Yum… We had such a lovely experience at Banana Leaf on Broadway! We opted for their 10-course tasting menu ($65 per person), and it was worth every penny. Each dish was vibrant, flavourful, and beautifully plated — from the savoury curries and stir-fried veggies to the perfectly cooked rice and the stunning mango sticky rice dessert. You can really taste the love and authenticity in the food.
Service was another highlight …. warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. The staff made us feel welcome and checked in often without being intrusive.
The price point isn’t cheap, but it’s absolutely fair for the quality and variety you get. This is a great spot if you’re looking for a memorable dining experience with bold Malaysian flavours.
Our only minor downside was the construction happening outside, which made parking and access a little tricky. But once inside, it was cozy and inviting …..and the food quickly made us forget about the hassle.
Highly recommend for groups, special dinners, or anyone wanting to explore Southeast Asian cuisine in Vancouver! Yum!!

We had a pleasant dining experience in Banana Leaf the other day! We also have Banana Leaf at home so I'm glad to see this restaurant here too. We ordered their classic Hainanese Chicken, Beef Satay, and Eggplant Fries, and they were so good! Will be back to try their Sticky Mango next!

Ordered online for Mother’s Day. Food was ready at the time requested. Friendly service. Actually, exceptional service. It was our last Mother’s Day dinner with a loved one. She wanted the fried Hokkien mee. It was no longer on their menu but I called and they said they could do it. I just needed to add a note in my online order. They also changed the green beans dish to a non spicy version with garlic. It was another request by our terminally ill relative. Thank you for accommodating our requests. You made our final meal with her possible. The food was delicious and everyone really enjoyed it. We would love to dine in if we ever get the chance since take out is always not quite as good as dining in.

Food is good. The interior decor is very fancy and heavenly for a plant lover. The staff is very kind and attentive.
Eggplant fries and mango sticky rice dessert were my favourite.

First time dining at Banana Leaf and the food didn’t disappoint! Had the curry chicken & vegetables with the hainan ginger garlic rice.
Food was tasty and flavourful, and the service was friendly. Also tasted a bit of the assam curry tofu & vegetables and jasmine rice- I found the tofu and curry in particular pretty delicious!
The ambience is lovely and the decor is tasteful with an outdoorsy, nature feel. Strongly recommend.
