Banana Leaf on Davie: Reviews & Ratings
Banana Leaf on Davie -- Easily one of the best Asian restaurants in Vancouver. A vibrant celebration of Southeast Asian cuisine, showcasing the bold, aromatic flavors of Malaysian cooking -- a rich fusion of Chinese, Indian, Malay, and Indonesian influences. Dishes were beautifully presented with generous portions, and the service was exceptional. A must-visit spot in Vancouver!
Malaysian restaurants are not very common but this one takes advantage of that and showcases some of their best foods. Loved their vegetarian and vegan options too. My personal favorite is the Roti Canai -- highly recommended. Their coconut based curries and desserts standout too. Should be a 5 star but giving 4 because of the slightly higher price.
The food here was spectacular. We had the 9-course 2 person meal. I would eat the exact same thing again. It was so good. Not sure how anyone rates this restaurant less than five stars.
Came here last night for dinner and tried the $30 tasting menu. Honestly, such a good deal. You get two appetizers and two mains per person, so there’s a great variety of dishes to try and share. I also had the mango margarita. It was super refreshing and paired really well with the spicier dishes. Service was excellent and super friendly and attentive without feeling over the top. I’ll definitely be coming back.
Yesterday i tried the Lunch Platter , and it was fantastic! The portions were generous, with a great variety of fresh, flavorful dishes. I especially loved the salad, really refreshing. Everything was well-seasoned and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was relaxing. Great value for the price—I’ll definitely be back to try more!
Amazing Malaysian food. We got the 7!course set meal. All the dishes were good. Will 10/10 come back again.
Nice place to eat I order the pineapple, seafood rice with chicken, it was ok dish just I expected more seafood, it was a lot of rice 4 shrimps and i can’t realize where was the chicken, is a good dish just don’t expect to eat a lot of seafood or chicken, the flavour was good, in the other hand the coconut was awesome!! Not super expensive the pineapple dish was $25 and the coconut $6 (was the deal of the day). The coconut terracotta was also super yummi!!! The service is great, and the place is very clean.
