We've been wanting to check this place out for a while and are so happy we did. We got our desired reservation time via Resy and were seated within moments of walking in the door. On a Friday night the main dining room was lively, so we sat outside. The ambiance was pleasant and quieter. The food was everything we could have hoped for, service was great, and we plan on coming back and bringing friends and family.

Pretty, trendy space with cute indoor and outdoor spaces. Great drinks menu and innovative food menu. NY Strip Steak Teriyaki Bento was one of the best Asian meals I've ever had. The NY Strip Steak was grilled to perfection, sashimi was on point, and sauce was amazing. Highly recommend for a business dinner, date night, or casual fun meet up with friends!

Honestly, this was one of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant. The entrance was in a counter-intuitive location. I walked around 3/4 of the place before I found it! Ha ha.The server was very nice. I asked about a couple of different appetizers and she had a nice conversation with me. I later observed another table where the server was pouring the beer from a bottle into mugs for them. They were there to... serve.The decor was interesting but not crazy. It was a large space, but organized in a way that it didn't seem cavernous.I asked for a wedge of like with my water, and two were brought on a small dish.There was a large selection of dishes, with quite a few specials. After the chat with the server, I settled on Jalapeno Hamachi with Bluefin Rolls.When the food arrived, the presentation was beautiful. It took me a bit to figure out how to eat the Hamachi with chopsticks, but I figured it out. The rolls were nice... but honestly a bit bland. I should have ordered something with a crunch or spice. It was still good, but my palate that night just wanted more stimulating.I wasn't a fan of the micro-greens. They looked good but got into my soy. I ended up removing them from the food before eating the rest of the rolls.In the end, I would highly recommend this place.Update: I returned 2 days later with work colleagues and had the Thai Toast. It was good, but my expectations fell short. The eggy middle made the texture quite soft. My table didn't finish them, unfortunately. Everything else was fantastic.Parking: Shares a lot with another restaurant. Was pretty packed close to the restaurants, but lots of space. Just had to walk a little.

Came to Raleigh, from Fayetteville, for a drs appt. Saw this place as I started home. Although they had already closed after lunch, they had no problem serving me.I ordered 3 different types of sashimi. The freshest, largest, and tastiest I ever had. All the extras were a surprise and a treat.I took the toll hwy home, due to the traffic, it took me the entire 1.5 hrs to finish the order.This is a "MUST-STOP" during every ortho appt from now on!

My wife and I had an outstanding lunch celebrating her birthday. The mocktails were delicious, the food was incredibly fresh and had a lot of taste, and we found the ambience terrific. We will for sure come back.Parking: Don't worry--most of the spots are around back, hard to see from the road.

Lulu Bang Bang is a must try if you’re in the RTP area, their flavorful and authentic flair on Asian dishes, won’t disappoint! The service was phenomenal and the suggestions from the waitstaff were very helpful as I decided on which dishes and cocktails to try. As pictured, I ordered the Asian Sticky BBQ, along with the Crispy Wontons. Both dishes were delicious and full of savory and authentic Asian flavors, that my palette was pleasantly impressed by. The two drinks pictured are, Mai Tai (Traditional Style) & Fruit of Hope, of which I truly appreciate the craft and flavor profiles in both beverages, well done! I’m excited for my next visit, which will be very soon!

This place is swanky and beautiful! The service is fantastic. The food wasn't as good as I hoped. The Tom Yum was more like straight coconut milk than a broth and the noodles for the Singapore Street Noodles were dry. We added the Tom Yum to it and boom, fixed. The Bang Bang Shrimp were so crispy and juicy! Definitely a hit. Having a toddler, I also love a kid's menu that serves the style of food of the restaurant, not just yucky chicken tenders and corndogs.

So good it's unbelievable. Atmosphere, service, and food are all 10 stars. I could eat there every day. They have an extensive menu and something for everyone's taste. Yummy cocktails too.
Good food and nice service, but the atmosphere was rather basic and left something to be desired.

Enjoyed an early Saturday night dinner with my son. We had two mocktails (Pineapple Express) that were wonderful. The two of us shared a small sushi boat and we loved all four rolls. Nemo in Bang Bang was our favorite! Waitress was very attentive. Really pretty restaurant building. Would return.
