Bang Bang

I have been here twice now and am looking forward to going back. The food is so amazing and the decor is cute and fun. I know it turns into a club during the evening, but I have not been there for that, only to dine. There are 2 sides you can dine in, and I've been on both sides. My favorite one is the side that has the disco ball and dj booth with the flowers everywhere. It is such a cute place to take pictures, and they play good music as well. It's also pretty lit up. The other side is a bit darker, is by the bar, and not really decorated much. We've tried all of the specialty sushi rolls except the Bruce Lee, and they were all very good. I especially liked the Coco Chanel, and the Gosling. The won ton nachos are also . For appetizers, we had the calamari, creamy fried shrimp, and the miso. I'd definitely have these again.The prices are a bit high, but not much more than anywhere else. Plus it's downtown so I expected to pay a bit more. Parking can be tough, but there are lots close by and street parking.

LOVE this place!! I always try to come here before partying in gaslamp district because it has such a great party atmosphere. The music is loud and it's got a clubbing feel, you can definitely dress up a bit for this spot, which I appreciate. The service is super friendly! We were able to move our reservation easily for a large party.Food is honestly super delicious, definitely more of an Asian fusion so not the most authentic sushi , but the fish is very fresh and the flavors are delicious. Drinks are great too! Definitely a nice spot to go before going out in gaslamp district.If you're looking for a quiet authentic experience, this is not it. But if you want a super fun party experience with yummy Asian fusion, definitely recommend.

Interior is cute and service is very nice. Sushi is good but very overpriced. What we really did not like was that we didn't get free entry to the nightclub within the restaurant even though we had paid for dining (the cover was $15 per person AFTER the "dining guest discount"). My group had spent over $200 on dinner and feel as though the club experience should be included for those who are paying for the meals there, as the meals are very expensive. Regardless, this is an iconic downtown SD spot that everyone should visit at least once. The bathroom decor is specifically famous, and so is the whole vibe of the restaurant. If you are planning on clubbing though, I recommend looking for some deals or just going to another place with cheaper cover (there's a ton around that are walking distance.

Why advertise $5 entrance but charge $10 once at the door. Scam if I would say so. Drinks cost way too much.

Definitely make reservations. This place was more for bigger group on Saturday nights to go out. Majority of them were six or more group of people just out here. I read a lot of reviews about slow Service so as soon as we sat down, we ordered everything we wanted. There are two different rooms, one with the big disco ball, and one with where the dj was playing the music by the time we were all done. I would have to say, music wasn't it.. even though we were planning on staying there after the food, we left. Because nobody in my group was vibing. For food wise. It was ok. We should've ordered two boats for 10 people because 1 was not enough. Some of us ordered individual rolls and I had hello kitty and that was pretty good and spicy! I would have to say, our server did her best, food was alright, music wasn't it. However they do have Ryan Gosling bathroom in women's bathroom so there's that...

Came here for a Lunar New Year event that was held and it was really interesting seeing how the space is transformed for the San Diego night life. Be advised that there is a line to get in so either arrive earlier to avoid the wait or be aware that you will be outside waiting. Once you walk up the flight of stairs up the atmosphere is definitely there. After my bf and I were all checked in we were very pleased with how large the space is and how aesthetic it is with the somber lighting and pops of blue and red. Since we arrived a bit early we saw up close how fast the staff works to move tables and open up the space even more. There are two rooms and each one is playing different music. This night was house music and early 2000s hits. I really enjoy the fact that they have two separate rooms since you can bounce between two different kinds of music. The drinks here are also delicous (which can get dangerous) but just a bit pricey but that is to be expected. The bar tenders are very kind and give great recommendations. Overall it was a fun night and I really enjoyed the entire vibe of the club. I am looking forward to returning in the future.

I was nervous to come here for my cousins bach dinner bc of the reviews but I kept hearing this was a SD staple we had to try. I thought overall for a group it was fun. We got the sushi boat to share plus a couple appetizers and it was enough for my group of 6 to split! We also got some really strong cocktails (which for $20 a pop they better be) and had a good time. Our server was nice even though I think she lowkey made our check out to be for 7 people so that she could get the large party tip.I know this place turns into a club on the weekends and it looks like itd be really fun. It's in downtown around a bunch of other dance spots so it's a good place to start the night! They had a dj spinning live records the night we were there which added a really cool vibe. I want to come back when this place turns into a club to see how it is.

Pulled up excited because it was a great video I seen on TikTok . Has great deal of stairs you must climb to get in and they decor is funky . I go to the reception desk and they say kitchen closesd so we asked if we could get a drink and they said let us ask and then they said no so yes this is no for a early night they shut us down earlier from even trying . And those stairs aren't worth the climb ‍

Came here for their NYE party! The restaurant turns into a club at night. The pros: two rooms makes it very spacious. They have the main club room which is decorated so nicely, but gets pretty packed. The bathrooms are big too. Staff is super friendly.Cons: the main bar is in their backup club room which is usually pretty empty. They just push their tables to the side in the room to make space for the dance floor. It's not very nice feeling in there and looks like they put minimal effort in transitioning from restaurant to club. Might as well keep the tables instead of making it look like a storage room. It was good for one night out, but my least favorite club so far in San Diego.

This spot is definitely a birthday place ! What's cool is you have dinner then dancing right after.Service by our waiter excellent but the bar people not so nice . Must order for me was the Japanese Pot Some people don't think it's worth it but it's definitely an experience place .I hate that they don't have hooks for purse when seating
