Coconut Tree Noodle Bar in Canterbury

Delicious ... Definitely the best in town. Great for gluten free options too 😀

Food was good, had a good time. Handy location in central Herne Bay. 👍

Fantastic restaurant. Lots of menu choices and specials of the day. Even met the owner, Victor. Who cooks in the kitchen too. He obviously has a great relationship with his staff as they were all very happy in their work. Great service. Would highly recommend if you are visiting Herne Bay and also if your a local and have not yet discovered The coconut tree 🌴

my wife n I had some delicious food, great place to eat on sat nite. I recommend to anyone who's in hernbay go to the coconut tree.

Went there tonight for a date night and had a fantastic meal

Getting better for customer service 🙌 . Last timebi was ignored for the complementary little toffee sweet. I felt embarrassed but this time they made sure made a big difference a little hospitality and a tiny desert 4 yo 5 stars and dinner was lovely

Had a lovely meal. Food was delicious and service was very good

Really friendly place, great to pop in for a main at lunch time or a full-on meal for a special occasion. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of the food is superb. We went for a quick lunch with friends this time but looking forward to going back soon for starters as well with the family - looking forward to those garlic prawns. Lovely!

I loved this restaurant until a really bad experience…

The staff were super sweet and the food there is unreal. Definitely recommend.

This is a lovely Japanese restaurant with a brilliant takeaway service. We have only tried the Katsu Curry with noodles so far but I’m sure the rest of the menu is equally excellent. The ambiance of the restaurant is excellent and the staff are equally so friendly that they gave me a complimentary dessert of marshmallow fritter with ice-cream. Delicious!!

Absolutely hiden gem in Herne bay ❤️ went for holiday for Herne bay and struggled to find nice food to eat till ordered on Uber eat just super tasty and I think best oriential food what I tried so far

Food is so tasty everytime and they happily accommodate for gluten free requests.

We have previously enjoyed a couple of meals here. Food has always been excellent but atmosphere and service lacking. Took neighbour out for dinner with her friend. What a change! Food still excellent but the atmosphere has changed. Staff much more attentive (now appear to be Thai rather than English). We had a bottle of Rosé (£20), 2 starters and four main courses (all sharing). Meal came to £80, bargain for 4 persons with wine. Then came the “icing in the cake”, complementary dessert. Enjoyed it so much, we are going back tonight as a treat to ourselves

The food is very good and the prices are very reasonable. The staff are efficient, professional and welcoming. I will certainly revisit this restaurant. Light and airy with plenty of space.

Excellent food, very friendly, nice atmosphere and couldn't do enough for us. Would highly recommend visiting this noodle bar

We drive to Herne bay just to go and eat here.

love the food fresh and delicious

Went here with my husband. Food was phenomenal. Freshly cooked and utterly delicious. Will definitely return and we highly recommend

The restuarant was surprisingly empty for Friday night. The food came very quickly, cooked fresh, we were all finished in 30 mintues thinking I'd be there for an hour. The only issue is the dessert menu has only three menu items and would be helpful if the menu told me the vegetarian options.

Every meal we have had here has been enjoyable. Delicious food, delightful, efficient staff. Ordered a takeaway tonight for the first time, which arrived piping hot and was of the same high standard. Yes, the restaurant lacks a bit of atmosphere but this is more than compensated for by the food and service.

Take away. On two occasions we have had a take out from Coconut Tree, I cannot praise them enough tge food is tasty and they cater for Coeliac disease. Gluten free. We will be using these more often, very tasty.

Another wonderful family celebration. I am a fuss pot with food and this place never disappoints..excellent excellent excellent x

Excellent food good size portions .clean. reasonably priced Attentive staff easily accessible for wheelchair users just needed some background music would definitely go again

We visited here last week whilst on holiday. Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Malaysian food, which was just the best! We had sweet and sour chicken and Roast Duck Ho Fun. Good value for money - cooked to order, piping hot, plentiful and full of flavour. Friendly and efficient service. If we were in Herne Bay longer, we would have gone back again!

Whilst visiting family in the area we ordered a takeaway from this restaurant, selected based on other Trip Advisor reviews. We weren't disappointed - from the lovely lady who took our order on the phone, the home delivery (hot food and in the time advised), the quality and taste of the food was very good. We had crispy duck with pancakes, sweet and sour chicken, chilli prawns and a vegetarian stir-fry.

A superb little place in Herne Bay. If someone prefers to eat delicious Asian foods for reasonable prices, Coconut Tree is a perfect choice. We had crispy aromatic ducks, noodles with mixed seafoods, and Thai green chicken curry. Everything was tasty, and we had good portions. We are going to visit again

My first visit here. Perhaps not the most inspiring interior but friendly service and delicious food. (I had the Pad Thai). Would go again.

We were in Herne Bay for the weekend, and was recommended to go here as we love Thai food. From the outside it doesn’t look much, however, as they say never judge a book by it’s cover. Had a very delicious tasty meal. Chicken satay was exceptionally good as soooo much sauce - yum. Then enjoyed a Green Thai curry which was very fragrant. Would certainly recommend and visit again.

Wow! What an amazing little place! The ribs were just gorgeous! Coupled with a gorgeous and hot day, this little jewel nestled in Herne bay high street right in front of the beach felt like being on holiday in my own town. Can’t wait to go there again!

I had pad Thai which was lovely, staff polite and friendly, the premises was clean , can not wait to return.

Lots of appetising dishes, served with pretty variable quality. My dish tasted like a fairly average chow mein (not what I expected from the description, but it didn't taste bad either). The sweet and sour chicken in my partner's dish tasted great, but the stir-fry veg was pretty much raw and the rice was strongly peppery. The aromatic duck was delicious, but could benefit from more pancakes, sauce, cucumber and spring onions. The beer drinkers in the group were pretty disappointed that the beers were served warm, especially as some of the options need to be served very cold. Overall a pretty mixed bag. Given how good some of the local takeaway options are, I'd probably go there instead. I also witnessed some of the worst service I've seen at a restaurant. Everyone we spoke to was very young (not a problem in itself) and didn't really know anything about the dishes or drink options, so I wondered if the normal managers were all ill or on holiday. Unfortunately, I can only review the people who were on shift, who were generally slow, unprofessional, lazy. They didn't say anything rude, but there was a lot of eye-rolling and audible sighing for pretty standard requests (e.g. some water alongside our drinks and enough cutlery for everyone).

Nice restaurant and good service. The Thai green curry was very tasty (slightly different form traditional version, more creamy) and comes with rice so good value. Complimentary Thai crackers and the complimentary dessert was a nice touch. Will definitely visit again. A lively lunch.

I've been to this restaurant twice, in the evening and for lunch. Both times I've enjoyed lovely fresh food, great service and a nice atmosphere. Plus at lunchtime they offered a complimentary dessert! I would definitely recommend if you are a fan of Asian food, and I will be returning again 😊

Just arrived back from a lovely lunch at this restaurant. The decor is modern and clean and the service was friendly and efficient. We had chicken Gyoza to start with and Singapore noodles for main course, all of which was delicious!! We will definitely be back again soon.

This is an honest and fair review - Me and my partner came here on Saturday evening. This was our first time coming here, having lived in herne bay for 20+ years in quite surprised I haven't been before. But I must say, we was both left feeling disappointed. The food was good and so was the service , but the whole restaurant seriously lacks finesse. Where we was sat all you could see was the buildings from outside , which aren't the nicest looking buildings. So that instantly reminds you that you’re in the middle of town that is very run down. There was music on, but was so quiet and was like spa music (where’s the theme in this place?) my gin and my partners beer both came in a tumbler glass, our meals was brought to us one by one just in hand (no tray? Or serving table) … you see where I’m going with this? Point is, it felt like we was sat in a cafe eating a dinner. I can’t understand what the theme of this place is? There is no theme. Such small adjustments to this place would change the game! • Proper glasses for the right drinks • Thai , Chinese style music • take the frosted glass on the window all the way up so you feel your somewhere else and not looking at those buildings • plants , Chinese / Thai ornaments - something to resemble the theme • candles on tables , meals brought with finesse etc etc etc. Other than this; everyone was really polite and friendly and food was good. But because of the reasons I have said I wouldn’t spend money on this place again. UNLESS it was to make adjustments. I really hope this review helps the business and takes this on board.

Lovely family business, long established. Freshly cooked authentic Asian food. The Cumin lamb is one of the best I have tried.

Coconut tree is hands down the best restaurant in the bay!...I have been going there since it opened and now I have moved 5 miles away I still go there regularly but more often get takeaway .There was a tiny issue last takeaway where half of a meal was forgotten but when I phoned the manager Victor the following day he was fabulous and organised a free dish for our next order with no quibbles..the staff are friendly and helpful and the food is the best in the area ...I don't understand why it is not busier which would help the vibe on quiter days...only complaint is the price of delivery for me which seems excessive at £5.….however this is a place that needs to be supported as there is nothing as good in a 15 mile radius.

So disappointing! Pad Thai was gloopy and claggy with no 'freshness', no veg just fat noodles which stuck together and left a very salty (soy) type taste in the mouth. Pretty unpleasant. The sort of food you regret eating - especially when it was so expensive £11.95 for a pad thai. Which I would happily pay if it was a good one with some fresh veg and a bit of flavour/chilli! The chicken satay was nice but only 3 skewers for £6.95 is pretty steep. Feel cheated to be honest, didn't live up to expectations.

From the crispy duck to the sweet and sour chick or won ton noodles even the the pad thai all were excellent

Lovely food. Lovely staff. Only let down by one incredibly scruffy male waiter who looked like he just got out of bed!

One of our party ordered crispy duck. When it was served the duck was dry and hard to swallow. We told the waitress who apologised and said she would bring a fresh one. However the rest of us had finished our meals and the new duck dish had not materialised, so we cancelled the duck as our friend did not want to be eating alone as we had finished our meals.The waiting staff were lovely, but the manager had no intentions of making any sort of good will gesture to compensate for the inconvenience of one of us having not eaten due to the initial serving being inedible and the replacement not arriving within an acceptable time. Would not recommend.

I had pancake duck the duck was not crispy it was burnt. My partner had noodles only had 3 prawns the desert we thought was the complementary desert like they have always done in there which was a small slice of banana with toffee on them with a very small scoop of ice cream. Always been a complementary desert but they do not tell you it now costs you over 5 pounds each. Since having the meal we have been unwell with upset tummy.

Big thank you for delivering a fantastic meal last night the food was absolutely lovely. 5 star recommendation 😋👌

Lovely dinner experience, staff all friendly and go above and beyond to make your visit as comfortable as possible absolutely 10/10 food and well priced, will be back! :)

Best place to eat in herne bay and the complimentary dessert is fab!

I so enjoyed my meal. Delicious. They were kind, attentive and friendly. The restaurant was clean and had a friendly buzz about it. As a solo traveller. I felt very at home.

Had a lovely meal with friends ,staff are really friendly,will b back soon .

Such a friendly restaurant. The staff are fantastic, and the food is terrific to match. The spicy squid is so delicious, and everything else we have tried so far is great too. Prices are very good value and many dishes include a generous portion of rice, so you will not go away hungry. Can't recommend this place enough.

Delicious freshly made food and excellent service.

Nice variety on menu. In general very good, however my granddaughters beef noodle dish tasted burnt and the price was taken off the bill. Very good service and would recommend.

Stumbled across it by accident as we were walking round in the evening and nearly walked past it. This place does itself a disservice by calling itself a noodle bar as the food is lovely as are the surroundings. We were expecting an informal service and dining experience but got one of the nicest Chinese meals we've had in a good while. There is a good choice of both rice and noodle dishes on the menu and the staff were really accommodating (I didn't want rice noodles, but egg noodles with my option and they happily changed it for me). The food is Chinese/Thai/Japanese options and really delicious- definitely one to try!

Not overall impressed with my meal which was udon noodles with seafood. The seafood consisted of 1 prawn, seafood sticks and chewy squid, noodles were very greasy and just didnt taste right. The waitress was very friendly and polite and the restaurant was very clean and smart looking.

Very expensive for drinks and food lots of rice not much else .used to go a lot was good .But no one eating when we went there last Weds lunch and i think i know why now.Be my last visit.

We happened across this noodle bar whilst looking for somewhere to have lunch with our visiting mum. She'd come on a coach trip from Surrey for the day. We loved it, the restaurant is small but friendly, very nicely decorated and light. The food was...

We had the dumplings to start and the lamb and pork all was of great quality and delicious.

Great quality, service and vfm. Recommended.

Bought drinks. Starter's and mains..... the table next to us was 4 people who individually had less than we did..... we both finished the same time upon the Asian guy very polite nice guy asked the table anyone for complementary desert toffee apple bananas or...

My husband and I visited with our 3 adult children and their partners. Everyone was very happy with their food. Some ordered starters - we shared the duck, it was excellent. The service was quite slow but we had all ordered different dishes which were...

Went for lunch in this very clean restaurant. Delicious food, served by a very polite waiter. Recommand this lovely place, go and try.

Our last day in Herne bay and received a late recommendation from a friend of a friend about the Coconut Tree. If only we had known about this place earlier in the week! The food is delicious and the service diligent. The flavours were truly...

Good service. Enjoy the Udon Noodle Soup. Have had a few dinners in the past, all enjoyable. Recommended

Excellent food, good value and wonderful service.

The stars are for the service which was good. Also really lovely looking resturant and was excited after an excellent starter. Mains were average at best. Minimal choice for vegetarians. Lots of exciting things on the menu but not for veggies. Disappointing.

Authentic food. Very tasty. Good service.

Me and my friend had a daily trip to herne bay and first time we been here all ı can say 10/10 we will be back. Barbara

Booked online and turned up. We arrived early which wasn't a problem. Easy to find with parking super close. Never been before and staff were friendly and helpful. The food was so so good! It came out in good time, huge portions! Myself and my...

The place was very cold all evening

I hear Asian food, and I'll be there secepat mungkin. Lived in SE Asia for almost 30 years, predominantly Indonesia, and wrote about food extensively. Sad truth is there is so little genuine Asian food around that often we have to settle for poor imitation, especially the cuisine of Southeast Asia in all its diversity (Malaysian is not Indonesian, Thai is not Vietnamese, Singapore is not ... well, you get the picture). It seems like "pan Asian" in the UK often means I have a pan, I visited Asia, I'm going to have a go at cooking it. Great expectations for here because of the inclusion of SE Asian dishes on the menu. How was it in my buku? OK - I think in those moments of giddy elation just to have something that resembled Asian food I pronounced it "delicious" to the server - but the fried rice was pretty standard, serious lack of spice combinations and needed a dollop of kicap manis (kecap in Indonesian) that sets the nasgors of Malaysia and Indonesia apart from the blander "oriental" fried rices of other parts. Chuck in a few crackers why don't you - no nasi goreng server anywhere in Malaysia or Indonesia serves a fried rice without crackers to scoop it up with. I asked for extra chillies, which I got, but try laying out a few genuine sambals to boot. The fried tofu was, alas, like so much tofu in these parts like fried cardboard compared to the scrumptious crispy on the outside, moist on the inside tofu goreng of SE Asia street vendors (try serving it with kecap manis and onions,now that's something). Did see that there was Ikan Bakar (grilled fish) on the day menu but no great fish eater. Service officious - hey, I was a single diner who ordered two mains (one to take home) plus a side, how about tossing me a free dessert to be nice - and pleasant enough, that's all. When it comes to the potential offerings from SE Asia, there's a whole smorgasbord out there: gado2, tempe - now that could be a hit if done right - rendang ayam or sapi and, for that tofu, try doing a tahu telur with a kecap manis sauce, now we're cooking. I left a healthy tip, thought i would be back but, on reflection, nope, not worth it when it really doesn't cut the martabak for me (talking of martabak, that would get people talking!!).

The best Chinese meal I've had in a long time. Superb

The food was absoutely delicious and so much of it. The service was brilliant very quick, polite and attentive. I will defientely visting again and bringing my friends.

Considering restaurant closed on Monday when i booked using their web-site, response within a couple of hours. Excellent. Arrived on the (Wednesday) evening at 18:00 to an empty restaurant. Trepidation. Would think the restaurant has recently been redecorated, very clean but overly simple. Many, many...

Fantastic food, never had a bad meal here.

Lovely place, food was delicious and the staff were really friendly, attentive and welcoming, and even got a free sticky toffee apple! Will definitely be back!

I’ve eaten here 3-4 times on recent visits to Herne Bay. It’s always a real treat and not too expensive. The service is always attentive without being intrusive and the food is great. I’m vegetarian and was glad to be told that I could request...

My son requested that we visit, so I made a call to book a table last minute. The man I spoke to on the phone was very accommodating and said he could fit us in that evening. It was just me and my two children...

Lovely food and good service. Ambiance could be a little better but overall it was a lovely meal and very reasonable. I would visit again .

Had a lovely meal here with friends. Good food in a friendly atmosphere

Lovely food, slightly dearer than your average take away, but the quality is fantastic

The Coconut Tree is a mix of Malaysian, Thai, Chinese and Japanese food serving mainly rice or noodle dishes. A great selection to choose from. The food was served hot and presented well. The staff were friendly and professional, prices are reasonable too. Herne Bay...

Really good food, really good value.

Lovely food, freshly cooked, good prices. If you like oriental noodles definitely worth it

Have eaten in and had takeaways so many times that I have lost count. The kids list this as their first option every time

Food is very nice. Crispy duck is exceptional. Hannah is brilliant front of house.

Popped in on the off chance to grab something to eat with my Daughter. The food was amazing. Defo going back with the family

The food was excellent, you can really taste the smokey flavour of the wok. The service was exemplary, we even received a free desert, will definitely return.

The best food , victor and his staff always make you welcome and will try and accommodate adjustments to dishes on the menu to suit you . We are regular sit in and home delivery customers, and over the few years we have used The Coconut Tree we have never been disappointed. Excellent all round.

Absolutely brilliant food - really enjoyed stumbling across this place and having a quick noodle soup at a very fair price too. Would recommend to anyone.

We have always ordered from here through the lockdown and twice they have delivered to another address which is a minute drive from them without any questions except for tonight!!!! Wanted to charge us £1. 50 delivery charge, well coconut tree you just lost 3 very loyal customers!! Thanks for nothing!!..... They have just rung us and apologized and done our order, so thank you, brilliant customer service 👍👍

We ordered for delivery as a late valentine's dinner. My partner loved the Thai green chicken curry and my Pad Thai was amazing. Lots of meat in both dishes, prompt delivery and friendly on the phone. Would definitely order again!

Before the first lockdown the Coconut Tree was one of our favourite places to eat in Herne Bay, and we really missed it during those long weeks. It was great to be able to go back when lockdown ended, albeit under different circumstances, but we...

Good food at a reasonable price. Friendly service. Sensible Covid precautions.

Best Chicken in Black Bean Sauce ever! Very quick friendly service and all our meals were fantastic. Just a shame its not nearer to our home address!

Disgusting i Was treated to a take away by a friend it was the most disgusting food iv ever had and so embarrasing for him paying a rip off price. for so called food. please avoid this cowboy outfit don't waste your money try ming garden in William Street herne bay for the best takeaway in herne bay

Complete rip off for the money.. not value for money. Would not recommend. Better off going to the Chinese for less than half the price

Brilliant. The Team have given the restaurant a comfortable but secure feeling under current conditions. The welcome was warm, service attentive and food excellent. Definitely worth a visit, the squid starter is one of the best (if not the best) I've tried (and I've tried a lot!). They do a good trade in takeaway as well so if you don't feel comfortable sitting in get on the phone for a take away.

Like eating in... But it is infuriating that cannot pay by card over the phone like most establishments.. so have to drive in for takeaway as normally don't carry cash on me.. Please update system will get more business

Been coming here since it opened. A credit to Herne Bay. Fresh and tasty food. Cleaner tasting than any of the Chinese take always. The price is very good. Nothings ever a problem (some members of my family are particular or fussy) the staff have are always happy to accommodate and deal with complaints very well. Thank you for your service over the years. ❤️

Tasty food. Good service. Neither cheap nor expensive but portions generous.
