The food tasted very good. Food will take time to prepare and cook, so it will not come fast if you’re in hurry. Good place for you to spend time with your family and friends to talk when waiting for the food. I expected to see Vietnamese staff there, but I didn’t see any Vietnamese at the time I came there. However, the decoration is very good, make me remember about Saigon and Vietnam. The music is also good for people to talk together. Will recommend others to come to try.
Love the Banana Palm. Delicious Vietnamese food. I particularly love the entrees including soft shell crab. Come to be relaxed as service isn't the fastest but if you're with friends, just enjoy the atmosphere. The round tables can be really nice for a group of friends. Always a pleasure to visit. Would love you to do lunch but I understand that you need time off too ;)
Food is fabulous.
Recommend pork buns, duck & green tea creme brulee.
Prices will keep you coming back
Great wine selection
What a lovely night we had! The food was so fresh and so full of flavour. On the night we visited we talked to the owner/ head chef and we discovered his restaurant has been here since 2004, so they are obviously doing something right and it shows; from the food to the classy decor, to the staff in the traditional attire. Which dish was my favourite? Hard to choose one but I loved the Barramundi, the Duck Salad, and the beef and lemongrass with noodles. I will defintely be back to have their Pho, can't wait!
My husband and I have enjoyed the food at this wonderful restaurant twice. Our first visit was due to its proximity to the hotel where we were staying. What a delightful surprise. The food radiated flavour and freshness. Our second visit was based on our desire to taste those wonderful flavours again. We actually booked an overnight stay at the same hotel so that we could enjoy a meal and not worry about driving back home to Emu Plains. We will be returning for a third meal with our son and his family. They are travelling up from Melbourne and as we have raved about the food so much they want to try it for themselves. We wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant.
Delicious food and wonderful service. They unfortunately didn't have high chairs though so we had to take turns holding our baby.
