"A mini-tour of Asia: Thai, Singaporean, Cantonese are all represented on Banana Leaf's expansive menu. A must is the Roti Canai, an Indian pancake with curry dipping sauce. It arrives piping hot with a warm curry dipping sauce and is buttery and flaky and perfectly starchy—you may end up ordering a second. Other faves are Beef Rendang, Hainanese Chicken and Sizzling Bean Curd. The fragrant yellow rice seasoned with the stock from Hainanese Chicken served in a red tub is a treat. For more heat ask the waitstaff for Malaysian spicy." - ph Design Shop

✅ Quick, responsive and friendly service ✅ They have the best chicken satay I have ever tried in the US and Europe combined. It was very tender and packed with flavors. The last time I enjoyed such a delicious satay was in Singapore many years ago. ✅ Tender and delicious Beef Rendang, although it was less spicy than what I had in Southeast Asia. Just take note that this dish was served with rice (no vegetables). ❌ We found everything we ordered authentic and tasty. The only one we didn’t like as much was the Laksa. However, this could be because we’re used to Singaporean Laksa and not the Malaysian version.

November 2024 First time leaving a review after many visits over the years. We were happy to return and try their lunch special. A restaurant in this shopping centre needs to stay competitive to earn customer satisfaction and loyalty. The lunch special offers generous portion. Our samba okra and shrimp were delicious. Curry chicken was the authentic dish my whole family enjoyed. Kung Pao chicken was with the Malaysian touch with the introduction of red onion. I enjoyed the usage of red onion due to its sweet and richness. However, we found the samba beef kind of odd. Not what we expected but still ok. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch, we even bought additional chicken curry to bring home. Service was attentive and food was served quickly.

I would say this place and Phat eatery have some of the best Malaysian food in Houston. The classics are well done here, roti canai, beef rendang, and sizzling bead curd were all great. Laksa was mediocre unfortunately.

went this last saturday. i've been going here, and the other location, for over 15 years. I will never go back. for some reason they though they could give me fried noodles with no onion, garlic, salt, sugar, spices, or chili. why? because I am not Asian? I will never go back. ever. At least now there is competition. if you did this 8 years ago there was only on other option in town. now I have 3. haha, jokes on you. you saved 50 cents in ingredient and now you will get no more revenue from me or anyone I can find who will listen to me about my experience.

The restaurant did change its menu. So my friend and I tried two dishes, and I had the fish sticks. Overall, the taste was great and suited my personal taste. It wasn't the weekend but there were still many guests, and there were many seats occupied in the restaurant. The prices were also affordable, and I would definitely come back to dine here again.

I like Chow Kueh Teow and beef rendang very much. It is pretty good. Thai ice milk tea is also highly recommended.

It's the besttt Asian food I had in Houston. The gravy of roti is packed with coconut flavor. Chicken satay was equally good and the soy sauce noodles hit the spot. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and I see why it's been featured in many articles.
