I was there at 903 pm and they said they were closed. Opening hours is till10pm. They were clearly uninterested.

Obsessed with this place! You want good food? Look no further ! We always order more so we can take home. They also recently renovated the restaurant! Ps- visit the bathroom for a good dance sesh, they always place the best music and you can hear it well there read more

Booked this place for a 6PM dinner on Saturday night. Was hungry early so showed up around 5PM and the place was already bustling! Our family of 2 adults and 3 kids were seated in the back of the dinning area in a more secluded but spacious area which was perfect for us. Since we arrived earlier, it happened to still be happy hour so we ordered a feast. The most memorable items were the meat skewers, the roti and spicy green beans. The meat skewers were nicely seasoned and grilled well. The roti was flaky and soft at the same time. The spicy green beans were a recommendation from the waiter and it was a good one! Nice spice and good wok flavour. An awesome experience and worth trying. They have multiple locations throughout the city so I'll definitely be trying them out again. read more

I've always heard mixed reviews about Banana Leaf. We came during happy hour and we ordered the 5$ calamari. We liked it for 5$ but we would not pay full price for it as it was just like onion rings (without the onions of course). The laksa noodle was very flavourful and they had a lot of variety of seafood inside. The noodles that we ordered, we asked for spicy and it was very spicy. I had a hard time eating it even though I love spicy foods. Overall, the portions are a bit on the smaller side for people with big appetites. I would come again to try the other options they have on the menu. read more

Lunch specials are just that: over-priced for small portions. One of main reasons we've been taking clients to Kaya Malay down the street, a few blocks. And they sure know how to pack their tables, so you're constantly squeezing in and out. read more

Came here on a hot summer day with a ton of construction going on on the Broadway route. (Watch out for that). Honestly one of the best laksas I have had in a while. I'd come back for that. They also serve lemon/lime water which is super refreshing. Service was amazing as always and seating was far apart from others which is always nice. Not so crowded and great for an intimate meal. read more

So I haven't been back since my last review but was craving Malaysian food and we were in the area. Ordered the beef rendang, hainese chicken, Tom yum soup, the green beans and the hainese rice. Everything was perfect even the service. Nice job! read more

This is the best Malaysian food that I have ever had in Northern America. I went there with my Malaysian friend and I put the job of ordering in his good hand. The Rodti Canai was incredibly delicious. The Singaporean Laksa was mouth watering. I have to say these are "Must Order". Gulai is really good as well. Kerabu is good but if they can get mango from Thailand/Malaysia it will be way much better. Now I know what's authentic Malaysian good food! I will definitely be a regular customer of this restaurant read more

Came here with the whole family (8 people) for birthday celebrations. I'm unsure when, but the place has undergone some decorative changes - it's more modern, brighter although I'd argue it lost some of it's more traditional charm. There's a bench that runs the length of the restaurant and has more of a diner feel to it, than a Malaysian restaurant. Aside from that the food was spot on just as I remember it; roti, satay skewers, lamb curry, spicy prawns, mi goreng, seafood dishes and the beans were all delicious. There's ample free parking in the rear alley if you arrive before 7pm which is a bonus, it fills up fast! We very much enjoyed the food, and ambience - if I were to be a bit picky, I'd say for a large group it'd be good if all appetizers came out at once rather than staggered. read more

Not sure what has been going on at this restaurant but it seems the quality and care is lacking. I ordered here for lunch and excitedly awaited my food only to have it delivered without any utensils. Chalk full of bean sprouts almost more than noodles which seems stingy, and then while I was eating (luckily my work had extra chop sticks) I bite into a piece of plastic...really disappointed. read more

Banana Leaf is definitely my go-to when I'm craving Malaysian food! I've only been here during dinner hours, they're usually really busy and the restaurant is quite small so definitely make reservations ahead of time. We usually celebrate birthdays here and order the 11 course tasting menu which includes a huge lobster tail! It's really filling as their portions a fairly large. One of my favourites is the deep fried banana with ice cream... So good! Their drinks are also really good! I recommend getting the Blue Hawaiian or the Mai Tai. Definitely would recommend coming here for large gatherings/events! read more

Weekday lunch. Ask for the gluten free menu! Many lunch specials are on the gluten free menu. The boneless chicken was very mild in flavor. There is a bit of heat but the flavors are not complex. Menu: There are are many gluten free dishes on the menu. The boneless chicken curry contains a good amount of vegetables such as eggplant, bell pepper, green beans, carrots and even okra. The actual curry sauce was a bit thin. The lunch special comes with a side of rice. Unfortunately there was a hard lump of undercooked rice in my meal. Service: Fast and friendly. I ordered takeout. My server said it would take 20 mins but it took 10 minutes. Maybe I misheard :) Venue: Very cozy interior with beautiful artwork. I didn't dine in but the interior looks very nice from the entrance. read more

Came here for lunch! Warning, it gets quite busy if you arrive after 12pm on a weekday so be sure to make reservations if you know ahead of time! I ordered the satay and gado-gado combo from their lunch deals( generally $12), which consists of 4 chicken satay skewers on top of the gado-gado (mix of bean sprouts and tofu). Best part is the heaping amounts of peanut sauce they drenched over it, so heads up if you're not a sauce kinda person, this dish may not be your cup of tea. I loved it though. The portions were just right, leaving me happy and satisfied. Couple of friends ordered the nasi goreng (fried rice), laksa, fish fillet and chicken rice. If I'm in the neighborhood, I wouldn't be oppose to trying the chicken rice! read more

Yesterday I went with a large group. First off, very slow service. I waited and waited and waited for them to ask me what I wanted to drink. I was dying of thirst. They took 20 minutes just to bring our table water. I had to hunt down the female server, just to place an order for a drink. Ten minutes after the original 20 minute wait for WATER I received the drink. If you guys are busy, get your tables their drinks! At the very least. I became so unhappy and so anxious sitting there waiting and waiting and waiting. We were so hungry. They forgot the children's food. It came out very last. Anyone who has children, knows how difficult that is. They should get their food first. I won't go back to this location again. All that being said, The food is a 3.8 star. I had the glazed ginger fish and roti bread. Both very delicious. The drink menu is affordable and fun. If the service were better I would have gave them a four star. Service is EVERYTHING to me. read more

Banana leaf is one of our go to place for authentic Malaysian comfort food. They serve the food family style., meaning, all dishes are shared. Portion sizes are reasonable. Food is tasty. You have to have a liking for Asian flavors to appreciate. I just didn't like the coconut rolls they served for dessert with the Dine out package. It was too dry I choked on it. I love their banana rolls with ice cream though, which wasn't in the package we chose. Btw, they served unlimited rice during the dine out event which was really great! read more

Banana Leaf has become the standard by which I compare all other Malaysian/Indonesian restaurants - which is a bad thing because I've yet to find another that measures up! This wouldn't be a problem if I was still living in Vancouver; luckily, I visit often. (I always say the reasons I go back to Vancouver are [in this order]: 1. Mom, 2. FOOD, 3. Friends) Over the six years I've been coming here, there have been a few additions to their menu and the prices have gone up a bit (damn you inflation!), but little else has changed - in a good way. Besides the food, two standouts are the Malaysian décor (e.g. traditional Malaysian kites, called mau, hang on the walls) and the very attractive female staff. As for the food, I've tried many of the items on their menu. But since I don't have the luxury of coming here whenever I want anymore, I've pared down the menu to a select few favourites that I always order. I start off every meal with a half-order of ROTI CANAI (flaky layered bread, http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/eUf08fT2qf-l8Ofi--sETw?select=H3dwlRD3z3g9BJAuywUB0w). It's incredible - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of buttery-goodness (but surprisingly not that greasy). The curry dip is amazing with it but the roti itself is so good it doesn't really need it. The pièce de résistance has got to be the SINGAPORE LAKSA (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/eUf08fT2qf-l8Ofi--sETw?select=DbTvYKEOTUGpTpB6BWAhRw). O-M-F-G! My mouth has a mini-orgasm every time I have this. The coconut soup is so rich and incredibly flavourful with the dried shrimps and lemongrass. The rice vermicelli, which has a large surface area : volume ratio, is perfect for soaking up lots of soup! Same goes for the sponge-like tofu puffs :) The bountiful toppings of bean sprouts, egg, chicken, fish cake, squid and shrimp are all fresh and never overcooked! Another favourite is the Alaskan BLACK COD WITH CARAMELIZED GINGER SAUCE. The sauce is sweet, savoury, garlicky, and goes perfectly with rice. Despite how flavourful it is, the sauce doesn't overpower the fish - which is fatty and super-flavourful itself. For dessert you can't go wrong with the always-popular fried banana with ice cream. For something a little different, I always get the PULUT HITAM (black sticky rice pudding, http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/eUf08fT2qf-l8Ofi--sETw?select=_mCuDFyxvhVGn4L3VBVxOw, served with coconut milk, with or without durian). The sticky rice is served hot, has a great chewy texture, is not too sweet, and has a wonderful nutty/chocolate-y flavour. Recently, I had the fried oysters and braised lamb shank. The oysters (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/eUf08fT2qf-l8Ofi--sETw?select=67VtrUQ8SYgWECTw3779KA) were crisp, plump, and well seasoned with loads of cracked peppercorn. Though the lamb shank (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/eUf08fT2qf-l8Ofi--sETw?select=4opehz8O29a1YM3_iz0BpQ) wasn't as tender as I would like, it was flavourful and I liked all the cumin in the broth. I've never really had a dish I didn't like. Other notable items are the kari lamb, Malaysian curry chicken, anything with sambal sauce, and mee goreng (Malaysian fried egg noodle). read more

I've eaten at this location a handful of times now, I find the service to be better than the other locations I've tried. Most recently I had the soft shell crab and papaya salad and the halibut served with their Singaporean Laksa broth. The salad was delicious but the portion was smaller than I remember especially for $8. For my main, the halibut was slightly overlooked which was disappointing but the flavour of the broth made up for it. If you're not a fan of okra I wouldn't order this dish, the okra was extra slimy and you can taste it throughout the broth. I also ordered the roti but they forgot to place my order in the kitchen....it's the first time I've had an issue with them forgetting an order. The roti is delicious and a must try! My other favourite dishes are the beef rendang and lamb shank. The meat is always very tender and flavour full, never disappoints! I've brought my family to Banana Leaf for family lunch a couple times, only thing is that if your parents don't like any spice in their food don't bring them here! My dad didn't enjoy the food as everything he wanted was marked as spicy. This restaurant is also good for groups. I'll continue to visit this Banana leaf! read more

I came here during happy hour in the afternoon. The place was not packed, there's probably just 5 tables occupied. There's only 1 server at that time, I find it annoying since I always need to get her attention first. I ordered the calamari and eggplant fries to eat in and char kuey teow to go. Both appetizers were good especially the eggplant fries. I've never had eggplant fries before and I would say it something I would definitely order again on my every visit here... it's really good!!! The char kuey teow is pretty good too but I find the To Go portion very small compare to the portion you get when you eat in. read more

The Banana Leaf has done major renovations. Personally we prefer it the way it used to be. We find it to be very generic with the renovation and it feels just like any other restaurant. Before it had so much character and you felt like you were dining in an Asian restaurant as the décor and ambiance were more like you would expect of an Asian restaurant. Now it feels so sterile with no soul and warmth. The food however is still exceptional. We had the 11 course tasting menu for $45.00 and all the dishes were very good if not exceptional. I will not name all the dishes as you can check it out on their website. To us although everything was very good we found the following 4 dishes to be exceptional. The mussels in cumin sauce were some of the best mussels that we've had. The sauce was delicious. My husband ended up scooping up the sauce with a spoon and eating it like soup after the mussels were all gone. The lobster tail in garlic butter and peppercorn sauce. This is the one dish that seemed to be a regular size serving. With and 11 course menu most of the items are tapas size. The lobster tail was so tender and tasty. We licked the shells and there was so much flavour. The carmelized ginger seabass was amazing. The skin was so nice and crisp but the fish itself was so smooth and flakey. It was melt in your mouth tender and not overcooked. The dessert of deep fried banana with ice cream was a great way to end a wonderful meal. It was a good size banana cut in half and served with ice cream and peanuts. The 11 course tasting menu is $45.00 Service was very good. I just wish that they had managed to the warmth and welcome feeling of the old Banana Leaf when they did the remodelling. They do have a limited number of parking spaces at the rear of the restaurant but you will have to negotiate some stairs down to the restaurant from their parking lot. We'll definitely be back. read more

This place was highly recommended by a friend or I would have skipped it. We got 3 things for 2 of us and had leftovers. Turmeric spinach made a good starter because it was garlicky, light and very fresh. For main dishes we asked for Assam Curry made vegetarian and they got it exactly right. Tangy coconut milk curry, mildly spicy without making you cry for mercy. With nice fresh green beans floating in the generous amount of sauce. Also got the Mee Goreng noodles, special vegetarian order of no fish sauce or shrimp paste and once again they got it right! The noodles were lightly crispy, smokey, flavored with egg and tasty tofu. Ahh so good. Definitely coming back here again. read more

Second time at banana leaf. My first experience was meh but I really enjoyed my second time around here. We had a girls night for my family (4 ladies) and ordered A LOT of food. OF COURSE WE LET THE PREGNANT ONE ORDER!! haha!!! Let me see if I can remember our list... We got Chicken Satay, Tofu Goreng, Mango Salad, Roti Canai, Sambal Green Beans, Panggang Fish, Gulai Seafood, Mee Goreng, Eggplant Fries and the Goreng Pisang. I know. There were lots to pack though!! Chicken Satay - SO SOFT. The peanut sauce was nice too. I wish there was a little more crunch on the sauce but I'm not complaining!! Tofu Goreng - I've never had this anywhere else so def unique to me. I am not a fan of cucumbers and I attempted to eat them in this dish but just couldn't push myself to do it. Love the peanuts sprinkled on top and the veggies in it. The mixed textures of the soft tofu and crispness of the deep fried portion was nommm. Mango Salad - I didn't have too much of the Mango Salad due to the cucumbers. I know!! I should have sucked it up. I'm sure it was delicious though as the rest of my family ate it all. Roti Canai - Crowd favourite!! Roti itself is soft and crispy on the edges. The sauce I think is maybe laksa?? I'm no expert but definitely my favourite. We ordered two!! HEHEHE Sambal Green Beans - UGH. My fav dish. Seriously. Love how fresh the beans were. The prawns that were in it for NOT overcooked at all which was a plus. Not too salty where I had to eat it with rice. Perfect veggie dish. Panggang Fish - WARNING!! This dish is SALTY. It's not the bad kind but you'll definitely need to eat it with rice. Love the okras in it and the fish pieces are deep fried. There's also a bit of spice to it. Maybe the dish itself was cooked with some fish sauce or shrimp paste but def a fishy smell to it. Don't be put off though!! For sure would order again!! Gulai Seafood - A basic yellow curry. Lots of different seafoods like mussels, clams, fish and prawns. I'm not too sure if there were squids or not as we boxed up the rest and I didn't take the box home with me. There are veggies in it as well so it makes a good dish that you could possibly just get on its own with a side of rice. Mee Goreng - Tasty!! A bit of a kick to it but not bad at all. It almost tastes like the Chinese stir fried beef with the flat noodles in that brown sauce. There are beef, tofu and I saw some prawns. So good!! One of my favourite dishes as well!!! Can't wait to eat my leftovers for lunch. Eggplant Fries - WOW. The texture of the eggplant is really weird. I'm sure the outside is breaded and it was deep fried but it almost felt like the inside of the fries were hollow. There was a hint of the eggplant and the rest was more of a salted and spiced batter. It came with sweet and sour sauce drizzled on top. Might be best to get the sauce on the side as there are a lot of the fries and you might want to pack them without the sauce soaking the fries!! Goreng Pisang - THIN BATTER. THIS. I can't emphasize enough how much I appreciate this. I cannot stand thick, almost breaded, batter on my bananas. It just takes away from the bananas themselves... Loved every bite of it and the maple syrup was definitely a plus. AND PEANUT!! Like a banana sundae MMM... Overall, really enjoyed my dinner. Reservations were needed for my little group as it was very busy when we arrived. Our server was quick to fill our tea and water but never really checked out often to see how our food was (we had lots of dishes swapped out for new food that was coming). That could be an issue if there was a problem with the dish itself or if there were any mistakes. The coconut rice here was very subtle. I normally like more fragrant ones, almost dessert like but everyone's preferences are different! Free parking in the back for banana leaf customers or you can do paid parking in the front as well. 10/10 would come back!! read more

We tried the Dine Out Vancouver menu for this location. We were a large group of 15 and had made a reservation. Once we arrived, we were told we would be seated at two different tables! I was not informed of that when I made reservations over the phone. This made conversations a bit difficult as you can imagine. For the food, the restaurant had ran out of cumin mussels and substituted calamari and spring rolls in its place. Good job for the restaurant to substitute food. Bad job for the restaurant to not plan ahead on inventory especially when I made reservations 2 weeks in advance. Food overall was good. It was a good opportunity to try a little bit of everything. Is it the best Malaysian food out there? Not really. I consider it more fusion to cater to the Canadian palette. This restaurant is a good introduction for those who are not familiar with the cuisine. Food was served family style. Service was great. Food arrived to our table really fast. Staff cleared dirty places quickly and attended to our requests for drink menus, extra napkins, etc quickly. We were charged the 18% gratuity for being a large group of 10 or more people. We were also told that there was a minimum charge of $25 per person as a large group. We were okay with that as the dine out menu was $28 a person. It was not a big issue although some of the people in the group mentioned we should not be charged the 18% gratuity automatically because we were essentially split into two groups. Minus one star for the bad seating arrangement. read more

After two failed attempts at finding yelp recommended restaurant in Vancouver (both restaurants were closed), we finally found a place that fulfilled our needs for Malaysian food. It was a Tuesday and it was pretty busy. We only waited for about 10 minutes, which wasn't bad. For appetizer, we ordered roti canai. The flaky bread was one of the best I've had. It was crunchy on the outside but was soft. The curry dip was delicious also. The papaya and pineapple green salad was also good. The salad had a good amount of pineapple and papaya pieces with mixed green salad and tomato in a house vinaigrette dressing. For our dinner, we ordered rendang beef, black cod with caramelized ginger sauce, and sambal kang kung. Of course, we had to pair everything up with white rice. The rendang beef was to die for and a must order. The beef was tender and the curry sauce was perfection. The black cod with the caramelized sauce was sweet with the right amount of ginger infused into it. I just had to be careful when getting pieces of the fish because it had some fish bone. The sambal kang kung was okay but I think it had too much shrimp paste for my taste. We didn't get to order dessert since we were full. We left with some leftovers, which still tasted good the following day. We will definitely go back here when we come back to Vancouver. read more

The beef rendang was cooked perfectly this time around and our favourite dish was the ginger cod...it was so good. read more

The restaurant was clean. The food was bland. The service was very slow. Servers seemed confused when asked questions about the menu and we had three servers.

Presentation of food is nice, portion size is decent and taste is a little above par, it's acceptable if you're visiting Vancouver and craving Malaysian food.... The only memorable dishes were Hainan chicken $18 for half chicken, chicken skewers $8 for 4 skinny ones, seafood laksa $15.... again relatively pricey but the trick is to go during happy hour where they have $5-8 items and $15 noodle / rice plates where you buy one get one!! I believe Happy hour is after 8:30pm sun through thur! Another reason for the 2 stars - waitress took my left over wings to pack up and she managed to drop 3 of the 4 chicken wings (left me with one wing). Other than sorry.... nothing else was done to fix the issue! No good! read more

This place is a super-friendly way to introduce non-ethnic-food-eating people to some delicious Malaysian food. I have taken my meat-and-potatoes father and a group of visitors from Ohio (if you haven't heard, it's not a State known for its International food) and they've all raved about it. The food is all served family style, so you can order a few dishes and share them with your group. It's a great way to experiment with a lot of new flavours and ingredients. The food comes out as soon as it's ready, so if you don't share one person might finish their meal before all the plates have arrived. So share! The service has always been as warm as the colours on the walls. There's a nice selection of wine and beer to choose from. I've tried a lot of their menu items, and enjoyed all of them. My favourite is always the Abundance Seafood in Gulai Sauce. That Gulai Sauce is so good you just want to lick the plate. Another favourite was a seasonal plate with mango, prawns and chilli. It's not on the regular menu, but it was such a treat that I now pay close attention when the server goes over the specials! One of the bonuses is that the food is rarely spicy. I find that even the food that they might label as spicy is not. I really like spicy food, but it's easy to add heat to a dish. These dishes have intense flavours without the heat, so you don't have to worry about having something to give spice wimps at your table. read more

Went here on Tuesday (July 14th) for my birthday dinner. My family and I enjoyed it here. Service was quick and friendly and the food was good although my parents didn't quite like the Singaporean laksa. (We asked to make it vegetarian). My mom had been to Singapore some years back and comparing the laksa she had here to the one she had in Singapore, she said the laksa here lacked something she couldn't pin down. Odd, though, since I'm reading reviews here raving about the laksa. Maybe we got the odd one out. We all loved the rest of the dishes we ordered, though, and I have to say the pineapple fried rice is amazing! It had just the right sweetness and crunch from the pineapple chunks. We asked for a vegetarian version and were gladly accommodated. The roti canai was delicious as was the tofu goreng. We had to order two dishes of tofu goreng as it was just too good. Perfectly crisp on the outside and silky on the inside while the sauce was very flavourful. Will be back again especially for the tofu goreng and the (vegetarian) pineapple fried rice. read more

Amazing! We intended to go somewhere else but ended up here after not wanting to wait in line for a generic chain restaurant dinner. What luck that we ended up here! We all ordered lychee mojitos and they are hands down the best mojitos we'd ever had. Definitely worth ordering, even if they aren't the special. We ordered Mi Goreng, lamb curry and ten veggies in ten spices, and they were all delicious. However! Everyone agreed that the 10 veggie + spice curry was the best. A must order! I'm sure if you're a meat lover you could ask to add prawns. I did remove a star for not giving rice with curry/dishes with gravy. At the price for some of these dishes, a bowl of basic white rice would be well appreciated. However, if you end up buying the extra rice, the coconut rice wrapped in banana leaf is amazing. Definitely a must visit either for drinks OR food (or both). read more
