Oh my gosh! We were delighted by this hidden gem in Idaho Springs. My wife and I were wishing we could have access to a restaurant like this closer to our home. The food was outstanding, we both felt this was the best Thai/SE Asian food we’ve eaten. We ordered veg spring rolls, Green Curry Chicken and Chicken Laab. The food was fresh and the flavors were just perfect. Thank you! Will definitely make the effort to stop here on our trips to the mountains.

The food was outstanding. We ordered the green coconut curry wings and the Laab. Both totally different but equally delicious. Tasted fresh and healthy but also savory. Highly recommend for dine in or take out to a bar.

We've been wanting to try The Banana Leaf since we heard about it. This was definitely worth stopping in for dinner. My mushroom laab was full of flavor and umami goodness. My husband loved the rich flavors in his Khaub poob. We'll be back!

Outstanding food and service. This place came highly recommended by my famous food editor friend. I was lucky enough to meet the chef and owner and she really helped me when I asked her for recommendations. The red curry soup was amazing and I love to coconut/kaffir lime rice. You can tell how much care and passion goes into everything they make. Can't wait to return.

The food here is sort of a fusion of Vietnamese and Thai. The green curry is amazing, I don’t know of any restaurant in Denver with better. The steak is also excellent. Spring rolls are delicious. Highly recommend.

Best place to eat in Idaho Springs. Healthy, authentic, and also unique using nomadic Asian dishes that take from all across the east. Owner is the nicest woman. Highly recommend

Needed a vegetarian option for our friend and picked this spot! I'm so glad we did! The food was fresh and well cooked. The family running is also very kind and attentive to their patrons.
It was so nice to have such a delicious and healthy meal! We will for sure be back.

Make sure to get the Crab Wontons. I’ve eaten all over the U.S. and these were the Best I’ve ever had. Plus the rest of the food was super tasty and fresh!

The Laab steak was amazing!!! Truly unique flavor that I wasn’t expecting and was very pleasantly surprised.
Everything is fresh and high quality, which I feel like is getting more rare nowadays.
Also seems family owned. Definitely coming back again!
