They have small plates and it is nice to try several things and share them with someone. The pulled pork bun and fried cauliflower were my favorite dishes. They have inside seating plus outside. We enjoyed the outside area, it was open but covered. They had a lot of interesting mixed drinks and were very good.

Went during restaurant week and had to wait for more than an hour to get seated. It was so full. The food here is really good, no wonder there’s a long wait time. I loved lamb noodles the most and the mushroom bun had a very interesting taste to it. The beef empanadas should also be mentioned since it was a delight with the sauce. I do want to give a shout out to Liam who was our server and was excellent at it.

This is an awesome spot within walking distance to my old apartment! Beautiful downtown location in what seems to be a remodeled historical home! Very quaint!

Honestly for how much I had heard about this place I was really disappointed in the flavors of the food. The food was really bland and not very good. Really disappointing. We had the pork belly buns which were OK, the garlic noodles which weren’t that good, Brussels sprouts, and chicken dumplings (no flavor). I wouldn’t recommend this place sadly.

We had a great night here! We ordered the cauliflower, oyster mushroom, pork with noodle, and two buns. They all went beyond my expectations with an interesting combination of ingredients. I gave it 4 out of 5 because the service was a bit slow – we were left there waiting for a long time to pay check, though understandably it was a busy night for them. Make sure to go before 7pm to get a table without wait!

Delicious, beautiful, interesting Asian inspired tapas. The portions are generous.( 2/person was plenty of food). Easy for vegetarians to have a great meal here. Lots of good cocktails too.

I’ve always considered Bang to be one of my favorite restaurants, but it has really gone down hill. I went during restaurant week this past weekend and I’m not sure I’ll go back anytime soon. The food wasn’t good and the service was horrible. We sat at a table for over 2 hours, waiting 20 minutes after finishing one dish before the next one came out. And they weren’t that busy. The tofu and broccoli was inedible and the desert came out with the ice cream completely melted into a puddle on the plate. The cocktails were the best part of the evening. Very disappointed.

This place was really cute. They had enough vegan options to have a full course meal and even gave us the option to have a vegan dessert with their dairy and egg free “sorbet”. Very nice option for our anniversary date night, loved the small plates and it had a good atmosphere and strong drinks! Would return.

Delicious food, friendly service, long wait, a little slow on the consistency of bringing out dishes, a couple came very late. I think it was on the kitchen not the server. They were out of a few of the better wine selections. But the Sin City drink was amazing! All of the food came out hot, expertly arranged, and delicious layers of flavor. Sat outside, was a little chilly, and they were out of propane for the heater. But all in all a great meal and experience. We had 7 in our group so we got to sample a variety of dishes. Some of my favorites were the seared ahi tuna tacos, the cauliflower, brussel sprouts, and beef empanada (and the aoli). Brussel sprouts and cauliflower many people don’t care for, but the way they are prepared and the delicious flavors and sauces make them worth a try.

Such a wonderful restaurant experience! So many delicious vegetarian dishes and great alcoholic beverages!! We have been to Bang several times over the last few years and the service has always been top notch! Bang has a full bar as well as a special drinks menu. This place is often busy on Friday and Saturday nights which might require waiting a short while for a table but they have expanded their outdoor seating which has made getting a table easier.
