- Stina P.December 7, 2016unbelievable experience! dim sum style ordering where chef delivers plate right to table. awesome for 4 people menu changes every day. try banana pudding and braised lamb if you can 🔥
Upvote4Downvote - EaterJanuary 19, 2015Eater National 38 member: Keep a sharp eye out for chef de cuisine Joseph Ward’s tweaks on standards, like a reinvented beef Wellington with crisp pastry or his glorious, gloppy "West Coast Burger."

Adam TornesMay 24, 2016Really excellent from a former Top Chef runner-up. Delicious cocktails and food with unique dim-sum style serving. Only seat people on the hour so get reservations far in advanceUpvote1Downvote
James Royal-LawsonApril 4, 2015We said yes to everything that was shown to us. The pace was frantic, and the food incredible. Save space for the warm banana pudding!

Marcus McDanielApril 16, 2017Incredible. Prepare for an experience with chefs bringing dishes around. If you pass something up it won't come back so take a look at the menu when you sit down and get an idea of what you want.
UpvoteDownvote- EaterJanuary 7, 2014You don't order from the menu, but by taking dishes off of a tray or cart that's passed around by the chef who cooked the food. It changes often and has had pork skin risotto and a West Coast burger.

Kirstie CastaneiraJune 24, 2016menu is different each week, but all was incredible. the cooks bring around each option ready-to-eat and you can say Y/N. awesome experienceUpvote1Downvote
Stephanie M.July 5, 2013Try as much as you can and go with a group. It's fun to share each dish because you'll end up getting a lot of dishes. Don't miss out on dessert: the play on cookies and cream is otherworldly.Upvote1Downvote
Tasting TableAugust 5, 2014In a nod to modern dim sum, Gunshow's chefs themselves (Gillespie plus two other talented chefs) cook, and then bring out, creative, ever-changing dishes to each table, making for a great show. Read moreUpvoteDownvote
Tatiana HanSeptember 19, 2016Must order the banana pudding straight from the oven. Think 2-3 dishes per person (not including dessert) when sharing!

NayAugust 17, 2013This resto is not for you if you like to check out a menu ahead of time, & don't have an open mind/palate. Menu changes daily, but if the pork belly, veal or mushroom chorizo is on the menu, get it.

We really enjoyed this concept and the food but will be able to enjoy it more next time. The food can come pretty fast so pace yourself. Don't be afraid to ask a chef to come back. It can be loud.UpvoteDownvote
David StreetApril 28, 2016It is the best food in ATL! It is loud, crowded, table will not be ready when you arrive but it is worth it!!!Upvote1Downvote
Kelly PJuly 30, 20148pm during the week was a great time for a reservation. We got to try almost the entire menu. Desserts were amazing!Upvote1Downvote

JenniferApril 13, 2016People hype the banana pudding but it was my least favorite. To be fair, everything else was amazing. Like this crudo.
