Arrived here at 2pm, a party of three looking forward to a return visit to Banana Tree . we'd eaten here a few months ago and really enjoyed the atmosphere & the food and had really good service. This time it could not have been more different. The place was nearly empty but the sign said "wait here to be seated". so we waited... and we waited.... and we waited... No greeting. No acknowledgement that we were there. One person behind the bar taking an age to make a coffee , another (male) member of staff sat by the door on an endless phone call , resolutely not seeing us and a third (female) employee slowly drifting between tables with bits of food. "I'll be with you in a minute" she said then vanished for another three minutes. After 8 minutes of standing round being ignored in an almost empty restaurant we walked out to go elsewhere else and suggest you do the same. Such a shame how a place can change in so short a time from being really excellent to totally inept.

I went there with my son and I had the 2 for 1 mocktails which both of them have to arrive at the same time and stick to one type only which wasn’t great. The chicken dumplings should not have soaked in the sauce, the sauce should have been served in the pot as the dumplings was too salty. Calamari was meaty but not crispy. Mains were okay but not impressed with the price as it came to over £70 for 2 of us.

Delicious food, great service and chilled vibes. This is my favourite spot to eat. The food is super tasty. My favourite is the Singapore chicken laksa soup, chicken satay skewers and the spring rolls. I have tried everything except the seafood dishes and all I can say is everything I had is yum yum yum.

Honestly don’t know how anyone could say the food here is good. I haven’t written a review for a place in years but was genuinely so disappointed in food/staff/atmosphere of this place that I felt the need to. James is way too intense and honestly feels like he’s a moment away from punching someone. Seating was awkward, like we’d just been plonked between two big tables as they’d run out of space. Irina is rude and standoffish and it felt like she didn’t want to be there. When she approached our table she just stood there, none of the usual prompts you get like “can I start you off with some drinks”etc and none of the usual warmness you get from a waitress Started with a Long Island iced tea which tasted weak but the bar staff was lovely. Food came less than 10 mins after ordering which was the first warning sign. I had the sweet and sour vegan bites dish. The vegetables had a weird tang to them (like they had been sitting in a pot for a while) and the prawn crackers tasted a little stale. Overall it just did not look or taste fresh or seasoned (which you can see from the picture). More like a boil in the bag sauce and frozen veg. If the cheek of charging £15:95 for it wasn’t bad enough the 12.5% service charge was. Really don’t see the point of it, especially when the service is terrible. It’s also so awkward having to ask for it to be removed. Would not return again, even if you paid me.

Very good atmosphere, superfriendly and easy to chat to, serviceminded staff. Food was !AWSOME! Consistecy, flavour, *chefs kiss*. Good sized portions, sooo full. Chicken dumplings are to die for. Drinks 2for1 all day everyday (but prices acordingly). 10/10 reccomend! All the love from Norway!😘

Stopped by for lunch during a shopping trip. Really really enjoyed it. Lovely service from John and reasonable price for what we had. My wife went with the Chicken Pad Thai with was really generous and hot (temperature, not spice) when served. Really fresh. I had the chilli, lime leaf chicken - it was spicier (it does have a red chilli on the menu) but not crazy hot - more of a little kick really. Again, very good and comes with sticky jasmine rice and crackers. All in all a nice spot for lunch - a great welcome and service, good food - what more could you want?

Lovely food, friendly service — did take a while to come and take our order, and didn’t like that we had to get up to the station to pay, especially because then when there was a queue we were in the way for severs. Plus sat on a two right near the bar and kitchen port, which meant when severs were moving quickly nearly had a few meals spilt down my back
