"So I done the right thing and called the establishment to give my feedback rather than leave a review but I was met with passive aggressiveness and argumentative communication, so here I am.... Order was wrong but it stated on the docket it was correct so there was a miscommunication between me and the person whom took my order. That 's fine as I didn 't really mind as it was just one main dish but what got me was the very poor quality of the food. The chicken on the honey chilli chicken dish was stringy (like really over cooked calamari it was also very greasy as if the frying oil wasn 't hot enough and the sauce was sickly sweet, tasted like a desert and that goes the same for the sweet and sour chicken (I ordered curry but apparently I didn 't.... . Everything was also very under seasoned and bland. The BBQ ribs were actually ok but very little meat. The spring rolls were just your standard bought in spring rolls but they tasted unusually fishy nearly like it was off. The most amazing thing was the overcooked steamed rice?!? Come on guys, over cooked rice from a Chinese restaurant? Was it even washed before hand to remove the starch? Coming from a culture that 's so dedicated and takes pride in creating amazing food this was shocking and I don 't know what these awards are that this place has won? Are they made up? £39.90 for a 'takeaway ' sweet and sour chicken, honey chilli chicken, spring rolls, ribs, steamed rice and chips (sides are also charged separately btw which I don 't mind if the food is worth it . Yes you get a 20% discount on the mains but still expensive. Save your money and go elsewhere, I don 't know where the positive reviews came from. If you want good customer service and food this isn 't the place to be unfortunately."

"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."
