This healthy asian flavors food is awesome with limited choices that are packed full of the tasty stuff. The sauces have been predominantly in middle eastern or latin styles, but this place has some different ones like miso soup - it's free!! And if you're looking for something more kid-friendly then there'll be plenty on offer here too; we definitely plan to return again soon

Love Banana Leaves, it’s my go-to for vegan Asian options nearby. They have faux meats and will let you sub them in any dish, the prices are great especially considering I usually get multiple meals out of it, and the woman who is usually at the front desk is always so sweet and friendly.

Some of these other reviews think every business is corporate ran but these mom & pop shops work on a different beat. If you don’t mind the small size but care mostly about the food quality then this is the best...
