If you are after good chinese food, then don't come here. If you are after a night out with flavours that will blow your mind, fresh well-cooked asian tastes, and chinese food done as you've never tasted before, then sit down & get ready to enjoy. Take away is good but for the full experience you must book a table. You will wish you had ordered more. My advice - be adventurous with your flavours - and if in doubt, ask the wait staff for suggestions.

Approximate cost: $18

Had a great night out here. Downstairs packed out on a Tuesday night by fairly young crowd. Our group with a few in our 40s enjoyed the playlist of Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac all night!
Drinks to kick off with some starters. Beer cocktail of Dos Equus + orange + ginger + chilli sauce + salted rim - um, yum, yum - I'll take 2 please!
Starters were off the Tuesday special menu - meatballs, spicy chicken wings, potata brava, corn chips with homemade guac & fresh salsa!
Mains were taco plates - 3 for $14. We had beef, pulled pork, chicken, fish, - enjoy & repeat. Perfect for sharing & 3 were enough for a main.
But leave room for dessert - churros (piping hot) and a pot of creamy salted caramel - more yum!
Wish I could have stayed for more food, and definitely more drinks but had to be at work by 3am so early night.
I'll be back many times.....
(cost below is per head for 3 courses & drinks in our group of 7)

Busy lunchtime service but not full. Service was pleasant but waiter had to be called over twice. Food & drinks were excellent (pulled pork crispy noodle salad was tangy with lime juice & fish sauce, and plenty of tasty melt in your mouth pork). Ginger Megs drink was tasty but short on... ginger. Coffee (cappuccino) was the letdown - thin coffee taste, minimal froth, more like a flat white with chocolate. I'll be back as great atmosphere, great decor, great food, but I'll probably get my coffee elsewhere.

I have used Banjo's for corporate catering for breakfast meetings for the past 5 years. The quality of the goods is excellent: bacon & egg rolls, ham & cheese croissants, egg benedict rolls or toasties, plus I always add in a few sweet pastries for breakfasts.
For our last event, Banjos have stepped it up a notch and now delivered to our office in Broadmeadow at 6:45am. Fax order the day before, paid by credit card & delivered saving me so much time. Thanks again Banjos for helping our business serve our clients!
