Banana Tree - London

I have visited this restaurant twice. It is situated in the bustling streets of Soho, which is very convenient for those looking for authentic Thai cuisine after a day of shopping on Oxford Street. The appetizers were delicious and for our main courses, we opted for the green chicken curry and green vegetable curry, both of which were absolutely divine. The atmosphere was great and everyone in our group loved the place. We will definitely be returning again.

The banana baum noodles here are absolutely delicious and packed with great flavor. I really loved the noodles here. You can come here with your friends or family.

Banana Baum on Wardour Street in Soho, London is a very good restaurant. The food here is excellent. I went on a date here. Everything was very good.

Tried the chicken dumplings, the seafood and the Thai curry. all die! great ambiente and extremely central regardless of which it was not touristy at all

I’ve had the Tastecard a little while now, but never got around to using it. The restaurants featured on the program are largely chain-based. Or not very good ones. So this is my first experience with that in hand. BananaTree is located in the heart of Soho making it an ideal spot to catch up with a friend from the office. The deal meant buy-one-get-one-free so we had a lot of food for not a lot. A good start. Our order consisted of the chicken wings, money bags along with our mains of the beef rendang curry and the pad thai. The fried wings are very good. Messy, sticky and lots of sauce. They offer a recipe for their tantalising wings on their website. It all looks well and good and I get excited up to a point. Then I realise, and decide it’s too many ingredients and too much work. It is one of the most popular appetisers at Banana Tree, and easy to understand why. The rendang was just above average, the meat tasted a bit dry and there wasn’t enough curry for my liking. The beef is quite chunky, and of good quality so its got that going for it. Banana Tree feels like yet another whitewashed Asian-inspired food restaurant in London. Others that come to mind: East Street and Dim T. Dishes across Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam all meld into one being rather than having each of its own elements celebrated. The first store opened a staggering twenty one years ago and now its eight stores it may have traded that authenticity with domination. The venue at Banana Tree has a nice, vibrant atmosphere and this is only completed by the size of the crowd. It’s plenty busy and a popular haunt for some of the other corporate dwellers from the looks of it. I didn’t find the find innovative but it was tasty.
