点评:As Houston Bush International Airport (IAH) becomes an ever-bigger hub for connecting flights, the airport management has ramped up efforts to offer good sit-down meal options to cover a range of available traveler times and schedules. Bam Bam fills the niche of being quick, but still more substantial than a counter-service option. Like other IAH restaurants, they utilize a QR code-based menu where you can order and pay using your phone. However, even if you don't have a phone that's up to the challenge (like me; still holding onto my AT&T freebie), the waitstaff can accommodate you with their own tablet and credit card reader. You pay in advance when you order (including a tip, if you want to leave one on your credit card), and then, all you need to do is wait for your meal, eat, and go. It makes for a quick experience, but still gives you a chance to sit and rest.
Since this style of dining is found at many IAH restaurants, what makes Bam Bam stand out? Namely, this is a good option for a simple vegetarian meal if you don't want pizza, a sandwich, or breakfast. I got a rice bowl with vegetables and a sweet teriyaki sauce, and it was just the right thing for a good lunch recharge between flights. The service is a bit impersonal (no surprise, given the format), and the food itself is overly expensive for what it is, but I had absolutely no complaints with the taste or quality. Other vegetarian options are also available.
Do be sure to check the menu online in advance, as they change the offerings from time to time. But it's worth noting that the rice bowl was not on the online menu, but available when I went. Since a lot of the IAH restaurant offerings are more focused on meat, this is a viable choice if you have a dietary restriction, or if you'd just like to try a vegetarian dish.

既然这种用餐方式在很多 IAH 餐厅都有,那么是什么让 Bam Bam 脱颖而出呢?也就是说,如果您不想吃披萨、三明治或早餐,那么这里是一顿简单的素食餐的不错选择。我点了一份蔬菜和甜味照烧酱的米饭,这是在航班之间补充午餐能量的不错选择。服务有点不人性化(考虑到这种形式,这并不奇怪),食物本身价格过高,但我对味道和质量完全没有抱怨。还有其他素食可供选择。
请务必提前在线查看菜单,因为他们会不时更改菜单。但值得注意的是,米饭不在在线菜单上,但我去的时候有。由于 IAH 餐厅的许多菜品都以肉类为主,如果您有饮食限制,或者您只是想尝试素食,这是一个可行的选择。
