    Wonderful Malaysian restaurant that serves everything family style so a great option for groups. They have a very extensive menu with tons of authentic Malaysian dishes. Everything was delicious and portioned to share for 3-6 people. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have both indoor and outdoor seating with very friendly and helpful staff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They get quite busy even on weekday evenings.

    Roti Prata
    Uni C.

    Great flavors overall with comforting Malaysian-inspired dishes Had a meal at Banana Leaf Restaurant and tried the roti prata, noodles, curry, and pandan panna cotta. The roti prata was definitely one of my favorites and perfect for dipping into the curry. The curry itself was rich, flavorful, and comforting without being overly heavy. The noodles were also satisfying with a nice balance of savory flavors and good texture. For dessert, I tried the pandan panna cotta. The presentation was nice, but personally it wasn't my favorite compared to the savory dishes. The pandan flavor was lighter than I expected, though it was still creamy and refreshing. Service was friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is casual and lively, making it a great spot for sharing multiple dishes with friends or family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, a really enjoyable meal with standout savory items I'd come back for the roti prata and curry again.

    Everything was good. We made reservations for a party of 7. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had lots of large tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Make sure you have a reservation as it does get packed here. The cumin tofu was my favorite, unique dish. So flavorful! It contained green beans that was nice and crunchy. Paired well with white rice:

    I use to eat at Banana Leaf a lot back in the day when I use to live in San Jose. It's been awhile since I last ate there. We happen to be in the area and we were hungry. We decided to come back to Banana Leaf and check it out. We arrived to Banana Leaf on a Friday night for dinner. The Malaysian/Thai restaurant is located at the McCarthy Ranch in Milpitas. Plenty of parking is accessible in the large parking lot out front. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Malaysian modern decor still looked similar to when I was last there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a bustling and lively Friday night atmosphere. Plenty of tables were packed and the bar was half surrounded with patrons in their bar stools[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. We ended up waiting about 20 minutes for our table. We ordered Roti Prata, Mango Chicken, Seafood Pad Thai, steam rice, a glass of Chardonnay, and a deep fried banana à la mode. Everything was delicious and authentic. Two of my old favorite dishes there, the Roti Prata and the Pad Thai were just as tasty like I last remembered. The sweet curry sauce and the fluffy Roti Prata went perfect together. Every bite is scrumptious. The Pad Thai were flavorful. Prawns and calamari in the Pad Thai were tender and plentiful. The Mango Chicken was rich and sweet. Finally the deep fried banana was delectable and went very well with the vanilla ice cream. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Banana Leaf. The staff were friendly and accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe was family friendly and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am not sure when I will be back but it was nice to return for some nostalgia.

    3.5/5 stars! Came here with a group of people to share family style so let's get into the foods I think is worth getting to share. Also I've noticed the spice levels here were pretty mild compared to other Thai/asian restaurants 8/10 pineapple fried rice; this was pretty good! We got the regular one and the spicy one, the spicy one wasn't that spicy, but the flavor profile was good overall 8/10 pad see ew, can't go wrong with this, had lots of veggies and a reasonable amount of protein ish, but I think this might have been my favorite dish out of all the ones I've tried 7.5/10 Satay Chicken, this was not bad, chicken was juicy and the sauce paired well with it, enjoyable skewer! 6/10 pad Thai, this was too sweet for my liking and the noodles were a bit overcooked, so they were a bit mushy 6/10 Black Pepper Chicken, never had this before but the black pepper sauce was a bit sticky for my liking, so didn't really eat too much of this 6/10 papaya salad, the papaya was cut too thick and long, the flavor and seasoning was lacking 6/10 mango black sticky rice, I will say the mango was juicy and sweet, I was just a little thrown off with the black rice, it wasn't sticky but it was more grainy

    Malay Sizzling Beef 鐵牛

    I've been searching for a good Malaysian Singaporean restaurant and I'm so glad to have stumbled upon Banana Leaf! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This restaurant seems to be well-loved by the community for years, and it still seems that way as it was packed on a weekday dinner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant falls somewhere in the middle of casual and upscale.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The portions here are huge and they have an extensive menu, so it's best to order family style. Huge plus for them having an extensive vegetarian menu as well! We ordered Roti Prata, Chicken Curry Laksa Mee, and Malay Sizzling Beef. Bold flavors! We mainly came here for the laksa, but we were impressed from everything we ordered. The roti was flakey and was nearly ordered at every table. The laksa had a rich and flavorful broth, though I wish it was spicier. The sizzling beef was peppery and delicious. Since the beef dish was saucy, we ordered rice on the side to balance its strong flavors. I'd come back and order these dishes again and definitely try other dishes!

    Banana Leaf is well loved in the family as we've been coming here for years. Safe to say, the food is just as good as we remembered and it is still a bumping spot! It gets really busy especially for dinner, so plan ahead to get on the Yelp waitlist or call in, but note they sometimes will close the phone waitlist. RECS: + Roti prata ($5.25) is a must, so light and flakey with a delicious curry + Pineapple fried rice ($18.25) is so well seasoned, it's been my personal favorite since I was a kid! + Singaporean black pepper prawns ($20.95) are so rich in flavor from the sauce, with plump prawns + Hainan chicken with rice ($17.25) is poached to perfection, paired with wonderful sauces and turmeric rice + Belachan kang kung ($18.50) is delicious! + Mango sticky rice ($12) is our favorite dessert item here, all the right textures and flavors

    Nasi lemak
    Kristina K.

    Lunch with my mini me and my sister after a fun morning of mulberry picking in Brentwood. Although the posted opening time was 11:30, they actually opened closer to 11:45, so we decided to wait. A few other customers were arriving and waiting as well. We ordered two nasi lemak dishes and one seafood kwetiau goreng. The kwetiau came out first, and we assumed the nasi lemak would follow shortly, so we started eating. Even after we finished the kwetiau, we still had to wait a bit longer for the nasi lemak to arrive. That said, the food was delicious and full of flavor. The portions were on the smaller side, which felt pretty typical for an authentic Asian restaurant. The staff were attentive even though we were seated outside, which I appreciated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself has a very casual and family friendly atmosphere, and most of the customers seemed to be dining in groups with family.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I especially enjoyed the kwetiau goreng and would definitely come back for that dish again.

    Beef banana leaf rice
    Sho R.

    I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. I had a reservation, so got a seat in 10 minutes. Everything I had from here was flavorful. Beef banana leaf rice was my favorite item. It had beef rendang, sambal and peanuts which were all very flavorful. Singapore black pepper beef packed a ton of flavor as well. Roti murtabak another excellent item. I am sure other items in the menu will taste good too. I should return to try more stuff.

    Veggie Pineapple Fried Rice 素菠炒飯
    Tannu S.

    Good food, uber quick service and casual indoor arrangement. The servers are attentive and responsive. The food is close to Malay cuisine and flavorful. I would go back especially for a quick meal at those lunch hours. At the same time, the menu is elaborate that you might want to visit with time in hand to try a few items at a go. Overall, a good place to visit to enjoy Malaysian cuisine.

    Pad See Ew (Seafood)
    Agnes Y.

    Haven't been to Banana Leaf for many years and decided to come because I was craving their Roti Prata! Came for lunch right when they opened at 11:30am because I knew they could get really busy. Decor is pretty basic but warm; the booth we got was very comfortable. Service was very attentive and prompt. My friend and I ordered a Roti Prata and a Combination Satay (beef and chicken thigh) as appetizers; Nyonya Shaking Beef, a bowl of Coconut Rice, and Pad See Ew as main course; and then Black Sticky Rice with Mangoes for dessert. Their Roti Prata was excellent as usual, the curry sauce went perfectly well with the warm, fluffy, and crispy bread. The beef and chicken skewers in the satay were tender and juicy and perfectly grilled. Both entrees were really delectable and flavorful. Black Sticky Rice with Mangoes was a great conclusion to the meal. It was a delicious meal and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food. Highly recommended!

    White sangria
    Nareena V.

    We were originally going to eat at Shabuya but the wait was too long so we came here and I'm glad we did! We had a table of 8. Since they were so busy, they told us we only had an eating time of 1.5 hours which was fine by us. Our server came to us promptly to get started. All of the food came out pretty quickly. We started off with the roti prata and it was good! The roti was very flaky, I wish it was a bit thicker. Their coconut soup was delicious. The tom yum was very spicy and lacked depth. Their pad Thai and mi goreng noodles were the stars. The pineapple fried rice was terrible - super mushy and didn't taste like normal fried rice. Apparently it usually comes in an actual pineapple but it seems they ran out. The green curry was good, a bit spicy. The basil shrimp was also great. We ordered the eggplant and that didn't come out, but glad it didn't because we had too much food. The drinks were also okay - nothing outstanding. The white sangria was fruity but not strong at all. We told our waiter we were celebrating a birthday and he brought out a free cake slice with a candle, super sweet! Overall, the service was a stand out. The workers are amazing. Food comes out hot and fast, but some dish's are definitely lacking.

    Roti Prata
    Prem D.

    After long time we are here. Well crowded for a weekday dinner. Orderd Roti Prata fresh made and great tasting side. All the dishes we asked for extra spicy. Galangal soup was good, just that they had too many big chunks of vegetables particularly tomatoes contributing to the volume and they had added green thai chilli. Petfect except the quantity was less for even 3 people even though we ordered large and suppose to be for 4 people. Mee Goreng was tasty but did not get the extra spice it also had less quantity. Sizzling veggies were hot but not spicy nor did the flavor of pepper came through, but tasty though decent quantity but still less when compared to other places. Coconut rice ordered did not have any of the flavor coming through. Interior was dim and congested. Overall pricey, less food, but taste good.

Perhaps it's because of the rush of orders and addition of items I assume are not usually on their menu, things were a bit chaotic. Multiple people ordered multiple dishes and the kitchen was getting some orders confused (eg calling out an order # multiple times even though that customer had been served already). I will only review the 3 dishes my family got. Perhaps the Nasi Padang combos are better here (I see this is most commonly reviewed and popular), but sadly, they had already ran out of the Ikan Masak Lemak thirty mins after opening. Nyonya Laksa (2/5) @ $18 -- The soup was too watery and there wasn't enough of a coconut taste to it. The chili helped a little once mixed in, but there was still something missing from the soup. Mee Rebus (3/5) @ $18 -- The sauce was flavorful and slightly sweet. However, the sauce was poured on top of the tempura shrimp so I had soggy tempura. A little nit: I had to stir the noodles to make sure all noodles were coated. Hainan Chicken Rice @ $17 -- I didn't try much of this but the rice was fragrant as expected and had that chicken essence taste. Also ordered a milk tea (strong and standard) and a milo (which came in a can, I thought this would be made in house but I was wrong). This store is a stall inside a larger food court, so seating is limited. There is a public bathroom. Service was nice -- they asked if we were eating there and served us. All plates/cutlery is disposable so it's easy to pack up if you don't finish there.

    Came here for my birthday meal since I've been wanting to try it all year and here are my thoughts…read more FOOD: Dungeness Chili Crab (10000/10): This dish was a ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, one of the BEST food I've ever tasted. The crab was tender, coated in a rich, glossy chili sauce that perfectly balanced sweet, tangy, savory, and spicy flavors. It paired beautifully with a side of rice. I'm already drooling just thinking about it and would 100% order it again in a heartbeat! Char Kway Teow (10/10): Amazing stir fried noodles. The flat rice noodles had a smoky, slightly charred flavor and were tossed with savory Chinese sausage, tender shrimp, egg, bean sprouts, and garlic chives. The dish offered a satisfying blend of sweet, salty, and umami flavors. It was comforting, flavorful, and wonderfully satisfying without feeling too heavy or oily. Singaporean laksa (10/10): This dish was similar to a Vietnamese curry with a fragrant, coconut-rich broth that delivered a balance of savory, spicy, and subtly sweet flavors. The rendang chicken was super tender, the yellow noodles were soft and soaked in flavors. It was the kind of dish that made it hard to put the spoon down. SERVICE: Staff was super nice and accommodating. Even gave me a free side of rice and deserts to go since I really enjoyed their chili crab sauce. AMBIANCE: The place was very clean and feels very homy. They also offer free chicken soup for you to sip on while you wait for all the tasty foods to come.

I walked around, was finally able to get a waitress who was willing to talk to me. I explained that I didn't know they only took cash and I wonder if I can pay through other ways. She pointed at the wall and told me "it says on the wall", sounding like blaming me for not getting cash ready. Yes, maybe I should have read all the signs on the wall, but I really don't enjoy being blamed when I did nothing wrong. Assuming credit cards as one of the payment methods is not my fault, just how the society works. Anyway, I was able to pay them via Venmo, but I did not enjoy the experience at all.
