If I lived down the street from Smiling Banana Leaf, it would probably be dangerous. I'd probably get takeout from here every time I didn't feel like cooking. Eating in again would be another story. It's just so tight in here it's pretty uncomfortable. Their entire space is smaller than my family room & every time the door opened yesterday, I froze.
Now for the good part. Their food is really delicious! They have so many options on the menu and many are seafood dishes, which excites me. I had a hard time choosing but ultimately picked the prik poa talay with seafood, lots of veggies & a sweet chili paste. Yum! There are at least 7-8 other menu options I'd love to try.
Previously we'd tried multiple veggie appetizers and they were all very tasty. Yesterday we ordered the fried calamari & unfortunately it arrived overcooked. It was probably a 10 second mistake, so I won't be too harsh on that when everything else I've ordered here I clearly loved.
Service has been outstanding in both our visits here & they delivered a full 9 in spice to my husbands dish, which made him super happy. It's rare when this happens. Prices here are super reasonable - my lunch entree was $10.
I'm anxious to eat their food again, but from now on its takeout.
