Tin Drum Asian Kitchen & Boba Tea Bar - Decatur

I finally got around to trying this place. I dash here almost everyday. Food always smells great, and I can say for myself now that it tastes as good as it looks. Curry Singapore noodles with fried chicken bites, cilantro, and green onion 🔥🔥🔥. The only thing that keeps from a perfect score is the fact that I've only been once and I reserve all five star ratings until I have had a return visit to see if the food and vibes are consistent. Other than that... no complaints. I'll be back... soon. UPDATE: Sfter returning for a second and third time, I can safely say without skepticism that the food is indeed worth five stars. The service, however, needs improving. It's normally a busy restaurant and at the time where customers have kind of dissipated there are plenty of bowls/trays and trash around the tables and chairs. There are employees in the back talking and no one is cleaning the tables. For a place with such high volume the staff should be more attentive. Other than that, no complaints.

I frequent this franchise a lot. This location is the closest to my house so I come to this location the most. Coming here is hit or miss. Today, the Chinese American Fried Rice had too much sauce. I’m guessing it’s soy sauce. The Firecracker Cauliflower is always a hit! The Chinese Green Bean weren’t bad. Their Thai Tea is sometimes bland, other times excellent. Bland today. This location needs to take notes from the Dunwoody location which has yet to disappoint.

**Like and follow for more reviews** My daughters and I go to this place a lot to get bobba. This was my first time trying the stir-fry and it was pretty good. They have a lot of choices to choose from. They also have veggie and tofu as well. Brown or white rice and choice of protein. They also have a variety of choices for bobba as well. You can choose between the milk or tea. There are seats where you can sit down and eat and they have a few seats outside on a nice day. Give it a try!!

Pretty good. I got ramen (can't remember which one) has some spice to it which was good in my opinion mom got some brown rice thing (I'm sorry I can't remember anything about the food names rn). The boba was good, loved the costumer service very friendly and loved that it was quiet but like a everyone still talking but being respectful type of quiet. Would go again 7.8/10

First time here and it was delicious. The food came out hot and fresh. I thoroughly enjoyed the Beijing chicken and brown rice. Mango wings were #yummy

I love Tindrum Newnan, GA! They are always consistent and the Manager “Sharon” goes above and beyond to make certain we enjoy our food and our dinning experience is pleasant. The Basil rice with shrimp and Teriyaki chicken is always superb!

2025 Review update: Still like the food, but I HATE THE KIOSK ORDERING!!! The menus were hard to navigate the first time… entrees had scrolling screens. Attendee behind the counter finally came out to help. My Bangkok with grilled chicken curry and white rice was very tasty, my wife’s Vegetable Spring rolls had quite a crispy outer wrap. Still no cups and ice for the bottled cokes. Nice deco and lunch for around $15. 2023 Review: I like Tin Drum but this store was a little disappointing. Still good food although my wife’s lettuce wrap filling had a slight burnt/petroleum after flavor. My chicken spas Thai was excellent. Portions were small for lunch. I eat some of my wife’s meal to fill me up. Drinks were a little strange, the soft drinks that were in bottles were not opened, and had no cup with ice… I guess some must just “swig” from the bottle? Atmosphere was nice and service was quick.

New Update (2025): I've eaten in person at this location a few times now because it's convenient for me, the prices are reasonable and I love Thai food in general. Sometimes it's good, and when it's good I'm happy. However, it's very hit or miss. Seems like a variety of ways dishes are made, even what flavors they use. Maybe most importantly, I've noticed most of the people working there don't seem happy to be there. This may sound "woo-woo" but I honestly think how much joy and love someone puts into their cooking makes a difference in how food tastes, so this may be why sometimes the food is better than other times. That or some of their chefs are just more skilled than others. Also, their rewards app doesn't work very well. Previous Update: I ordered again, and not only did they again ignore the request for no utensils that I wrote three different times on my order… The food was not as tasty this time. The Pad Thai noodles were a different size, the sauce tasted different… Very sad for me (although maybe good, because it will prevent me from eating there too much?). I may try one more time, since the food was so good the first time. Will try to remember to update if anything changes. First review: Delicious, relatively healthy, lots of great options, good prices, hearty portions… Love the Citrus Pad Thai (with double veggies & vegetarian sauce!!) I wish I could give five stars but there was no actual Boba in my Boba tea (I ordered through Uber Eats and there was no option to click for Boba, but since it was listed as Boba tea I assumed it would have Boba in it)… and that was one of the main reasons that I ordered from them! Also, I made it clear that I didn’t want utensils and they put utensils. This is a pet peeve because I hate wasting things, especially when I know it’s so bad for the environment… and they use plastic containers, which I understand and it still bums me out, especially at a place that is otherwise very conscientious in many ways (I love all the modification options when ordering!!!). All that said, their food helped make my “Single’s Day” (AKA Valentine’s Day) a lot tastier. I plan to order again and if my order is as delicious and correct this time, I will try to remember to come back and give five stars!!
