Reviews


Banana Palm is a Vietnamese restaurant located at the old Coogee Fire Station, offering some of the best and most authentic Vietnamese cuisine in Sydney's east. With a lovely staff and attentive service, diners can enjoy beautifully presented dishes with amazing flavors at reasonable prices. The restaurant is BYO for wine, making it a popular choice for groups. While some reviewers noted a decline in food quality over the years and one particularly rude waitress, overall, the restaurant receives high praise for its delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. Recommended for a relaxed dining experience with family and friends, on average, the rating for Banana Palm is 4.1.
