Bam Bam

October 2023: Had 40 minutes before boarding and stopped by for a beer 🍺 and a small bite. Tried the spicy tuna sushi roll and a local IPA on tap. Nice place to hangout at the airport. Good vibes and friendly service. Overall, rating five ⭐ across the board. Airplane restaurants usually are not great. But this place seemed pretty good.

Had a few hours to kill while I waited for my layover at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, and stumbled across Bam Bam as I made my way to my upcoming gate. For a meal at an airport you could do a hell of a lot worse for quality. The broccoli and cauliflower were tossed in a delicious General Tso’s sauce, giving a hearty bowl of vegetable and grains extra vibrancy. And as this is simply a rice bowl with vegetables, you’re looking at an easy vegan, plant based meal in the airport! To help both wash down my meal and also pass the time, I also picked up a bottle of Momokawa Sake. This bottle is the Momokawa Diamond, which is a medium dry with apple notes, giving the drink a lovely fall feeling. Between the quality nutrients, the solid drink, and the interesting atmosphere, Bam Bam is a definitely worth a stop if you’ve got the time to spare! With a belly this full I’m sure to nap on the plane.

Gluten Free at the airport. How awesome was it to find out they cook with gluten free soy sauce and many of the appetizers and entrees are available as safe for celiacs and those sensitive to or avoiding gluten. Our first time here and we are impressed with the speed of service, the quality of the food and overall experience. Order right from the table or bar via an iPad, pay at the seat. Swipe stations for cards. Multiple outlets for charging phones and other devices. Definitely check them out if you are in Terminal D by Gate 10 when traveling. A definite repeat visit is in the works.

This place is a good choice for something a little different if you're getting tired of big American meals. Nice mix of flavors and a funky online tablet based ordering system. Quick and helpful staff. Wide range of drinks available but no Sake! Bit pricey but quality meals deserve it. If you're from Sydney it's cheap!
