Had a lovely meal there for my birthday the food was just amazing and the quantity they bring out is so much.For the price you can’t go wrong. The staff were great and efficient and very friendly. I can’t wait to go back for a meal.

Been coming here for over 15 years so this review is long overdue! The buffet menu is such excellent value for money, even if, like us, you’re too full to take advantage of the opportunity to order more starters and mains! Am a big fan of the pork dumplings and they offer up some of the best prawn toast I’ve had with a noticeable layer of prawns. The duck in black bean sauce also deserves a call out with plump pieces of duck and a tasty sauce which isn’t cloying like some can be. Service is slick with hot plates and new cutlery and napkins for every course and there is always such a buzz to the restaurant which brings a great ambience (no music required).

Amazing food, lovely kind staff, fantastic value for a buffet. To come and get a massive array of delicious starters, along with soups, duck pancakes and mains all prepared to order- it really is too good to be true. As a family we come back as much as we can for the wonderful meal we get here.

I have been to many Chinese buffets, and had many Chinese takeaways but truthfully none compare to this. All we spoke about during our meal was how amazing it was, everything was full of flavour, wasn’t greasy, and the service was impeccable. During our last plate we felt so full we couldn’t finish, but because of how good it tasted we still didn’t want to leave the food incase it upset the chef. Best Chinese we’ve ever eaten at. And best buffet restaurant we’ve ever eaten at (including other food types like pizza etc.) We can’t wait to return! Highly recommend!

Poor experience. Ordered a mix of Chinese and Thai. Despite advertising otherwise, the Spice was non existent. The flavour was also bland. Prawns were rubbery and the whole order was just poor. Edible, but poor - and the Best thing I ordered was a can of tango. Maybe I should have ordered something else from the menu but I really don’t get the hype…

My family were visiting and wanted to eat at a Chinese Buffet. Banana Leaf was the only local restaurant I could find which offered an 'All you Can Eat' option, so I booked a table. The food was delicious - so much choice and good portion sizes. The service was first-class. And one extra little touch that impressed was the supply of 'warm,' fresh plates, and cutlery, with each course. In our experience, many more prestigious restaurants often serve hot food on cold plates! I have visited dozens of different restaurants, in many locations, over the years, and have to say that Banana Leaf stands out in terms of food quality, value for money and staffing. Even though the restaurant was very busy, we didn't feel.rushed, or, alternatively, forced to wait for our meal. We will definitely return and would recommend Banana Leaf for an enjoyable dining experience.

Eat as much as you like from the menu they don't try and Rush You the food comes out quickly and hot crispy dark ribs soup everything is excellent value about £16 pound person in the week And £18 at the weekend they have carlsberg export and San Miguel on Tap day also have Guinness in cans Wine is around £15 pound the bottle they have live music events here Live singers and stuff The staff are very friendly and helpful The place is kept very clean I've never had bad food here once You do need to book though can get very busy The king prawn wosabi is amazing The only problem is you normally full before you get to the mains as the starters are so good There is parking nearby near asdas and Iceland's but if you go at night you can park round the back for free It's a great way of trying new food the more of you that go the better as you can order lots of plates and try everything Great place to go for birthdays and celebrations Highly recommended

Food was average but the service and attitude of staff deserve minus five star. I came there with 2 year and 6 years. They just offered all you can eat menu with cost around 12 pounds for kids. Even 2 years old! 2 spoon ful of rice cost 12 pound for our little one. Little did we know they were offering different menu with cheaper options to regular! Shouldn't they give us a choice? Besides, they didn't even helped us opening the door when I was struggling with buggy and another kids. The customer saw this and helped to open the door. Don't know how this restaurant gets 4+ reviews. I am sure most of them are not genuine.

The food is great, my only issue would be that they clear your plates before you've finished, then ask what you want next without giving you time to decide. The wait for food was very slow. Hot plates arrive when you order but are cold by the time the food arrived. Good value for money but it takes a while.

Ordered for delivery through Just Eat. After an hour and 15 minutes it said my order was out for delivery, another half an hour goes by and suddenly it says delivered but we had not recieved our food and also my flat is only 7 minutes drive away from the restaurant. I called up and spoke to a very rude man who was very unhelpful. He would not take any ownership of the situation and just kept blaming Just Eat saying they were the ones who updated the order status. I said to him that its not Just Eat its them and whoever is controlling the order updates is not very good. When I told him that we had been waiting for nearly 2 hours for our food he said no and then went to check. He then came back and said he had spoken to the kitchen and the order is out for delivery, I advised that my Just Eat app said it was out for delivery 45 minutes ago (by the time of this part of the conversation) and he said "Well the driver has another delivery to make before yours!" to which I said "So after waiting 2 hours for my food it is going to arrive stone cold?!" To which the guy just replied "You can claim a refund through your Just Eat App". There was absolutely no apologies, no remorse and no trying to find a solution to make the situation better. By the end of the phone call I advised the man that this is the last time we will be ordering from them and that we will be writing bad reviews on every platform we can find and then hung up on him. Avoid this place at all costs!!! 2 hours wait for an order, cold when it arrived and very rude staff!!!

You cannot fault the food at this place however a massive let down is the service from one of the waiters, rudely seated us, when we needed new napkins just threw them on the table not carefully placed or presented well at all, simple thing is if you don’t like your job don’t do it.

We eat quite regularly here but everytime the staff are rude and seem to resent you being there spending money. Went to eat there last night, there was 1 table occupied on the whole restaurant. My 6 year old wanted a table with a plate that spun in the middle they refused even though he got a little upset as he was excited to try it. Then as my son is 9 they wanted to charge him £24.50! He's also a vegetarian and they don't have the best selection. I explained he will only eat edamame, boiled rice and garlic brocoli but they insisted he would still have to pay full price. We then left and went to opuz across the road who were much more accommodating and friendly. Won't be back there again after this

They were rushed to take the order when we arrived. The ambience was not suitable for people who admire light, slow music at all. The food was flavourless. I could not taste any flavours in vegetables and seafood. Chow Mein was a disaster. It does not represent authentic Thai cuisine at all. I would not recommend here.

Friendly, clean and quick service. Good quality food. Had one mistake requested egg fried rice received boiled rice. Exchanged quickly without out any fuss. Finally ,I always check to see how they keep their bathroom in this establishment it was clean except to have noticed that the carpets leading to it needed replacing. I'd recommend this establishment should one would visit Hemel Hempstead. It's set in the town centre. Parking is quite difficult but one can find pay and display close by. Before dinner visited Witherspoon close by and probably one of their best.

I made a mistake with delivery time and restaurant corrected time with me. Food came and all dishes were tasty. Only issue was with the rotis, which had become cold and dry but everything else - including portions were good.
