in the over-hyped food wasteland that is the chain-dominated Wimbledon Village, it's nice to see an…read moreindependent restaurant. Bayee Village has been producing reliable, tasty Chinese food in Wimbledon for decades and there is a sister restaurant in Putney. The decor is great, from the 2 stone lions guarding the entrance to the large fish tank and Chinese lanterns inside. You are also always assured of a warm welcome and better service than in many Chinatown restaurants. The food is a mixture of Peking (north) and Szechuan (southwest) cuisine. The house speciality is seafood and if your budget can stretch, you won't be disappointed with the lobster and spring onion on a bed of crispy noodles, steamed whole sea bass with ginger and spring onion, kung po king prawns with sweet chilli sauce and garlic and soft shell crab with fresh chilli pepper and garlic salt. The other non seafood dishes are also good. A good solid local Chinese restaurant.

Bayee's served me the best Chinese food I have ever had. I'm not a huge fan of Chinese food but…read morethis wasn't the typical greasy food I had come to expect of Chinese food. It was fresh, full of flavours and it even felt as though i was eating healthy food! I had a gorgeous aubergine dish that was gorgeous and their crispy duck was really tasty as well as their cashew nut dishes. We had some really nice wine here as well. The decor is quite strange, with a classic piano and aquarium in the restaurant but i guess it gave us something to look at while we waited...and we were waiting for quite a while...maybe this is a good sign as it made me think everything was being cooked freshly from scratch, otherwise they were just being really slow. The service of the waiters was a little on the slow side but luckily we weren't in a rush. The prices were all pretty reasonable as well. I will return if i'm in the area.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My new go to place to thaw out with a lovely warm bowl of Pho Ga. I wouldn't say that the pho is…read morevery traditional; the chicken (white meat) is tender and the broth light but tasty. I've also sampled the Laksa and Bun Bo Meaty Salad bowl that the missus ordered; and they're both very nice. The Bun Bo (Xao) meaty salad is just that, a load of veggies served with some grilled beef over a bed of rice noodles and a side of sauce (my best guess is a vinegar/fish sauce/lemongrass mix) that you can pour over the salad bowl to taste. Less is more with the sauce if you've not tried fish sauce before as it can be rather punchy. The Laksa is a delicious blend of Chinese/Malay spicy coconut-curry noodles; pone of my faves! Can't wait to head back to pull myself away from the Chicken Pho and try out the other dishes .

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.

(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.
