Reviews for Banana Leaf Malaysian Cafe in Vancouver, BC
We took chef?s choice 12 course menu. This is the first time I was having Malaysian cuisine. The food was average. Honestly it... was a bit extra sweet for me. Pricing is high compared to the taste of the food. Tips: pricing in the menu is confusing. Makesure of the price before you order. Read more
Had the course meal here, very enjoyable, especially the shrimp paste green bean dish. The fish curry was very fresh as well,... and the coconut panna cotta had that authentic taste of gula melaka sugar. I think the spice/flavoring was a little toned downcompared to in KL/Malaysia, but definitely scratches the itch. Read more
We had an incredible dinner. A friend recommended the place and am glad we tried it. The Nyonya pork side ribs was cook to... perfection. So much flavors. We also ordered the boneless chicken and it was super delicious. Read more
Very nice hissing gem between all those Asian restaurants . I always liked Malaysian food but banana leaf takes it to another... level . We did the chef tasting menus and ordered laksa which are our favorites and everyone in our party enjoyed the food . It.It?s around $50 a person . Service was amazing , food came quick and tasty .

This is a revised downgraded review for lack of consistency on my second visit. Original: The food here was unexpectedly... fantastic. I ordered the Thursday special Assam Seafood Curry and it was surprisingly good. A good balance of Seafood includingfish, mussels, shrimp, squid and scallops mixed together with vegetables such as okra and aubergine. For a special and suchbalanced nutrition i thought the Thursday special was amazing. I might go every Thursday. The customer service was also verygood. Read more
We were impressed with the attentive and gentle demeanour of all of the staff, made us feel very welcomed. The dishes were very... tasty and good portions save for the beef rendang which I thought was a tad on the dry side, not as tender as I would have likedbut the spicing was nice. Will be back to enjoy the fare! Read more
Couldn?t get into any restaurants last minute in this area and thank goodness, Banana Leaf took us walk-ins and we were... starving. We were greeted right away and were given physical menus. We decided to order the tasting menu with 9 courses. It was$35 per person and it was just my husband and I. Totally worth the money, I highly recommend! The tasting menu was a good mix ofmeat, seafood and vegetables. We left the restaurant with a happy, full belly. Don?t recommend the cocktails, they did nottaste good at all. The bartenders there do not know how to make a good cocktail. Cash/credit cards accepted. Read more
Stopped by for a quick dinner, good experience! I had the assam curry tofu, a smooth dish which will definitely fill you up. I... recommend getting a side of rice to go with, as it makes the dish even better. The staff were helpful about the vegan option andquite pleasant, plus the atmosphere is great. The food is on the pricier side of what I am used to, but not extravagant. WishI'd had more time to enjoy! Read more
