Banana Island is a long-standing restaurant that has been a site of many family celebrations. The service is efficient, but reservations are recommended for parties of four or more, and arriving on time is crucial to avoid long waits, up to an hour, as noted on a busy Mother's Day.
The menu offers a variety of rich dishes, such as pad thai, chicken, and beef rendang, which are all delicious but not calorie-friendly. Some customers may appreciate pickled sides to balance the palate, similar to Korean banchan.
The staff is attentive and prompt in serving dishes, contributing to the restaurant's longevity. However, the decor is aging, and the tiny entrance can get chaotic during peak times, but these issues do not detract significantly from the dining experience.
A satisfied customer recently enjoyed the Red Snapper with sweet and sour sauce, Singapore Beef chai fun, Crispy Fried Squid, Thai Fried Rice, and Sticky Rice with Mango for dessert, praising the excellent service and clean ambiance. Banana Island is recommended for visitors to South San Francisco, and the reviewer intends to return to try more of the menu.
