Not a true dim sum place - no carts walking around that you choose from. They bring each item to you one time, and you either accept or decline.
My husband and I got every item on the menu, one item twice, dessert, and 3 or 4 wines/cocktails. Bill was $431, and I left feeling slightly hungry. Each dish is yummy, but very small. The tiny portion sizes combined with price was off-putting, but loved everything else.
You sit at community tables or the bar; no private tables. Our meal was a unique experience. Nice restaurant for a special occasion.

Gunshow is a unique concept and I was very excited to try it. Despite not loving my experience, I do recognize it could be entirely different if I were to return in a few months.
We had a later reservation and the place was packed. You are seated at community tables and the staff are constantly rotating around. It’s loud, feels chaotic, and I immediately felt overstimulated by the environment.
The bar cart is a cool idea, but it feels limited. You can’t request a custom drink if nothing on the menu strikes your interest. Also, almost every glass of red wine was over $20… it felt aggressive even for Atlanta. I asked for a cocktail that was dry and spirit-forward, which I was informed was nothing on the menu. We ultimately tried the “Tomato” which was “very popular” and was described as akin to a dirty martini. Except, it was sweet, and didn’t taste very balanced.
The dishes were very unique and I can safely say I haven’t had anything like them before. Most, unfortunately, were not to my taste, leaning too sweet or too salty, and maybe just too ambitious in some cases. I feel like some could be improved if they were not so “mass produced”.
The service began to slow down and after 45 minutes we had maybe tried half the dishes. I was feeling a little burned out on the atmosphere and didn’t want to wait around much longer so we cashed out and left.
The grand doozy was the bill. For about half the dishes and two drinks was $230 before tip. I imagine if you tried everything the bill would easily be $400-500 or more. I’m always open to a new experience but be prepared that this is an expensive experiment.

Just say yes to everything that comes out and you won’t be disappointed. Certainly one of the most interesting dining experiences of all time. I don’t know of a more expensive place you can eat at while wearing a t-short and shorts.

Cannot recommend this place - was treated rudely from the start upon arrival. Was never offered two of the dishes - on the menu that we were excited for - over our allotted dining time- despite mentioning as much to our various servers. My party of two has a finned fish allergy, yet we were offered caviar and unagi dishes more than once and not the dishes we either wanted or were able to eat. I was specifically asked about allergies when booking with a $75 penalty for not going (which, in retrospect, would have been a better use of my money than $150 worth of disappointment). Also - this was for my birthday. Very, very disappointed and will certainly be campaigning against anyone I care about attempting to dine here.

I've done Gunshow for my birthday the past two years now and it has impressed each time. I am both an avid cook and admirer of those who create unique dishes I would never think of, so this is a great place to be inspired. My only complaint, is that both times they forgot it was my birthday (not a huge deal) and someone else at a table near me did not have their birthday forgotten haha. It's almost a tradition now and I'll probably be back next year.

Such a cool experience! Loved every bit of it!

I have been coming here for years and it never disappoints. The service is exceptional and they absolutely care about dietary issues. The food is so thoughtful and the cocktails are menu focused and delicious.

Cool concept. I appreciate that the chefs get to take creative freedoms and put out unique dishes. Some dishes hit more than others, but thats what you sign up for.
Piece of advice: itd be helpful to know what kindve dishes are coming so you can plan. People may like something else more, but not end up ordering it because they picked other options.
I am traveling on business. Walked up to have what I believed would be an amazing experience, only to be told I could not be seated for 40 minutes. The restaurant had seating times in order to rotate tables. There was plenty of space for one. I drove an hour to be told this. The website says walk -ins welcome. No reservation needed, unless 7 or more and only a month in advance. Just flat confusing and unfortunate. Update your website for people to understand how seating will work, lest more people will feel the same. Doubt I will try to do this again next time I am in town. oh, as I drove by people had sat down in a space that what appeared was available when I arrived.

I just left here and am currently sitting in El Rey Del Taco while writing this review. My entire party left Gunshow feeling more than a little disappointed. The service was good, the servers and hostess were all very nice and checked on us often. The issue here is the food. When a dish consists of 2 small bites and costs upwards of $20, it's hard not to feel cheated. And absolutely everything tasted like cumin. We probably tried 90% of the dishes they offered us but we ALL left hungry. Be prepared to leave unsatisfied and underwhelmed.

Unique, Fun, and Delicious – A Must-Visit Dining Experience! Gunshow is a one-of-a-kind restaurant that brings bustling city energy and imaginative, forward-thinking dishes to the table. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is vibrant and electric, with a unique dining experience where food is presented tableside by the chefs themselves. The roving cocktail cart adds to the excitement, giving diners a fun, interactive show. Wherever you're seated, you have a great view of the open kitchen, where the chefs work in perfect harmony, preparing each dish with care and precision. Gunshow is an experimental dining experience, so be prepared for bold flavors and innovative, tapas-style dishes that will push you out of your comfort zone. The menu rotates seasonally, showcasing the best ingredients, so there’s always something new to try. A special shoutout to the Banana Pudding! I typically don’t go for this dessert, but the staff highly recommended it, telling me it’s the owner’s grandmother’s recipe. It was absolutely incredible—rich, comforting, and reminiscent of the homemade desserts my grandmother made. Definitely a highlight of the meal! Highly recommend Gunshow for anyone looking for a unique, fun, and delicious dining experience!
Parking: There is a free lot right behind the building!

A fun place with what is essentially a tasting menu, but instead of just reading about it they'll show you the dish and you can pick it or not.
Super friendly service. Casual and fun environment. The food is pretty good. A bit pricey but worth trying once.
