Chinatown Lo Mein
Serene L.

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.

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.

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!

The food was good and it was hot and fresh! The service was really good. They were very helpful! The restaurant was very clean. I will definitely go back!

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.

Two sides of rice equal one full box? Rip off

Two order of white rice and the boxes are over halfway empty. That's absolutely ridiculous.

It was sooo goood! Some of the best Asian food I've had in GA. It's was quick to get out and the food was all fresh. The cashier was patient and told us everything we needed to know, the place was soo beautiful as well, very clean and it smelt just like food!

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 have always seen this place but never went inside so my boyfriend and I took the time to make our…read moreway here. In a shopping center with TONS of parking sits food terminal! It's an asian restaurant food that offers seating inside and outside. Once we entered we were seated immediately and handed menus. Their menus are super cool and unique and are a bit overwhelming but nevertheless full of so much variety. The waitress was very sweet and checked in on us periodically and helped us fill out our sheet to place our order. We ordered a plethora of stuff such as crispy bulgogi bao buns, brushed sprouts, steamed dumplings, mango chicken and a noodle plate. Food didn't take long for it to come out on their little robot and staff helped put everything on the table. Everything smelled and looked amazing so it was tough to decide what to taste first! I first tried the crispy bao bun and was blown away by the flavor it had! It was like a mini burger. After that I tried the steamed dumplings and they were so yummy and specially with the sauce. Next I tried the Brussels sprouts and they were necessary my cup of tea but still good! Just wouldn't order again. Second to last thing I tried the mango chicken and man was it good!!! Full of the best aroma and flavor and cooked to perfection. The plating was also gorgeous as well!! We finished off with mango sticky rice and It was good but I do wish it had more mango to help the ratio. Overall, it was a really good visit and I was excited to try it out. It was a bit pricey but we did order a lot so it may be a special occasion once we come back again but I'd definitely be back!

It was busy inside, but our party of 10 was promptly seated, though we were a little squished into a circular table. I didn't remember this last time, but instead of telling a server what you want, you mark it down on a paper menu and hand it to the server. This time I got the Grandma's BBQ Pork Noodles and the Salted Egg Yolk Shrimp Garlic Noodle. I was really excited to try both since they both sounded so good. Ultimately the Grandma's BBQ Pork Noodle was a little underwhelming - the noodles themselves weren't very flavorful, and the BBQ pork was on the drier side. The pork did have decent flavor, and all the toppings/side items (wontons, fried egg, bok choy) were great, but all in all fell a little short of my hopes. The Salted Egg Yolk Garlic Noodles had better flavor, but I could've used even more garlic and butter. The shrimp definitely carried the salted egg yolk flavor, but the fried batter was a bit soggy/soft in my opinion. I wished it was crisper. Service was a tad slow, but perhaps they're understaffed and/or it was busy that night. I do love the menu concept of positioning it like a magazine catalog - it makes for a fun experience instead of just words on paper

Im not sure if it was just a language barrier or just bad customer service. The food was HORRIBLE! The veggies weren't fresh. The garlic sauce tasted old and stale. My drink had to be changed 3 times because the sprite had too much syrup, the lemonade taste flat, and the water had a bad after taste. I ended up going to get my water out the car to have. Some of our utensils weren't cleaned so we used plastic. Depending on what you ordered the portions size are decent (the shrimp portion is skim when more than 2 ppl order it). I asked for a Medium steak. I received a well done steak I honestly felt like we were served old food because you could taste how UNFRESH the veggies were.The food didn't really have any seasoning frfr. It was greasy. And the rice tasted mine "wash rag water". It could've been because of how they clean the grill then add the food on there, Im really not sure. LASTLY; the floors were were and no sign was up. That could've been a very dangerous outcome! I honestly wouldn't recommend this place. There's WAYYTT better hibachi restaurants..

Before getting started on this review, I want to preface that my score is based with the full…read moreunderstanding that this isn't authentic Thai cuisine by any means. My score would be lower if that was the case. I've tried this restaurant a few times for lunch, and I've enjoyed it each time. They're always accommodating for about groups of 8 without a reservation for the most part, and the staff has always been really kind and patient. I've tried some of the raw fish items here, and they've tasted surprisingly fresh although I've definitely had better elsewhere (still pretty good for the price!). Recently, I tried their Thai Style Spicy Basil dish for the first time. It definitely could've been spicier, but it's probably made on the milder side for those that may not be able to handle their spice because this dish is typically spicy (I've made it in Thailand myself). I wish that some of the hot dishes could have more spices/ingredients added to have more of the explosion of flavor I'm used to from Thai dishes, but it's still fairly tasty.

Since I chose to sit at the bar, the sushi chef gave me her recommendations on how to eat or pair the sushi as she was plating my selections. 10/10 I'll be back.
