2023-12-02 05:42:55Pati is tasty and flakey, Hainanese chicken is excellent with either the hot sauce or the ginger sauce for dipping, spicy wings are tasty, beef rice noodles are excellent, spicy and sour seafood soup is great.

2023-08-16 01:23:34I came here with my family for a weekend lunch and got zero complaints from my Asian mother (which is the highest compliment of all)!We loved the roti appetizer, so glad that we ordered 2 portions for 4 people to share. It was light and fluffy, dipping it into the coconut curry sauce was perfect. We also tried a few other Singaporean classics like chicken and beef satay - the chicken was far more tender than the beef. The nasi lamak had great flavor but we werent expecting it to be served like a single lunch portion. We also got a whole fish which was supposed to be Thai style, did not expect it to be fully deep fried but the accompanying sweet chili sauce was not bad. I would skip the Singapore style rice noodles next time (or maybe go for the crunchy fried version).I will be back to try the curry and some of their other popular dishes!

2023-10-12 16:15:29Good food and service. Went there for dinner. Chicken dish was rather dry, since it was precooked. Soup was okay, nothing special. There chicken broth rice and coconut rice was delicious, even by itself. Roti is a must order item.

2023-10-14 02:59:23My recent visit to Banana Island was quite underwhelming. The food was mediocre, and the service was even worse. Not only did the servers roll their eyes and treat me with attitude, but they also refused to provide the Wi-Fi password. This experience left me disappointed and frustrated.

2023-06-22 05:20:58When I was growing up, we’d use to come here often . We came for Father’s Day this year and the food quality has dropped a bit, as well as the portions of the roti… they are so small now that one portion is like for one individual. The beef rendang and the pad se ew were the highlights but the pad Thai is probably the worst pad Thai I have ever had. All in all, it’s alright but not as good as it used to be

2023-10-28 21:09:55This place feigns importance nor does not respect a customers allergies! A lot of room for opportunity for their customer service and follow-up.We ordered the salted cabbage and bean curd soup (Did not specify it had shrimp on the menu, and I am moderately allergic to shrimp). When the soup came out, we politely asked our server (bald headed guy) if they could change the soup since I mentioned I was allergic to shrimp. The new bowl of soup came back suspiciously quick, and to my fear when I was halfway thru my cup there was a little shrimp piece- seems like they just scooped out the shrimp from the previous bowl!I work in hospitality, and I RARELY complain if I find customer service in a place I visit low-tier. Of course when our server stopped-by I let him know of the situation and apologized, however no follow-up from him after, did not even ask how I was doing if I am having allergic reactions (or dying!).My friends noticed he spoke to a lady in a suit and another server in glasses, because all three of them were looking at our table, and we thought there would be a follow-up from them, but nope! Did not even comp anything and charged us the full check.I only had mild allergic reactions, itching and mild swelling of my lips—— BUT, What if someone else is SEVERELY ALLERGIC to shrimp? Do better Banana Island management!!

2022-11-21 15:42:31MY favorite Malaysian restaurant in the peninsula!! I would literally drive from Sunset for this place! Needless to say, been here numerous times and will definitely for many more times in the future. Great service each & every time we are here thus far. MY usual orders are rotis, satay chicken or beef skewers & Thai ice tea each time we come along with other dishes. Wide selections of food and parking is conveniently located just in front of the restaurant.

2023-02-18 07:39:50The service was great, our server was very patient and friendly. The food was ok, I ordered lots of dishes to share with the family. Sorry, I cant recall a dish that stood out to me. The restaurant is a little hard to find. You have to go into and behind the parking structure.

2022-12-30 04:56:26My family and I were looking for a fast and tasty place to have dinner in Daily City. Banana Island, a stunning diner serving in broad range of Thai, Malaysian and Singaporean. They offer a nice comfortable space with a calm Asian atmosphere. It has a long variety of flavorful dishes in its menu, starting with delicious appetizers and then with their fantastic main dishes that vary from poultry to seafood. I would definitely recommend this place for its excellent service, price and delicious food.
