Banana Tree exceeded my expectations with its fantastic food selection and impeccable service. The variety of dishes they offered was impressive, and each one was a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. From aromatic curries to tasty stir-fries, there was something for everyone. The standout dishes for me were the mouthwatering banana blossom salad and the fragrant coconut-based laksa soup. Both were bursting with authentic Southeast Asian flavors that transported my taste buds to new heights. Moreover, the service at Banana Tree was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. If you're a fan of Southeast Asian cuisine or simply looking to explore new and exciting flavors, I highly recommend visiting Banana Tree. Their fantastic food and top-notch service make it a must-try restaurant.

Enjoyed our time here at Banana Tree, everything was hot and bubbling with flavour. Portion sizes for the mains were decent but everything else moderate size. The highlight was definitely the hot chicken satay sticks with the peanut butter sauce! đ€€
For dessert, I got the chocolate fondant with coconut ice cream which tasted gorgeous but the fondant could have been warmer and runnier; it felt a bit stiff.

Everything was 10/10. Food was very much too my taste. I had pad Thai and I'm not overacting when I say it was the best one I had. Also the atmosphere was a very nice relaxing place only thing missing was jazz music but that's not a big problem. Saving the best for the last was the service, I was shown options and deals that was very cost effective. She always had a smile on her face and was very friendly, which boosted the atmosphere for me. Thanks Daisy and Bananatree I'll be sure to come again.

Amazing experience, really enjoyed the food and Liviu who served us was super friendly and so helpful with understanding everything about the dishes they had available.
Food tasted fresh and hot, which was a good sign because we got to enjoy it more.
Would definitely recommend for people to try out and for anyone who's a Thai lover give them a go

Great deal with 25% off on food through the Meerkat app! Visited during school holidays for lunch, had a delightful meal. Steamed Chicken Dumplings were a highlight, and the Ramen with Gyoza and Pak Choi plus Thai Calamari were winners. Service was top-notch! Just remember, you can't combine the 25% off with the 2 for 1 mocktails/cocktails offer. Choose one or the other. Enjoy your meal! đđČđč

Service by Daisy was really lovely, very bubbly and friendly also very welcoming. Helped explained the food well and overall a lovely waitress to have. Only thing was the Banana fritters were a bit on the bland side but all the other food was deliciously tasty! :)

Went in Saturday night and not all tables where full. The food was fine ( when it turned up at different times) but the service was the worst I have had for a long time, Iâm sorry to say! Very slow on food and drink. Head waitress ignored us when passing and we tried to ask her something several times. The waiter was very sorry that it was all coming out late ( food and drink) but got to the point we had, had enough of apologies continuously. We just wanted a nice meal and drink while we had a uninterrupted conversation. Very expensive for not so relaxed meal out. I would not recommend! But a positive - my sister went at lunch and said she loved it, so may be just a lunch time place to go?!?? X

Just been in there tonight it was really nice the staff give you time to choose your meal whilst arriving early enough so you can order a drink and have a casual drink whilst choosing your meal. We ordered both starters and main the starters arrived after about 15 mins which was nice and hot and once finished the main arrived again after about 15 mins. The staff and the food was spot on and would highly recommend the only downside for me which is why i gave 4â and not 5â was no special board and a lack of choice over deserts but that's me being fussy.
Sally Low
Loved it here. I asked advice on the menu because I donât like too much spice and they recommend the perfect meal for me. Mango Chicken was absolute delicious. Wasnât too pricey either and two for one cocktails was great. Would definitely go back.

I'm a great lover of this kind of food as I am a Wagamama lover too. ( disappointed it's not coming to Chelmsford ).
Service was good but it was lunch and a little quiet so nothing to complain about. The food was amazingly tasty and I enjoyed it very much as well as my party as we was all trying each other's food!. I can understand what other people are saying about the portion sizes but to me it was sufficient. I had soupy noodles as a main and black rice pudding with coconut ice cream for desert. It was my birthday and they brought out a nice little chocolate pudding dessert with a candle on top for free for my b'day which was a nice touch.
Looking forward to going back then trying other things on the menu

Amanda Boyse
Lovely food! Would recommend 100%. Staff are very friendly, welcoming & helpful. Great menu for vegetarians too!
Sue Britton
The food was nice although fairly expensive for what it was / portion size. The service was poor, very slow and we picked a quiet time to go on purpose. Seems only 3 of the staff could take orders / get bills and all the others are just servers (although nobody explained this so when we tried to get a server to help & she just ran off it didn't really do them any favours). On top of that one of the people who could take orders was also seating people.
One lovely Asian lady was very on the ball & sorted us out as we were about to walk out but then sadly she went on her break, so we were down to two or could take orders & slow & unsatisfactory service.

Delicious food but works out a bit expensive when you buy combo ups. A bit on the noisy side with youngsters running about.
