Tin Drum Asian Kitchen & Boba Tea Bar - Georgia Tech — Restaurant in Atlanta

I must express my profound disappointment with the food today. After enduring a day fraught with relentless challenges and taxing endeavors, I sought solace in the prospect of enjoying a meal that would, at the very least, provide some semblance of comfort and satisfaction. With this hope in mind, I resolved to treat myself to some indulgent fare from Tin Drum, believing it to be a well-deserved reward for my efforts. I embarked on a wearying 1-mile journey across campus, my anticipation growing with each step.

Upon finally reaching my destination, I eagerly purchased a Boba Taro drink, complete with boba and ice cream—at least, that was my intention. Yet, to my dismay, the drink I received was a woeful misrepresentation of what I had ordered. The toppings I had specifically requested were glaringly absent, and the Taro drink itself was a tasteless, insipid concoction. It possessed not even the faintest hint of sweetness and slid down my throat with the dull, unremarkable viscosity and flavor of tap water.

As if this disappointment weren't enough, the Mongolian stir fry I had ordered was nothing short of abysmal. The chicken and beef were shockingly dry and utterly devoid of flavor, offering only an unpleasant and unsettling combination of sourness and sweetness that left a foul taste in my mouth—undoubtedly the worst I have encountered this year. The rice, too, was a dismal failure, undercooked and barely edible, a clear indication of the careless preparation that had gone into this meal.

To describe this as "take-out food" would be an undeserved compliment. What I received was an unmitigated disaster, a culinary catastrophe that left me feeling utterly betrayed and unsatisfied. This was not just a meal gone wrong—it was a egregiously grievous affront to the very...

I recently swung by and did a taste test extravaganza! 🎉 The Chinese Sticky Pork Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and smothered in a sweet and savory sauce (seriously addictive!). They came perfectly paired with a side of crisp-tender sautéed broccoli & peppers and a serving of their fluffy rice. The Japanese Teriyaki Fried Rice with salmon was bursting with savory-sweet teriyaki flavors, and the General Tso's Wok Wings delivered the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy goodness.

Tin Drum's menu is your ticket to a global culinary adventure! 🌍 They've got a vast selection of dishes with bold flavors, plus the option to build-your-own stir-fry with endless possibilities. Their 1000° hot wok infuses everything with incredible flavor - living up to their motto, "A Thousand Degrees of Flavor," for sure! Litetally, these dishes are on fire! —- Tin Drum Asian Kitchen & Boba Tea Bar 🍑 GA Tech, Atlanta | 88 5th St NE

I decided to order Chinese dishes from this restaurant for lunch today. I ordered, for to-go, General Tso's chicken because it is one of my favorite Chinese dishes. I also wanted to try Chinese-style chicken, so I ordered and ate wok wings cooked with orange pepper and sweet & sour sauce, which are also my favorite Chinese sauces. When I got home (less than 10 minutes) and opened the food I ordered, there was something but not General Tso's chicken that I had ever known in my life, but instead a dish cooked in pure white source. I was so curious that I searched for General Tso's cuisine on the Internet, and the conclusion was that the clean-sourced dish, which the restaurant names General Tso's and sold to me, was not General Tso's. It may be just one of Chinese fried dishes. The taste wasn't bad, but it made no sense and felt absurd. The wok wings I ordered had a sweet & sour sauce that I know, but the orange peppers were some kind of powdered sauce, not the Chinese orange pepper sauce that I have tried countless times. The wings were chicken wings with an unusually high amount of fat attached to them, so if I chewed the part with too much fat, I couldn't eat it. This may be because I really don't like fatty parts of meat. But I couldn't hide the disappointment. The price was understandable since it is located in midtown, but the taste was very disappointing for the price. It may be because my evaluation of the food was not generous, but these were foods that were too difficult to recommend to people who know and love Chinese foods well. Maybe I had the dishes that this restaurant...
