Bang Bang - San Diego

"Had a good time, and went to grab a few drinks with some friends... a nice atmosphere, and good music. Unfortunately, the mood was disrupted by one of the hostesses constantly reminding us that the table next to us was reserved which we fully understood and expressed to her on more than one occasion. A group of about 15 (us) exited because of how uncomfortable she made us feel but everything else was ok..."

"I wanted to LOVE this place. And I did love the service and atmosphere. Unfortunately, however, their food wasn't great. We ordered off the happy hour menu. The spicy yellowtail roll tasted NOTHING like yellowtail (and I've been eating sushi for about 50 years.) It tasted like some random leftover fish (tuna maybe), marinated in the spicy stuff. And it was dry (go figure). The fried rice had no flavor. Zero. Only the tempura shrimp was good. Maybe the regular menu is better. The place is adorable, however. Can't beat the atmosphere here."

"Went by here at the mention of the concierge at the Grant Hotel. I guess it’s a sushi restaurant by day and a dance club my night. It was worth every penny. The food was excellent. The sushi was great. There are some interesting Nippon inspired drinks on the menu. Once food is over, the club picks up and it’s a really good experience. Highly reccommended."

"Bang Bang? More like Boy Bye.. I had a terrible experience eating here. The ambiance is cool and it seems like it would be fun for the nightclub aspect but I do not recommend eating here. The cooks have absolutely no idea what they are doing. We ordered sushi, chicken katsu, and salmon. The sushi was ok but the chicken katsu was dry and flavorless. It tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Also, they did not bring the slaw that was supposed to come with it. The disaster of the whole night was, however, the salmon. Everything about it was wrong. The rice was not coconut rice, it was jasmine. I did not get the steamed veggies it was supposed to come with, and to top it off the salmon was undercooked!! Gordon Ramsey would make a scene. The only good thing was that the server was extremely nice but overall this was one of the worst experiences I had in San Diego. They also overcharge for the shots so beware of that. It's a cool place but definitely just come here for drinks - the food is awful."

"You're definitely not coming here for the food, because it's below meh. However, the atmosphere is really nice. The music is on point, tables are nice, the dancing area is nice too. All the staff are well dressed and nice."
