"Where else in the valley can you get chicken feet at 12:30 in the morning than at Drunken Tiger? This Korean mainstay is a true testament to late-night dining. Chef and owner Justin Park describes his place as harmonizing typical Korean street and bar food with American comfort food. The menu is a direct reflection of Park’s wishes, with some staples like kimchi pork fries, mussel soup, and corn cheese, which is like a Korean deconstructed elote with melted cheese. Open until midnight Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday and until 1 a.m. Friday and Saturday." - Mcconnell Quinn

This place serves great Korean bar foods. Their chicken wings w/ sweet and spicy sauce (this is the traditional flavor) are really good. It’s better than bonchon, bbq, and any other Korean fried chicken I ate in the Valley. Ttoekbokki is pretty decent and I like all the topping options except soggy dumplings. I wish they offered crunch fried dumplings instead for ttoekbokki. Corn and spicy pork dish was strangely delicious like I couldn’t stop eating even though it seemed like it shouldn’t be good. Good atmosphere inside and service is very good.

I’ve been coming here for almost 8 years and it’s just not the same anymore. Same dishes I’ve been getting for years and each time I come they skip out. Look at the photo comparison of what I got today vs. before of the SAME DISH. Just disappointed every time I go. First pic is from today and the ones after are from before.

Cute eatery. The food was very yum, we got the soy popcorn chicken, the ramen and the fried mussels, a beer and the cocktail soju, our bill was about $75 which seems a little pricey but the portions were big and food was good.

The food here is always super yummy! I personally love the spicy pork. It’s usually my go-to. The only dish I’ve tried that I would maybe shy away from is the cheese corn. It’s not bad tasting, just on the side of plain. Otherwise no other gripes so far. The seating is mainly tables and chairs with a fun art and atmosphere in the room. I will also just add that the service here has been quick and nice every time we’ve been here. Appreciate it! Makes the experience a good time. If I’m in the area I’ll usually stop by here.

I will start with the positives. The food was delicious! Other than that our experience was disappointing. Our waiter took so long to take our order, when we told him we were having water, he gave us a pitcher and plastic cups. We also ordered an appetizer and two entrees. We asked him if he could bring the appetizer first but he brought the entrees first and then the appetizer which might sound like it’s not a big deal but it felt like the waiter didn’t care. The tables looked dirty and the atmosphere was kind of awkward. I won’t be coming back.

Great spot for Korean bar food and drink. The combo meals sets are reasonably priced for how much food you get. Quick enough service even when the place is busy. Wish they would open another location closer to downtown Tempe, we make the drive out there but wish we didn't have to drive back :)

Overall experience was great. The bar/restaurant does make you feel like you are in a bar in South Korea. The food was very good and the kimchi tasted fresh. However the only thing keeping me from rating this place 5 stars is that the food and drinks are overpriced. The Soju is marked up at least 2~3 times and the portion of the food doesn't match the price. Overall I rate this place 4.5
