Food is always beautiful here! Atmosphere was really chilled. Staff friendly and attentive, took a little while to take our order but was busy so a minor issue.
Any delays with food (which weren’t really delays!) were communicated by staff (special shout out to Guri! Couldn’t have been more friendly and attentive if he tried!)
Drinks great, food amazing and beautifully presented. Have been a few times and will definitely go again!

Very average, it feels like it is going downhill. I have eaten here for years and it started off pretty good but my most recent meal in the evening on a Thursday was not good. One staff member appeared to have her children running around the restaurant, there was a near constant queue of delivery riders/drivers in the doorway, which creates a bad atmosphere and means you are competing with them/take away customers for the kitchen's attention, which in turn resulted in slow service... and when the food did materialize, i'm not sure why i did it ( probably because it looked a but like it had been sitting there for a while) , but I touched one of the edamame beans and it was stone cold, not room twmo, but refrigerated cold, and then i touched another and it was the same, cold edamame on my otherwise hot meal.. to the staff's credit, they remedied it instantly and at an individual level they were all nice people, and the food was nice, but I'm gonna thunk twice about ever eating there again, esp when turtle bay a few doors down had been revamped clearly with the aim of creating an environment to beckon people in to stay.

Big thanks to Jay and Liviu. Amazing service from them both, they made us feel welcome from the get go and kept the atmosphere lively and fun. To top it off the food was fantastic! Will definitely be back 💕

I recently dined at Banana Tree in Chelmsford, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy, making it a perfect spot for a casual night out. The food was fantastic, with authentic Southeast Asian flavors that were both rich and fresh. The crispy prawns and spicy noodles were definite highlights, bursting with flavor.
A special mention goes to our wonderful waitresses, Angy and Stef. They were attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great dining experience. They guided us through the menu, recommended dishes based on our preferences, and were quick with refills and checking in at just the right moments. Their warm personalities made the evening feel personal and enjoyable.
Overall, Banana Tree is a gem in Chelmsford. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty and memorable meal with excellent service. Thanks again to Angy and Stef for making our visit extra special.

Had a lovely time having Eid lunch with my daughter. Our server took great care us. I think his name was Guri? :) my daughter had the kids tofu katsu curry and she ate free. Loved my tofu laksa. Thank you, will be back soon!
