The curries cost 8 bucks or so which is almost the same quality of an average Thai restaurant and definitely more quantity as they don't cheap out on the rice amount. The rest of the items are OK. The menu changes were for the worse. The noodles have declined in quality though.<br /><br />I hope they do better. I enjoy going to their Dunwoody location.

I was just over there Monday night.<br /><br />That really is weird that you should write about a closing Tin Drum just as I wrote about the new one in Marietta. ( http://marieletseat.com/2014/02/05/tin-drum-asia-cafe-marietta-ga/ ) Their menu has been reformatted into something incoherent with hidden charges, and if the rest of the satellite stores look as slapdash as this one, I'd agree that cold is a good word to use. It's impersonal and cheap. Who knows? Maybe they really are renovating the Roswell/Wieuca store. Maybe they're adding a ceiling and some flooring, something they should've done before they opened.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to your story about the chain. Something is clearly going wrong with his business plan for such really good food (both at Wonderful World and Tin Drum) to be falling apart. I hope he turns it around. Maybe my voice is raised in welcome and my hands raised in prayer, but perhaps a bright new beginning is in the offing? /reference for the owner to catch if he ever reads thisG.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14139897093825738777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-75761572177803593922014-02-06T12:44:19.055-05:002014-02-06T12:44:19.055-05:00Planet Sub just closed in Marietta - the same stri...Planet Sub just closed in Marietta - the same strip mall where a Tin Drum just opened - and their goodbye sign was honest. It read something like "We were not able to succeed financially and have had to close. Thanks to our customers for their support."<br /><br />It's interesting that your commenters above are echoing the regular thoughts about the "cold" design and their stupid menu changes. This whole chain feels like failure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-55370653037889038972014-02-06T11:54:20.875-05:002014-02-06T11:54:20.875-05:00As a huge fan of TinDrum, this kinda upsets me.

I hope they can find a balance because I'd hate to see this leave the market altogether.PyroATLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-41357230150567750712014-02-05T12:58:48.784-05:002014-02-05T12:58:48.784-05:00WHAT IS IT WITH THE RENOVATIONS RUSE??

It's too bad - tasty food and a friendly staff, but a cold physical space and not cheap for order-at-the-counter noodles. I hope the kind staffers move on to better things.Theron Sappnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-52398228112726346312014-02-05T01:33:59.191-05:002014-02-05T01:33:59.191-05:00The "coming soon" link for Tin Drum does...The "coming soon" link for Tin Drum doesn't work.
