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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
