Wonderful place with one of the best platters and fresh ingredients at reasonable prices, optimal hygienic conditions and with a really friendly and professional staff.
Visited this place on my birthday during the happy hours to have drinks. They have a good selection of drinks which turns out very reasonable during happy hours. The staff is super friendly and they even gave me a free cupcake since it was my birthday.
Huge and varied menu with a cool industrial feel. The wait staff were prompt and pleasant and everything we had was delicious - if slightly overpriced! Make the most of the lunch specials there and happy hour for 2:1 cocktails!
So good!! Have lived more than half my life in South East Asia and am so happy to have found very similar flavours at Banana Tree! Must try the Amok, the chicken dumpling and the Banana Tree Spice Noodle. Only thing is you do come out feeling extremely full from the heaviness of the noodles. But so worth it nonetheless!

After a mediocre dining experience a few years ago, I was pleasantly surprised by both the service and the food upon my recent return to the Battersea branch of Indochinese restaurant Banana Tree.
After short wait in the reception area, my friend and I were led to one of the private tables off the main room. As a "shared dining" hater, I was happy not to be seated at one of the long, communal tables.
Both vegos, my friend and I shared the aubergine with caramel sauce for our starter. It was cooked to perfection and super-tasty. For mains we both went for the Blackened Monk Noodles - mine sans-egg to veganise the dish. The portions were massive with a tonne of perfectly-cooked tofu and tasty, crunchy veg served with the noodles. The noodles also came with a huge rice cake and crispy corn cakes. After having a starter too, I couldn't quite finish my main but I put in a good effort!
The menu is pretty big without being overwhelming and all allergens and dietary options are clearly marked. I often find dining in Asian restaurants a little tricky given that fish sauce is secretly hidden in many recipes; not so at Banana Tree as "vegetarian" dishes that have fish sauce in them are clearly marked.
At around £16 per head including drinks the huge meals are great value and I'd definitely go back for a cheap but tasty meal.
Grt meal....will be back. I was there for a surprise birthday party with my friend ,we had a group of 12 pepole ( we book the table ) even though we hd to wait for the table. (well worth ) .food was fantastic &staffs r really friendly and i love chiphadai...thats my favourite.we drop a birthday cake early in the eveing to surprise our friend. we thought they just get the birth day cake end of the meal just like that as other restaurant do.it was really nice of them , host in the door and his collegues they gave a great surprise for my friend.birth day song from the waiting staffes.. and even near tables start to sing...
only one complaint is its....to noisy
Amazing food. This restaurant serves amazing Indo-china cuisine, we are NEVER disappointed. Its got a great set up inside, nice and modern unlike some other Asian restaurants, and the service is prompt. Sometimes I think the staff have a little trouble with English but they are very friendly and always get our order correct, even if you feel they've looked at you blankly after you asked for something specific. We have never booked and always get a table. If you are short on cash go between 6 and 7 pm and you will get the cheaper version of the menu- a smaller selection but it comes with rice and asian salad for £6 or £7 and all the starters are £3, excellent value! Order the money bags as a starter!
Great modern thai. Food was excellent but service was lacking. I can't count how many times our server rolled his eyes. The owners obviously spent alot of time on the motif and but need to spend more time picking their waiters. If the food wasn't as good I would've left. Charred pork was excellent and my wife had the pad thai with chicken which she says was "amazing."
Great food. Nice staff, quick service and great food. It is a canteen but it looks much better than that in fact.
Really good food! Been twice, enjoyed both times, will definately be going back. Food came promptly and decent service too. It can get a bit noisy though, still very good! Only 5 mins from clapham junction tube and train station

We passed this place many times but never had the courage to walk in until today.
My grandson wanted dumplings, so we thought we give it a try, he choose something else 🤣
As you enter you can sense the ambiance and atmosphere they were welcoming and with different corners to sit, you really feel at home.
It really puts Wagamama to shame, the service was good, the food tasted amazing, their non alcoholic drinks were plenty, and freshly squeezed, I can go on and on.
I will definitely be going there more often.

Food that we had and shared were all fantastic especially the starter squid with its very special sauce. It was my number one choice. The Singapore Laksa was likewise delicious. It wasn’t the same as the Laksa in Singapore but you won’t regret trying it when you miss this popular and mouthwatering Southeast Asian dish. We also tried their ramen because of the oddly cold autumn weather and we tried two options and it didn’t disappoint. It was unique and delicious. We shared a mixed pad thai that was served with a lot of chicken sliced and prawns. All I can say is… hmmmm yummy!!! We were likewise given a very special dessert. A lava cake served with vanilla ice cream and it completed our meal outstandingly.
Overall, their food was excellent but for someone who is very particular with service, I would say that all of their staff, particularly, Silvio elevated out standard. He took care of us. He constantly asked us if we were doing alright with the right timing making sure that he is not interrupting our conversations, he knows their selections quite well, and most especially, served our food quickly with his welcoming attitude.
I am definitely recommending this place to my family and friends. Our experience here is highly recommended.
Silvio was a very on it, food and drinks came out quick. Very friendly. I will definitely be coming back. Everything tasted great. And great value of money! I got 1 main 1 pudding and 4 cocktails for £53 and worth it!
The vibe and service felt very generous.
Food was great, was staying nearby and came back the next day.
We had enough points on their loyalty card to get any free entree the next day.
**also noticed they do free food on Sundays for kids which is sweet.
Recommend the vegetarian tofu Kari/curry.
Excellent venue, most people book but we walked in and were seated instantly even though the restaurant was busy. Amazing food, great variety and all the dishes were as described and better. Fresh ingredients and fabulous presentation and adequate portions. 2 for 1 cocktails all day every day are a great bonus!! Sandeep provided excellent service throughout the meal! Not rushed to leave which is great for a Friday night! 😊
We had a lovely time in this place. I love thai food and everything was special. The waitress was attentive and friendly. I had the Singapore soup which was very tasty. Will come back x
Marta and Sanil was amazing. Marta joined half way through our bottomless brunch and was so lovely and friendly. Made our experience better 🥰 we will be coming back… when she’s working 🥰😂 the food was great, just the bottomless drinks took a little long to make!
Staff were friendly however one memeber of staff stood out her name was Jo with great professional attire consisting of a black blazer with a black and white zebra style dress with addias shoes. The food was lovely and all day 2 4 1 cocktails was great I would recommend for a nice date night or out with friends
