My husband and I were the only customers in the restaurant which I thought could be a positive.However. the servers/bartenders could have cared less that we were there. Our service was subpar and getting to the bathroom is dark and scary. Do not go down there alone! The food was very good!

The reviews online are very deceiving or the newly reopened establishment just does not live up to the previous one. Waited outside to be seated for our reservation when no one came. So we finally decided to go in, the ambiance looks like a night club which it turns into at a certain time. We were seated at one of the high tables. There were only a few people but it took forever to get a server. When they finally took our order, it took another 20 mins to get our order, well some of it. My drink never came, I saw the bartender make drinks for people who barely walked in. The bang shrimp was “okay”

The drinks were enjoyable, but I found the food to be overpriced and not that great. It’s a charming little spot, but not one I feel the need to revisit. I’m glad I went, but it was a one-time experience for me.

Went to Bang at old location and LOVED it. The ambiance is different. My fav roll is now gone. Just wasn't popping like before. Only about 4 tables there yet the service was super slow. Not sure why!?

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.
