Banana Leaves Asian Cafe Bethesda

This restaurant is fantastic and spacious, with a delicious menu and very affordable prices. The staff is fast, efficient, and incredibly personable. I will definitely recommend this place!

We had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! My husband and I ordered takeout on the weekend and tried their lunch specials. As vegans, we were pleasantly surprised by the variety offered, and the food was delicious and abundant. While the ambiance may not be the best for dining in, the flavors of the dishes definitely made up for it. The food might not be the healthiest option, but every bite was definitely worth it!

This is undoubtedly one of the best dining spots in the area. Every time I visit, I leave feeling completely satisfied. They maintain an excellent standard of service along with top-notch food. You'll certainly enjoy your experience at this restaurant. Highly recommended!

Banna leaves are interesting. On the one hand I tried the bubble tea that tasted like strong coffee with hard bubbles and didn't look like the picture. On the other hand, they have the best roasted rice I've ever had in my life. (Yes, it's so good) So try it, but it's a little hit or miss.

We order from Banana Leaves pretty frequently, and we're never disappointed. The hot and sour soup is great, and it's one of the few restaurants that sells lao bing (Chinese scallion pancakes). The mapo tofu is wonderful, and the Thai Seafood Delight is the closest to our favorite dish from the now defunct Benjarong that we can find. The fact that we can get both Chinese dishes and Thai dishes in one place is key. Do yourself a favor and try this place out.
