GREAT first visit. started off well, being greeted at the door by a really friendly, smiling face. Was taken straight to our table, just past the bar. Was offered water and handed drinks and food menus at the same time, great as I hate having to wait ages just to see what's on offer. Our server/waitress came over and, now this is what I really liked, introduced herself to us, (you know who you are Gill/Jill/Tina/Tanya�) asked if this was our first time visiting, which it was, and welcomed us to Bang Bang. I've been to many places where the server just says hello and get their pads out ready to take our order. We decided to go with the ' feed me' option on the menu and what a great choice that was. So many mouthwatering dishes to pick from the decision was overwhelming but that was taken out of our hands. The first dish came out within 10 minutes, the drinks came out after 5. One by one plate after plate of mouthwatering, authentic food was delivered to our table, a fantastic variety of dishes, ranging from vegetarian, meat and fish from very spicy to very mild, (but flavoursome). Serving sizes where just right, non of us left hungry, we didn't even look at the dessert menu as we had no room left for any. Water was topped up regularly and cocktail and wine glasses never ran dry.
My only negative comment is the food was coming out faster than we could eat it so ended up with a small round table being slightly overrun with half eaten dishes and dishes waiting to be eaten. But is it really a negative when the food is served so promptly �
All in all I, and my friends, had an amazing first visit and a really great night out, we will definitely be back and will definitely relay our experience to our friends.
Thanks again and " it's not goodbye, it's bonjour" as Del boy would say �
Great atmosphere food was so tasty. Had the steamed fish salt and pep poo ered calamari. And the chicken were to die for. Will definatly go back
This 5 star review is purely a review on Ellen who was our server. She was friendly, attentive and had a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude. She was amazing and catered to all my allergies. Thank you for an amazing 2 hours Ellen! We will be back and happily recommend Bang Bang all because of you! Xx
Came here for bottomless brunch for my birthday on the weekend. Staff were really lovely and attentive and food was spectacular. Crowd favourite were the tender ribs, with meat sliding off the bone. Drink service was a little slow at times. Would definitely recommend to others as a great place for bottomless brunch with a fantastic food
We haven’t waited for more than 5min and were seated (group of 6 people) the staff was friendly. Our orders were quickly served. All the dishes tasted very good.

Had a catch up with friends tonight that saw us visiting Bang Bang RC for some flavour filled Indochina fusion foods. A lovely venue we sat in a fully closed in outdoor area and felt warm and toasty despite it being early spring.
I arrived early so just caught the last of the happy hour which runs until 6:30pm. The menu read really well and we found some great dishes to share despite our group being a little problematic in terms of eating requirements ( a vegetarian, three picky meat eaters, one of whom doesn’t like things too spicy).
Cocktails impressed and the Lychee & Lemongrass cocktail pretty as a picture while their version of Aperol spritz, the Graperol was a pleasant twist with added grapefruit juice.
Food wise I loved the meat free betel leaf, the salt and pepper squid and I loved the level of char on the satay chicken skewers, which came with quite a spicy satay (also was a big fan). The roti was excellent and our vegetarian friends curry dish came and she indulged while the rest of us chatted. This was a hot pumpkin dry curry full of peppercorns and green chilli. Knock your sock off hot I’m told.
Our waiting staff were fabulous and really helpful and engaging. That said, other than the vegetarian curry which only one of us was eating there was a fairly large wait until our final dishes came out... perhaps that’s just the order of things So perhaps we should have asked for all medium and large dishes to be served at once.
Our Thai roasted chicken was perfectly portioned for us and had nicely crispy skins. The best dish of the night imo was the beef ribs which were cut away for us and were full flavoured and moorish. Love these slow cooked meat dishes and they were nice accompanied by a fresh slaw and fries (just because).
After all that were were pretty full but tried the Five spice apple turnover and the coconut crem brûlée. I enjoyed both but found any hint of coconut was masked by the passionfruit. The brûlée’s was smooth and they nailed the cracking surface.
We definitely enjoyed our evening and I would dine here again and try some of the more adventurously spicy dishes.

We visited Bang Bang last night for a dinner catch up with friends and were surprised to see how unbelievably busy it was of a Monday night. The staff were very engaging but the attentiveness tended to taper off as the venue filled up. I enjoyed a lychee and lemongrass cocktail as we waited for the sharing style food to arrive.
We ordered the betel leaf, calamari and satay chicken skewers from the small menu. I’m usually a huge fan of betel leaf but was a little skeptical of this one as it was a vegetarian creation. Needless to say they are definitely tastier with meat but it was certainly flavoursome. I enjoyed the calamari but found the skewers a little hot for my palette. The waitress helped us navigate the spice of the menu and recommended we steer clear of several dishes as their offering does lean towards the spicy side.
Our main dishes were the beef short rib with coconut and cinnamon and Thai roasted chicken. My favourite was the beef but owing only to personal preference. We selected sides of roti and rice (outstanding roti) and she suggested we add the slaw and fries as well suited accompaniments. I’m not generally a fan of slaw and this one didn’t sway me but others at the table seemed to appreciate it.
As for desserts we had the coconut creme brûlée and the five spiced apple turnover which were a pleasant way to end the meal but not a must order. The coconut was so subtle it was barely recognisable. Overall tasty food and a well styled venue in a very accessible location, quite a lot going for it it would seem
Really delicious, good sized and very tasty Asian food. The marinated muscle betel leaf was simply to die for, the duck curry amazing. Funky venue, really good service. Thanks! Will def be back.
Nice place to catch up with friends... great service with a smile. We had the calamari, chicken satay, salt and pepper squid and roasted pork belly, kohlrabi slaw and beers. Food was great
Delicious and very tasty food! I have been here four time and each time the food has been great! Love the fish and the betel leaf, the papaya slaw was yummy as well. Great vibe for drinks and In summer this place is fabulous!
Can I give 10 stars?
This place was amazing.
Staff were absolutely the best.
Food was some of the most delicious, delectable food I've ever had.
Thank you for making our Anniversary an amazing one.
Great food. Service was on point. Always fun hanging out at Bang Bang
We dined at Bang Bang to celebrate a Birthday and after an initial hiccup with what menu we were entitled to, the manager Jill, was fantastic with the final decision, service and her professionalism was second to none. A wonderful gesture and outcome made the night. The food was sensational with no bad dishes at all and the atmosphere and ambience was perfect. Huge thank you to Jill and her team for making it a fantastic night. Highly recommend this restaurant.
I visited this place twice, both times were enjoyable. A quiet Wed night service was exceptional - very attentive, food tasted great too and served quickly. I didn't like how towards the end of the evening the staff kept bothering us if we finished yet. The inside ambience and choice of music was really good. The Mojito cocktail was probably the worst I ever had.
Came to bang bang for a bottemless brunch, I’m very early pregnant and didn’t want the group of friends to know I was. Shaun who works there was absolutely amazing! Made all my cocktails non Alcoholic, but looking the same as the others and very discretely placed all my drinks in front of me. I cannot rate him enough! Amazing service, drinks and foods were amazing, will definitely return :)
Bang Bang’s got it going on 🔥 Venue is gorgeous. Food was great. LOVED the salmon sashimi and the tofu dish. Short but nice selection of wine. If I had to point out anything negative it would be the main snapper dish was quite expensive for what you get. Other than that, fantastic! Defs will be back for more! 🤤
