Banzai Exterior, Jan 2013 Banzai Sushi Bar & Lounge was a sushi restaurant in the South Wedge. They had a full bar and an assortment of specialty rolls, nigiri and sashimi, along with a few soups and other appetizers like edamame. The menu had a variety of craft cocktails in addition to wine and beer. Banzai had the same owner as the late Piranha.
They opened in early October 2012. In March 2015 Banzai moved from its original location at 682 South Ave to 503 South Ave, the former home of the South Wedge Colony at the corner of South Ave & Alexander St, a much larger space that allowed Banzai to become more of an entertainment venue than its previous premises allowed. They closed in September 2015. Links Reddit discussion re: closing
