Went to Banana Leaf today with clients and this place continues to win me over. Every. Single. Time. Great food, great service and feels like home....if my home was an incredible Thai food restaurant owned by a guy from Louisiana! Steve's hard to miss, he's the guy that wears an LSU shirt every day of his life. Geaux Tigers! My 'gotta haves' are the fish kapow, pad kee mao with beef and the brisket curry...yes, BRISKET in massaman curry! Just go. Thank me later. read more

The pad Thai spicy 4 was good but I would get spicy 5 next time. Service was great and I got to meet the LSU alumni owner Steve. He had the lsu shoes and nice lsu polo outfit. The restaurant is cute and they have nice bathrooms. Definitely will be back to try their curry. read more

I don't think I've ever actually been to a Thai restaurant until today!! A very interesting menu with a lot of delicious looking food, ultimately I decided to try the Pad See Ew which means drunken noodles lol. Yes they certainly were drunk with flavor, with the fresh carrots and broccoli very yummy meal, not to mention the delicious veggie roll with peanut sauce and spring roll with sweet and sour sauce. Expanded my food horizons further today and I'll definitely be trying some more Thai in the near future and if that's something you're interested in as well then I definitely would recommend banana leaf Thai cuisine! read more

Banana Leaf Thai Cuisine - Thai Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We have been enjoying the delicious food & fun atmosphere at Banana Leaf for about 25 years! My boys loved it when they were little & like to return there when they are in town to get their favorite dishes. My family has celebrated many birthdays, anniversaries, & congratulatory dinners in the large party room. They have a huge menu, & if you want an item omitted or changed, they are very accomodating. Everything is made from scratch, so they are able to do that. We like to start with the crispy spring rolls, cream cheese rolls, & the butterfly shrimp (incredible batter). My favorite soup is the coconut (Tom Kha)--such varied spices coming together for the perfect flavor. For entrees, the curries are fabulous! Eggplant with Thai Basil, Pad Thai, Mango Stir Fry, & Pad Kapow are some of our best-loved dishes. If you want a lighter dish, I highly recommend the beef or green papaya salads. Don't forget the homemade ice cream!!! Besides the wonderful food, the warm hospitality & thoughtfulness of the family who own it & their gracious staff will keep you coming back! read more

Pad Thai with Tofu, Tom Kha Soup Solid, definitely satisfied the craving. A little on the sweet side for the pad thai, but I didnt mind that read more

For what it is this a wonderful little Thai place. Cute decor, ambiance is nice, service is always great. I usually go in for a sit down meal but because their Pad Thai is so good and close to where I am I do pick ups from time to time. Price is very reasonable! My go to is the Chicken or shrimp Pad Thai. They offer that with either a soup or salad I love the peanut sauce house salad. read more

And the owner is one of the most amicable and gracious host I have ever spoken with. Whether you are dining in or looking for catering, I do highly suggest looking into this restaurant. read more

Been going here for over a decade, and it's a family favorite. It is even favorited by my family who visited from across the country! Service is incredible and workers are always very sweet and welcoming. Although food takes a bit to arrive, it's always loaded with flavors of thai. One of our favorites is the herb sea bass with their sauce, which is loaded with sweet and salty flavors! However, the food tends to be salter during some visits more than others but it is always still enjoyable for families! If you ever need a place to get some good thai cuisine, this would probably be your stop. read more

We had a big group, 20+ friends who got together to share a meal. I believe we overwhelmed the staff and the kitchen because many of the ordered came out incorrectly. The entrees we did receive were good ad prepared nicely but not what many of us ordered. The kitchen offered to redo everything but we had waited way too long already to have the kitchen start all over. We'll definitely have to give the restaurant a whirl again later on. read more

Great, light, Thai food! This establishment has it. We ventured in late at night after passing by so many times. It was still packed and they still wanted to accommodate my crew. The chef created me a meal not listed on the menu because I so enjoy extra spicy, light meals with lots of veggies and chicken or shrimp. She did beyond what I imagined! The appetizer we chose was shrimp rolls. My son had beef and broccoli and another order of sweet and sour chicken with mango chunks. This is an awesome place to visit for lunch or dinner. They have a bar that was closed because we came kinda late. I really liked the fact that the server asked a family to calm their child from disturbing the other guests. I will be coming back again of course sooner next time. read more

A friend who works nearby this restaurant had been saying great things about it so we met up for lunch one day and he was absolutely right. The food, service, and prices were all excellent. After a few weeks, my wife and I had lunch here and everything was great again. We ordered the pad see ew with chicken and the pad thai with shrimp. Both entrees came with a side salad and a bowl of soup as part of the lunch special. The side salad was simple, fresh, and good. The dressing could've been a tad less sweet but was good nevertheless. The soup had a nice clean broth and plenty of veggies. Both noodle dishes were excellent and flavorful but I would have to give the nod to the pad kee mao dish since the chewy fresh noodles are harder to come by in Thai restaurants. Both dishes were nicely prepared (both the flavor and the presentation), and the portion was generous. The $2 upcharge for the shrimp was well worth it since they were large and plentiful. Karthik did a great job on the service. He was pleasant and attentive. The restaurant has many tables and booths of various sizes so it's a good place for both small and large groups. Even though it's a bit of a distance from where I live, I will make the drive for this place whenever I'm in the mood for some Thai food, which is pretty often. read more

Pleasantly surprised by this place! The food was very well priced and well flavored. The ambiance is nice as well and the lunch specials come with a salad and soup. I ordered the cashew stir fry and thought it was delicious. Like most Thai places, you can add a spice level to your dish. I went for a 4 out of 5 (spicy level) and survived so that's an additional plus for me. read more

After having passed by Banana Leaf for the past 22 years of living approximately 7.5 miles away from here, we (my Mom and I) finally decided to stop in and have a meal. My only regret is that we didn't come here sooner. Hands down, the best Thai Food we have ever had. A truly authentic culinary experience. A small, intimate and aesthetically pleasing space with beautiful and inviting energy. Ariana was our server. Upon entering, she greeted us promptly with a smile, then seated and handed us menus. She was very patient with us as we were first time visitors. Not once during our meal did we ever feel rushed or like we had to vacate the table for turnover. We started things off with unsweetened ice teas. Cool and refreshing even though the blazing hot Texas temperatures are beginning to wind down. Our meals came with a soup and salad with peanut sauce. Today's soup was cucumber with tofu. Simple yet elegant - almost like silk. The broth was flavorful as well and was the perfect accompaniment to our appetizer. We ordered the Thai fresh chicken spring rolls which were generously filled - the ratio of chicken to veggies was perfect. The combination and balance achieved a perfect bite. The flavor profile of the peanut sauce was something we both particularly enjoyed. It wasn't too heavy nor did it linger on the palate. For our entrées, Mom ordered the green chicken curry(not pictured) and I ordered the glass noodle pad thai. It is clear that this establishment is indeed authentic for the simple reason that both dishes were excellent, beautifully executed, and accurate in every detail right down to the flavor and spice level(we both ordered a 2 on the 5 scale). The portions are both generous and reasonable for the price and for two (or perhaps more) people to share. For dessert, Mom ordered the mango ice cream and I ordered the green tea ice cream. It was absolutely divine. The earthiness of the green tea with a creamy/icy consistency and a hint of sweetness left me wanting more. Mom said she enjoyed hers as well. I understand that Banana Leaf has been conducting business for the past 36 years, and there is a reason- it absolutely reflects the owner's passion, commitment, and adherence to high standards of food, service, and ambiance. Wanted to meet the owner since I have heard others speak highly of him, but the servers mentioned that he was out doing a catering order, so perhaps on our next visit. We will be back! read more

I saw this place listed as one of the most underrated restaurants in Dallas and have passed by it for years without ever stopping in. What a treat! Service was top-notch, and we loved the feel of the dining area. It's cozy without being stuffy. We got a couple of appetizers - corn parties and the fried spring rolls. I really enjoyed the spring rolls but the corn pasties were not my favorite version of them. They were more like flat hushpuppies. Tasty, but not what I would have preferred. Hubby got the Red Curry with shrimp and I got the Pad Thai with tofu. Their tofu was extra firm and cut into perfectly bite-sized portions. I always ask for a side of peanut sauce and their's was different - thicker than most I've had - but I loved it. I'll definitely put this on the rotation! read more

We went here for a family dinner. It was hot inside. I guess the ac went out. It's a nice quaint little spot. The waitress was nice and then we had a waiter who was very hyper but overall good. We ordered the spring rolls, chicken satay, lettuce wraps for appetizers...dinner was the mango salmon,cashew delight,steak w/herb,panaag chicken curry...overall all the food was delicious and fresh and tasty. Dessert was the taro ice cream and the fried cheesecake which wasn't actually cheesecake but it was the filling. Overall good spot for food. read more

This restaurant is my go to spot for Thai food. Everything from food to service is amazing. The restaurant has plenty of seating and is clean. The appetizers were the only place that wasn't a huge hit for me. They were good but nothing exceptional. Fish cakes came with a red curry sauce but it was more of a clear vinaigrette with onions in it. The cream cheese roll was pretty much crab rangoons but still good. I got the Jungle curry shrimp at level 3 spice and it wasn't overwhelming spicy. Shrimp was fried well and delicious. Veggies complimented the sauce well. The mango sticky rice is a must get. The rice was warm and sweet with the condensed milk. Mangos added the perfect balance to the dessert. read more

We had been here years ago and just forgot about the place. We were looking for a place with a nice atmosphere to host Xmas Eve lunch that had some decent gluten free options for one person in our group and Banana Leaf popped up. We had reservations for ten which ended up to be nine of us. I was extremely pleasantly surprised by our entire experience. First our server was exceptional. She was friendly, patient and got all of our orders correct. She was prompt, checked on us at just the right intervals, and made sure everyone had what they wanted. Best of all was the food. The flavors were on point, it was fresh and hot. We had appetizers, drinks and entrees. They give you just enough so you are too full for dessert. We so appreciated the food, service and the fact that they gave us our own little room so we could have privacy and did not bother others with our noise level. Thank you so much for a truly great dining experience! read more
