We are in town for RetroWorld expo at the Hartford convention center in Hartford Connecticut.

We have been on a kick for the Asian food in the area and this one did not disappoint.

We all ordered something different from the fried rice to the sweet and sour chicken or the pho.

Everything was looks good and delicious. Pictures were just right with a good mix of protein.

We ended up getting after dinner drinks which would have been the Thai tea and the Thai coffee but I didn’t take any pictures cuz we drank them too fast.

The melon boba tea was pretty good as well.

We ended up closing down the shop and meth when we got the ticket we couldn’t believe how cheap it was.

If you want to have some good Asian food, definitely stop at this location.

The food was wonderful and the inside was clean and welcoming. The staff were also very kind. I would definitely come again if in the area.

I should have known from the filthy men’s room that this place was not going to be great. We had a six person table, reservations at 6:00pm. We ordered the Pho Brisket, Chicken egg rolls, curry puffs, Pad See Ew, Panang Chicken, and Yellow Curry.

The fried chicken rolls were pretty decent. But the rest was very problematic. There were a ton of raisins in the curry puffs. The number 2 spice level and the number 3 spice level might as well have been both level 5. One of the servers tried to make the number 2 spicey dish more mild for my MIL, but it didn’t really work. The chicken in the Panang chicken was tough and the giant zucchini pieces in the dish were not very palatable.
The Pad See Ew came out cold but it tasted good at least.

The Banana Leaf offers lots of Pho options so I was very exited to try it. But what a disappointment! The brisket pieces were half fat, half meat. I had to remove the fat with my fingers and try to chew through the very tough brisket in the soup. The broth was not like traditional pho broth. It did not taste right. Worst of all it came out lukewarm.

The staff was not present, nobody came to check on us or clear dirty plates. At the very end our water was refilled. Just everything was off. We asked for a pot of jasmine tea, we were brought mugs of some orange looking “tea”. I asked for extra jalapenos for the pho, never came. Then when I asked again they brought me an extra plate of basil, bean sprouts and a few extra jalapenos. Even the mango and sticky rice was bad.

Looking at the reviews for this place, you would think it would be wonderful. And the pictures look great. We drove an hour to get there and we were all very disappointed. We will not be returning.

Came here for lunch at the recommendation of a friend. We came at an off time and were the only customers at the restaurant. I ordered pork ramen noodles, the food was decent, served hot. The pork was very fatty with not much meat on it. I confirmed it was not pork belly. My mother ordered pad thai. It had a very fishy taste and smell to it making it unappealing to eat. We brought it to the waitresses attention and she said that there was no fish sauce used in it despite us both tasting a very apparent fishy taste. She had the kitchen remake it, gluten free style, which meant no sauces used. It was better the second time around. And “as a courtesy” did not charge us for the second dish – as it should’ve been. The waitresses had a change of shift during our time dining. The second waitress was talking on the phone loudly and not paying any attention to us. We had to get up and get her attention to give us the check after waiting several minutes to hopefully get her attention. And we even brought the payment and check back to her to cash out. The entire time she continued to talk on the phone to whoever she was speaking to. I understand we were the only customers dining at that time but as someone who has worked in a restaurant before it was very unprofessional, rude, and annoying to be dining listening to someone else’s full blown phone conversation.

This place has to be the best Thai place I’ve had in Connecticut. The Pad Krapow was amazing and the Pad Thai had the perfect taste. The portions were very generous and the owner was very nice. I would also recommend the mango sticky rice for dessert and the Thai iced coffee something on the sweeter side.

One tip I’ll have to say is when I’ve seen reviews from the masses like bland food without flavors. As ranch, gravy, and smokiness is the extent to their pallet of exotic flavors.

Asian people need Asian reviews because our taste buds are just way for interesting and complex than most of the world.

Definitely a gem coming from an Asian person. I loved how they had the option of Loa or Thai style papaya salad. Also the 5/5 spice level had a very good Asian hot kick. I enjoy Asian food that caters to Asian people and am thankful there are still places like this. Also a dish I would recommend is the peking duck. This one was just made very different as the duck seemed to be deep fried crispy and OMG it was delicious with their season sauce drizzled on top.

I ordered for delivery, and asked that the fried rice not have onion, not only were there onions galore, but they garnished it with lots of scallions. I couldn’t eat it! All they had to do was call me like other restaurants do to let me know they couldn’t accommodate my request.

There were pieces of chicken in the main dish that seemed off and one piece tasted rancid. I spit it out and threw the rest away! I am afraid I might get sick…
The rice in the Thai Fried Rice was roughly textured and tasted more like Minute Rice than any other rice I have ever ordered from any other Asian restaurant, and it was so bland, no flavor, and the Asian veggies were broccoli, carrots and mushrooms… not impressed
Just awful…
We are so disappointed
we wanted it to be delicious but it wasn’t. Sorry

I was greeted by James within seconds of walking in the door. He was friendly and helpful when I was trying to decide what to order.

The food was delicious. I started with the fresh roll that is served with a peanut dipping sauce. Veggies were crunchy and the sauce was thick and clung to my roll.

For my main I had the Pad Thai with chicken (spice level 3). I’m over-using this word, but, delicious . The chicken was tender and the spice was perfect for me. (A little zing but you can still taste the food). The noodles twisted right onto my fork and no oily flavor that you get with some pad thais.

I will be back on our next trip to Rocky Hill CT to try something else.

Thank you James and the Banana Leaf for a wonderful lunch. (And supper as I have leftovers )

First they tried to serve us with dirty dishes that had crumbs and hair all over it, then the server didn’t bring my taro I ordered until he overheard us complaining that we didn’t receive it after being partially done with the meal already, very expensive we got pho ramen and taro tea and the bill was just above 40$, at funju in Wallingford the same meal is better and more extras for about 28-35$ while ordering more things. Probably won’t return again, dirty dishes the biggest turn off. Spicy miso(was not spicy) had mostly just broth and sprouts btw, funju adds seaweed bamboo ground pork and tastes much better. Taro tea was watery as well. Also VERY DIRTY chairs had dried gross food all over them, and kinda wish I didn’t spend my money here and feel like it was a waste would like refund lol
