Walked over from my hotel last night and got a to-go order of shrimp drunken noodles and spring rolls. It was FABULOUS!!! Also liked the inside decor and will definitely eat again when back in town.

Update: Unfortunately, our most recent visit was a complete disappointment. The service was extremely rude, and it genuinely felt like the staff didn’t care about customers at all. It’s really upsetting to see a place we once enjoyed go from being welcoming and accommodating to treating customers so poorly. Too bad this place has gone from good to bad.

This visit was disappointing overall. The food was ok, but the service significantly impacted the experience in a negative way.
We arrived at the restaurant about 50 minutes before closing, yet the waiter behaved as if we were inconveniencing her. While taking our order, she spoke in a rude and dismissive tone, and made us feel rushed, as though she wanted us out as quickly as possible. That kind of behavior is unacceptable, especially when customers arrive well within operating hours.
In addition, the service itself was poor. We had to do repeated follow-ups, which caused unnecessary delays.
Later, she came to our table and told us we were 20 minutes past closing, even though the delay was entirely due to her slow and inefficient service.
Overall, there was a clear lack of attention, courtesy, and professionalism.
To the owner: staff attitude and service quality define the customer experience. If this continues, it will push customers away rather than build loyalty. With better training and accountability, this restaurant could do much better.
I hope this feedback is taken constructively.

Had an AWESOME quick lunch at Banana Leaf Asian Bistro in West Glen. Food arrived fast and fresh, and very tasty. I wish it had been spicier, we ordered some spice, but a little side of Thai chili added did the trick.
Beef Drunken Noodle: perfectly cooked, not soggy at all. Beef was very VERY tender, which I don’t find as often in Thai restaurants. Flavor was spot on, serving plentiful.
Pork Fried Rice: again, super flavorful, and pork was tender.
Shrimp Thai Noodle Soup: with rice noodles and shrimp was awesome. Great flavors and perfect size for lunch.
We were in and out within 30 minutes. Service was attentive and kind. I tend to forget about this place but need to keep it on my radar!

This is the restaurant closest to our house and it is also my favorite restaurant, because the food here is so delicious. There are many types of noodles,curries, salads and soups available here. My daughter loves red curry here, it is so yummy. You should try curries if you get a chance to come here, because meats are very soft and we love the spices here. Whenever I come here I never forget to order Japanese clear soup and Thai noodle soups are my favorite. The food served to us is kept warm and decorated and, waitresses here welcome the customers with good hospitality. Our family loved rice+coconut pudding here, but recently they stopped this desert, but we dont forget to remember them every time finally the place is very clean and neat. We have the parking lot near the restaurant.

Very disappointing experience. The service was extremely poor, and the staff seemed uninterested in helping or addressing concerns. The food quality did not meet basic expectations. The overall atmosphere was unpleasant, and the experience left us frustrated rather than satisfied. Additionally they asked us not to come after 8:20 even though they close the restaurant at 9:00 PM. Ordered food was on the table but no plates and spoons were given until we ask. This was not the level of service or quality I would expect from a restaurant. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place and do not plan to return.

Poor customer service. When approached about the taste and quality of the food, they were not willing to accommodate. The sushi was dry and lacked flavor.

Very good food and atmosphere. The service wasn’t very fast and it was surprising since there’s wasn’t a lot of people there. If you are looking for spicy food this place is a little light. They only have 3 stars and I got the hottest level and it still wasn’t very hot. The flavor is good but nothing really separates this place from other Thai restaurants. Definitely worth a try if you haven’t gone before.

Used to be better and I had given Banana leaf 5 stars in the past. I can say portions are smaller, food quality/taste has reduced. Maybe it is a new owner, chief, product availability. Prices or ok for some items. I would recommend staying away from that Calamari, portion has shrink and taste is not what it used to be. Overall I rate this restaurant as ok instead of excellent like I had in the past. Presentation is good

More space inside than it looks from the outside. Menu is very extensive with a wide variety. Excellent sushi options. Went with server recommendation for the Basil Fried Rice with Chicken. Delicious. Looks like fair-priced lunch menu specials, so will need to come back. Friendly staff and great service.
