My favorite Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh! So far, I haven't tried a Pad See Ew, Pad Thai, or Tom Kha as good as Smiling Banana Leaf's. To have three dishes that can't be topped elsewhere calls for 5 stars.
I like the noodles here because they come in large servings, spice-levels seem accurate, and they are generous with the protein and vegetables. The noodles also seem to have a savory smokey flavor (perhaps from the wok), that I have not tasted anywhere else. In addition to great food, I've never had an issue with service. The wait staff are always friendly and the food always arrives quickly.
Although the space is small, the food is worth the tiny squeeze.
