Tin Drum Asian Kitchen & Boba Tea Bar - North Druid Hills

A few miles away from the busy Lenox Square Mall holiday sales frenzy, sanctuary awaited: Tin Drum Asian Kitchen. Warm lights. Steam drifting from open pans. The calm after a storm. I ordered Chinese-style lo mein with sautéed tofu—silky, savory, shockingly good and vegan friendly. Level-three spice for the antimicrobial edge; a tactical health boost. The playlist vibed, the dining room gleamed, and the cashier—kind, composed—delivered my plate like a pro in the suburban area strip mall the restaurant is located. Cheers to a delicious meal & a peaceful moment.

I love eating here. I've been eating at this location since 2021. I've tried a few different things on the menu but my #1 favorite will forever be the Firecracker cauliflower. Everything I've ever tried from here has been A1! I was vegetarian for 5 years; that's how I discovered this place. This location is my favorite out of the 3 I've been to. The manager is also amazing. She's the best restaurant manager I've ever came across since I've become an adult. Would recommend a 1000 times over!!!!

This was my first time dining at a Tin Drum Asian Kitchen and it was a solid choice! Parking: Located in a shopping plaza, had no issue finding parking right in front of the restaurant. Service: you order at the counter. They had an extensive menu offered in a booklet style at the counter which was unique and they had a separate book for their many Boba tea offerings. Food: I got some sort of noodles, maybe Singapore noodles? Flavor was great and the portion gave me enough for leftovers. I enjoyed it and would order it again next time!

My go to is their lettuce wrap—totally underrated!! I never liked iceberg lettuce in my whole life so how Tin Drum made me a fan I have no idea. The cheese crab rangoon is also a winner, always perfectly crispy outside but ooey gooey inside. Their wok wings are saucy so if you like saucy over dry, order here. Overall if you come here, expect to find tasty, fast, fun but cozy vibe, consistent food and consistently very kind friendly service (thanks Mariela and Alondra!) Place is always clean, they love and care for their customers in this Briarcliff/N Druid Hills location (not all Tin Drum locations are like this). Staff are patient with us explaining the many things on their menu. Bonus for me is that parking is always easy. This is how fast casual should be done!

I dined here with my boyfriend and few weeks ago, and we had great experience. He liked the coconut soup. We ordered general tso and mango shrimp

The service was top-notch. We were given a run-down of the menu - what was popular, what was not too spicy, what taste good, and what others recommended. He was honest and transparent. He even offered some dishes he wasn't a fan of but thought we might like them. My son enjoyed their boba tea a lot. He ordered the brown sugar pearl and loved it. We also ordered the tokyo crinkcle fries which were good and are a nice side dish. I wanted something light so I ordered the chicken lettuce wrap which was a perfect size for what I wanted. I didn't get to finish it because I was getting full off the fries. We ordered a koreano sandwich, chinatown lo mein, sweet and savory sesame, and the thai basil fried rice. Everything was delicious. The portion sizes are good for the price. And, I love that they offer many vegetarian options.

I called last night to ask about some food allergies and wow — Trina was amazing! It’s so rare to find someone in the restaurant world who’s this kind and patient. She took the time to explain everything and really cared. I usually get attitude or short answers, but not from her! This was my first time trying Tin Drum, and because of Trina, I’ll definitely be ordering from this location from now on. Thank you, Trina! ✨️

Scam would be too nice of a word. I paid $15 for sesame chicken with fried rice. I might as well have gotten a side of fried rice and added chicken because that’s the amount of chicken I received. Just go to the Lindbergh tin drum and call it a day. And I waited 20+ min for a mobile order. It seems like they have an unlimited supply of rice and little to no chicken
