Thought we'd try a new place for sushi for a birthday dinner. Banana Leaf was excellent! They have more unique rolls than other sushi places and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Most definitely will be back!!

My friends and I have been on a quest for best Thai with a great atmosphere--this place ranked high. The green curry was some of the best I've had. Others raved about the pad thai and soups. Definitely worth a stop!

Came here the other day and the food was amazing. They have hands down the best pad thai in town! My friend got the Pad See EW with white rice and the chicken that came with it was amazingly crunchy and saucy. I ordered the drunken noodle and they forgot my beef with it initially until I mentioned it and it got sorted out. Would 10/10 recommend this place.

Loved our dinner. Had three sushi rolls, spider, volcano, and captain crunch, very well done. Also ordered the curry chicken, which was one of the best we have eaten, as well as the orange chicken. Quick service and dun decor. Walked in without reservations for 4. Were told 45 minutes and were seated in 10.

Used to really love this place but I've had a poor experience the past two times I've placed to go orders. The first time I was given chicken instead of tofu for my curry dish. This time we were missing a rice container and the one we did receive was only half full with rice so we had to make rice at home. Very disappointing.

I ordered ginger duck. The meat was beef. No ginger just teriyaki. I vomited the cucumber avocado rice rolls. The garlic pepper fried chicken was disgusting. I can do better in my kitchen. Please just close down your business now and save other people from making the same mistake as I have (visiting your establishment).

The wait staff is friendly and prompt with service. For the food, as i find most asian food, i found the meals very mushy and not very flavorful but I did enjoy the crab rangoons.

We got red curry with chicken and drunken noodles with beef. Both dishes were lacking flavor and the meat in both dishes looked questionable. We will pass on coming back.

Ordered via door dash, although the delivery was quick and my food did come hot I was terribly disappointed with the flavor of my pad see ew - it was very bland. I barely ate my meal and suffered through the equally disappointing egg rolls - the wrapping was great, the temp was excellent but there was barely anything inside of the egg roll - it was mostly rolled up wrapper. I’ve ordered door dash from Cool Basil and their food was much more flavorful.
Really great food and atmosphere. I ended up with the yellow curry with chicken and it was cooked on point where the potatoes were not mushy and the curry was freshly made not from a can.

Banana leaf is consistently great with their food. You always know you'll get a great tasting quality product.

I was impressed with their menu. It was actually a binder, there were so many options. Staff were kind and attentive. The restaurant was clean-lots of wood and plants.Vegetarian options: While there aren't a large amount of vegetarian options, they were willing to make modifications to my meal. My server immediately told me that it was okay and didn't even need to ask in the kitchen.Dietary restrictions: I didn't want any eat meat or fish products in my meal. I tend to eat vegan, but find it difficult when eating out usually. I found that I was able to eat vegan here and they easily accommodated me.Parking: There is street parking, but it's very busy. If you wait for someone to leave then you can find a spot (at least that's what I did).Kid-friendliness: They do have a kid menu. I did bring my kid, but he eats off the normal menu because he eats a lot. (My child is not picky and loves Thai, so I cannot speak for picky eaters.)

My partner and I have gotten sushi from Banana Leaf several times now, and it never disappoints! We usually start with the pork pot stickers and get some sushi rolls to share, and they have all been fresh and delicious.

Food had great flavor. Interior felt comfortable and airy.
