   Listen I understand it was Valentine’s Day and it was busy. However it took almost an hour for my girlfriend to get her food, my food was brought out first and I wanted to wait for hers. By the time hers came out, mine was cold and we just asked for it to be warmed up and took it to go. Her sushi was “mid” at best and not worth the price tag

   We were so excited to spend our last night in San Diego at this fun trendy sushi place. The vibe was vibing but we had to move tables because the large table behind us was obnoxiously loud. We were moved to the upstairs lounge. Not sure if this is why our service was so slow. There was one waitstaff and a hostess. We ordered 3 rolls and it took over an hour to receive 2 and another 15 minutes to receive the last. The sushi was ok, I was hoping for so much more. As we finished up dinner, the Dj was setting up and they seemed to have had more staff arrive. It was a bit of a disappointment.

   The staff needs an incredible shout out based on our experience. Individual servers that helped our table went above and beyond to make our experience great. The manager was super helpful and I couldn’t be more grateful.

   This was the worst experience we have ever had at a restaurant. If you are expecting the same vibe as the old location you will be very disappointed like we were. It is nothing like it. Our drinks were terrible and we barely got service. They over charged us for things we didn’t even order. Service was terrible. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

   They had no rice, nobody was there but there was a $35 cancellation fee on open table published (prob not enforced). They sell sushi, and didn’t get their rice delivery,really?

   I had eaten at the old Bang Bang location multiple times and always enjoyed it and recommended it to others. This first visit to the new location couldn’t have been much worse. We were seated upstairs with one of other group and while there were several tables on either side of the room, we were seated right next to the only other people there. The speakers in the area weren’t working and it is too bright, so our tables could hear everything the other was saying and it felt like we were seated together. The Menu looked pretty much the same so we ordered some of our favorites. The wings came up with a difficult to penetrate breading and the Gyoze were rock hard and served with seemed to be a watered down soy sauce. The fried rice came and had no flavor. The rollls were next and were mushy, not wrapped well, and tasted bad. I HATE complaining but our server, Jesse, was such a good guy, we just had to be honest with him. We didn’t eat most of our food and they discounted it all, but other than Jesse being a great guy and being very apologetic, the experience was bad and I can’t imagine going again unless they can turn things around. And I do honestly hope they do, but until they do, and advertise the changes so everyone knows, you should skip it.
