Banana Tree - Menu

The food was actually really gross... Everything was so sweet, even the salad! I felt so ill that I couldn't even finish the meal. The only sweet in the restaurant that was nice was the man sitting next to us!

I highly recommend trying the vegan satay sticks at Banana Tree - the peanut sauce is incredible! This restaurant is one of my favorites, as it's always open late and the service is fast. Fun fact: I once received a milk carton as a promotion when I ordered takeout.

Got the Blackened Monk Noodles, the Vegan Laksa soup and the Vegan Satay. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious and these dishes are traditionally not vegan so I appreciated their spin on it. They also have a whole vegan/vegetarian menu so I’m excited to try more!

Fast service and friendly staffs. The portion is good for its price. The Laksa's soup Was really nice but the rice noodles were a bit hard and got only 2 and half tubes of tofus. However, I would highly recommend you to go because of the very friendly service and atmosphere!

Banana Tree is decent Asian food. I've had their Vietnamese bowl of Pho noodles which I found alright. Doesn't have the rich and flavorful broth that a good bowl of Pho has. This time around I ordered the laksa with shrimp, and unfortunately just like the Pho, the soup was lacking that strong flavor that laksa should have. Service is good, although can be slow at times when it's very busy.

I do like Banana Tree for not being expensive and suitable for a casual dinner. It is not your usual Asian/Oriental dishes which makes it different. But i dont think the standard is not as good when i first tried it a few years ago. I usually choose one of the main and get it as a combo. A complete dish enough for one person. If you have room for dessert then the Coconut stuffed green Thai pancake or the black rice pudding takes my favour.

corn fritters were good and thats about it. there is a whole vegan and vegetarian menu and a good range of items! the flavour of certain items were very bad and the veggie bites' largely resembled chicken (which wasn't explained on the menu or what we expected) so we couldn't even eat it. the thai green curry was satisfactory and the rice and cracker were quite nice! unsure if we will be returning.

One of our friends recently shifted to West Hampstead. After helping them out with shifting, we were so tired and a good restaurant is all we needed! Not knowing much, we chose Banana Tree. And wow! this place was perfect! We ordered Crispy Chicken with Mango and Sweet Lime Sauce, the Legendary Rendang, Gaeng Keo Wan Green Curry and the Malaysian Laksha Soup. All of them were simply finger-lickingly tasty. I highly recommend the crispy chicken. It was good change from having the regular food in the nearby restaurants. The service is good. This place is packed during the weekends, so a prior booking is a good option. I would love to come to this place again.

Wow the service was terrible. So the first time they asked what we wanted, i hadn't actually looked at the menu because i was chatting with my friend. Fair enough that's annoying for them. But then they didn't come back to take the order for ages. We ordered tap water to go with our drinks twice and never received it. They brought us a papaya salad that we never ordered and still tried to charge us for it despite us sending it back. They also forgot my friend's noodle dish. Just terrible. For food i had the blackened monks noodles which is basically noodles with fried veg, tofu and egg. It was actually pretty tasty so I'd probably give the food 3 stars for being ok but nothing special.
