While on Adventure through Europe, I ended up in Barcelona. I was craving something different. My…read morewife stumbled across this place while we were walking by earlier in the day and decided to come back for dinner. I'm glad we came back. Yes it is a small "Hole in the wall" place. But don't let that deter you. Service was great, the people who own the place speak Spanish and English ! The food was amazing. It was probably the best Pad thai I've ever had. I'm from Los Angeles so we have hundred of Thai places and I was shocked at how great it was. The menu is limited, but everything we had tasted great. If you're ever craving Thai food near La Sagrada Familia, I suggest giving this place a try.

3.5 stars For…read morestarters, the ambience here is amazing. Definitely a large open space with some more private rooms as well if you are reserving with a group for a special occasion. All of us got the Classic Menu set where they served us a selection of appetizers, entrées and desserts for £40 per person. This is definitely a more pricey meal but you get to try a bunch of different dishes. The appetizers were amazing. There were spring rolls, meatballs, skewers, noodles, etc and everything was delicious. The main courses were a bit disappointing as the flavors were not as good/some of the dishes were a bit on the lukewarm side. The curries were pretty much the only main dishes I liked from the selection provided. Finally, we finished with dessert, which comes with pineapple and those were really good. Overall, the experience was decent, though I do think the restaurant should focus a bit more on making the main dishes more flavorful/authentic. Other than that, it was great!

Chicken satay was nice & moist with a little bit of charring and of course there was the standard peanut dipping sauce. Four small skewers but nice little appetizer. Green papaya salad had all the usual suspects so it was pretty legit. Could have been a little spicier with more garlic, but I at it all up. Nice and refreshing. Pad thai and green curry were both good.. Didn't knock my socks off but it hit the right spot. Prices weren't outrageous but a bit on the pricier side for what you get. The portions are enough for one person so don't expect to take home leftovers. I'd add an extra star if they had the usual condiments. I would have loved to add some pickled jalapenos and hot sauce.

It's a really nice restaurant, service is great. Food was really really good. My husband and I got the tom kha soup which was great. We ordered the pad see eww chicken and beef Penang curry. However, for some reason, they brought the curry without rice and we waited for a good 10-15 minutes and when we asked, they said oh they're making more rice. By the time they made the rice, we were already full. It would have been better to wait to bring the Penang curry stew and rice together. We didn't end up eating the stew however I would return here and dollar food was really good.

Needed some veggies and really missing Asian food traveling in Spain (there's only so much bread,…read moremeat, & patata bravas I can eat) Also mending an ill stomach, I was excited to find this restaurant close to La Sagrada Familia. Turns out the owner is Cantonese-Chinese (possibly by way of Vietnam?), he wasn't entirely talkative, but this explains is culinary attention to flavor and quality of ingredients (knowing Cantonese techniques - but this actually explains how the actual food is- more about that below). Most of his extremely nice waitstaff were Nepali. Everyone communicated very well in Spanish & English. They seemed to have a lot of regular customers, some even hugging the who I assumed was the General Manager. I was craving a refreshing cold noodle salad and crunchy vegetables, the €9.50 Bun Bo Xao sounded great. It had rice noodles, lettuce, cucumber, fresh mint, topped with fried onions & peanut. I ordered the beef version. A small Vegetable triangle Spring Roll was complimentary at the beginning of the meal. The bowl was generously filled with all the fresh ingredients. What's different than how I've had this dish in NYC and LA (& I assume dishes are tweaked for the Spanish palette and style here), was that the lemongrass beef was stir-fried with a light gravy sauce (and not grilled and dry/nom-sauce), and the noodles were warm and tossed in the sauce also. The noodles were Mei Fun (rice vermicelli) and not the round spaghetti-like noodles that's usually used for the dish. There's usually Nuoc Cham sauce that comes with this dish, which you pour the "Nuoc Cham dressing" over everything & toss. However, since the noodles were already covered in the gravy sauce from the beef (with a pool at the bottom), it wouldn't have made sense anyway. Overall I was super happy to have noodles and food that tasted good. I saw a lot of tables order the same sauteed Lemongrass beef as a side dish. So- HOW do I know that this more Chinese than Vietnamese? The gravy-like sauces for the meats (& not primarily grilled meats and seafood), No typical condiments and ingredients like Nuoc Cham, pickled carrots & daikon, Siracha, Hoisin Sauce, & garlic chili set out at the table to customize the Pho. And no typical Vietnamese noodles (sounds like the other reviews about the Pho). I wonder if they have Vietnamese coffee...they can do Flan! A good bridge for cultures. Overall they have to cater to a predominantly Spanish Clientele to survive - basically ALL of the tables were eating Fried Rice (which looked like fast-food style, and a dish I actually haven't seen much at Vietnamese Restaurants). The restaurant is decorated very beautifully- BUT all of the ceiling tile work, wooden bar carvings of dragons- are decorations for a Chinese Restaurant (speaking from family experience business!). Overall, it's 4 stars & a decent experience for me- being what it is. I would come lowering your expectations- it's more like Chinese-light leaning Vietnamese Food. The staff did say that the owner is very secretive about his Pho recipe (I really hope that it's not from a boullion & spice powder mix). Will have to try it the next time I visit I guess - BUT knowing that they don't give you a plate of fresh bean sprouts, Thai basil, lime wedge, possibly some jalepenos - then I probably won't like my Pho (light & safe) experience.. & I get it, How do you train customers to prepare a bowl of Pho at their tables, without high overhead costs? Too much of a learning & communication curve. But good luck to them, good to have options in that neighborhood & Barcelona in general. Ran into some of the workers on their 3hr break later and they kindly showed me to the Metro. I want to note the Spanish translation of cucumber is so interesting - "papaya green."

Everything has always been flavorful but, as is the case with most Asian places in Europe, never lives up to Thai places I love back in the US (DC area, Tampa area). Positives: Great value and portions for lunch. Located in a nice bustling square with pleasant terrace seating year round. Interior is nicely decorated. Lunch offerings are constantly changing. One of the few Thai places in Barcelona that offer papaya salad. Personally, I loved their Tod Man Muu (crispy pork fritters), Tohm Kha (coconut milk soup), Nemcuon (fresh summer rolls), and their Panang curry. Keep in mind that honestly nothing is spicy, but you can always request extra chili to add on the side. Negatives: Have had dishes come out cold/lukewarm a few times. They don't seem to understand timing of dishes. Dishes have often come out one by one with even 10 minutes in between. This is very awkward when you're in a group. Yes their kitchen is small, but seriously for a restaurant as successful as Banna this should not be happening. Nothing is spicy- but you can always add spice yourself. Ah overall I enjoy my meals here. Sometimes my food is amazing, sometimes it's disappointing. It's a very popular pick for the locals.

The dishes are not the biggest I've experienced, but it's fair enough. The great taste compensate for the smaller portions. I can definitely recommend you to visit Banna. The restaurant is located in the cozy neighborhood of Gracia.
