that the potstickers are served insanely hot. But it IS all hand-made. Even the noodles and wrappers. Even their sambal and chili oil, which you can purchase as well. If you have small children in tow who are hungry, you may want to ask for a side of rice served right away, or get them an empanada. Argentina empanada is good i had their empanadas at a party once. The portions were pretty generous. I am a very large man and this was a big meal for me. You'll notice that the potstickers are substantially larger than what you get at most asian restaurants. And since they're hand-made, the filling isn't a compacted little wad knocking around in the wrapper like some cheap frozen potsticker. It's nice and loose. I burned the roof of my mouth when i went for the first one right after it was served. I have no regrets but have learned my lesson. The bottom of the potstickers was crispy and the top of the wrapper was very tender, not tough at all. The dipping sauce was exceptionally rich, with good depth of flavor, and just a touch of heat. I could drink a mug of it. I was a little tempted to drink the remains of the bowl like a shot, but didn't want to come off as weird so i just took a good sip before bussing my own table. On some level, i know that it's mostly soy sauce, vinegar, and oil, but it's very far removed from what you get at most chinese or japanese restaurants. I'd never had dan-dan noodles before. You can order them mild, medium, hot, or super hot. I'm a white guy who loves very spicy thai food -- sometimes so hot that it chaps my lips. "Hot" dan-dan noodles here had a good, pleasant back-end heat but not something that will have you drinking more water. The essence of this dish is savory, and i heartily recommend it. Like i said i am a big guy, and just this bowl could have satisfied me for the night. If you're on a tight budget looking for lunch, it wouldn't be all that unreasonable to share this order with someone close. I've been using chopsticks since i was a 4-year-old haole boy in Laie in 1979, but it seems like there must be a strategy to getting a peanut in every bite that i haven't learned yet. Maybe a way to pull apart the yu choy leaves too. Or you could request a fork. It was not cheap. $33 plus tax and tip. But it's worth it (and seek out those coupon codes). I fully expect DK to have a stand-alone restaurant before too many years have passed. Maybe a James Beard award as well, who knows. read more
