Haven't been to this Banana Leaf for several years but glad we did. The place was extreme busy but was able to get out food relatively quick. They messed up the vegan vegetables dish we requested as you can smell the intense fish sauce. The waitress Herwen was so kind and very apologetic and had it remade very fast.
Look forward to come again!!!

Awesome place to go for lunch and dinner. We always get the course meals so we can have a variety of food. Don’t expect that it’s for one serving each specially on the minimum of 2 person course meal. Mind you it’s actually good enough if you wait for all the food to come out. We recommend this restaurant and their other locations too. I do prefer going to the one near Kitsilano.
Food is great service is awesome. Parking is based on luck in this location though.

Lunch with my coworker from out of town, his first Malaysian food experience.
Food was good as always at Banana leaf, love their Mee Gorang, the green beans were good too.
Service was very good. Friendly staff. Even though they forgot one of our new gorang, I guess we eat lots lol
Decor is still looking new, well maintained.
200% going back to Banana leaf.

A place I have been coming since I was a kid (now in my 30s!), that is as delicious as it is nostalgic. Today, I live in australia but on my way through vancouver on a 10h layover, the only thing on my mind was coming here for lunch. Get the roti, chicken skewers, green beans and ginger fish. None will disappoint. So grateful the menu here has remained the same and consistently delicious for so long 💕

Update (1/21/25) I came here a 2nd time and it still did not disappoint. My favourite activity here is to still use the sauce from the mussels for absolutely everything. I have also added more photos from my 2nd visit.
First Visit to this specific location (around September-October 2025)
I visited here with the knowledge of tasting the Banana Leaf in Kitsilano and visited here in a time where there weren’t too many people at noon. Both places are very similar in taste and I rate them both fairly equally (both taste really good) but this place has a better atmosphere and better tasting deserts.
As for a general perspective, this place serves amazing Malaysian cuisine with really bold flavours.
