Decided on here at the last minute and they were able to fit us in. Nice looking restaurant…read more Service was great and most of it was done by the owner who was able to make good recommendations both for the food and port (the Malbec we had was very good but we selected that ourselves). We had Assorted Crispy Yum to start with (prawn, crab, salmon, duck and corn fritters). Those choices were really good, especially the crab and the duck. For the mains, I had the beef Phuket which was amazing - tender short rib of beef with a delicious sauce. My partner had the red curry but wasn't too impressed with it. He had the duo of banana for dessert which he highly rated but I couldn't eat anymore food. The owner recommended a port which my partner had and said was one of the best ports that he had tasted. Overall, a great experience and will definitely be heading back there again.

Came here for a group after work event on a Wednesday evening in summer. The food is not terrible,…read morebut it does not really serve traditional Thai food, as it has dim sum on the menu. Waitstaff were a bit busy, but friendly and efficient. Prices are a little bit more expensive than other standard places in Putney.

The food is pretty authentic and decent quality. And the kids menu is good value for money. The pad…read moreThai is perfectly made - not something that happens often. I think this is a chain with 4 locations. Normally, chains have good customer service. But the service here is abrupt and puts you on edge, and this place doesn't like kids and we were the only family with kids so maybe they don't expect kids.

Great Asian fusion restaurant if you're after something healthy and filling!…read more One of my favourite dishes here is the Bananatree laksa, a warming bowl of creamy coco-nutty broth with the option of adding chicken, prawns or coriander meatballs (vegetarian option). I also really like the bun bo chicken salad bowl which is crunchy, healthy and full of flavour. They have a nice variety of fresh juices too. The first time I met a friend here for dinner and it was super busy- we had to queue for about 15 minutes. Once we were seated the food came out quickly. I've also been for lunch a couple of times which was less busy and better value for money, although the service was slower due to an influx of lunchtime deliveroo orders. Overall this place is a really great option if you're after a heathy and filling meal priced at around £10 per person.

I went to the Banana Tree a month ago for a Christmas meal with my friends at my youth club, but I…read morenever heard of it beforehand. It was nice, but I think (when I went there) it was a bit crowded and loud, and the price didn't sit well with me. If I had to pick my favourite part of the meal, it would be the egg-fried rice. So was it nice? Yes. Would I go there again? Well, it wouldn't be my first thought. Go only if you're prepared to pay the piper.

Had lunch from Wagamama at least twice this week. Both meals were absolutely delicious!…read more I tried the Yasai Pad Thai (tofu) and the Firecracker Prawns (extra spicy, with a side of hot sauce and sticky rice). Really good and fresh. I will definitely go back again!

Another chain restaurant. This time of the noodle persuasion. Wagamama is reasonable and like the…read moreWagamama in any other town you know what you are getting. If you haven't been to one, go. The experience of having your intimate dinner conversation over heard by people sitting on the bench beside you is traditional for noodle bars, but surprisingly caught on with prudish Brits here in London. This place used to be a lovely pub once a upon a time, but this chain store came in and cleaned up. If you have been to another Wagamama, you don't need to visit this one unless you are on a budget in Wimbledon. Try somewhere like San Lorenzo, the hideaway or even Al fornos.

Our family dined at Ginger Kiss while on vacation in the UK (August, 2019). The food was Very…read moreTasty. We started with 2 appetizers: the Salt Pepper Squid and Steamed Chicken and Vegetable Dim Sum. For Mains, I had the Beef Ginger Kiss, my wife had the Pan-Fried Lemon Butter Chicken, and my kids had the Steak Lao, Big Ba-Mee Soba w/Chicken (spicy!), and the Chicken & Cashew Nuts. While the Appetizers were good but unremarkable, the Entrees were VERY GOOD! Everyone raved about how tasty everything was. Only reason they dont get 5 Stars is that the portion size was on the small side. To be fair, prices were extremely reasonable but I would have happily paid 3 or 4 more Pounds for a larger, more filling portion. Anyway, otherwise great. We met the owner, who served us personally. She mentioned that it's a family-run business (her 72 year old mom does all the cooking). And that she caters mostly to locals but welcomes tourists from all over. Great meal in the Lavender Hill area.

Completely fine if you fancy some take-away and didn't want to cook at home but if you wanted a treat, I'd suggest going somewhere else. One plus side is that it's very reasonably priced!

Amazing restaurant, and possibly the best I've ever been to. The food is cheap but well made and…read moreincredibly tasty with a really good kick to it! Couldn't recommend better. I've been here several times for special occasions and the staff make the evening, they are polite, very attentive and really make you feel like the most important people there. If you ever go for your birthday the owner will get out his variety of musical instruments and play for you as well! I would definitely recommend the Thai green curry, possibly the most tasty thing on the menu. The takeaway service is always good as well, and I will continue going there regularly.

I was skeptical going in here but this is some damn good Vietnamese food.

I've just been here for a couple drinks. Frankly, it looks a lot cooler from the outside than it…read moredoes from the inside.... from the outside you think, "yeah, this place looks great... let's definitely go in" and then once inside "wait a second, there's nothing in here" - it's just pretty barren and austere... you kind of feel lured in. If you're just having drinks you have to sit along a long bench just under the window, which is not the most pleasant in the winter because it's rather cold and drafty. Like every en vogue Asian restaurant, there were a myriad of cocktail options and the drinks were reasonably priced and good... my date had a martini, and he was impressed with the way they'd put it together. Yet, besides the well-executed martini, the service was just there - nothing memorable. I'd come back here if I were on King's Road and I needed a drink, but I'd never make a destination of it.

I had bottomless brunch here one Saturday afternoon mid August…read more There's not too much negative to say about it. More neutral than anything. Bottomless brunch comes with Edamame (ok), miso soup (decent), sushi (great but only 3 pieces each) and bottomless dumplings which are decent. Wine was good, service a bit slow and staff less Jan inspiring. Overall not bad but I wanted better for £40!

This is an Asian cafe not a Chinese restaurant. They only offer a few Chinese meals, which we had…read more Chicken cashew, beef with scallions and ginger, sweet and sour pork. (A few Chinese appetisers also which we did not try.) All three dishes were spectacular. Quality ingredients cooked and favoured to perfection. Not overly salty. Not greasy. The sauces were delicious and a nice meat-veg balance. We literally cleaned every portion. Hard to beat outside a true gourmet restaurant (at a much higher price). Portions are decent so it's fair value for the price. The cafe itself has an open kitchen and it's very noisy. Staff are friendly but not all speak English. Probably the best Chinese takeaway I've ever had. And again it's not a typical Chinese restaurant.

Actually really enjoyed this place! Located in Wandsworth south side right beside cine world…read morecinemas. It has a very clean and relaxed aesthetic. Staff are friendly. We ordered 2 seafood pad Thais, one chicken pad Thai and some spring rolls. We actually all really enjoyed it as it was flavourful and they serve great portions too! We all got to take some home with us and have it the next day for lunch lol overall would definitely recommend!

I can't believe I've not reviewed this before, as I'm regular here…read more This is a fairly large restaurant for the area, with a slightly twee waterwheel at the entrance. Don't be put off though, because inside it's a proper old fashioned restaurant with white napkins and tablecloths. They don't do dim sum any more, but have a familiar Chinese menu with Szechuan specialities, including some of the more challenging spicy offal dishes. But there are plenty of familiar favourites for the less adventurous. It's frequented by local Chinese families, which is always a good sign. Staff are friendly and efficient. Expect two courses with coffee and wine to be about £25-30 a head.

My sister and I are regulars at Confucius for dim sum at lunchtime every Sunday after church. It's…read morea pleasant walk from Wimbledon Broadway, located at the very end just before the road curves round to South Wimbledon station. The dim sum menu has only restarted in the last year and a half when they got in a new chef. The service is always prompt and courteous. Kids will be fascinated by the large fish tank and water wheel feature. The preponderence of Chinese clientele tells its own story - we are very fussy when it comes to food. The food is of good quality, quantity and ingredients - large prawns in har gau and cheong fun, crispy pastry for the char siew sow and lovely roasted meats. The food isn't greasy, a common problem for lower quality dim sum places. The pastry skins are all thin for the steamed dishes and crispy for the fried dishes. They lose a star for a slightly small menu with some old favourites missing like siu loong bow and shark fin dumpling. Also, they used to serve suckling pig and it's still on the menu but no longer available. They also do an evening menu but I can't really comment on that. It's a great place for dim sum and what they do have on the menu is first class.
