    Read a lot of good & negative reviews and have to go with the negative. Just no flavours, very bland. The best part was the ice cream. Compared to Pacific and Amici this restaurant needs to step up. Very disappointing we could not take my complimentary resort birthday wine to have at this restaurant to enjoy with the ambience. The old Asian Restaurant was outstanding on the many times I frequented prior this new one. Our waitress was extremely helpful and the Manager curt. I would try again though on next visit.

    We went to bam bam for lunch on our first day on the island. We had the soft shell crab sando and chips (fries). The chips were insanely good and came with ketchup. I thought the sando was also really good but my husband didn’t love it as much. We went for dinner the next night and had the alcoholic ginger beer which was great. We also had the tuna tartare (6/10), the pad Thai (9/10 so good but the tofu was not cooked well) and the hibachi beef (6.5/10). Service was good and we liked it overall!

    Captive patrons - definitely need to have reservations! Seating and tables uncomfortable. Service very harried and overworked - half our dishes never arrived. What did arrive was good - fried rice, minced chicken in lettuce, pass on the yakitori. Make an early reservation if you can (service and chefs more fresh) and be prepared for a lot of children.

    Unfortunately the service was very poor ,the person who took our order did not return until chased down as to the reason only 1 meal turned up ? Asked for some more tap water once again never happened and lastly waited 20 minutes to order dessert but never came back so I went to the counter and paid the bill and left. NOT value for money sadly considering the venue and the clientele. Observation ,pleasant staff but need guidance on hospitality procedures which is a reflection of the person in charge of staff.

    Bam Bam was great. The hardest decision was what to choose from the great options available. The sweet and sour chicken and prawn and crab sticks were our choices and they were both awesome Mains we had the hibachi lemongrass beef and the hibachi chick in a coconut sauce. With a side of fried rice. So delicious. Hard to choose a favorite. As with everywhere you go on Hayman Island the service was fantastic. Desert we had the kafir lime cheesecake with the best shortbread I’ve ever had. Then we had the coconut pannacotta that was served in a coconut. Just awesome. Highly recommend.
