Great Thai spot in hacienda heights. Good portions and great flavors.

Diner Review №2

I didn't care too much for the food or the staff but the environment was very up beat. They had a live band which was nice and the drinks were pretty good. I'd recommend if you are going with a group of friends!

Diner Review №3

during lunch there’s barely any people and relatively fast service, although they dont have live entertainment at that time. recommend tom kha soup, pad thai, and pad kee mao. beautiful interior, clean restrooms

Diner Review №4

Diner Review №11

Tasty thai food in a very large dining space. The restaurant feels a little dated/old, and has more of a family group vibe.
The green beans dish and seafood fried rice were very good.

Diner Review №12

We ordered $150 worth of delivery and it never showed up. The restaurant nor the service wanted to refund us. Manager was supposed to call us the next morning. They never did.

Diner Review №13

Worst service ever

Diner Review №14

Food is definitely good! Service was okay, it’s hard to get hold of any waitress or waiters. The place is big and so much noise inside the restaurant. Music band on Friday night is way too loud, we could not talk without yelling. Terrible! Parking 🅿️ is always horrible. Too many restaurants in the plaza, therefore parking 🅿️ is always horrible, almost impossible to find parking 🅿️ they need to build a parking structure! Other than food, everything else is terrible.

Diner Review №15

I was disappointed with my recent visit to this restaurant, as it has really gone downhill since my last experience. The service was incredibly slow, with our food taking an hour to arrive. To make matters worse, the dishes came out one at a time with significant delays in between. For instance, we received our pad see ew long before the rice we had planned to eat it with.

One of our orders didn’t arrive at all, and we eventually had to cancel it. While the flavors of the dishes were good, the fact that the food was cold or barely warm made it much less enjoyable. To add to the frustration, the staff was not attentive, and we didn’t get refills for our drinks. This was a disappointing experience overall and fell far short of the quality and service I used to enjoy here.

Came during Halloween and the band plus the dancers at the end was cool as hell. Great atmosphere and staff

Diner Review №28

Delicious. Delightful. Fun. Classic. Rowland Heights landmark. If you don't know about B-Bay it's okay, you're not experienced. Every now and then there's a generational standard that lives on through the ages. Here's a gem.

Drink specials. Live band. Fish tank. Didn't even mention the curry.

Diner Review №29

This place is more expensive than Temple City one and food are the same.

Bad was ok. Food was average. The mango sticky rice was really good. The service was ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!!!
This was my first time here and all my friends amped it up and I was NOT impressed at all!!! We were seated for almost 45 min before I even got a drink. They don't clear tables till the end..all In all not the best impression

Diner Review №37

Went to visit this location and ordered pad thai, spicy fried rice, Tom yum soup, and fried calamari. The pad Thai was white and had no flavour. It was mushy and it was sitting out for a bit before it got to the table. The Tom yum soup with chicken was stale. The chicken tasted old and we couldn’t eat it at all. The spicy fried rice was also bland and didn’t have much flavour. Very disappointed with this experience. The location in temple city is the best one.

Diner Review №39

Food was extremely good, service was good, but unfortunately they served me seafood (crab) that has been dead for a while and they cooked it which left me with a severe allergic reaction that made me left hospitalized, and since I was on vacation it ruined the rest of my stay here, and I am not allergic to seafood at all, I eat seafood at Vegas and everywhere else just fine.

I would come here again but I would not order anything related to seafood here.

I came to eat here with my boy friend and was met with hostility and poor customer service. Got here around 7:50 pm and gave them my name and phone number and received a beeper from them. An hour went by and we started getting confused because initally we were told it would be a 40 minute wait. when we asked the cashier about it, she said that our name and phone number were never in the system and didn't apologize for that. she also accused us of grabbing the beeper without her knowing of it. she wanted us to wait more time and then about 75 minutes went by so I called a manager for help just to be accused of being a liar. the manager didn't believe us when we said we have been there for over an hour. I politely requested her to check the cameras and she said no. I feel so defeated. for context, my bf and I are Hispanic and we are the minorities in this restaurant. I am hoping this isn't a racial issue but I cannot think of another explanation since we were respectful and patient.

Diner Review №43

Noodles were old and cold the waitress did joy being me my drink!

Diner Review №44

I almost never leave reviews but the service here was absolutely horrible. Please spend your hard earned money somewhere else. We came here to celebrate a birthday and left feeling very disappointed with our experience. The chicken in the dishes we ordered was suspect. Avoid the chicken curry at all costs. The pad see ew was mid and overpriced. It took 40min+ and several requests to finally receive our drink order, napkins, basic service, etc. We had to get up from our seats countless times it felt like self-service. When we talked to the manger we were met with excuses and a lukewarm apology for the inconvenience. Banana bay is banana no more.

Diner Review №45

make sure you eat before you go there, I know .. you know why? The waiting time will make you hungry again. I called for takeout, and truly, I waited for another hour on top of 30 minutes, they told us. Ridiculous.
I give 1 start because they don't feel bad about it

Diner Review №46

Our waitress recommended the chicken satey for the appetizer, it w as excellent. We also got the pad Thai noodle dish with the crying tiger ribeye steak meat cout into slices. All our dishes were very flavorful.

Horrible service go here if you want to get ignored.

Diner Review №51

Horrible experience. Party of 7 came to celebrate a family birthday. Dad couldn’t eat his steak because it was overcooked and they didn’t bring him a knife. The servers would walk by, look at him as he waved his hand and ignore him. We had to get up several times to ask and get what we needed like drinks, knife to cut steaks, to-go boxes, our check.

Also before dad got his food a server came to ask us to pay the check. This place has downgraded from the great experiences we had in the past. We won’t be coming back. Bye, Felicia!

Diner Review №52

A very nice Asian restaurant. You will never disappointed.

Diner Review №53

My Boyfriend and i decided to eat here because of the reviews, first off we waited a while for our drinks which was just water. And when it came to order we waited 40 mins for our food, my food came first and was given to another table. When we kindly brought it to the attention of the waitress she gave attitude. My boyfriends food came almost an hour later and it was half cold. The pad see ew was not only half cold it was oily and had no flavor, and the beef was rubbery. First and last time we come here would not recommend.

Diner Review №54

Yum! Awesome prices and great lunch selections

Diner Review №55

The food was tasty and ok. The beef was a little tough and did not seem like it was of the highest quality. Some dishes were hit and miss in regard to true Thai flavors. The atmosphere was better.

Diner Review №56

Been going here for decades now, and I'm glad to see their dishes have not changed in quality or flavor. The chicken cashew nut has that sweet and spicy delicious flavor. Crispy fried calamari as the appetizer. All their dishes are well balanced, and the menu is robust in its selections. Definitely something for everyone, vegetarians, seafood, spice lovers.. visit if you can highly recommend.

Diner Review №57

I tried this place out after seeing so many good reviews and ordered the Pad See Ew. Honestly it was lacking flavor and really oily, almost no chicken and not very good overall. Wouldn’t come back

Diner Review №58

Wow I forgot how good banana bay was till 2day!!! Everything was soo perfect

Diner Review №59

Loved it

Diner Review №60

Diner Review №61

I love the vibes! Also really quick service💕

Diner Review №62

Honestly food did not taste good. The chicken curry is pretty gross and not curry at all. Service wasn’t good either even tho it wasn’t packed.

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

The dishes could use more flavor, they rather taste kinda bland. However, the bonus points were they don’t use imitation meat on their seafood options which was great, not so many thai restaurants do this.

Diner Review №65

Food quality has improved recently. Lunch special is very reasonable price

20多年前住在附近就常常來BananaBay。這次我們家族26人來用餐,每個人點的餐點都不一樣,炒飯類和河粉類的都很讚,每一種口味都很道地,湯也非常的美味。唯獨海南雞飯的雞肉有點味道。

Check your Togo orders, place messes up a lot and forgets items.

Diner Review №71

Banana Bay Restaurant is fire! They serve the most authentic Thai food. Their Pad Thai has all of the Thai components - sweet, sour, savory, and spicy. Yummy!

A MUST stop by when you are in the mood for high-end Thai food.

Diner Review №73

What happened to this place? Been a minute since weve been here. We started eating here about 10+ yrs ago. We ordered the crying pig and it was barely warm. Garlic rice; jeezeheres that kick it used to have? The conti chkn was dry, and the rice was a salt bomb. Did i mention how every dish is plus 16 bux? Sad to say..but thanx for the memories.

Have been coming here over the past 30 years . Authentic Thai food with great taste.

Diner Review №77

If the food is bad, it's the chef's level. If the food is cold, it's their attitude in serving customers. They are insulting the intelligence of the customers.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Banana Bay Thai Restaurant, and I must say it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Located in a convenient and lively part of town, this restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its delightful culinary offerings.

As soon as we entered, we were greeted with friendly smiles and promptly seated. The decor is charming, with traditional Thai elements blending seamlessly with a modern, cozy vibe. The ambiance was perfect for both casual dining and special occasions.

The menu at Banana Bay Thai Restaurant is extensive, offering a wide variety of authentic Thai dishes. We started with the Tom Yum Soup, which was bursting with flavor—spicy, tangy, and filled with fresh ingredients. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, and the broth had just the right balance of spices.

For our main courses, we opted for the Pad Thai and Green Curry with Chicken. The Pad Thai was superb, featuring tender noodles, a generous portion of shrimp, and a delightful blend of sweet, salty, and tangy flavors. The Green Curry was equally impressive, with a rich and creamy sauce, tender chicken, and perfectly cooked vegetables. The level of spice was just right, providing a satisfying kick without overpowering the other flavors.

We also tried the Mango Sticky Rice for dessert, which was a perfect end to our meal. The mango was ripe and sweet, and the sticky rice had a wonderful texture and flavor, enhanced by a drizzle of coconut milk.

The service throughout our meal was impeccable. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and eager to ensure we had a pleasant dining experience. Our drinks were refilled promptly, and the food arrived hot and beautifully presented.

Overall, Banana Bay Thai Restaurant exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was delicious and authentic, the ambiance was inviting, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an outstanding Thai dining experience. Whether you're a Thai cuisine enthusiast or new to it, Banana Bay Thai Restaurant is sure to leave you satisfied and eager to return.

Pre-Ordered Togo at 8 am. Said it would be ready at 11. Showed up at 11:17 and it still wasn't ready until close to 12. Paid extra for shrimp on pad thai and it didn't even come with shrimp. Pretty annoyed! I drove out 30 mins to pick up my Togo and 30 mins back just to find this out. Always check your Togo food!! Can't trust them to get your order correct.

Diner Review №83

Went on Saturday around 5:30, no wait time for a party of 7.
SERVICE: NOT GOOD. the biggest downside of the experience. We arrived having made a reservation that was not found. That wasn't a problem since there was no wait time. There was many open tables large enough to sit our party but we were seated at a table that was barley being cleaned. We asked for another table, but our waiter refused. When we sat down the table was still wet since they rushed the cleaning and I asked them to dry it. Our waiter had trouble keeping track of our drink order, so they did repeat it back to us 3 times to confirm (that's understandable). However, after immediately providing our drinks they asked if we were ready to order our entree. To which we responded "no" since we barely started looking at the menu. They then rushed ("Please hurry") us because they were expecting more large parties very soon and didn't want to deal with orders at the same time. I asked for two more minutes and we started skimming through the menu to try and quickly order. Our orders were delivered at different times by different servers (there seemed to be a lot on duty). No napkins were placed on the table and we never saw our waiter again until it was time to pay. We asked different servers for basic table utensils, but they never brought them to the table. Halfway through our meal, I approached the bar/waiting station two separate times to take napkins, water, plates (extra), and forks (extra) back to my table. No questions were asked by the staff as to why I was doing this myself. Because our party was large, they automatically charged a 15% tip which we paid, but did not believe was fair. On our way out we did speak to the manager who responded with "is it this waiter?" They have had this issues with this specific waiter before.
FOOD: Satisfactory but tarnished by the service. We ordered 7 different entries and 2 appetizers. We shared the food and passed the plates around. They were big servings. They do allow you to take an outside cake if you're celebrating.
ATMOSPHERE: It was good walking in. Dim lighting, fish tanks, and sand art on the walls with TV for sport channels. But the details like ripped/peeling leather seats and dirty restroom sink in quickly.

As always, horrible service and the waiting bad,but they are racist, when they are the same race, immediately get good service and immediately they get their food. We keep hoping for a change

Diner Review №95

Only been there on sundays and rarely busy. Im sure perspectives are different when its crowded, but ive always had quick service, food comes out fast, wait staff is nice and as attentive as they can be (limited wait staff sometimes). Very big hall so when there's few people (sundays)... it bever feels crowded. Great atmosphere for a sit down dinner for a family of 12. Love going there with my family, my parents, sisters family. Etc. Oh yeah... and have never tasted anything i didnt like. If you like a certain thai dish, you will like the way they prepare it.

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Manager is amazing. Super sweat.

Diner Review №107

The food here is absolutely delicious; I highly recommend trying it! However, one issue I encountered was the difficulty in finding our server once we were seated. I had to get up a few times to track someone down for drink refills or to place an order. Despite this, I still recommend trying their food; just be prepared for potentially longer wait times for service.

Diner Review №108

Diner Review №109

They have the room to accommodate large groups. We also show up with at least 20 persons and never have a problem getting seated. The menu is extensive. Something for everybody. They have a nice bar with killer happy hours.

Diner Review №110

Diner Review №111

Thank you LUIS, for forgetting to give me any sauce at all. Or a soup.

Diner Review №112

I've been coming here for a year. Food is good enough for the price you pay (though they did raise everything by a few bucks). They put MSG in all their dishes, so remember to tell the waiter to NOT put any of that poison on your plate.

Good flavor and seasoning. Space is huge. Was not very busy when we went on weekday night. Food is fairly spicy, good if you have the tolerance for it. Price is decent given how large the portions are.

Diner Review №119

My favorite is the sticky rice with mango. It's seasonal but when they do have it it is awesome. I also recommend the shrimp pad Thai for those people who are not really into that kind of cuisine but like it enough to go out to eat. Chicken satay is wonderful I love the peanut sauce and the cucumber vinegar that it comes with. And we usually finish it off with Thai iced tea

Always nice staff, very busy, worth the wait. They have live band music at night on the weekend. The fish tanks are great to look at. They change decorations even on top of the roof: Halloween, Christmas and Chinese New Year.
The restrooms could use a remodel, but they're always clean.

Diner Review №132

Food was good, certain seasoning was not suitable with my taste. But presentation, and freshness was on point. The service was amazing, and servers are constantly working hard to make sure all customers needs are met, very nice! The atmosphere is thru the roof. Live singing and playing band, everyone enjoyed it. Extremely wholesome and enjoyable environment. People loved it!!

Diner Review №133

Food test is good, service is very bad, I was here today Sunday, 12/17/23 I thing the waiters are not trained, they have no order to serve, they serve you the food and they serve you the dishes later, many people serve you, and in the end something was misdoing, this is the second time I let the supervisor know, but they don’t care about

Diner Review №134

We been comming for the past 10 years right when we ordered the waiter rejected to add bamboo shoot we found that weird even the other waitress came and said just give it to them and he still doesn't want to he said it will loose flavor I'm like don't worry we ae going to eat it we are paying money and not enjoying our food we just walked out, it's very disappointing

Diner Review №139

I have visited Banana Bay since 1999, nowadays food and service are not the same anymore.
Very disappointed 😞

Diner Review №140

Everything is water down and don't taste like Thai food anymore even Thai ice tea.

Diner Review №141

Came for the mango sticky rice but they didn’t have it!!! Found out it was seasonal :0(

They decorated so beautifully for Christmas! They have several Christmas trees outside, the effort was definitely noticed and appreciated!!

They have very unique fish in their fish tanks and they are pretty entertaining to look at. There is one koi fish that looks HUGE!!!

It smelled entirely of bleach when we walked inside and it was freezing with the AC on high (it’s a cold day too, this is December)!! We tried looking for a seat with no AC vent but there is none.

I liked the sand wall decoration they have up. It’s very unique and beautiful.

My friend and I had their pad thai and pad see ew with chicken. Both were delicious and big portions! It came out fast too so we didn’t have to wait long.
The Pad See Ew had a lot of veggies and they were cut up into perfect bite size.
The Pad Thai had a more mushy texture but it still tasted really good.

I used their restroom and it was pretty gnarly. There was a water leak and some black stuff on the ground (don’t know if I want to know what that is but I hope they clean better. I considered taking a star off because it was that gross and seemed unsanitary).

Diner Review №159

Finally came here for the Halloween season and it did not disappoint. I wasn't able to check it out last year but I remembered that they had a performance going on so I was eager to see it. It was like dinner and show, it was so awesome to see the employees put on a great show, Michael Jackson's thriller dance and they did it from start to finish from the little skit they do in the beginning to the infamous Thriller routine. This was so much fun and there was even a large party of just guys who hyped it up even more and made it more exciting to be there. This was definitely a fun night and this is only going on Thurs-Sundays after 9pm for the show. They still have the regular awesome live music that I always love to see and listen to. But you have to check this out for the holidays.
Of course the food is always amazing and comes out fast. Family style is the way to go so you can try everything. And the drinks are amazing and pretty, I love Sex on the pool Table.

Diner Review №169

Horrible experience overall with service mainly at the bar, Saturday night 09/23 standing at the bar 10 min. waiting on a tall gel hair-styled bartender to finish what his doing to help me and another person waiting behind me to get drinks. He finished his order than start cleaning, washing cups doing things without even noticing us waiting. We had to flag him hello we’re here been waiting to order drinks! They don’t serve drinks to your table if you’re dining in. I don’t know why but you gotta to go get them from the bar every time.
3 bartenders behind the counter their work efficiency is horrible, they talk and joke about previous customers they served and not moving to help people waiting. Attitude is horrible, won’t go back there because of the bar experience, jungle, definitely no customer service at all.

Diner Review №170

Parking - very bad. Very small. It can be crowded very easily.

Restaurant - very clean. If you go at the right time it wouldn’t be too busy.

Server - I feel really bad. Very under staffed. One server to 10 tables. Always had to flag them down for refills, ordering food, ordering more food, utensils, and plates.

Food - was delicious. Can never go wrong with curry and noodles. Dessert is always a plus!!

Band - they were Soo good. Sang to all of the songs.

Overall, everything is great and always looking forward to coming back.

First time here on a Friday. The restaurant is packed! The food is tasty but made me super thirsty. The price is reasonable/inexpensive. Great for family, kids, crowds and people enjoy sport bar like atmosphere. They have live music so free entertainment. The servers are super busy that we needed to flag them down for utensils, water refills, missing order, and check. Overall not too bad.

Diner Review №176

When you're eating at a restaurant it shouldn't smell like you're eating in the restroom. The whole place smelled like dirty mop water and fabuloso. Food came cold and when we asked for a replacement they just microwaved it. Lots has changed there.

How this place has gone downhill in the past years. My fried hainem chicken is always cold. Dunno know why since its fried. Seems like they are under staff. Waitresses running around cause people are complaining. Only thing good is the lunch special pricing but not worth doing sit down tho. Not coming back for a while.

Banana bay lo mejor en comida buen servicio. Buena musica Para bailar. Buen personal, recomendado al 100.para disfrutar y pasarla bien.

Diner Review №180

I used to like eating here. The crispy chicken rice was dried. The Mango sticky rice was good but not sure why the coconut was salty.

Diner Review №181

I’ve been going here for years and it’s one of my top 3 Thai restaurants of all time.

I started off with Thai ice tea, chicken pad Thai and it was phenomenal! I also ordered their crispy hainam chicken which I used to order. I also got the fried squid, & Tom yum soup with chicken(solid flavor overall.)

I highly recommend this spot for all your Thai food needs!

+they offer items that is supposed to be cheaper if you ask for a big bowl portion vs individual small bowl.
+check and recheck your bill for hidden fees and tips. They never mentioned the gratuity for a group serving of 5.
+I felt this restaurant is favoring a scam compared to a good service.
+atmosphere=very loud!

Their pad thai is my favorite! They also had good deals at happy hour on their drinks. Came here for a birthday, they had a live band performing, it was nice

The waitress didn't care, we asked for something they said yes but never came back. Not even came back for extra water. Terrible service. To add salt to the wound, the live music was painfully too loud. Instead of entertaining it did the opposite. Some tables around ours were complaining that the music was too loud !!

The live music is too loud !!! Not a family restaurant. You have to yell everytime you want to talk. Not enjoyable at all !!

One of the best Thai places in the area. Moo Yang is an absolute must, along with the Pad Kee Mao. Happy hour/drink specials here are fun too - who wants to do a flaming lambo w me??

I had a rather disappointing experience at this restaurant. The service was extremely slow, taking an hour just to place an order due to the lack of staff. To make matters worse, when the food finally arrived, there was no cutlery provided, making it quite challenging to enjoy the meal. While the food itself was decent, the overall experience was marred by the poor service and lack of attention to detail.

Diner Review №198

Food was very decent, but service is no good. Food came to our table but we had no cutlery to eat, until 30 minutes later when everything was cold. What a terrible experience would not recommend if you’re going to dine-in. What a shame

Ordered takeout, waited 40 minutes with 5 tables inside, didn't get utensils or even napkins in the bag

Diner Review №200

The food was good but not great. I think it tastes like any basic Thai restaurant and nothing special about it. Once we got our food we did not see a waiter or waitress again. No one ever came back to ask if we needed anything they were just doing their own thing. And it was super slow so idk what they were doing. This place used to be the place to go for Thai food but now it's definitely a one time thing. Never coming back.
