I have been to the Bangkok Thai restaurant around the corner many, many times and decided this weekend to try something new. Unfortunately that was a very bad decision this time because I decided to go to Banana Island. Comparatively not only was Banana Island a waste of money but it literally made me sick. I'm not sure how to give it zero stars above, but that's the real rating This restaurant had a comfortable atmosphere to hang out with friends... but the food was horrible! Specifically - the food was bland, there was so much oil it made me sick, the shrimp were dry and tasted like they had been frozen for awhile and the vegetables were clearly either from the freezer or a can. If I go out to a restaurant and pay good money I expect good flavor and fresh food.

My expectations were exceeded. A avid restaurant goer since age 9 I know what kind of restaurants I like and what to look for. Some people don't like crowds, but don't discount the restaurant for them! Crowds means the place must be good for some reason right? And Banana Island was definitely crowded. We had to wait twenty minutes for our party of 8 but it was well worth it. The food comes out FAST, so be ready. Good, good, good! It's not too salty or gloopy (full of corn starch) like many asian cuisine restaurants' food can be. The desserts were ethereal! Ask about a mountain shaped cone of shaved ice and syrups - to die for. The, what's it called....roti? with whipped cream and strawberries was also delish. The place is also beautiful, clean, and for every demographic. Parking was easy to find too...that is, if you don't mind a little five minute walk! Definitely call before going to reserve a spot though, as I said, it's crowded.
