The Banana Leaf

We are in town for RetroWorld expo at the Hartford convention center in Hartford Connecticut. We have been on a kick for the Asian food in the area and this one did not disappoint. We all ordered something different from the fried rice to the sweet and sour chicken or the pho. Everything was looks good and delicious. Pictures were just right with a good mix of protein. We ended up getting after dinner drinks which would have been the Thai tea and the Thai coffee but I didn't take any pictures cuz we drank them too fast. The melon boba tea was pretty good as well. We ended up closing down the shop and meth when we got the ticket we couldn't believe how cheap it was. If you want to have some good Asian food, definitely stop at this location.

3rd time going-once again FANTASTIC. Had TomYum coconut soup w/ shrimp, Miso soup, vegetable egg rolls, curry puffs, crab Rangoon, and Larb Gai w/ pork. Finished off with jasmine tea. All of it was deLICious. Fresh tasting even in Winter, and the flavor profiles ranged from light and delicate, to deep and complex, to strong and exciting. Service was friendly, quick, and helpful. It's a small place, and not decorated in a modern, elegant style-but who cares? It's clean, it's airy, and the food is awesome. Want so great Thai? EAT HERE!!!

The food was wonderful and the inside was clean and welcoming. The staff were also very kind. I would definitely come again if in the area.

I should have known from the filthy men's room that this place was not going to be great. We had a six person table, reservations at 6:00pm. We ordered the Pho Brisket, Chicken egg rolls, curry puffs, Pad See Ew, Panang Chicken, and Yellow Curry. The fried chicken rolls were pretty decent. But the rest was very problematic. There were a ton of raisins in the curry puffs. The number 2 spice level and the number 3 spice level might as well have been both level 5. One of the servers tried to make the number 2 spicey dish more mild for my MIL, but it didn't really work. The chicken in the Panang chicken was tough and the giant zucchini pieces in the dish were not very palatable. The Pad See Ew came out cold but it tasted good at least. The Banana Leaf offers lots of Pho options so I was ver

Came here for lunch at the recommendation of a friend. We came at an off time and were the only customers at the restaurant. I ordered pork ramen noodles, the food was decent, served hot. The pork was very fatty with not much meat on it. I confirmed it was not pork belly. My mother ordered pad thai. It had a very fishy taste and smell to it making it unappealing to eat. We brought it to the waitresses attention and she said that there was no fish sauce used in it despite us both tasting a very apparent fishy taste. She had the kitchen remake it, gluten free style, which meant no sauces used. It was better the second time around. And “as a courtesy” did not charge us for the second dish – as it should’ve been. The waitresses had a change of shift during our time dining. The second waitress
