Hands down, the best fried rice and beef noodle soup I’ve ever had. Drunken Noodle completely blew me away. The fried rice was perfectly cooked flavorful, not greasy, and packed with just the right balance of seasoning and texture. Every bite was incredible.
And the beef noodle soup? Unreal. The broth was rich, deep, and comforting, with tender beef and noodles that soaked up all that amazing flavor. It tasted like something that had been simmering all day with care and intention.
On top of the amazing food, our server Izzy made the entire experience even better. Their service was absolutely phenomenal attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they care about making sure guests have a great experience, and it really shows.
Between the food and the service, this place is a total standout. Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and made with love. If you’re even thinking about coming here, do it! I will 100% be back.

I don’t get the hype. Despite the good service, the food is uninspiring. Their potstickers, for example, have been voted as the best in Salt Lake City, yet they proved to be mediocre at best. This is what we ordered:
Pork Pot Stickers (D-): No flavor, somewhat soggy
Vegetarian Pot Stickers (D-): No flavor, somewhat soggy
Sticky Ribs (D): Stringy and chewy, way too lean, flavor was off
Dan Dan Noodle (A-): Our favorite dish, quite good
Gluten-Free Dan Dan Noodle (B+): Good flavor
Taiwanese Braised Pork Belly Bowl (D): Little pork belly bits that disappoint
Mapo Tofu (C-): Mediocre. Even PF Chang’s version is vastly superior
Fried Rice (D+): Not flavorful at all
Egg Plant Katsu (C+): Creative concept, but nothing special
So only their Dan Dan Noodles past muster. We will not be returning to the Drunken Kitchen.

Drunken Kitchen is delicious!! We got the fried rice, Taiwanese Fried Chicken, and bao buns! My partner got a couple flights and really enjoyed all the ones he got!! It took a long time to get water or service from waitstaff, which is why I couldn’t give them 5 stars!
The flavors are rich and interesting! I’m not sure if the fried chicken had saffron on top but whatever it was it was so good! It was also cooked to perfection! Every bite was better than the last!

Wow! Drunken kitchen feels like an escape from Utah. A truly wonderful, stunning, welcoming atmosphere. The food tastes like the most delicious, home cooked meal from a family member. I would recommend the Dan Dan noodles, marinated cucumbers, pork buns and honestly every other thing! The beer flight was super affordable and tasty as well. The employees here are fantastic so warm and kind.

Drunken Kitch is genuinely one of the best food experiences I’ve had in SLC! The flavors are bold, unique, and made with so much love. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and the whole vibe of the place feels like you’re in a bigger city.
Everything I tried was delicious. You can feel the passion behind the menu! Highly recommend this spot to anyone who loves good food, good people, and a cozy but elevated atmosphere.

Found Drunken Kitchen on Instagram, and what brought me here was the Taiwanese fired chicken. Popcorn chicken flavors on a sandwich? Sign me up.
Drunken kitchen is a pop up inside the brewery. Not sure if the owners of both are the same, but they run parallel with each other in the space.
Food overall was great. Huge portion size so keep that in mind when ordering. All the food sound and are delicious, but you may be having a lot of left overs since they give you so much food.
Braised beef noodle soup was comforting on a cold day. Beef was so tender, and the pickled veggies was a nice add into the soup.
Takwense fried chicken was great. Massive sandwich with a ton of fries to come with it. I liked the sandwich but I think the avocado aioli wasn’t needed. It kind of overshadowed the spices of the chicken.
Drinks are really affordable here. You can get a 12 oz beer for $4 or a flight for $8 (with peanuts). Fun time here at Drunken Kitchen. It was a very memorable restaurant during my visit to Salt Lake.

The broth is really good for the mains & appetizers do not disappoint! The serving sizes are really big so prepare for leftovers. Fried rice was my favorite i could’ve eaten that as my meal & been happy . Downside is they do not allow kids, we had to come on a date night which is almost never but would love to come more often. Everything on their menu sounds amazing i was drooling at all the food going past us.

Hands down one of my new favorite spots in Salt Lake! We ordered their award-winning pot stickers and WOW, now I understand why they’re award-winning. They were so flavorful and honestly the yummiest I’ve had in a long time. You can tell the noodles are authentic and made in-house fresh every day, they have that perfect texture and depth you just don’t get from anything pre-made. Everything tasted so intentional and high-quality. The drinks were made really well, super balanced, and the food overall was absolutely delicious. The whole vibe of the place was great, the staff was friendly, and everything we tried hit the spot. If you’re in SLC and want a place that actually delivers on flavor, go here. I’ll definitely be back!!

Been to this place 2 nights in a row! It’s super good! The sticky short ribs are bomb! My absolute favorite is the ala mode brownie to end an amazing meal. The balance of warm crunchy brownie with sea salt caramel and the vanilla ice cream feels like heaven. I will def be back for more
The atmosphere is pretty nice and relaxing but upscale, and the staff are amazing!

Where do I begin?? I love the food here so much! I’m not really a ramen/noodle person at all but this place has so much to offer. Their beef noodle soup has so much flavor and the meat is so tender. Their calamari also was super good..not too much batter and it is the best calamari and noodle soup I’ve ever had.
