Avoid this restaurant.
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.…
Worst food, service, & prices.
This place is horrible!
Terrible long wait, mostly teenagers, not enough waiting area to sit.
The waiters keep trying to push appetizers and drinks on you. They charge for every coke refill.
The food is horrible. They do have a flashy roti made in center of room for show but it was heavy and greasy, not like its supposed to be. But worst of all the food was horrible, had to have them take the fish away because it tasted foul, but they were rude about, keep endlessly repeating how wonderful it was like they didn't understand a word of plain English, then the poor service after that became non-existant, to top it off they even refuse refund on the stinking fish.
Can not understand how this place gets even a single star rating except that you have to give at least one star or this silly citysearch will not post it. Will never go back !!!…
Worst Fish - Worst Service in Bay Area. This place is way over rated. The service was very slow, everything from taking our order, serving the food, refilling water, taking desert order, bringing the bill, everything was slow. Had to practically beg for water. Instead of providing free refills of coke like most places they charge for every glass of coke. The tea was cold. We ordered live fish, it was horrible! We practically live on fresh fish, 5 or 6 times a week and this is the worst fish we have ever had, we had to send it back. The did not offer to replace it and of course, they would never consider comping it. The egg plant was very greasy. We will never go back.…
The worst Singaporean & Malaysian dish I ever tasted in the bay area.. The Hainan chicken, bakut teh, kwei tiauw and the chicken rice do not even close to the discripton and so far remove from the real thing in both country. I live in singapore and I am an executive chef for over 20 years.…
Nothing extraoridnary. After hearing only good stuff about Banana Island, I had to try it. I ordered what people on citysearch had suggested which are the roti something (curry with Indian pancake/bread) and pineapple fried rice. The roti could have been better if it was spicy. Not too spicy just a little bit. The pineapple fried rice was really cool because it is served in a pineapple. However, I didn't taste anything. I barely tasted the pineapple and I just mainly tasted rice. There are a lot of other stuff on the menu for me to try so I would go back there. I probably just ordered the wrong items.…
