This is our go to for Thai food! They make it so easy to cater as well with great prices and large portions. Our catering order was a huge hit and everyone was able to have leftovers to take home.

Diner Review №4

Me and my wife order from here pretty often and this place never disappoints. Our most recent visit was no different, just the same old same old 5 ⭐️. Everybody is always friendly but professional, they listen well, and the food is always amazing. I get the beef salad because it’s miles above the same dish from anywhere else. I like spicy and this place knows me well enough to kick it up the extra notch I’m looking for when I ask. Always they hook me up with extra Thai chilis and even send me little surprise sauces without even requesting them. This family owned gem is a local must-try. If you haven’t yet, hopefully tonight’s the night. The owner and her husband Steve are so lovely and their entire staff are super welcoming and will take the time out of their day to make sure you get top notch service. I love this place. They even deliver! Get outta town! Thank you ask for a killer experience every time!

One of the family owned restaurants, food was excellent with great service

Diner Review №6

It was my first time there. I went about 1:45 after the rush. There was a party of 6 loud. On my other side was someone on his cell phone talking at his table. Loud. Things are changing in North Dallas.

This place has great vibes and even better food. The fish and herbs are superb and the fried bananas are a delight. Definitely a must try!

Diner Review №11

I’ve been going to Banana Leaf for over 20 years, and it’s hands down one of the best Thai restaurants around. It’s family-owned, and they truly make you feel like part of their family every time you visit. The service is always warm and welcoming, and the food is consistently outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and authentic.
What really sets them apart is their consistency. Whether you’re dining in or ordering delivery, the quality never changes—every dish is just as good as if you were sitting in the restaurant.
If you’re looking for amazing Thai food with excellent service and a personal touch, Banana Leaf is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №12

my favorite thai place!!
the service is always stellar and the flavor + portions can’t be beat. The drunken noodles and green curry are my favorite dishes.

Diner Review №13

The owners and staffs are beyond amazing. Always welcome us with a smile and best service. This is one of the best Thai food in town as well. If you like spicy, ask for the special hot sauce. Great discount for students and the best prices in town!

Diner Review №14

Great food, great service. We celebrate birthdays there all the time. If you go there ask for Caroline, she is great. They all are awesome.

Diner Review №18

The food is exceptional, the service warm and welcoming. Atmosphere has decorations out for every occasion.
Great, funny, positive owners and employees.
My favorites are sampler platter, mango and orange chicken dishes, and desserts.

Diner Review №19

Never has disappointed….5 stars for everything Banana Leaf. Brought the extended family in, the Tom Kha is authentic,
my well traveled brother remarked it is the best he has ever had. They make their own ice cream, great flavors and so delicious.

Diner Review №20

I have in the past eaten here a lot, including taking my clients, workers, etc. I am updating my review as I realized I had mistakenly given a better rating than this place earned. On 2 occasions, I was served spoiled food. I did talk to the owner, but ultimately I have no desire to get something that tastes rancid again. I talked to the owner., but it was a waste of time. Owner tried to get me back in, but after all this time, I don't wish to try then again. Owner is the sort that wants to argue reviews rather than fixing the issues??

Diner Review №21

This is a great family owned Thai cuisine spot, great food and you immediately feel welcomed as soon as you enter. Mango chicken is great and definitely recommend this spot!

Diner Review №22

Banana leaf is the simply the best! Steve and his team have fantastic food and better service, you wont be disappointed! We love everything but the Pineapple Fried rice is next level!

Diner Review №23

Diner Review №24

We got the food catered from banana leaf a few times for work related events ; Very spontaneous and excellent service and very comfortable to work with , receptive of all adjustments as requested . You can sense the passion for what they do. Always well appreciated by everyone who has sense of flavor.

Diner Review №25

Great food with a lot of flavor! Tastes like authentic thai food. Great portions, great prices and great taste! Definitely a hidden neighborhood gem in north dallas!

Diner Review №26

Diner Review №27

I have been getting the best Thai food this side of heaven from this restaurant for over 10 years. You can't beat their food! Steve Jong is the absolute best and you will feel at home there! Don't walk run to this restaurant! You won't regret it!

Diner Review №28

Beyond amazing, best Thai food in Dallas, and service is top notch, and we always feel at home and safe here!

Diner Review №29

Diner Review №30

Seems a little pricey but the portions are HUGE so it is worth it. I split the orange chicken with tofu substituted with my friend and was full for hours for only about $7 (full entree was $12.99 I believe). My photo of the orange tofu is not accurate to its portion size, the whole dish was about 4x what is pictured. Staff is super kind and the vibe is great. They aren’t very spicy so be sure and get 4-5 spice if you really like spice like me. I got a 3 trying to be safe and it was not spicy, would’ve gone with 5 if I knew. Definitely a hidden gem.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Still the best after all these years!
The owners are onsite, run everything, and interact with every guest to make everything right. And, even better, they get to know you and remember your preferences.

Diner Review №33

These guys crushed the lunch catering again. Really quick turn around this time and everyone loved the food as always.

Diner Review №34

Called last minute for catering in need of feeding 50 people, Steve and his son Kameron had no hesitation and whipped up an increeedible meal that everyone loved and enjoyed. So happy to know there’s a place I can always rely on to make everyone glad I ordered from Banana Leaf Thai!!

Diner Review №35

Diner Review №36

Steve and Kameron are great! I always enjoy service and food! Great atmosphere and welcoming culture!

Diner Review №37

We had just moved to Richardson and wanted to find a Thai restaurant we could frequent and this one was just perfect! Friendly and personable owners and staff who took the time to speak with us and tell us about their history and great food. We had the pad see ew and thai fried rice, and the food did not disappoint. They both tasted fantastic! Very large dinner portions, presented well on the plates. My son, who seems to think he is an expert pad see ew afficionado, says it's the best he has ever tasted. Next we will try their lunch that includes unlimited soup & salad. I highly recommend that anyone who has a love for thai food (they also offer Chinese versions for some of their dishes) try this restaurant. You will be happy you did!

Banana Leaf is our Favorite Thai restaurant. Their fried Bananas dessert, which we always get as an appetizer, is delicious. Every time we go, we see the same serving staff which speaks volumes to how well the restaurant is managed. We have had the opportunity to interact with the owner who is extremely friendly and personable. We are grateful that each time we go we have experienced wonderful service, delicious food and reasonable prices.
If you are in the area, we highly recommend you to stop by, and experience their fantastic menu. Don't forget to order either their fried bananas or their cream chs rolls. You won't regret it!

Best thai food out there!

Diner Review №46

Banana Leaf is a go to for me in the area, they have a wide menu and nothing has disappointed. Plus I always love to support a local family business.

Diner Review №47

Es uno de los mejores restaurantes que he llegado. Me encanta la comida de Banana Leaf

Diner Review №48

Diner Review №49

We love Banana Leaf for many reasons! The food is always fresh and the quality has been consistent for many years. The service is outstanding! An example of the service - just last evening we ordered delivery and the door dash driver left our food at the wrong house. When receiving a text it had been delivered I called the restaurant to let them know. They made another order and delivered it in person within 15 minutes. It is hard to find businesses with this much integrity and loyalty to their customers like they do.

Diner Review №50

Food was good, but they definitely messed up my to go box. I am sure u got food from a different table. I regret paying full price and the tip too. :(

Diner Review №51

I enjoyed the hospitality of Steve. He suggested enhancements to my basil stir fry and it was delicious. Looking forward to returning again soon. #americassupermom

Diner Review №52

Great family owned restaurant with excellent food whether you dine in or choose delivery. Food is consistently delicious!

Diner Review №53

Diner Review №54

My wife told me we should try this place out because she had eaten the food from here at work and said it was great. I was reluctant to try it because I thought it was going to be like every other Thai food place and not like it. We went and my expectations were exceeded! The food was AMAZING! We had the Pepper and garlic stir fry with beef and shrimp, the Thai herb fish (I think it was called) it was striped bass, the fried ice cream, the fried bananas with ice cream and the spring rolls and it was ALL amazing. The owner Steve was out and about visiting with the diners and really was fun to talk to. I highly recommend this restaurant and we will be back often. Oh, the prices in my opinion were shockingly low for the quality of food and amount of food we received, all of that with drinks was $69. I actually asked the waitress “Lexi” if she figured it right. She offered to check, but she thought I was insinuating that it was too much. Anyway, go eat here, even if you think you don’t like Thai food. You will be glad you did!

Diner Review №55

Amazing food and amazing service. Awesome atmosphere!

Diner Review №56

Can't say enough about the customer service! Thanks!

Diner Review №57

Siempre que venimos nos atiendes super bien. Nos encanta la comida

Diner Review №58

I recently ordered lunch from Banana Leaf Thai for a client meeting, and it was a huge hit! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented, which made an excellent impression. Delivery was on time & the staff made the process so easy and seamless. Everyone raved about the fried rice, Thai fried rice & Fish with Thai herbs. I’ll definitely be ordering from here again. Highly recommend for both personal & professional occasions!

Diner Review №59

I'm a pharma rep and I called Steve and Kameron to cater an office of 25. I gave them my budget and a headcount and the delivered a variety of amazing dishes to the office. Everyone was so happy and the lunch was fantastic. They went above and beyond. I highly recommend The Banana Leaf for catering!

Diner Review №60

Here's an updated review:

"I've been a loyal customer of this restaurant for over 20 years, and the quality of their food has remained consistently great! The portions are generous, and the value is unbeatable - you'll never leave hungry.

Their curries, particularly the Penang, are outstanding. I also appreciate the variety of vegetarian options available.

But what really sets this place apart is their excellent event hosting capabilities. You can reserve separate rooms for special occasions, and their catering services are top-notch.

Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for both everyday dining and special events. The combination of great food, excellent service, and versatile event spaces makes it a true gem!"

Diner Review №62

Spent a wonderful afternoon at Banana Leaf Thai Cuisine after the great thaw of 2025! We were able to be seat quickly in a busy dining room. To our surprise, we overhear another couple speaking for driving a long distance to experience a meal. Chicken skewer appetizers were a perfect way to share a starter and included a sweet spicy sauce and peanut sauce. We were excited to have fish with Thai herb entree, which exceeded its reputation! Light and crispy with a delicious sauce! The Cajun fried was a wonderful melting of two worlds with a touch of spice at the level of your choosing. The mango sticky rice topped off the meal as the perfect desert!! We will be back with family and friends to share in the experience!

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

We had the tom yum, som tum, khao soy, and the appetizer sampler, all at 4 level spicy. The meats were all so tender and each dish had great flavor.

The staff is also very welcoming and helpful. Definitely recommend a visit if you want tasty food.

Diner Review №65

I recently had a lunch order delivery to my work place in Plano. And I must say this food never disappoints. I look forward to my next visit in person as the one thing I loved about this place was their impeccable attention to service.

Diner Review №66

Basil beef was our favorite option, followed by the eggplant dish. Complimentary soup and salad was a nice touch. I wish they had a papaya salad, my fav Thai salad!

Diner Review №67

I only ordered dessert this time. I ordered via a food delivery app from my work. I ordered the Mango with sticky rice. It was delivered on time.

The food was delicious. Flavors were all present in the dish. Mango was ripe. Coconut sauce had a great flavor to it. Rice was ... Sticky.

I gave this restaurant 4 stars (their mango sticky rice deserves five stars) because I only ordered dessert. I will order a main dish next time and update my rating based on that dish that I order.

Diner Review №69

Great Food - family owned & operated.

Diner Review №70

I love Banana Leaf!

Diner Review №71

Our family goes here all the time when we’re craving some authentic Thai food. It’s definitely the best in the DFW metroplex and the fact that they’ve been around for almost 40 years is a testament to their quality and service. You feel like you’re part of the family as soon as you sit down. The owner and his family are always walking around asking if you need anything. Their wait staff is also great, especially Ariana. Try this place out if you want great Thai food at reasonable prices. We love this place!

Diner Review №72

Banana Leaf is our family’s favorite Thai restaurant in Dallas. Throughout the years, we have brought numerous friends and family to this restaurant whenever they wanted Thai food, and never have they left disappointed. The owner and his beautiful family serve at the restaurant and personally tend to each customer’s taste and requests. We also had a great server named Ariana who was exceptional. When you’re here, you truly feel like you’re in their house, and the food tastes authentic and home made. We love this place and know you will love it too! If you’re craving for authentic Thai food, great service and ambiance, and reasonable prices and food quantity, then try Banana Leaf out. You won’t be disappointed!

Diner Review №73

This restaurant used to be one of the famous Thai restaurants in the area. But today’s food was a disappointment. Poorly cooked meat and the fried ice cream tasted like chemical.
Surely not going back. As the quality is below subpar now. Disappointed.

Diner Review №74

The BEST 👌 ~ my hubby and I have enjoyed Banana Leaf's extraordinary Thai cuisine for over 20 years! Absolutely the best in Dallas! Food, Service, Atmosphere (including take-out) - Cat & Steve perfected a menu of such authentic deliciousness; surpassing the test of time; even championing thru the pandemic - with consistent flavors, textures, tastes that keep us coming back for more. The BEST! 🏆

Diner Review №75

The restaurant, take out, and catering are all top top top notch. Food never disappoints. Steve and Kameron are two of the nicest people around who go above and beyond to provide warm customer service and exceptional food.

Diner Review №76

Great food and service!

Diner Review №77

Everything so delicious and everyone was great!!!

Diner Review №78

Diner Review №79

The dish was packed with flavor—the vegetables were fresh, the tofu was perfectly cooked with a nice texture, and the sauce had just the right balance of spice and sweetness. The fried rice on the side complemented the meal beautifully, and the presentation was simple yet appealing.

What stood out was how affordable this was on the lunch menu, making it a great value for the quality and quantity. I’ll definitely be coming back for more

Diner Review №80

Went here for dinner, good vibes, good food, would recommend. Definitely coming back for the cream cheese egg rolls.

Diner Review №81

Love this place, my favorite. Arrianna and her sister are awesome. On that note everyone there are awesome. Thanks so much Steve for such a wonderful place to enjoy such great food.

Diner Review №82

Fantastic service and great food made to your liking!! I would recommend Banana Leaf! Thanks

Diner Review №83

My son & I have been enjoying this restaurant for many years. The food has NEVER failed me. The owner John has always been hospitable and personable.
Love Banana Leaf!!!!!

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

I ordered take out (yellow curry) and was initially dissatisfied with the portion of the sticky rice that I received, but then received a quick phone call from the owner (Steve) to explain the misunderstanding. As a fellow business owner, I greatly appreciate that Steve was assertive in his response, in order to make sure sure I was happy.

Diner Review №86

Amazing food, BYOB with no corkage fee

Diner Review №87

Best Thai food in the Dallas area! Best customer service around also! Highly recommend!

Diner Review №88

Steve and Cameron are awesome! They are top pick for our staff when we have catering.

Friendly, flexible and great communication.. And the food is chefs kiss! Delicious

Diner Review №89

I love Banana Leaf. I could eat there every day and never get tired of it. The food is so yummy, and the owners are the nicest people. The cream cheese rolls are my favorite. They’re slightly sweet and citrusy and pair really well with savory food. Please try them!!

Diner Review №90

Great Food, Great Atmosphere, Great Service, Highly Recommend!

Diner Review №91

Four of us dined there this evening and had a wonderful dinner with four different courses, two appetizers, attentive service and more. It is BYOB and we enjoyed our evening thoroughly!

Diner Review №92

By far the best Thai food I have ever had. The resturant is a Plano staple . Been coming here for 20 years. You couldn't ask for better atmosphere, kind staff, the owner checks in on you and remembers you . Excellent and clean food and decent prices, large portions. Come hungry! I came during the Christmas time recently and the whole restaurant was decorated . Warm atmosphere. Couldn't ask for a better place to eat at and experience! Definitely will be back.

Diner Review №93

Was in the area for a soccer tournament and ended up stopping here to eat. This place is amazing! I have not had Thai food this good since our favorite spot in Baton Rouge closed. Owners are awesome people! It is also BYOB so you can bring your own alcohol in!

Diner Review №94

Ordered takeout the other night and was craving shrimp pad thai. It was definitely tasty and had a good abundance of shrimp to my liking - enough to share with my 1 yo son. I don't know if red onions are normally part of the ingredient, but it tasted fine. I initially thought the container was small in portions when it was the perfect amount just REALLY stuffed into the container considering the food actually touching the brim of the bowl and the lid. The dish was also a reasonable price as well as the additional cost for the shrimp, very affordable for what it's worth.

Diner Review №95

The food is excellent, but we need to discuss the service. We ordered takeout and realized one of our dishes was missing when we got home. I called and spoke to someone I think may have been the owner and asked if they could refund the missing dish. Instead, the gentleman apologized and had the team deliver the missing dish before we finished dinner. This level of customer service is above and beyond but shows you what they will do at Banana Leaf to make your experience exceptional. Please visit this neighborhood gem!

Diner Review №96

Good food,great service,happy vibrant place! Loved it! Very amenable to special orders

Diner Review №97

I have been coming here with my family for almost 10 years. Every single time, I am left both amazed and satisfied. If you are in need of a Thai restaurant that serves great Thai food at a respectable price, Banana Leaf is the way to go. The ambiance is welcoming, and the staff are always attentive and quick. Truly a great experience every time I visit or order to-go.

If you love spicy food, I personally recommend the Cajun Fried Rice with Tofu, spice-level 5. The rice and tofu are cooked to perfection, all coated in that Cajun sauce that covers the entire dish. You top that off with an ice-cold Thai Tea, rounding off an excellent meal.

I cannot stress this enough: if you are in the area and looking for a great meal, come to Banana Leaf. You will not leave disappointed!

Diner Review №98

Steve go the extra mile to make happy customers.

Diner Review №99

I ordered for an important account lunch and gave Steve the details and budget. He put together an amazing lunch delivered on time, set it out in the table, and sent the receipt to me. The food was absolutely delicious and the account was very impressed!

Diner Review №100

We love this place!!! We tell all our friends about it!! The food is great and the service is wonderful. One of our favs for sure!!!

Diner Review №101

The food was decent but the pad thai was a little too sweet.

Diner Review №102

11/08: still come by for their lunch specials and still great!

I have been coming here for years for lunch. Still great lunch prices and consistently good food. I don't know many other Thai restaurants that offer both salad and soup with the lunch specials.

Diner Review №103

Awesome place, awesome food and crazy hospitable owner! Highly recommend

Diner Review №104

Nice decor and decent menu. I believe it could be great food, but I'm docking a few stars for service. We had a young server who put my 4 spicy pineapple fried rice in as a 0 spicy, but no one came to check on us or bring chili or ask if we needed anything until we were done. I probably would've been generous with 3 stars on service, but when the proprietor came around after I gave a different server my payment after trying to catch eyes with anyone who could get the bill, he only joked about firing the kid and didn't do anything to try to make it right on my end.

Diner Review №105

The absolute best thai restaurant there is. Been going here for years, both personally and for work. They never disappoint whether it’s a single entree or a catering order for 25 people.

Diner Review №106

Like always, the food is delicious. We just love Banana Leaf. Steve is great too. He always checks after delivery to make sure everything is satisfying. We’ve never had a reason to complain they are the best!!

Diner Review №107

We catered Banana Leaf for our wedding this past weekend and Kameron and Steve made it one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! When we went in for the taste test a few months prior, Kameron was extremely knowledgeable, answering our questions about the food, different dietary restriction options, and assisting us in estimating the approximate amount of dishes we would need for over 150 guests. Afterwards, Kameron was very communicative throughout the process as my wife and I had to make many many adjustments. During the wedding, although we did not see Kameron (as our food coordinator took care of that portion), he delivered the food earlier than expected (as it’s over an hour and a half away) and the food was absolutely amazing despite the dinner being two hours after he delivered the food. I would absolutely recommend Banana Leaf for any catering opportunities as you will not be disappointed in their service.

Diner Review №108

We’ve are truly satisfied customers of Banana Leaf Restaurant for many years. We eat lunch there on Sundays with friends right after church. They also catered a small party (20) for us and delivered on time in Arlington, TX. Each dish is delicious, authentic and tastes like home made using fresh ingredients. Highly recommended! Everyone loved it.

Diner Review №109

When I first walk in, they have setup that is so beautiful 😍! I smiled and said on wow! This restaurant was SPOTLESS, CLEAN everyone was nice and professional. I ordered the fish with THAI Herb & THAI fried rice! Didn't know what to expect. But let me tell you, it was so GOOD! I did a quick stop by and heard about this place from my hometown LP. :) MY FAMILY AND I WILL BE BACK SOON to try the different selection which is so many to choose from!

Diner Review №111

I’ve been a customer of Banana Leaf for nearly 20 years. Never had a bad experience and everyone is amazing!

Diner Review №112

Banana leaf Thai is the place to go! They offer amazing service, food, and catering options- my company orders from them regularly and the employees are always excited to see them back on our monthly menu. I am looking forward to using them as long as they stay open for business! Kameron and Steve are the best in the business.

Diner Review №113

Want to thank Banana Leaf for great customer service and really great food, we had some problems with the doordash delivery and they remade my food and had it delivered to me personally. Many thanks!

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

My husband has been going to Banana Leaf for over 20 years. Last night, Banana Leaf catered my husband’s surprise 50th birthday celebration. The food was delicious and they even delivered to the venue. Steve and Kameron, thanks for your patience and support in getting everything arranged. You were very easy to work with.

Diner Review №116

Diner Review №117

the food wasn't good today...inconsistent

Diner Review №118

Amazing food and restaurant atmosphere. They are also great for catering events! Steve and his son Kameron will make sure you have exactly what you need and the food securely packaged. I ordered for a 50 person party and everyone loved it. I had a few people with dietary restrictions and Steve helped assemble an order to accommodate for all. Communication is fantastic and they can also work with you to provide delivery. Highly recommend for a tasty meal out and events!

Diner Review №119

Superior Thai food in Dallas and reasonably priced. Banana Leaf never misses! AND I love that it’s family owned. Support small business!

Diner Review №120

Great Food! Great People! Would Recomend!

Diner Review №121

Steve Jong is the man! ✊🏻😌
He has the best customer service,
Food and restaurant staff!
The black pepper chicken and beef is my favorite. Along with their eggrolls and spring rolls!
Great Thai food! I highly recommend! ☺️💐

Diner Review №122

Yall came and catered for us, and provided EXCELLENT service with even more AMAZING food! Had a variety of great food options, one of the best thai places i’ve tried! Definitely recommend eating here if you have a thai craving!

Diner Review №123

I had an amazing catering experience with Banana Leaf Thai Cuisine! The owner, Steve, was so welcoming and went out of his way to ensure that our food was delivered hot and fresh. His southern hospitality really added a special touch to the meal.
The food itself was delicious. Whether you’re in the mood for classic dishes like chicken pad Thai or a vegan option like the tofu pad see Iew, you won’t be disappointed. Their menu also offers a variety of options that cater to vegetarians, vegans, and those who are gluten-free, making it a great spot for everyone.
Personally, my favorite dishes are the Cajun fried rice and the beef lo mein noodles – both full of flavor and perfectly cooked. If you’re looking for fantastic Thai cuisine, Banana Leaf Thai Cuisine is the place to go!

Diner Review №124

Diner Review №125

Banana Leaf is the best! I have not met one person who doesn’t enjoy the food! The catering/delivery service is second to none…always on time with hot fresh food! Looking forward to having you cater my next event! Thanks!

Diner Review №126

We have been coming to Banana Leaf for 20 years. The food is consistently excellent; we’ve catered from here for special events and have recommended the restaurant to several friends who also loved it. Steve is a stand out human. His connection with his patrons is next level, and he is the cherry on top of an awesome experience.

Diner Review №127

Banana Leaf has quickly become our go-to spot for Friday dinners. The staff is always welcoming, accommodating, and professional. The food is exceptional – authentic cuisine, prepared and served to perfection. We truly consider it our home away from home for dining. Highly recommended!

Diner Review №128

Too spicy even after asking for no spice. Entree was drowning in sauce.

Diner Review №129

This is by far the best Asian restaurant I've experienced in the DFW. The food is amazing. The service is outstanding. The portions are more than enough. The lunch special is the best value. Kat always takes good care of me. On my last visit Selena didn't miss a beat! The owner Steve is great to talk to. He'll remind you that he's a Louisiana boy! I love this place.

Spicy Basil Fried Rice or Noodles are a hit. And the Orange or Mango Chicken is awesome. The Cajun fried Rice is my wife's favorite.

Thursday is Coconut Soup day!!!! It's a must have for me!!

Diner Review №130

It has been 5 years since I visited here and the food is still fantastic! I had the jungle curry shrimp and my best friend had the fish kapow! Both dishes used very fresh and flavorful seafood with tasty herbs, vegetables and spices. The flavors made my taste buds dance. I flew in from NY just to have an early birthday celebration dinner here with my best friend. The service and hospitality was excellent. The manager and chef even agreed to accommodate us the next day by opening early on a Sunday so I could take fresh food home on the plane. Our server Lexi was bubbly and full of positive energy! This is an excellent restaurant to share a meal with family and friends. I absolutely recommend it. 💯!

Diner Review №131

The Best Asian Food!!! They never disappoint. Customer service is top notch. Our server Lexie was great.

Diner Review №132

Stopped by for the first time tonight. I got the black pepper garlic stir fry with beef. The flavor was great, the portion was generous, and the price was reasonable. The highlight of the visit, however, was the staff. Everyone was so nice and welcoming! The owner or manager (unsure which) recognized that her waitress was busy and stepped in to help take orders. The food came out fresh and hot. Our waitress and the owner/or manager both came by to check on us. You can tell there’s a sense of pride in this small business. Give them a try if you’re in the area!

Diner Review №133

We got food catered to our job… the food is so amazing. Everything was perfect!!

Diner Review №134

Very welcoming atmosphere, very friendly service and most importantly very tasty food! Keep up the good work!

Diner Review №135

Diner Review №136

Banana Leaf is my favorite Thai restaurant in the area! The owners Steve and Cat, and other family members (Kathy, Kitty, Tristan, and Kameron) REALLY make us feel at home with great cuisine , fantastic atmosphere and excellent service (shout out to Arianna). I’d give them more than 5 stars if I could!
Highly recommended! 👍

Diner Review №139

Order for a staff lunch. The delivery was on time. They set up for us and everything was labeled for staff who have dietary restrictions. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Diner Review №140

Great food. Salmon stir fry and yellow curry were great. The substitute fried rice could’ve been better, it just felt like sticky rice with no flavor.

Diner Review №141

Great food, amazing service. Our office has been doing business with Banana Leaf for quite a few years. Never once have they missed on quality or commitment. They are a main-stay in our book!

Diner Review №142

Love this place! I’ve gotten the pad thai with shrimp, green curry with chicken and pad see ew with tofu and all have been wonderful! The portions are very large as well. I made 3 meals out of the green curry!

Diner Review №143

The best Thai food is in the Plano / Frisco area. had an amazing experience with a delivery order, Steve saved the night! Uber driver delivered to the wrong address, and Steve went out of his way to make it right.

Great food and service ! This was a large catering order. Steve is friendly and takes care of you every time.

Diner Review №146

Our company NTAAA has been ordering for years now! They go far and beyond to make sure all of my staff is fed. And they already know what we love most. The service is amazing and the food as well!

Diner Review №147

Out of all of the Thai restaurants we have eaten at, not only in Texas, this is by far the best! The staff are always friendly and accommodating! My wife and I have made this one of our regular spots in the metroplex. Thank you for having us!

Diner Review №148

I’m not kidding when I say this place is a 10/10. A true hidden gem! They’ve been around for 35+ years, and you can tell. The lunchtime crowd had almost every table full. The staff went above and beyond, and were so friendly and accommodating! The owner and his family were walking around and conversing with the tables.

My waitress recommended the shrimp appetizer and the Basil Noodles. I will surely be back! yummm!

Diner Review №149

Best Thai food I've had in a while. I had a basil noodle dish (Thai name forgotten) with tofu that I ordered with medium spice. I saw on the check that it was level 2; I'd order 3 next time for a little more kick. Generous portion and a fair price. I'll gladly return.

If you haven't been to Banana Leaf, you are definitely missing out! The food is delicious, cozy atmosphere, friendly staff and this restaurant is super clean! Nothing but good vibes. The food comes out in a timely manner and is hot. The staff ensures that they check on the customers periodically, seeing if they need anything. I also like the fact that the staff comes around to refill drinks without the customer having to ask. I received nothing short of a smile while dinning in. Clearly, the owners and staff take much pride in what they do. Delivering good service and food is what this business does! I am giving this restaurant ten stars! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Hurry on over now!

Desert: There are plenty of options when it comes to the deserts. We had the opportunity to taste the strawberry homemade ice cream! Oh my goodness, this ice cream puts Blue bell and Braums to shame! You have to come on over and see for yourself.

*I also would like to mention, presentation is everything to me. I should have taken a picture of my food. I will ensure that I do next time. However, my plate had fancy cut cucumbers around my Cajun rice. Topped off with a little garnish of cilantro on top. I was like, okay!.......Love it!!!

Diner Review №152

Food is excellent & Service is even better! Thank you Steve, Kameron and The Banana Leaf Thai team!

Diner Review №153

BEST experience when ordering catering I’ve ever had and I work with a lot of caterers. It is so easy to order from them and I always can trust that they will take care of everything! They are efficient, always there when you need them, thorough in everything they do and the food is delicious!!!! ALWAYS a hit. Highly recommend!!

Diner Review №154

We had Banana Leaf Thai Cuisine cater for our party at home. We had a diverse group of people attending our event, including teens, young children and parents, as well as several vegetarians and individuals with nut allergies, and different spice tolerances. Kameron took the time to work with us on a menu that would cater to all tastes and dietary preferences and restrictions, and invited us to the restaurant to sample the items. Steve, who founded the restaurant, met us at the restaurant and despite having a large party they were hosting there, talked to us about the menu and recommendations, given their experience catering to many parties, big and small, over the years. The father and son team was a pleasure to work with! The food tasted great, was generous in portions, and arrived at our home exactly when promised, steaming hot and delicious! Our guests were raving about the food and asking where we catered from. We will not hesitate to order from Banana Leaf for future parties, and we now have a new go to Thai restaurant for our family. Highly recommend this restaurant for the food and the personal touch!

Diner Review №155

Huge Fan of this place when it comes to Thai food in the metroplex! I used them for catering often, and they have never disappointed. Very reliable and very good!

Diner Review №157

I recently dined at this lovely Thai restaurant and had an exceptional experience. I was seeking a place that could accommodate substitutions for non-dairy products, and I was delighted by the service. Aldana, my server, was gracious and incredibly helpful. She made sure my meal was prepared with a low spice level, just as I requested, and substituted coconut milk for the traditional dairy in my Thai tea. The attention to detail and genuine care for my dietary needs made my visit truly enjoyable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great Thai food with excellent service!

Diner Review №158

I recently dined at Banana Leaf Thai Cuisine, hoping for an authentic and flavorful Thai cuisine experience. Unfortunately, the food fell short of my expectations.

The dishes lacked the vibrant flavors and freshness one typically associates with Thai cuisine. The Pad Thai was overly sweet, lacking the balance of tangy tamarind and savory fish sauce. The Green Curry, while rich in color, was missing the depth of flavor that makes this dish so special. The vegetables seemed undercooked, and the overall presentation was uninspired.

However, despite the culinary disappointments, the service at Banana Leaf Thai Cuisine was exceptional. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely eager to ensure a pleasant dining experience.

In conclusion, while the food at Banana Leaf Thai Cuisine did not meet my expectations, the outstanding service provided a silver lining to the experience. I hope the kitchen can elevate their dishes to match the high standards set by their front-of-house staff.

Diner Review №159

It's always a great experience every time I eat at Banana Leaf, both for lunch and dinner. The food is consistently delicious and the service is always great! The friendly owners always come out to greet everyone to ensure everyone is happy and satisfied, and there's always a lot of smiles, hugs, laughter, and back-slapping going on!

Diner Review №160

Great food, fast delivery !

Diner Review №161

Banana Leaf is a go to staple for our family. Top notch service, family atmosphere and flavorful, tasty Thai cuisine is the perfect recipe for success! We look forward to every time we get to enjoy Banana Leaf and recommend to anyone in the mood for tasty Thai food and a warm and welcoming experience

Diner Review №162

If you love a small, family-owned restaurant that serves authentic Thai food, Banana Leaf is a must!! Every single meal I have had here has been excellent - and the service is outstanding too. Go there today, you won’t regret it!

Diner Review №163

Best pad see ew I’ve had in a long time

Diner Review №164

Excellent food and service. BYOB is a bonus. Will come back.

Diner Review №165

This has to be my favorite restaurant for not only the food and the service but also the catering. In one phone call, I can give them the office to be catered, and they always already know what the office likes, how many and what time they start their noon meals. I have never been disappointed in the quality of the food and he’s always on time. Many of the Doctor’s offices I called on, would ask for Banana Leaf before I could even suggest a venue. They are definitely at the top of my list for catering needs!!!

Diner Review №167

Been going to Banana Leaf for years. Always good food, always good service, always a friendly atmosphere. They handled special request. I don’t know that I could say this about any place else, but I don’t believe I’ve ever had a bad meal there.
PS. My wife likes to go there which is amazing for any Asian food.

Diner Review №168

I Used Banana Leaf today for a catered work event- and not only were they on time and professional, but they knew exactly what to throw in there because they have been to this location before. THAT is customer service!!! Banana Leaf is a favorite for so many of the physicians I support

Diner Review №169

Wonderful food!!!

Diner Review №170

Best Thai food on the planet. Would highly recommend! Awesome staff, thanks Aldana for doing an exceptional job

Diner Review №171

Everything was perfect

Diner Review №172

Banana Leaf is one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. The food, service, and atmosphere are consistently top notch and never disappoints. Delicious food, always served hot and fresh. Love this place so much!

Diner Review №173

Foods is SCRUMPTIOUS !
Service is EXCELLENT !!
on a scale of 1-10 Banana Leaf is a 15!!!

Diner Review №174

The QUALITY IS SUPERIOR, the PORTIONS ARE GENEROUS, and the VALUE IS EXCEPTIONAL.

I've been eating here with my family, friends, and co-workers for over 20 years. (I'm way overdue writing this review, but you should know that there are many reasons that I keep coming back, even on special occasions.)

Steve, the Cajun Asian, is the owner and worth the visit, even just to have a conversation with him. You'll know which one he is because he's almost always there and extremely friendly. He epitomizes what a restaurant owner should be.

I will even admit I am an Orange Chicken snob. You won't find a better serving anywhere in Dallas. Chicken is fresh and perfectly crisp, and the sauce is outstanding. You have your choice of rice (brown, fried or white) and can choose your level of spice, from 1 to 5.

I'm almost always too stuffed for dessert, but when we do splurge, the choices are excellent and delicious!

Simply some of the best Thai food you can get in the DFW area. Food quality is amazing and portions are generous! Their waitstaff is also very friendly and attentive.

Diner Review №176

Large portions, great presentation,
consistent quality and great service. Prices are very reasonable. If you have not tried the tarot ice cream, I recommend you do.

Diner Review №177

Consistently delivering excellent food. Steve Jong is an excellent host and always caters to our every need. Definitely recommend especially for parties at home. From placing the order same day to having food delivered on time.

Diner Review №178

Food and service were terrific. My wife loves the Tom Kha soup and my daughter-in-law says the pineapple fried rice is the best she's ever had.

All of us enjoyed the Massaman Brisket Curry, Fresh Spring Rolls and the Shrimp Pad Thai.

I highly recommend this restaurant.

Diner Review №179

This is the second time in 3 weeks that I've catered with Banana Leaf. The food is always amazing, the portions are generous, and the guests are thrilled. Thank you Steve and Kameron for the food recommendations and for making the process easy. Looking forward to our next one

Diner Review №180

I had a great experience with this restaurant! The service was excellent. They were quick and efficient with my catering order, extremely thorough, kind employees, and very punctual! The food was delicious, my lunch event was a great success!

Diner Review №181

I was first introduced to Banana Leaf when we catered for work events. The owner himself, Steve, would deliver and set up for the event. I kept his number to contact him directly for future events. The food was always a hit that I started catering for my personal events too. Steve has always been quick to respond and put together an entire menu for me, which again received raves. Now his son, Kameron, has taken over and he has not let me down either! Whenever anyone asks me for a good Thai place, I always refer them to Banana Leaf. Go try them out if you haven’t yet!

Diner Review №182

Best Thai food in the Metroplex! Great service too!

Diner Review №183

Banana Leaf has great food with personalized spice levels, which opens up more choices.

Diner Review №184

Kameron and his staff will take great care of you. The food is none like you will ever have. Go see these folks. They know whats up.

Diner Review №185

Banana Leaf is my favorite restaurant. For one, it's BYOB, and the food is always consistent. I get the chicken lettuce wraps, and it's always enough for the next day or later. The vibe is chill, and the owners are always amiable and accommodating. I have tried other dishes, such as curry and salmon, which were very yummy. The food comes out fresh and is plated nicely. The menu is very affordable and has a variety of items to choose from. I love this place.

Diner Review №186

If I pick a Thai restaurant to go in Dallas, I pick Banana Leaf

Diner Review №187

Diner Review №190

Hello to the person that is reading this review, My name is Tiara. I’m writing this message to inform you about this amazing place with great service and food to enjoy. First time, I was Introduced from a family friend explaining this restaurant is the best place in North Dallas for Thai food.
I never had experience with Thai food before until the taste from this place changed my world.
I was personally introduced to the owner Steve (he is a humble gentleman that definitely makes you feel like his family). He told me about his background and where his family is from in Lousiana. I can immediately relate to him because my family is from there, and he gives hugs that make's you miss your family back home. I order from Steve (Shrimp Thai Fried Rice) with a spice of 2. I would love to explain more what Lousiana culture tastes like in food when you know someone who cooks from there. But that would be an article you will need to read lol. Too explain in a short description of the Thai Fried Rice I had from there is: (the food will touch your soul like it was made from home.)
I love this family oriented restaurant with amazing and delicious recipes for many new people like me who need to try.
Take this review from me, who comes by this place every once month to find that feeling of home cooked meals.
You will find that taste here at this place.

Diner Review №191

Great service. Delicious food! Highly recommend

I use Banana Leaf frequently for business catering. They have the best customer service and always deliver great food on time. My customers always say they love the variety and are particularly fond of the Thai fish. My favorite are the fresh spring rolls. It is nice to have a go to that is so consistently a crowd pleaser!
