The Scene – It's worth visiting this modern-day food automat for the amusement alone. Pumping with high-powered dance music and a hot-pink "Hello Kitty" color scheme, the compact space is standing-room only. All walks of life are drawn to the electric eatery, from post-bar snackers to kids in strollers. – – The Food – A wall of coin-operated machines spews out hot, fresh food for downing in a flash. Behind the brightly lit wall of glass-encased food is an actual working kitchen, which whips up classic American snacks with a Japanese twist. Highlights include a tasty…

Where is it?
by CSMobileUser
The Bamn no longer exists. I went to the address and was met with a clothing store. I called the number, no one answered.

So much fun with fried foods
by bethbeth
Maybe I was drunk, but just getting the food was fun. First you have get enough change, then you choose what you want. But the portions are so tiny you end up trying everything for fun. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back there again. It was just convenient at the time. If you happen to be near it, stop by.
- Pros: lighting, location, the whole process of getting food from a vending machine
- Cons: no place to sit, but that is the point
The Details on Bamn
When to Go:
The menu rotates throughout the day: Morning sees bagels and egg sandwiches, with a bonus of free coffee for any item ordered between 7am and 10am.
The Extras:
For a refreshing finish, try the Hawaiian shaved ice.
Look Good:
Change machines are on hand, but it's also possible--and at times easier--to order from the counter, which offers additional menu items.
