We ordered roti paratha with vegetarian curry dip and vegan curry puff. Both were good in taste. They also have plenty of veg options. However, the food was cold even after taking so long to serve the food. The puff wasnt crispy and the paratha wasnt evenly cooked.But it was worth the price. I might go again if no other veg option is available in the farmers market.

We went to the farmers market to try a new international dish, we are glad we visited Banana Leaf. When we went the cashier had great customer service, and offered us great advice on what to get. He also recommended we eat our meal to see how hungry we still are after eating before trying the dessert, as the dessert is large and filling on its own and we may not be able to finish it after eating. We appreciated his honesty, friendliness and kindness. This type of service is hard to find in LA, we have been to several international cuisine and they are not honest, and will still give us partially complete items missing ingredients without warning us and trying to trick us just to get money, but not Banana Leaf. We feel like they are not serving us for money, but truly genuinely appreciate us coming to try their food. The food was delicious, I recommend the dish Rendang Fish!

Malaysian here🙋🏻‍♀️ ! I was SO excited when I saw this place at the farmer market! I (vegetarian)had a laksa with tofu and my husband (non-vegetarian) had the beef rendang with rice. The food tasted good and definitely scratched the itch of my homesick!While I saw many reviews comparing them to the local Malaysia/ Singapore food, I’ll say this, IMO— Is it‘ Americanize’, YES. Is it as good as local food, NO. BUT there are still good!! Just don’t expect them to be as spicy/ flavorful/ deep/ Santan-ny as the actual local food (which I think the Angelenos won’t appreciate it).Keep in mind they accept CASH ONLY.

A reliable Singaporean food spot! The workers are very nice, even when it’s super busy. The tables are kept clean and the food is always good! I usually find myself eating here whenever I’m at the market.

Really nice to have a Singaporean option, which means many different favorite cuisines at once.Overall it was good.The laksa was surprisingly bland, though, and I wouldnt recommend it.

The food here was okay — first time trying Singapore cuisine so I wasn’t sure how to compare but I was with friends who had Singapore food before and they chimed in. The noodles were good, overall, but not the best. It’s located in the farmers market at the grove and the farmers market has a really cute vibe to it and the energy, ambience, and aesthetic is fantastic which makes the dining experience awesome. The food was okay though.

Cute little stand in the farmers market offering freshly made Singapore food. Best flavored chicken satay i’ve had !

Its not what it used to be. The food use to be better and more flavorful. We also noticed they received a B rating. Thats probably due to the dirty fan blowing towards the kitchen or the loose hair or the spider between the juice dispensers. Or maybe it was the dirty looking lime juice container. I probably shouldnt be so harsh in my review since theyre a small mom n pop place and their prices havent gone up as significantly as the crepe place across the way (doubled!). But we havent been here in a long time and we were really looking forward to their food again.

I’ve been Singapore many times. Really wanted to see if any Singaporean/Malaysian foods in LA. Before I came here, I’d checked the reviews, it seemed mostly were positive.I ordered a basic fried noodle, wow it was very oily and the taste was nothing special. I needed to drink a lot of water to get rid of the oil in my stomach. Very disappointed for my first meal in LA.I left 3 stars because their service was good and friendly. Probably not come back again.

Ive been looking for a Malaysian place for beef rendang and Google suggested here. Its Indonesian, not Malay, and they were out of beef rendang, so I tried the chicken rendang instead. It was good, but not what I was hoping for - also, the chicken includes bones, its not just meat like the beef rendang Ive had back in NY. The white rice was a bit dry.Seating is first-come, first-serve and is on the small row of tables between vendors in the market. If its busy, be prepared to take your order to go and eat it elsewhere.

Ordered the singapore noodles with a mango refresher. This place is very good! I would definitely make this one of my regular goto places if I came here regularly.This is not fast food (takes about 5-10 mins from ordering to completion), but is well worth the wait.

Pretty good for what it is. Very friendly staff, good selection, fresh. Ive been going here for a number of years. Some dishes can be hot, be sure to ask. Curry puffs are a must have. Parking at Farmers Market can be rough. Suggest parking at Grove (farmers market does not validate Grove parking).

The restaurant is flanked by copious other small restaurant/stalls at the Farmers Market. Ordered the curry puff as an appetizer. Its very similar to a samosa and it was hot and crispy with just the right amount of spice. The sweet chili sauce was a bit of a letdown since it tasted like any other sweet chili sauce from a random supermarket. The rendang chicken was served on top of a banana leaf along with a side of white rice and a cabbage vinegar slaw. The curry was creamy and on the mild side, but the chicken was paltry and a bit dry. Overall, still a great place to visit. The person behind the counter was friendly and helpful with her suggestions.

Actually, the food is quite great, it was freshly made. The spice and herbs was on point. The service was also great. But unfortunately they lacked of the most important element in every southeast asian food: umami taste.

A good mix of Malaysian, Indonesian and Singaporean cooking. The Nasi Lamek and Beef Randang reminded me of the food I used to get when I was in Malaysia. Although they did bring down the spice and flavour to suit the pallet of the local market, it sure was a good reminder of the food we expect from the authentic kitchen.

Singapore’s Banana Leaf is inside the Original Farmer’s Market. They serve Singaporean/Indonesian/Malaysian food. I love the food, it’s delicious. It’s comfort food for me. The food is authentic no attempt to make it American fusion, thank goodness. My favorites on the menu is the Lodeh soup and Chicken Rendang, served on traditional banana leaves. They even have Cendol (if you know, you know)! I don’t think there is another place like this in LA so I’m lucky to have this close to where I live. Needless to say, I happily frequent it.

Sad very sad for this restaurant that call this Laksa Soup, its Colored Water whit out any flavor, not even the boiled egg. Call it something else hit not Laksa Soup. I called the restaurant and the lady over phone said that no one have said any thing. Please if you know about real Laksa Soup flavor, write a review and say something to better this!

I used to live here and frequently ate at BL. It was always rich and vibrant but with depth of flavor. Not sure when new owners took over the place but it has permanently changed the caliber of food. The laksa was watered down and flavorless. To the point that the attendant told me he would give me soy sauce and Kecap Manis to add flavor. Seriously?? The beef rendang looked the part but fell flat with the richness of the gravy and the meat hadn’t soaked in the sauce flavor either. Mee Goreng was a little better but still didn’t use the yellow thick noodles or have the rich brown sauce typically served with this dish. I was so sad because this was the first meal I had to eat upon landing. If you have never had the food before then perhaps you won’t mind. But if you are familiar with the cuisine then you will be disappointed. Save the trip and money and locate a better far more authentic place to enjoy Malaysian cuisine.

Misses the mark. We tried the laksa with chicken, gado gado, and chicken satay. The best of the 3 was the gado gado, which had good flavor. The Singapore laksa was a little more like watered down curry, it was tasty but not quite the same flavor as Singapore laksa. The chicken satay was somewhat of a miss, the seasoning was good but it was really dry and badly charred at the ends. Maybe we sampled their food on a bad day. The wait was not too long, about 20 mins.Note this place is cash only.

To be honest, this is one of my favorite places to go at The Grove. The foods taste is exquisite and delicious! I look forward to going back every single time. I have also introduced some of my friends to enjoy the number four Paratha dish! The customer service is always on point and the wait for the food does not take long to be cooked at all! I highly recommend that more people should try this business!

Dining allaperto is the appeal of the Los Angeles Farmers Market, and Singapores Banana Leaf offers it with samplings of Singaporean, Indonesian, and Malaysian fare.The area is easily accessible to wheelchairs, baby strollers, or a large party.The food is a little underwhelming, so dont expect to be transported to the food stalls of Singapore with every morsel. But its reasonably priced, so why not?Also have cash at hand, as this seems to be the transaction of choice here and in most businesses at the Los Angeles Farmers Market.

2021-12-26 15:29:43

Im a Singaporean, and while Im slightly surprised that the rojak did not have doughsticks, century eggs inside like how it is back home, the flavor of the sauce is pretty authentic. Portion is huge. Not bad to buy if youre craving food from home.

2022-07-07 04:13:28

Food is a bit greasy but placed in a banana leaf which made very special. I don’t recommend to take the de dessert. They really followed for the spice level I requested. Staff is friendly. Just be patient for your food to be served.

2019-09-24 17:49:55

With lots of vegan options and lots of flavor this place is worth a taste. They have a nice price range if you just want something quick or full dishes. My curry dish was memorable

Review №26

2022-01-02 19:37:40

This is a poor representation of Laksa. No pros at all, the star is to allow me to post a review. Heres the list;Cons:1. This soup has a bland taste2. Undercooked noodles3. Undercooked fishcake4. Spinach as garnish.5. Hot Sauce or chillis (instead of laksa paste)Dont expect this to be similar to any Asian Laksa you have tasted, you will not only get disappointed by the taste but also by how slow the service was.

Review №27

2023-11-05 20:28:52

I dont know how this place has good reviews. It brings shame to Singaporean cuisine. Being Singaporean myself, the food served here is inauthentic, flavorless, and best avoided at all costs.

Good gluten-free options. The owner and the staff are great. Food is fresh, delicious, varied and authentic. The Rojak salad is something else! Crunchy and sweet. Love this place.

Omg this was the best food Ive almost ever eaten, and I dont say that lightly. So much flavor, freshness, and goodness. Huge portions that even I couldnt take down. The best part was eating the leftovers for dinner. 10 out of 10. I cant understand how this place only has 4 stars on Google.

My review as of 6/3/18I’ve been eating here for at least 4 years now and it’s still the BEST in L.A.! It’s a hidden jem that’s family owned and operated. The food is delicious and the staff and owners are so friendly.My favorite items on the menu are the #10 Mee Goreng with chicken (I like it spicy but you can have it made mild or medium as well), the #5 Curry Puffs, and the Curry (both #2 Chicken and #3 Vegetarian are great).I was also very excited to learn that they started delivering via Grubhub and Postmates (YAY!).Parking is free with validation which they can give you.

I have ordered my food from this restaurant because I missed the Asian food that I use to eat back home. So I ordered beef rendang. It comes with rice and salad aside. Plus mee goreng with chicken and indo style dish. The food was ok. It wasn’t authentic like back home.

Review №34

2020-01-01 19:36:15

Service was great. Staff was super nice. 3 stars because- none of the dessert options were available- laksa broth was bland, flavour should be 2-3x stronger- girlfriend ordered chicken rendang and got beef instead

Review №35

2023-08-05 03:55:12

Laksa doesnt taste the same, pratha seems like taken from the freezer and heat it up. This place used to be the authentic singaporean resto...

Tucked inside the Original Farmers Market, this small little Singaporean shop serving up authentic Singaporean meals. The Roti with curry sauce was AMAZING however the mee goreng was a little alright to me.

Singapores Banana Leaf was an excellent location at The Original Farmers Market with a great selection of South and Southeast Asian food offerings. I really like the food but it was definitely toned down for local sensibilities which took away from its authenticity a bit. Their mango drink was also really good but could be a tad bit less sugary if you ask me. The queues arent unbelievable and although it may take 10-15 minutes to get your food after ordering it on a busy weekend, it might be a great starting point for those who havent had an experience or exposure to Southeast Asian cuisine.

The food was not great, pretty dull. They also gave me the wrong food order and did not want to give me the correct order I had asked for. Very terrible service from the chefs and the front of house (rude looks & behaviour towards me).I would 100% AVOID if you are at the market!!!I also had a bad tummy from the food! (Who knows if they wanted to ruin it.)

Authentic Malaysian-Singaporean food stall in the Original Farmer’s Market. Ordered the Mi Goreng and rojak, which didn’t disappoint. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had sugar cane juice in the nostalgic old “yeo’s” can children who grew up in Malaysia and Singapore are no strangers to. Ordered that and a mango juice. All in all, a wonderful lunch spot!

Lunch with a side of racial prejudice. They do take credit cards but only depending on your skin color. Otherwise they will pretend that they don’t and are “cash only”.

Love the Chrissy Field sandwich, breakfast sandwich, to-die-for lemonade and the muffins! Its fun to browse all the delicious products inside, but I also like that I can stay outside with my dog if I just want to order sandwiches/coffee/etc.

This restaurant has a special spot in my heart. Being Asian American, its hard to find an authentic Asian American restaurant in the heart of Los Angeles, let alone in a tourist trap.Do not let the fact that they are at the Farmers Market at the Grove fool you. They cook up real authentic food here....serve on actual banana leaf, which adds to the flavor. If you know, you know.I always order curry!It is cash only, so please be mindful of that.They validate your parking ticket, it is free for an hour...maybe 90mins.Please tip your cook.Enjoy!

Located in the Farmer’s Market, food was okay, prices was not cheap. The employee taking my order was friendly.I just really wanted to eat pho or some kind of rice noodle soup so I chose this one.

2017-11-12 23:26:43

This great option among many in the larger Farmer’s Market cluster of restaurants. There are dedicated tables for patrons, and waitstaff bus the tables after you ordered at the register. It can get busy at peak hours, but usually the line to order and wait for food is no more than fifteen minutes. Overall a highly recommended stop if you’re looking for a Market staple.

2023-02-16 07:26:12

I am even surprised that they even dare to name the dishes original Singapore Malaysian cuisines. Having resides all over S E Asia, Singapore and Penang, I will tell you that besides obnoxiously overpriced, the boys that are running this banana leaf dont even know how to fried a proper plate of simple yellow Asian noodle let alone calling it Mee Goreng that have no spice, no taste and completely uncooked Luke warm noodles on a cold LA morning. Its seems that they toss the noodle in the wok or something add a few veg then call it Mee Goreng. Shameful.Satay tasteless, over-cooked dry to the bone. The only item even worth eating is the Peanut satay sauce, then again, I suspect its from a bottle from Asian Manufacturer. the way they cook the noodle tells me they dont have the quality to whip up the Peanut Satay Sauce, themselves. Please, ownership guys if you are reading this, please change your name and stop embarrassing Malaysian and Singapore World Class Cuisines with a bad name and false taste and impression. Very Sad, worse food I ever ate in my life

As a Singaporean myself, this is probably one of the worst representation of Malaysian/Singaporean food. The Laksa noodle soup was very bland (1/10) while the Singaporean curry noodle is okay… (5/10). Overall it is just not authentic when it comes to taste. You will be severely disappointed.

Overall my family and I had a wonderful experience eating from this restaurant that is placed into the Grove of Hollywood shopping and dining experience.If you are into exotic cuisine and tantalizing mouth watering taste to appease your tastebuds then this is the place to be. Food is well done!Vegans, vegetarians and meat lovers there is something there for everyone. My favorite is the people and the way they make us feel. Thanks for making it a more than pleasant experience.❤️🌹♥️

I ordered a drink here. But when the order called, I had my mom take the order for me. The server didn’t give us a drink, even when she told them that we ordered one.They eventually gave us, but their Thai tea is like 60% filled with ice.

Wow, this place is fantastic! First off, we met one of the owners who told us the family business history and that all the dishes are his mothers recipe. We ordered the Tuna Sambal, and as a surprise gift, we got the Laksa from the owner. Both dishes were excellent, and according to my Singaporean friends, fresh and authentic!I highly recommend this place if you are craving home-style Singaporean and eastern fare with a lovely customer service experience!!

It took forever to pick up my order. I am sure he is a sweet man, but he was very elderly and extremely slow and there were other very frustrated customers before me in line waiting impatiently to be served. I called ahead to place my order so it would be faster but i still waited forever just to pick up my order!!!! There used to be such fast friendly front counter staff, I think his name is Wahyu. I wish they had him permanently

I never write reviews but had to after trying this little shop in the farmers market in L.A.. Absolutely loved it. I got the vegetable curry and was surprisingly delighted. Husband got the chicken curry and said it was the best indo curry hes ever had. Everything is served on a banana leaf and deeply flavorful. Customer service was great. They are one of the only shops to decorate and care for the tables within the market. Even the water (which was free) was infused with cucumber. I just wish there was one in my state! We will definitely be making our way back next time were in L..A.

I absolutely adore Singapores Banana Leaf! Delicious, authentic Singaporean/Asian cuisine for a reasonable price in a great setting! My family ordered the Curry with Beef, Roti Bread with Curry Dip and the Egg Rolls. The food was fresh, perfectly spiced and very filling. The only reason this place gets four instead of five stars is because the service is heinously slow. Yes, there is a sign saying this is not fast food BUT I feel a 35 minute wait is a little too long.Nonetheless, its worth waiting for and I recommend eating here out of anywhere else at Farmers Market OR the Grove.

From the perspective of a Malaysian, the food here is only very mediocre. They are unable to deliver the depth of flavours I would expect from Malaysian food. I have tried the mee goreng, laksa, otak-otak, etc and while they are decent, they only taste like a mild version of the real thing.

The place is clean and tidy plus very systematically organised seatings. The design of the restaurant is simple but stylish.The dishes - localised rice with curry meats - are tasty as ingredients are fresh.The services are efficient and waiters and waitresses are friendly and polite.The price is value for money or very worth it.

Been coming here for a while now, unfortunately very disappointed because of the service. Every time we are told that we have to pay in cash because machine is not working. However, many times after we paid, we saw the cashier charging people after us with a card reader?! Like what the hell?!Very not cool! We drive quite far to this place and today just had to leave hungry because we were once again told we have to pay in cash.Officially lost your customers.This is not a good way to run a business!

This is the only place I ever eat at the Grove. It is delicious and, since one trip to Singapore, I was completely hooked on their flavors. It does trend spicy, so let them know to tone it down if you need.veggie curry insanely good.

Great Food and Exellent ServiceRestaurant located at the Farmers Market near The Grove. Had the chicken rendang. Portion was very good for the price. Taste was authentic. Liked the atmosphere as well....very casual. The owner Mike is a great friendly guy. Would definitely recommend!

Decently surprised how good this food court place is in Farmers Market. Reminded me of the street stalls in Singapore in a good way. Prompt service and easy to understand menu. Ordered the chicken curry and curry puffs. The chicken was so moist and balanced with a good heat from the curry! And the curry puffs were light, crispy and a great side. Glad hey kept the local food joints in Farmers Market rather than give in to the Groves type of restaurants.

Tucked away at the Farmers Market. Great little spot worth going to. Try the Chicken Curry.

Definitely one of my top 3 spots, if not my top spot to eat at The 3rd & Fairfax Farmers Market. I would say to try the chicken randang and the paratha bread. The curry sauce/gravy with the coconut milk is seriously delicious but thats just me. Everyones taste buds are subjective

Chose this place randomly on a busy day and was quite disappointed with it. After ordering they made us wait 20 minutes just to tell us that they had run out of chicken and that our food was still not ready. We then waited another 20 minutes just to receive our food. I had the Nasi Goreng it was quite bland. Though this restaurant does server very generous portions.

Convenient, in the middle of it all in Fairfax. parkings a challenge but theres always the garages around and theres plenty to wander about for half a day in the market and in the new developments of the Grove. this place has decent food and for it decent price but theres many other places to choose from if this is not the fancy

I had a nasty craving for Laksa since I moved back to LA. Ive been wanting to try this place but theres always something better (I mean food) that made me change my mind (every time I hit The Grove). This time I put my foot down and went for it. The cashier was really nice and recommended the Mee Goreng. I asked if it was made from instant noodles and was told that theyre using wheat noodles. I paid, I took a bite and regretted it. It was dull and tasteless, nothing like wheat. Straight out flat and sad. The chicken skewers (Satay) with spicy peanut sauce was doable and that was it.

Review №96

2016-10-15 07:26:59

This was pretty unique for food court type of restaurant, but I have to say that the food wasnt that impressive. The laksa was nothing like the ones you would get in Singapore or Malaysia. Messy presentation, small portion size and expensive. Its hard to find authentic Singaporean food in LA, but I probably wont come back though.

Review №97

2019-12-01 21:12:11

Wasnt the best Ive had but wasnt the worst. The flavors, although good, were lacking. It was like they recreated 70% of the flavors and didnt finish it off.I did find the otak-otak to be a huge miss. The fish was rubbery and nothing like the otak otak I knew from back home.

Review №98

2016-11-13 07:02:46

Interesting little stand inside the farmers market serving a type of food I am none too familiar with, unfortunately. The fish curry had a mixture of spices that I would normally associate with Indian style curries, but I believe there was also some coconut in the mix, pushing me a little toward southeast Asia. Overall a good choice if youre in the market and want to branch out a bit.

My mom and I stumbled upon it in June. We loved the food and the blend of Singaporean, Thai, Malaysian and Indian flavors. I live in the small town of Idyllwild, CA, in the mountains near Palm Springs, and wish it were closer to us, because the food is delicious! Wed love a place like this up here in this eclectic artist community. We will be back there again.

Very friendly service and good food. I got the fried noodles and chicken satay. Only thing was that it was a little more greasy than expected. I would try a rice dish or soup next time.

Review №101

2017-03-13 20:52:22

BLAND. Worst Nasi Goreng I had in my life.You guys whitewashed your food. Not sure why you would do that. People come looking for authentic, spicy and savory singaporean food. This tasted like frozen peas n carrots and plain rice fried together. It was sooooo BLAND!!Even the satay, its supposed to be so flavorful. It was just burnt yellow meat. I couldnt find the taste of turmeric, lemongrass or soy sauce. Just burnt yellow chicken on a stick.

The noodles are delicious, but even after considering that it is at farmers market, foods are little bit overpriced.I always get mee goreng with chicken. It is fried noodle. Try it with peanut sauce. You have to pay for the sauce though...
