For a restaurant that made it to the "top 5 restaurants" in pittsburgh on yelp, this place was a major let down. There is great Thai, and then there is just plain blah Thai.... Smiling banana leaf's food belongs to the later category. There was nothing really memorable or special that set this meal apart... What a disappointment!
For our meal we ordered their famed chicken pad thai, the fried rice & the red chili shrimp. None really good. If I absolutely HAD TO pick one I would say it was the fried rice (what a sad state of affair!)
The place isn't large, just a hole in the wall. So don't you dare come in with a big group to enjoy the food here!
Overall: I'm sure there are better options in Pittsburgh for thai food that would have deserved a spot on the top Pittsburgh restaurant lists over smiling banana leaf.
