Banana Leaf Thai:East Brisbane — Restaurant in Brisbane City

Do NOT waste time here! Sadly, I can NOT recommend it based on the extremely rude service of just 1 person, Mook! On my first visit I found her to be rude & abrupt which is unfortunate as Mook welcomes guests, but just works here so has NO right to be so rude as she has been now both visits. I’ve recently relocated home to beautiful Brisie choosing Kangaroo Point as home. Working in a busy National Role with much travel & time with people, which I love, but on occasions I love to relax with solo time & a beautiful meal. I mostly cook at home. The food here is great! But as a business coach of many years, I can say 💯 if the service is NOT great, it matters NOT how good the food is or the chef! It’s service! Just 1 person with a poor attitude can & will destroy your business & reputation! I was very polite again tonight with Mook who was mopping floors again as I popped in a little early on my way to choose a nice wine & wanted to advise I’d be a little later.. Mook was verbally protesting as I walked to the door not intending at all to walk in. I knew at that moment I should NOT return again but I again gave the benefit of doubt. When I did return I was the only guest but Mook instructed someone new to seat me. There was certainly NOT a warm welcome from Mook as per my last visit, the same. I had intended again to the Crab Fried Rice to take home which I had told Mook. But soon after my meal arrived & as the small space was becoming busy, I’d been there for just over half hour at this stage. I was thoroughly enjoying my meal, when Mook approached me in the midst of my meal asking if I wanted my takeaway ready! I was shocked! At the time I was relaxing & I was thoroughly enjoying my meal! With clearly Mook wanting me to leave ASAP & to vacate my table! That was it for me! I was totally 💯 done! I so needed to leave! I will NEVER return & do...

Have eaten at lots of Thai restaurants over the years. Have been to this one twice,and both times we thoroughly enjoyed the meal.The meat was very tender both times and the taste just right. The portion could have been a little more generous as the price was a touch above average but this place comes highly recommended. Can see why the reviews are so positive.

UPDATE....I previously gave this eatery 5 stars as the food was terrific( see above)on 3 separate occasions.However, recently we ordered some takeaway and for the price we paid the food was VERY mediocre and most disappointing to say the least.Hardly any meat in the pack and mainly veges . Who wants to pay top dollar for 95%+ veges in a meat dish!? Stop being stingy and give people some value for money.Therefore, I have reduced the rating to 3 stars which is generous considering the disappointment of this below average fare! Have the chefs changed?? Haven't gone back since and most...

It is one of the best Thai restaurants in Brisbane. Food here is healthy. We tried Tom Yum soup, chicken cashew nuts, beef massaman curry, green curry, and fried rice. Tom Yum soup included only two prawns with little pieces of Mushrooms. It will be good if they add more veggies. I told the chef about that, and he was kind and generous because he told me to remind him next visit to add more vegetables. Beef massaman curry was super yummy! Chicken cashew nut was also delicious.

For the green curry and fried rice, it was about one year ago. So, I forgot the taste. I think it was good because you decided to come again.

The chef is clever and he serves healthy and tasty meals.

The atmosphere and service were good.

We would love to come again to try other food options.

I highly recommend visiting this...
