We all enjoyed our food which was tasty with plenty of choice. Staff on arrival were fine. We ordered two types of prawn crackers and one came quickly. We never got the other even after asking three times. This was either total disorganisation or the staff don’t take ownership of a diners complaint. When we finished the main course a make server came and cleared three plates out of four. He didn’t ask us if we wanted anything else, put his coat on and went out. No one else came to serve us or ask about drinks or deserts. The last plate remained on our table until we left. We then paid for our meal even though we wanted desert. Totally missed the 12.5% service charge, that was a shame! Mentioned the service to staff when leaving, not sure why we bothered. Hopefully not all Banana Tree restaurants have such poor service. We don’t expect the best from a chain in central London but up your game as the food was good.

We had an incredibly disappointing experience due to the poor service we received. There was one waiter with curly hair in a ponytail who was rude from the moment he began serving us. We decided not to say anything at first, as we had enjoyed our previous visit with a different server. However, his attitude never improved. When serving desserts, he was especially rude—he roughly cleared the table, snatching paper from beneath our plates, causing menus to fall onto the desserts. His behavior made us feel uncomfortable. Additionally, the previous week, we had used the fire exit without any issue. This time, after my husband left, the same waiter approached me and reprimanded me for using it in a manner that was condescending and unnecessarily harsh. While I understand it may have been wrong to use that exit, his rude and dismissive tone was unacceptable. When I later expressed my discomfort with his service, he neither apologized nor acknowledged my concerns. While my family enjoyed the food, this experience has left such a negative impression that we likely won’t be returning.

Great location but the food quality was terrible. The chicken was pink, no vegetables in the Massaman curry and staff were unhelpful.

Always delicious food, we have visited 2 of the restaurants and the food has been amazing in both. A wide choice of vegetarian & vegan dishes add tastes authentic and delicious. Wouid recommend.

I came here with a friend and were surprised in how busy it was. We were shown to our table but was a bit noisy so we moved. We had to wait a while to be served. We finally ordered food and cocktails which were really good. Didn’t have to wait long for food which was delicious. I had the Pad Thai with chicken which I recommend and then pancake for dessert which was also good. There are good choices on menu and you can get 2 for 1 cocktails. Would come again.

Vi fandt stedet tilfældigt, læste menukortet ude ved fortovet og gik ind. Det fortrød vi ikke. Der var travlt, så man skal være tålmodig med serveringen, men manden er helt klart værd at vente på. Helt sikkert ikke sidste gang vi kommer der

We visited twice in June. Once to celebrate the end of my daughter's exams and another for a bottomless brunch for my birthday. We were so happy with both visits - delicious food, great cocktails, excellent service, good atmosphere and good value. Both me and my daughter are vegetarians and the menu is brilliant for vegetarians and vegans. So good, we'll definitely be back.

Discovered this place after our theatre visit. We have been to Thailand so was looking forward to the lovely food, we had the 2 for 1 cocktails & we had the spring rolls, fire chicken wings which was spicy & delicious. My husband had the Ramen chicken gyoza for mains which he first tried in Thailand & loved, he said it was just as good and I had the pad Thai chicken which was delicious Our total bill was the cheapest while in London even with the 12.5% service charge that everyone seems to add these days👍

We were really looking forward to eating here. We have dined in a different branch before as a couple and were excited to take the kids It started off on the wrong foot. I was waiting over 5 mins for someone to come and seat us. They saw us, bit nobody came. Eventually we were seated and giving our orders. We were told half the kids menu wasn't available (which turned out to be incorrect) and just made the ordering process a little stressful. Eventually, waitress came back and advised that the food kids wanted was available...but after all that confusion, 1 dish came out incorrect! On to our drinks, it was 2 for 1 cocktails all day. The cocktails we ordered had hardly.amy alcohol in it at all. Probably how they offer them cheaper Our starters were oily and nothing much to write home about. Our kids had practically finished their meals before our mains arrived. They ordered desserts but had to wait over 20 mins to get served and ice cream. Terribly sloe, no offer of apology. Nothing We were running late to the theatre by this point and we had allowed over 2 hours for a pre theatre dinner. Ridiculous. We had to quickly eat our mains which arrived 1 hr after we ordered. Would never return here and would advise you to book elsewhere. I felt.on edge the whole meal due to its chaotic nature. Service is non existent

Unfortunately, the food was not great - it wasn't terrible, but it lacked taste. It's a pity as the menu looked great and the staff was fantastic.

We booked this restaurant on the back of other very positive reviews. It was such a disappointment. Although the service was great the food was uninspiring and tasteless. I had the seafood red curry and it had no flavour or spice at all. The mango and lime chicken was dry and chewy. Additionally the food came out within a couple of minutes of our placing the order which just emphasised that it was not freshly cooked. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Such a shame.

Banana Tree has yet again delivered. Both me and my partner popped in before the theatre for some dinner, without a reservation on a Wednesday, and they were very accommodating. Our server Szilvi made sure that the items on the menu we could eat were shown to us (my partner and I are vegan) and that we had eaten in time for our show. The vegan options on the menu are wonderful and offer a great selection.

El 20 de julio entramos en el hotel a las 16h, la entrada era a las 14h. Nos dicen que no está preparada, sin ninguna disculpa, nos dicen que dejemos el equipaje y luego lo suben, así lo hicimos y vimos que lo dejaban en el pasillo. Eso nos intranquilizó. Cuando llegamos a la habitación, el cerrojo de la puerta no funcionaba, las ventanas no cerraban bien y se oía todo el ruido de la calle. Menos mal que sólo era una noche, que noche tan horrible.

As it says in the title, this is the place to bear when it comes to authentic and deliciously made bubble tea. The service is always fast and I don’t think I can emphasise just how wonderful the drinks are. You get a lot of drink for what you buy plus there is just something special about the presentation of the drink and the way it is made that stays in your mind long after you finish the bubble tea. I particularly recommend the fruit teas, with some drinks it comes with fresh fruit in the drink that you can eat after! Always refreshing and sweet

una búsqueda de TripAdvisor para las nuevas lleva el nombre de Ran, el anterior restaurante coreano en esta dirección. Espero que esto pronto será corregido, porque Bibigo merece un gran éxito. Comimos esa deliciosa comida en el almuerzo del domingo que volvimos para una cena tarde la misma tarde (no recuerdo haber visto haciendo que antes en Londres). El precio fijo almuerzo con menú @ £9 y la noche uno @ £12 son excelente relación calidad-precio - eso es lo que elegimos - o hay una más amplia y más costoso menú completo. Nos gustó mucho conocer el joven y entusiasta director, Sr. Lee, que es un gran embajador Bibigo y nos alegramos de su asesoramiento sobre qué escoger. A la mayoría de los grupos no contenía al menos uno coreano - un reflejo de la calidad y la autenticidad de la cocina pero probablemente también de el desconocimiento relativo de los platos para los ingleses. Sospecho que esto cambie pronto y esa cocina coreana se convertirá en el siguiente gran historia. era tranquilo durante nuestras visitas domingo pero estoy seguro de que el tradicional coreano cordial que elevará el ambiente en horas punta, especialmente cuando el soju fluye! Muy recomendable.

Tuve la peor experiencia en este restaurante. El servicio al cliente fue extremadamente pobre. Querían sentarme en una mesa de 6 en la parte de atrás, cuando había una mesa de 2 en la parte delantera. Insistí en sentarme delante. Me di cuenta muy rápido que me querían fuera lo antes posible. Cuando llegó mi entrante estaba demasiado caliente para comer de inmediato, así que estaba esperando un poco. ¿Alguien vino a preguntarme qué estaba esperando? Supongo que se preguntaba por qué no he empezado a comer todavía. Me pareció extraño. Ella me preguntó si estaba esperando a la principal antes de empezar a comer. ¿No es extraño? Solo esperé unos 2 minutos. Vaya. Muy desagradable experiencia. No está claro por qué se comportaron de esta manera, considerando que el lugar estaba reservado normalmente. Había muchos asientos.
