    Yellow Curry Noodle
    Chee Keat F.

    As some others have commented, we were surprised that we didn't discover this place sooner. The interior is nothing fancy - looks like something from the 90's. We tried the Pad Thai, Yellow Curry Noodles and House Fried Rice. You can pick your protein type and spiciness levels (1-5) for the noodle dishes. All the dishes had large portions and were delicious. We got a lot for what we paid. We would rate the Pad Thai and Fried Rice higher than the Yellow Curry Noodles. Notably, the fried rice has what the Chinese calls "Wok Hei", an elusive sought-after smoky flavor that is missing from this dish in most Asian American restaurants. One thing that caught us by surprise - we ordered spiciness level of 1 for the fried rice, but it still tasted unusually spicy - enough to make me sweat (and I know and love spicy food). Maybe it was an error - we're not sure. We have tried many other Thai restaurants in the area, but I think we've just found our new favorite!

    One meal, but enough for 2.

    BYOB, friendly service, good food, fast kitchen. Carry-out or dine in, it is a medium sized family restaurant. Highly recommended.

    Thai Beef Jerky - this is fantastic.
    David B.

    The food is great flavorful to the max. The spice on high so go for mild, as medium is lip tingling heat. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and ready to recommend. The soups are on point and delicious, the apps are filling and perfect for two or four. We had several apps and soup, leaving with a ton of take home yumminess.

    Yellow Curry Oxtail
    YuJun L.

    Bananas Thai is pretty authentic Thai food. All the foods we got were generally flavorful and I enjoyed everything for the most part. We got yellow curry oxtail, papaya salad, pad krapow, crab and shrimp fried rice, and tiger cry. The only thing disappointing was the tiger cry which was super chewy and not flavorful at all. The humans cried instead Crab and shrimp fried rice was delicious and definitely my favorite. Papaya salad was my second favorite. Mild was not spicy at all so I'd go medium spicy if you can handle. Like I said overall delicious and perfectly seasoned flavors.

    Chicken Massaman Curry
    Mike N.

    I was craving Thai food and Bananas Thai popped up. Located on 529 and highway six right next to the 24 Hr Fitness. I came on a Monday around 7:15. The restaurant was fairly big. There were two tables of 4. On the left there was this little cute house with a straw roof as decoration. The tables were spread out with the middle divider used as booth seating for both the left and right sides. I was greeted with a super friendly Hi!! From all the way back from the cashier. The waitress came over asked me what I wanted to drink. I looked over the menu and decided to get chicken pad Thai and curry massaman. When the food came out, I was pleasantly surprised! The portions are hefty! I think these entrees are meant for sharing. There was no way I was finishing both items. 4/5 The pad Thai was tangy and sweet. Noodles were soft. Peanuts were extra crispy! The bean sprouts gave a nice crunch. 4/5 Chicken curry Massaman The curry came out in a deep decent sized bowl on a plate with rice shaped in a heart. There were carrots, potatoes, chicken and whole peanuts. The curry was rich, creamy and salty. Too salty to eat alone but it is meant to be paired with rice. Gina, did a wonderful job serving with a smile on her face even though I came in close to closing time. Tip her well people! Support your local small business Thai restaurant!

    Triple Flavor Fish
    Heather P.

    Bananas Thai is our all time favorite, go-to Thai restaurant! Their food is very authentic, unique flares, and everything we ordered was delicious!!! We ordered the Triple Flavor Fish (pictured)-10/10, Tofu Pad Thai (pictured)-10/10, Thai Toast- 10/10, and Papaya Salad-8/10. Thai toast was such an impressive appetizer, something we have never tried before, but it was so crispy and flavorful! Their Pad Thai is the best I've ever had! My fiancé and I absolutely loved the Triple Flavor Fish also, presentation was just as amazing as it tasted! We ordered all this awesome food thanks to their exceptional owner, Chris, who recommended some favorites! Chris and his family/team were so attentive, patient, passionate, and personable! Their music also had us jammin' over dinner. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience, thank you so much! If you are ever in the area, Bananas Thai is a MUST!!

    Papaya Salad
    Kylena P.

    Was on the look out for some authentic Thai in the neighborhood and happened upon this restaurant and we are glad we did! Eatery has a cafe vibe, the waitress was really sweet and helpful, even the owner came out of the kitchen to talk with us, just really down to Earth. The food was well worth the trip. The papaya salad was sharp spicy with just enough fish flavor. Beef jerky with sticky rice with jeow sauce was perfect, one of my favorite appetizers now. This was my first time trying a catfish dish, maybe won't be my go to but I did enjoy the eggplant in it. Shumai was just right. The pork in yellow curry was just as expected. Finishing everything off we had mango and sticky sweet rice, perfect semi sweet, the warm rice was very flavorful, the slices of mango were so fresh. The perfect non encumbering dessert. We also had a Thai Iced Coffee not pictured because my husband drank half before I could get a picture Will definitely be returning! This place is a must go for authentic Thai food!

    I don't give out many 5 stars but this quaint little but comfortable place was absolutely phenomenal. I had the Lo Mein with chicken and tofu for the protein. Heat levels are 1 to 4 and ordered 3 as some places the heat is different but 3 was nice, hot but bearable. My business associate had number 1 (mild) fried rice with chicken. Plenty of meat added to each meal and cooked perfectly so I can tell they care about their quality and the staff is very friendly and know when to check on you, not to much but just enough at the perfect time as they pay attention unlike most places. Served free cup of perfect Tom Um soup to start and brought complimentary bite sized desert at the end. You can get hotter if asked for on the heat as well. A go to Thai place for sure. Very impressed

    Jasmine Green Tea
    Toan N.

    Setting: Needs improvement/nothing fancy Food ordered: Thai Tea with soy milk - ran out of milk so they had to use soy milk; didn't taste bad at all; recommend trying. Jasmine green tea - Too sweet; stay away if you are diabetic. Pad Thai combination - beef and chicken; sauce was good but super salty! Pad see you combination - shrimp, chicken, beef; sauce was good; real Chinese broccoli was used; again super salty! Be cautious if you are high blood pressure. Overall: Food was decent but chef got too friendly with the salt. Service: Friendly.

    We came across this hidden gem in a big shopping center by coincidence and honestly I'm so glad we did. From the moment that we walked in we were greeted with a smile from Kris. He brought us water and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. We decided to order 2 appetizers, 2 meals and the Thai iced tea. Thai Iced Tea: This traditional Ceylon tea was surprisingly on point with its taste. You can expect to find your typical earthy notes, nutty undertones, and a kick of sweetness but not overpowering. After speaking with Kris about how delicious it was, he was very proud to inform us that this drink has been a trial and error effort to find the perfect balance of sweetness. He has mastered it. Soft Rolls (Shrimp) - Think Vietnamese spring rolls style with a bit of a twist. The combination of the soft rice paper filled with the vermicelli noodles, fresh lettuce, crisp shredded carrots, sliced cucumber and a bit of cilantro made this appetizer a fresh start. The semi thick hoisin sauce with crushed peanuts complemented the rolls perfectly. Appetizer platter - Comes with Spicy Cheese Rolls (4), Crispy Rolls (4), Veggie Dumplings (4), Triangle Tofu (4) : The spicy cheese rolls were very tasty, It's like a cream cheese stick egg roll style of an appetizer, the filling is a slightly spicy cream cheese and what seem to be shredded cheddar mixture that alone tasted delicious, and elevated with the paired sweet-and-sour sauce. Crispy rolls were just your typical veggie eggrolls with really good flavor and that crunch effect you would expect. Now, the next 2 we're a surprise to my taste buds. I'm very used to regular dumplings but I've never had a veggie dumpling. To say I was surprised on not only the texture but the taste of the filling is an understatement. The filling is really good and although purely veggie, had a very savory taste to it. Triangle tofu, something I normally would not order but very glad it was part of this platter. Tofu in the shape of a triangle deep fried and served with sweet-and-sour sauce topped with peanuts.. the sauce and peanut mixture on top made this a very unique and enjoyable appetizer. Panang Curry with Chicken- Bell peppers, carrots, peas, potato and panang curry paste in coconut milk. The Panang curry has a sweet, yet semi salty, thick nutty flavor. I ordered medium spice because I don't handle spicy food as well. This was right on the spicy level. The chicken was moist, the potatoes were cooked perfectly to a semi-al dente texture and the mixture of the white rice with the panang curry was a perfect balance. Next time I will actually order it mild spice. Pad Thai with Chicken- Stir fried thin rice noodle with red & green onions, radish, bean sprouts, and egg in their special triple flavors sauce. Serve with side of ground peanuts. My husband ordered his hot spicy (this was their third level on the heat scale). I was only able to take one bite to try it because I really don't do spicy. The secret to the best Pad Thai is the sauce, and through my one bite I experienced the perfect balance of Salty, sweet, and sour nutty fusion of a great pad Thai dish.My husband said one word to describe it " Delicious". We were able to inquire a bit about the family and food. Momma Chef Kay is the mastermind in the kitchen while her son and daughter tend to the customers. We really felt the love and dedication that they put into their business and am so glad to have had the opportunity to enjoy their cuisine from the heart. We are looking to return to try the coconut water, (enjoy another Thai Iced tea) the Angel Wings, Papaya Salad, pineapple fried rice and the mango with sweet sticky rice. Definitely must put this family owned business on your next food outing!

    Dinner!

    Came because the Yelp reviews but I can't say I was blown away and will be back any time soon…read more Walked in on a Saturday night, the place wasn't crowded and we got seated quickly. We were asked about our drinks, ordered them and a dozen raw oysters. Server came back and took our order. Got the snow crabs with potato and sausage with the house seasoning that the server recommended. Also got 2 pounds of shrimp (paid extra for heads off) and the server made it seem like the heat level on the hottest was ghost pepper, next level up being habanero and then hot. Asked if we could sample the sauce and told no as they make each one individually. Being weary of blowing our tongues out we opted for less heat. Oysters came and they were a decent size. I had to ask for some crackers & horse radish, which what was brought to me was way more than one person would ever consume (no charge). Food came and I'm waiting on a bucket to toss my shells in. Finally had to ask and I was told that most people just put it on the table hence the tables being covered. The sauce on my crab was WAY too sweet. The heat level was too mild and the crab itself was hard to get out the shell. I asked for some melted butter and was told I would be charged for it. Overall I left still wanting more which isn't my usual. However I can say been there done that.

Getting to the location was quite easy, parking was super easy as well, it is in a small shopping center. As I went inside, I could smell the food, and I knew it was going to be good. I was greeted by a younger guy who handed me the menu, but fortunately, I already knew what I wanted! Which was one of everything! But, I was solo on this day, so I had to have some restraint! I chose to go with the catfish basket, with 2 filets, fries (cajun), a side of mac and cheese, and a side of their specialty sauce that comes with crawfish! I had an appointment I was going to next, and I didn't think about how long it would take, but fortunately, it didn't take long at all. They drop the food to cook after you order, which I love!!! The catfish and fries were piping hot when they came out. Seasoned just perfectly for my taste! I'm glad I went with the two, so that I could take the other one home for later!!! I don't know how they season the fish, but keep doing what you're doing! I got the mac and cheese, it looked super good. It was cheesy and had the cheese pull that we all know and love. It wasn't my most favorite dish, it was missing a little something. BUT!!! When I added the side sauce with the crawfish in it, it became my favorite! Something about that combo just works! I believe it's the sauce they use in one of their pastas, but don't quote me on that! The sauce I used as a dip for everything, fries, mac and catfish. It is worth getting! All in all, loved everything about this place. It reminds me a little of some of the places I used to go to growing up in Memphis.
