Canteen-style Indochinese venue with an open kitchen and communal tables 

Banana Tree O2 Arena

We went as group of 4 to find delicious food after playing activate at the o2 and looked at banana tree!

The best decision, the menu we didn’t know where to choose from so we ordered some starters to share between us and two mains.

The mocktails were 2-4-1 which was great! They were so flavourful and not just filled with syrup like other restaurants.

The food was amazing! As first timer coming to a banana tree branch this was GOOD! 😍  the dessert recommendation from the lady she had glasses on and I forgot her name think it started with a K or C she recommend us the tart! That was very good!

Overall the service was really good 5/5 and the food was delicious still thinking about it … 10/10

I highly recommend anyone who is in the area to come here!!

We visited on a weekday afternoon for lunch and ordered from the lunch menu, 1 main and 1 soft drink for £10.95. It was very quiet and peaceful, we sat in a lovely booth.
We had the katsu burger and chips, chicken with mango sauce and rice and chicken pad Thai. Then for starters we had Korean bbq chicken and chicken skewers.
The food came promptly, service was good.
The best dishes were the pad Thai, chicken skewers and bbq chicken.
The burger was a bit too saucy.
The crackers didn't seem very fresh.
The chicken with mango sauce was a bit odd, the sauce was runny and lacked flavour and the side veggies were very small. There seemed to be a lot of rice in proportion to this. Personally I would had preferred more veggies.
Toilets are upstairs and they were clean.

A lovely day for lunch with the family. I got the Thai railway rice and it was delicious! The calamari was a bit of a let down. The portions are very reasonable. Food was very good overall. One member of my group felt it was a bit salty. We got quite a few bits - 3 starters, 1 side, 5 main meals, 1 kids main, 4 drinks. It came up to £159 which is reasonable. The lychee juice was lovely too. Staff were friendly. They only have clip on high chairs to the tables but I opted out of that as my child was able to reach the table. We had a nice booth and I would come back again!

Food was great and came quite quick however the service requires some attention. The waiters lack empathy and are not quite careful at remembering to bring the ordered items, we had to keep reminding them and not too busy times. The place looks like it would have quiet and busy times which can change quickly due to the O2 Arena being nearby but that doesn’t mean the staff should treat the customers with negligence. A little attention to details would make me wanna go back to a place like this but not on this occasion.

Little bit disappointed, we arrived to an almost empty restaurant to be told that because of an event, there was a restricted menu, so several people within our party didn’t end up ordering a main because nothing suitable for their dietary requirements.  When the food came it was lukewarm which was surprising as the place was practically empty.  When we advised the staff,  the waitress was lovely and very apologetic, and instantly replaced the meal. However I will say, that the food taste wasn’t that great either, and not what I was expecting, in fact I’ve had better Chicken Katsu Curry at the pub.  The food was very bland, however it was presented nice on the Plate, and the establishment was very clean, not much atmosphere because it was a Wednesday night, and practically empty, and the cocktails were good.  Have to say we sadly left a little disappointed, and I don’t think I will return.

All chicken and beef on our menu is Halal.
