Sichuan Bang Bang Kenmore

What a fantastic little spot! The cocktails were absolutely beautiful, and our server Lucas really knew his stuff! Thank you, Lucas! Looking forward to seeing you again soon! xxx

I had the pleasure of being squeezed into this restaurant with my family and as much as we enjoyed it, all we could talk about was how cramped it was. <br/ There was no room to swing a dead cat, namely because the dead cat was already being prepared in the kitchen... Joking.<br/ <br/ Excellent food, but I am hanging out for the Peking duck night that I have been told they have. Hopefully the duck will be easier to swing around the room.

If you love spicy food, then the Sichuan Fish Hot Pot is for you! The burn just builds. We have never been able to go here without ordering it. The chicken fried rice and vegetable dishes are all good, but some of the fried dishes have been a little hit and miss lately. Overall the dishes are uniquely Sichuan and its a great place to order a bunch of dishes to share. Just be sure to book a table as they get really busy.  I noticed the menu has a couple new dishes at the Paddington restaurant so I'm looking forward to giving them a go.

The best Chinese in Brisbane outside of Sunnybank. Kudos to the owners for bringing a note of authenticity to the suburban Chinese takeaway and livening up the otherwise sparse culinary desert that is Kenmore.

I’ve ordered takeout from Bang Bang several times, but this was my first visit to the actual restaurant. It’s located in a cozy neighborhood with a nice mix of outdoor and indoor seating. The indoor dining area was a pleasant surprise, though the restroom situated in a nearby shed left a bit to be desired. The service was standard and met expectations for this type of restaurant at this price point. The food comes quite close to being authentic, but unfortunately, the flavors and spices are a bit toned down, preventing it from being true Sichuan cuisine. The standout dish is definitely the prawn and pork wontons, followed closely by the green beans (though they’re rated a spice level 2 when they really should be an 8!). Most other items are enjoyable, but they could definitely use more flavor and spice. Overall, it’s worth a visit if you happen to be in the area!
