The food is phenomenal. The sushi is fresh and masterfully prepared, a true delight for sushi lovers. I especially enjoyed the Spicy Mango Chicken; the sweet and tangy flavors combined with the perfect amount of spice make it a standout dish.
If you’re looking for a place that offers great food, excellent service, and a vibrant yet relaxing atmosphere, Banana Leaves is the spot to visit. Highly recommend for both casual meals and special occasions!
We were driving through and found this place on line. The reviews were great, and rightfully so. We ate at 2:45pm on a Saturday. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. I had the Char Kway Teow with chicken (with no spice). 10/10
I like they brought a little fruit plate with our bill.
Nicely renovated restaurant with comfortable seating in the Best Western. Great service and food, which was totally unexpected for a random hotel restaurant. The food here is a mix of pan Asian cuisine, with Japanese, Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Indian, and other cultures probably that I just can't name off the top of my head represented.
I've been twice and the food was excellent both times. Same waitress who is totally lovely. I highly recommend the roti with curry appetizer and the crazy roll if you like a fried sushi (it's a gut bomb but a delicious one). Their Thai tea is perfect, just the way it should be. It's not a fine dining sort of level of quality, but it's very solid food at a great price. You really get a ton of food on any dish too. I was surprised how many pieces of sushi came with the lunch special.
They're also very kind about allergies and will listen/confirm anything you need changed.
I love Banana Leaves! I've been twice and both times they did not disappoint. It was clean, the cuisine was on point, and the service was impeccable. I ordered a seaweed salad, Tom kha soup, and Pad Thai with Tofu the first time. The second time I ordered Singapore noodles which were superb. They also served complimentary fruit with the meal which was an added bonus. It was beautifully plated and a refreshing treat. I was truly blown away that such an impressive restaurant was located inside of a Best Western Hotel. That is not an insult to Best Western, it was just a pleasant surprise!
The rainbow roll, spider roll, Bali tofu (fried and topped with peanut sauce, sprouts, and sliced cucumber), and the fried shrimp were DELICIOUS! The service is friendly, professional, and efficient. We chose this as a convenient restaurant near the airport, but it’s worth coming back to try even more delicious food. Highly recommend!
Excellent customer service. The food is quality, fresh, tasty, and cooked to perfection.
Prices are low.
The restaurant has a vibe of high-class service.
We travel for business. This is my number one place to eat in and to take out.
I did not see catering on the menu, but I have no doubt they can fulfill big orders.
I ordered my food medium spicy.
Super nice employees.
Very clean location and pleasant environment!
Came in from out of town and decided to try this place out. Honestly, they exceeded my expectations. Very relaxing vibe, great food, large portions, amazing service!
1st time here. Had a Great dinning experience with friendly staff. Loved the Thai tea and Pad Thai.

Absolutely love this place
I ate at Banana Leaves for lunch today and it was delicious! It’s attached to a hotel, but the atmosphere of this restaurant is really nice inside and out.
Great service! Amazing sushi! Yummy spicy fried rice!! Definitely recommend!
We lived 13 years in Asia. This is the best Asian food restaurant we have dined at since our return many years ago. The service is great, the food is authentically superb and the atmosphere is warm and clean. Highly recommend without hesitation.
Amazing food, atmosphere, and service.
All food is excellent
My special is Roti Canai and That curry
Tender is so nice
.taste is very good
We had a wonderful time last night at Banana Leaves restaurant with a group of friends. We really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. My favorites were Curry Laksa, stir fried eggplant with tofu, Mee Goreng with beef, and the Malaysian fried rice. Everything was soo good 😋

I really enjoyed the food. We ordered mango chicken, chicken katsu, the Malaysian style fried rice, and some sushi. Enjoyed it so much I came back the next night to try even more. Delicious!
This place is great. They have a variety of dishes, and all of them are delicious. The Beef Chow Fun, Singapore Noodles and Roti Canai were excellent. This is a great restaurant to try a multitude of great tasting Asian cuisine from multiple countries.
The spicy Thai red snapper was delicious.
👍 good food, good service. Definitely going back.
I've been several times at lunch. Some of the newer menu items are my favorite. The pork with chili peppers and kung pao are delicious. Some of the items I had on the original menu, I liked with varying degrees. The pad thai and pineapple fried rice were fine, but a bit bland. I love the atmosphere. It is relaxing and clean.
Really delicious. I was at the hotel for three days and ate there every day.
The place is very immaculate and has an up scale look. The older gentleman that puts together the sushi is very articulate, and you can tell it's a passion of his.
The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Also, if you're picking up an order, it is quick and when you get home with the food it's still hot and fresh.
First time here, and it was a nice atmosphere. Very clean, love the menus, and the food was amazing. The prices were really great and i love how they give you free fresh fruit at the end of the meal which i wasn't expecting. While it is located on the side of a hotel and opens into the lobby, it's still a very pleasant atmosphere. You should definitely try it.
Tucked inside Best Western Plus off Madison’s Blvd this restaurant is just awesome. Terrific hospitality, delicious food, no loud music and the food offerings include a fusion of Malaysian, Thai and Indonesian delicacies. We enjoyed and will Visit again.
We tried Banana Leaves for the first time- ordered online for pickup. The restaurant itself was older, but looked clean. The service was quick and nice, so no complaints there, but the FOOD. Ugh! We ordered the Tom Kha soup, and the Tom Yum soup. Both were ok, but if you’ve had good Tom Kha, this was watered down and had no tangy, sweet coconut flavor. The Tom Yum, same (watered down), but with added red pepper, so a little spicier.
We got the spicy crunchy shrimp roll, and it was good. The only good thing we had.
We also got the Malaysian chicken satay. The chicken was good, but “bouncy”, you’ll see what I mean about this later. The issue here was with the sauce. The peanuts were very stale. If you have had peanut butter that’s been in the cupboard way too long, you understand what I mean.
For entrees, my husband got the Spicy Mango Chicken, and I got the Baba Malay Curry. They must’ve used a cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce, bc both were not very flavorful at all. And we asked for extra spicy. The Baba Malay Curry looked so creamy in the picture, but the sauce was translucent, and tasted super watered-down. I had to add both table salt and soy sauce to it, for it to not be so bland. The chicken had a spongy, rubbery texture on both entrees that is making me pray that we didn’t get food poisoning. It was such an odd texture. The spicy mango chicken tasted only slightly better, but was also strangely lacking in flavor. The steamed rice was good. The Thai tea was good. The rest sucked, and I’m sad we wasted money on it. I have a newborn, so money is tight, and eating out is a luxury. I’m super bummed about this one.
Great restaurant! Good menu friendly staff. I love having a place like this so close by.
First time trying this place tonight and it was delicious! We got the Pad Thai, Roni Canai, Gyoza, and Thai tea to go. Everything was fresh and tasted great. The service was also excellent when entering the restaurant. Definitely recommend giving this place a try!
Hands down, the best sushi meal we have ever had. Sashimi deluxe- Amazing!! The service was great- the teamwork to make sure we had everything was above and beyond.
Great food. Got it to go because not really feeling like eating at a place attached to a hotel
The food and service were fantastic! The term hidden gem is an understatement. We were skeptical with the location but do not be alarmed. We got the curry laksa, roti canai, and pineapple fried rice. All very good! The laksa has an amazing coconut and lemon grass broth. The roti canai is so light and airy. We will definitely go back.
Thai fried rice is amazingly delicious 😋.
Food and service was Amazing!!! The Atmosphere was so cool!! Definitely a must try 👍
We originally found Banana Leaves through Uber Eats. They offer great savings and free food through this delivery service. We finally visited the restaurant in person, and were a little off-put by the Italian relics from the past, but we were pleased once we entered the dining room. Also note, it is attached to a hotel and accessible through the lobby. Our server was kind, attentive, and evenspoke Chinese with my partner. The food was amazing in person (it is with delivery too). Prices are fair. It is overall a great Japanese restaurant.
I didn’t realize it was attached to a hotel but it was still decent food. Very reasonable prices too. The curry was more of a soup, and there was a little bit of miscommunication with the server that took a long time to even tale our order. But once we got our food, it was all very tasty
One of our favorite restaurants! My husband gets something different just about everytime and everything is always amazing! There's an extensive menu, food is full of flavor; topped with a quiet cozy setting! A must try in the Madison area!
Nice and atmospheric Asian restaurant.
Was staying in the hotel attached in the same building and went for dinner. Solid, delicious food and variety on the menu.
First time my daughter and I, we had the most delicious lunch meal in Asian cuisine in awhile, We ordered the Shrimp and pork pad Thai and it came with rice and we ordered several types of different sushi and enjoyed a cocktail too
Very sweet girl at counter.
I really enjoyed dining at Banana Leaves. My party had Crab rangoon, Pad Thai and a sushi dish. The pad Thai was good and the sushi was good also. We just had basic California rolls for the Maki, but it tasted very fresh. Same fir the nigiri, particularly the salmon. The Wasabi was pretty zingy- most Wasabi I try isn't very strong. The only negatives I would say is thad the salad that came with my meal was very small and that the beer could have been colder. The service was also very good. I look forward to coming back to dine here again.
We were visiting the area and decided to try here for dinner. Sushi and drunken noodles were the best we have ever had!!!!!! So fresh and priced right. So good that we decided not to try somewhere different the next night and came back for dinner again. Will be back when in the area.
Wish we lived closer because we'd definitely go again.
Excellent new place in Madison. I don’t think a lot of people know about this place, but it truly is a hidden gem! Love the Roti Canai and the drunken noodle. The server is very friendly as well. Overall, a great dining experience!
I ordered once before and it was amazing. I was beyond disappointed when I got this order. Supposedly it was going to be a bento box but I got Thai chicken that was run over into the plain ( not jasmine) rice and a soggy gross egg roll. Soup was ver disappointing also. Would have been better to have gotten a plain Chinese takeout today.
Best food around. 5/5
Very quaint, attentive service, and clean environment. We will definitely visit again, great for date night.

Don't let the Best Western scare you away, this place is awesome! I wanted some quick sushi for lunch and they did not disappoint. The restaurant was very nice and clean and the service was great. Prices were reasonable. They even have some Malaysian options and some spicier alternatives that you can't find elsewhere in Huntsville.
We've seen Banana Leaves open up shop for several months now, but we're always skeptical about the location tucked away in the Best Western. I'm super glad we ventured in and explored the menu. The inside was newly renovated and clean, and the staff was super friendly and attentive.
Our family of 4 grabbed an early dinner here grabbing a little bit of everything off the menu. The appetizers came out fresh and hot (dumplings, gyoza and roti canai). Kids scarfed down the roti rather quickly but the small silver I had was tasty (flaky bread with a slight sweetness to it) esp with the curry dipping sauce. This will be a staple moving forward.
The soups were on point and not overly salty like some places (miso and tom yum). The tom yum had a nice spice/heat to it, which i enjoy) but the wife prefers creamier tom yums.
We ended up trying the sushi (few standard sashimis and a spider roll). My daughter professes that this was her favorite spider roll ever. It was standard sushi. Nothing Wow (the spider roll was good), but also nothing bad. If i was jonesing for sushi and here, i'd get it again. But some of the Tuna/yellowtaill seemed fishy.
We also got the chicken katsu, some malaysian noodles and the eggplant/tofu. They were all tasty and phenomenal. The highlights for us were the eggplant/tofu and my son's katsu.
so glad we've got another asian option on this side of madison. Don't be scared of the best western, Banana Leaves was a welcomed pleasant surprise for us and will be repeat customers. 5 stars overall for service, environment and food. The food itself is probably around. 4 star place for huntsville.
The rainbow roll, spider roll, Bali tofu (fried and topped with peanut sauce, sprouts, and sliced cucumber), and the fried shrimp were DELICIOUS! The service is friendly, professional, and efficient. We chose this as a convenient restaurant near the airport, but it’s worth coming back to try even more delicious food. Highly recommend!
Delicious food and great service! My meal was made for my dietary restrictions.
Excellent sushi and customer service! We are borderline sushi snobs :). Generous cuts of flavorful fish on each nigiri/roll. Even the California rolls taste amazing. Looks like they take pride in their work. Our new go to for sushi. Will be back to try the other cuisines.
My friend Marina brought me here. As we drive, she said "didn't let the Best Western sign scare you. It is some of the best Asian/Thai food. She was spot on! Very flavorful food came out quickly along with thoughtful and friendly service.
Great place, excellent food and service. definitely recommend!

Ok people, listen up!!! If you want sushi that is amazing here is your place. For appetizers we had the Crab Rangoon, Roti Canai and Shrimp Wonton. The Roti Canai had great flavor but the curry was very liquidity. Wish is was thicker for better dipping with the Roti. The Roti itself was the closest to West Indian Buss up Roti with out going to a Caribbean spot. We had the California Roll with fresh Crabmeat and much to our surprise is was STUFFED with REAL crabmeat, not imitation anything for only $7.50! I could not believe it. We also had the Soft Shell Crab Roll and the Shrimp Tempura roll. Both were very delicious. The Lemonade was so good and very refreshing and the Thai Tea was quite distinctive. Sweet and creamy with spices reminiscent of Chai tea. The customer service was AMAZING. The lady who took my to go order was a pure sweetheart. She had a wonderful personality and was very helpful. I will definitely be back sooner then later. Thank you all for such a great dinner experience.
Excellent food and service. Will try the sushi next time. Lots of food! Had to take some home.
Food was perfection! Tried 5 different dishes and they were each ideal representations of the item. Service was impeccable
Excellent food and service!
I travel all over the US for work. This has got to be one of the best restaurants I have eaten at. The prices are insanely cheap for the quality and quantity of food you get. Wish this place was close to my home, I would eat here everyday.
The food was wonderful and fresh.Mango Tango roll was great and the crispy garlic shrimp was perfect.
VERY good. Clean, tasty and attentive service. Believe they are new, so happy to highly recommend!
I visited while during their soft opening. Cannot reccomend their Spider Roll enough, let's get that out of the way first and foremost. My waitress for the evening was sweet, attentive, kind, also a very warm and inviting smile. How could you not want to come back and want to sit down to enjoy an incredible Asian fusion (Thai/Japanese ) meal with such a beautiful atmosphere? Meals are priced fairly $10-$20, Light and refreshing, My appetizer, cucumber salad, had just the right amount acidity, heat, and lightness as an opening course. Paired with my Spider roll, and chicken had thai (very large portion that i definitely had to take with me) , I left full and satisfied.
We were visiting our son and his family and decided to give Banana Leaves a try. The food was great and the service was cheerful and good. We would get take-out from there again in a heartbeat.
The service was amazing. We will definitely be back!
Went during their soft opening and the food was fantastic!
Good food, pineapple fried rice was good…friendly staff! Recommend if in Huntsville!
Excellent food, menu, and service!
Another hidden gem in Huntsville if you want best quality experience of Sushi and try some real authentic Asian food within budget of $4 appetizers to a $12-23 fresh delicious sushi entrè.
Sushi entrè comes in with hot miso soup and vegies.
Most ordes are already good for two- three persons. You should come with empty stomach to enjoy your meal.
Recommended food:
📍all sushi - 5/5 or more comes with house salad and miso soup
📍tom kha soup - 4.5 ( it is SPICY) as the server if don’t want it spicy
📍fried shumai- 5/5 comes in 6 pieces
📍tuna lover ( RAW) 5/5 - so fresh comes with soup and house salad
📍curry laksa 5/5- recommendable for VEGAN people
📍pad thai - 4.5 /5 so authetic ask the server if you don’t want it spicy
This place is awesome, don't let its connection to the Best Western turn you away. Service was incredibly nice, sushi was amazing, and it's no problem to ask for a substitution. I asked for a tuna roll sub on my Sushi Deluxe. Unfortunately this place doesn't seem to have much business, so stop by and check it out!
Banana Leaves on Madison Blvd is a nice little Asian restaurant. Everyone is extremely nice, the atmosphere is quaint and cozy, and they have big portions for little price. It's a little difficult to see as it's connected to the Best Western building on the left hand side, but it is worth checking out! You won't be disappointed.
Fantastic food. Delicious and fresh consistently. Steak Teriyaki, Crab Rangoon, Dragon roll and seaweed salad are all my favorites.
Food was amazing and spicy
drunken noodles and roti canai. Good Luck
I ordered pick up and the food was super delicious! Sushi rolls, Yoki noodles, Mochi was very good. Great service, new store, and make sure to leave a big tip 👍
Soft opening, Food was flavorful, Hot, the Staff were on time, the price was good, I wish them luck!
Its inside the Best Western. We came for lunch. The food and appetizers were really good. The service was good. It wasn't noisy. They had soft paino music playing in the background. It was easy to have a conversation. Would definitely come back.
It’s surprising that the food is quite tasty, especially the lasak is authentic. I have never found any Asian restaurant served Lasak in Madison county. And for this price, the dishes are plentiful and good. We certainly will go frequently in the future!
Check your takeout order carefully if you pay online and pickup at the restaurant. Don't take their word for it and leave expecting your order to be accurate. This place left out an entire roll and couldn't figure out how to refund the cost once we called back.
Update:
All problems were dealt with. Refund was given.
This business wants to have good relations with customers.
Updated first impression of review.
With an Asian husband we are always looking for good Asian food. This was the best Asian food we have eaten since moving to the area. We will definitely be back!!
Our server was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The Basil chicken was delicious with the white rice, and the Thai fried rice was light in oil content compared to most fried rice, which I liked, but flavorful. Also, the shrimp tempura roll was very good but I would ask them to cut them into 5 or 6 pieces instead of 4. Other than that it was a great experience and I'll definitely be going back.
This restaurant is literally a hidden gem. They are located inside Best Western hotel, which can easily be missed driving by. But, the food is amazingly tasty. We ordered the Curry Laksa, Chicken Katsu, and Pad Thai. Friendly service and a nice atmosphere for eating in. Must try it if you haven't yet.
Chicken satay, shumai, gyoza, chicken teriyaki and California roll were very good. Scallion pancakes were greasy and mushy. Karage was soggy, greasy and not seasoned at all. VERY disappointed. Steak teriyaki has too much fat on it- most had to be thrown away. Roti canai was flavorful.
The fusion of Asian cuisine shines here in full color. Top quality ingredients make all the difference. A table full of men who hail from Panang, Malaysia were there and are regular cusomers and my friend, a world traveler said "finally, Tom Kha soup worth writing about". To curry or not to curry....either way, you will find a terrific Asian inspired meal here.
Food was good but the calamari wasn’t my favorite. It was soaked with grease to the point it didn’t have a single crisp. They did have some of the best Yaki Udon I’ve tasted so far. Wish the portions were a little bit larger for the prices.
Great food, very clean, good service, will be back again.
太赞了,好喜欢这家餐厅的菜和寿司,味道相当好而且还很精致👍👍👍👍👍
We enjoyed this new restaurant! Definitely will be back!
DELICIOUS! I saw this new restaurant a couple weeks ago while trying to find something for dinner but they were closed. So, finally made it. And it did not disappoint. I ordered both the roti canai and crab Rangoon since I couldn't decide. Will absolutely order both again. Decided on the sushi deluxe combo that comes with 4 sushi and a California roll. And the Thai chicken basil. Again...everything looked good. The menu isn't very large but there are plenty of options. The sushi was delicious (Wasabi was on pont!). I subbed the onions and bell peppers for cabbage in the thai basil and had combination with chicken, beef. And shrimp. I also let them know that I had a food allergy and the waitress was made sure there wasn't any cross contamination. The staff was very attentive and made sure I was happy with my order. Unfortunately, there were only 3 other patrons while I was there. I gave atmosphere 4 stars, only because the music that was playing was a little loud. The restaurant was very clean. I don't think they have their alcohol license yet, but I think their business will pick up more once it is. I can't say enough for how great my experience has been. Will definitely come back!
I recently dined at Banana Leaves and was pleased with the experience. The laksa was good, and while not the best I've had, it was a rare find in Huntsville. The roti canai was also very tasty and highly recommended.
The staff were kind and welcoming, even offering us a free coconut sago dessert sample. For those in the area looking for hard-to-find Southeast Asian dishes, Banana Leaves is definitely worth a visit.
Ordered takeout. Sushi and Thai. Food was excellent across the board. Service was unbelievable. Super nice people.
Very fresh food, very attentive service, good presentation, very clean, and some bits of uniqueness that gave it an overall very pleasurable experience. We incidentally happened into their soft opening. Glad we did. Menu is great and I think that they have the capability to grow and show us new things. We'll be back.
I had the curry Laksa and it was VERY good. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.
The food was great, We loved the Thai fried rice and the sushi rolls were on point too.
Our waitress was really nice and we had a great experience
The only thing is the location was a little hidden and hard to recognize the sign.
Service was great! Atmosphere was peaceful. Food was authentic and tasty. We ordered the crunchy spicy tuna roll, pad Thai and ice jelly for dessert. We'll be returning. Don't be detoured by its location (attached to a Best Western). Do yourself a favor and go!
The food was delicious and perfectly prepared. They were very generous with the protein! Service as awesome, the vibes were nice, everything was very clean. Will definitely be a regular here.
This new restaurant has beautiful renovations. I ordered calamari w/ spicy mayo sauce which tastes really good. The food is served fast.
Delicious food and very attentive staff. It's a hidden gem!
It was a really pleasant dining experience, the place was clean and the waitress was really sweet.
My order was delivered wrong and when the “correct” order came, it was sliced through bone so I got a nice surprise. And undercooked. Pork undercooked = yuck
Stopped by for a speedy lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Opted for sushi rolls, karage, and Thai tea, and each dish was bursting with freshness and flavor. The staff was fantastic, guiding me through the menu. Excited to explore more of their offerings on my next visit!
Came in for lunch for a quick bite. I got some sushi rolls, karage, and Thai tea. Everything tastes so fresh and flavorful! The staff was also very helpful in the menu selection. I’m glad to see another Asian restaurant in the area. Can’t wait to come back to try more items off their menu!
We discovered this little restaurant tonight. It is located in the Best Western Plus on Madison Blvd. We had the chicken Satay for an appetizer, the chicken Katsu, chicken teriyaki, the Eggplant and Tofu stirfry and a mango and coconut milk dessert. All the food was delicious and the staff were very nice! Their food variety includes food from Indonesia, Japan (including sushi), Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and China. I would recommend you visit if you are Near the Madison area!
Neat atmosphere, very clean, great waitstaff, and delicious food!
I noticed this restaurant tucked away near the Best Western Plus. They have a mixture of cuisine from Southeast Asia with a generous vegetarian and vegan selection (clearly marked). I was greeted pleasantly when I entered and offered a choice of seating (booth or table), and informed that today was the 3rd day that they had been open for. They have some tables outside that are presently not open for service, but plan to be in the future. Menus are already at each table and staff are willing to give you additional as well. Prices are fairly standard when compared to similar restaurants. Portions are good as well.
I sampled several different items here. The Thai tea wasn’t excessively sweet and had a good flavor profile. There was a large amount of ice that I wasn’t fond of. I received 5 crab rangoons, which had a good layer of cream cheese and real crab meat. Most restaurants, if not all, I’ve been to have a sweet cream cheese layer. I liked that it was more savory than sweet, and the real crab meat also stood out. It pairs extremely well with the sauce. The chicken satay is out of this world. It’s good enough to eat by itself, and pairs really well with the peanut sauce. The chicken karaage is juicy and has some crunch as well from the breading. The sauce is also a nice touch.
For the main entree, I ordered a Baba Malay Curry Chicken. It had a good amount of spice for the standard customer, and suggested to staff that they have an option to increase spice level for fellow spice lovers. The curry itself was delectable, the chicken, tofu, and vegetable blend was hearty, and I could eat that all day. There was a significant portion of curry compared to rice. I would have wanted the option for brown rice, if possible. For dessert, I ordered an ice jelly. This was totally new for me. It was a gelatinous dessert garnished with mango, pineapple, and a brown sugar syrup. It was not overtly sweet, and the fruit/syrup went well with the jelly.
I plan to come back here for dinner to try the sushi and some of the other items. It seems like a great date night spot. This restaurant introduces a lot of dishes that the Huntsville/Madison area doesn’t have.
Today, my friends and I had the pleasure of trying the exquisite flavors of Southeast Asia at your restaurant on its opening day. The Drunken Noodle, Baba Malay Curry Chicken, and Thai Fried Rice were exceptional, each bursting with authentic taste and perfectly balanced spices. It's evident that your culinary expertise shines through in every dish. Thank you for such a delightful dining experience, and we can't wait to return to savor more of your delicious creations!
The food is delicious! I'm glad I stumbled across this gem today! 💎
Delicious and such great and friendly people! Definitely recommend!!!
