Another sub par food joint. We tried their pakoras, jackfruit biryani and rotis. Pakoras were terribly overcooked.

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…read moresince 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. The Malaysian modern decor still looked similar to when I was last there. 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. 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. The vibe was family friendly and welcoming. I am not sure when I will be back but it was nice to return for some nostalgia.

I've never experienced such unprofessional management at a restaurant in my life. The manager set…read morethe tone for the entire evening, and unfortunately that tone was rude, dismissive, and unbelievably hostile. From the moment we had a small issue with our order, instead of trying to help, the manager acted annoyed that we even brought it up. What should have been a simple correction turned into an argument. The manager interrupted constantly, rolled their eyes while we were speaking, and spoke to both customers and staff with a level of disrespect that was honestly uncomfortable to witness. You could tell the employees were tense and afraid to say anything, which probably explains why the service was so disorganized. The worst part was how unapologetic they were. Rather than taking responsibility for mistakes, the manager blamed the kitchen, blamed the servers, and somehow even blamed us. At one point they walked away mid-conversation while we were still talking, which perfectly summed up the entire experience. No matter how good a restaurant's food might be, terrible management ruins everything -- and in this case, the manager made the place feel chaotic, stressful, and completely unwelcome. I won't be returning, and I'd strongly suggest anyone considering this restaurant spend their money somewhere that actually values customers and treats people with basic respect.

Upon walking in you feel immediately at home. The service was great and the food was nothing to…read morelook past. Korean Fried Chicken(no sauce regular) 3.5/5 - The chicken was moist but the flavor and seasoning was mild. Nothing that stands out but good quality. spicy galbijim 5/5 - Star of the show, great taste, big portions, and unique rice cakes(fried). Can't seem to find anywhere else that has this quality along with the cheap price. The MAIN reason why I would rave about this place. Fans of Galbi? Come here.

Handing Tofu was a choice my daughter made to eat at for her bday. We love a good Korean restaurant…read moreso why not. Plenty of parking in the plaza where this restaurant is located. Easy to find. The restaurant itself is pretty small but was able to fit our family of seven. We were treated right when we came in . The lady server was good on attention to detail what we needed and friendly. We tried a few of their dishes but my family was so hungry, I couldn't take a picture fast enough of everything. Haha Tried their whole batch of soy garlic chicken wings. It was cooked well but the outside coating tasted a little overcooked and not as much flavor in the chicken or seasoning. The glaze was not enough. That was a little disappointing for me. Also had their mushroom tofu soup which was added from a combo meal with grilled pork or called Dwae Ji Bulgogi. This was good. Ordered their Galbi short ribs was my favorite. Their seafood pancake was big and crispy. We also had their grilled spicy pork Bulgogi. This was ok, not too spicy but it was more like shredded pork and not a big portion. Actually, for the portion for the meat was pretty expensive to me. Everything now is getting more expensive and smaller portions. We didn't drink alcohol so I can image how much this would be. Our party only ordered 1 soda. We ordered enough and everything was finished or my husband didn't want to leave any food. This was located in Milpitas so if in the area, I would like to try it again.

Each dish was pretty good and had "very strong flavors", to the point that I wish I had a balance dish like plain rice to go along with in order to eat more, but individually speaking each dish is layered very well in flavor and worth trying out. Ambiance is nice inside, service was bare minimum - I don't mind but you may need to flag a waiter several times to get their attention. Place was full and had a wait list for seating 10-30 mins or so on a weekend noontime.

Truffle & Mushroom Butter Rice Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle Stir- fry pea sprouts Lemongrass pot chicken Banana Leaf wrapped seabass Dessert Youtiao dough bread pudding Dinosaur Cutie Taiwan Bun (Passionfruit and taro flavor) The most impressive dish is the Truffle & Mushroom Butter Rice. I want to come back for lunch so I can get their Yunnan Rose Coffee or Tea Latte. It says on the menu that their coffee beans and tea leaves are from pristine mountains of Yunnan. They do serve coffee for dinner time but I can't take the caffeine at night. The service is above average for a chinese restaurant. The waiter was pretty patience with us as we brought an elderly guest with us at the table so we took a little longer to enjoy our meal. The interior design of the restaurant is pretty interesting where the booth is align an triangular shape with a center piece so the tables can be put together for larger parties very easily. Definitely easier to get a table for parties of 4 or less but it will work out for larger parties as well.

One of my favorite vegan spots, and I've been coming here with my family long enough that it's…read moreabout time I actually wrote this up. The pho is the thing to get. Clear broth, comes with an assortment of vegan proteins, and it's been consistent every single time over the years. Best had in cold weather. The spicy noodle soup is solid too but it doesn't hit the same way. The SP4 gourmet deluxe is my other staple and I order it like an appetizer. The protein comes out fried with a crispy shell and soft inside. The sauce leans hard on lemongrass and citrus but it's savory throughout, not sweet. Haven't had anything like it anywhere else. Orange nuggets are chewy with a citrusy and sweet glaze. Good enough that I skip the actual appetizers for these. The Szechuan Pineapple is spicy, salty, and savory with chewy gluten and a citrus undertone running through it. Green papaya salad is strictly sour and tangy. Fresh, nothing heavy about it. Sweet potato curry is definitely underrated. Potato goes soft all the way through and the whole thing tastes hearty without being heavy. Basil eggplant tofu skews sweet and the eggplant goes silky and it's a family favorite. Eggplant claypot has the same idea but the sauce is better and it comes out in the claypot which makes it feel like a proper dish. Jalapeno BBQ seitan was a miss. The BBQ sauce tastes flat. Staff is friendly and food comes out fast.

Some of the best fresh rolls I've ever had. The tofu is marinated and seasoned and it takes it to…read morethe next level. They're also not shy with that peanut sauce, which I appreciate. Had the BBQ Vermicelli bowl and was thoroughly satisfied. It's a big portion, hits all the marks for veggie varieties, and tasted super fresh (even for takeout). I only came to get takeout but would for sure come back to dine in. The staff I interacted with were very friendly and the vibe was good.
