Banana Leaf Thai Bistro - Thai restaurant in Port Townsend - 609 Washington St, USA

Nice little restaurant with really tasty food. The waitress was friendly and the food was spectacular. Everything about the Singapore Noodles was spot on from the freshness the veggies to the portion of the chicken and shrimp. The rice noodles were super thin and the curry had the deep that only a few places can get to. It was easier to get to being a block of the Main Street. They have their own parking. A new most go to while at Port Townsend.

Delicious Thai food, we ended up eating there 2 nights in a row. Pad Thai was one of the best I’ve had, and it was a treat to see khao soi offered as a special!

We visited after relaxing at "Soak on the Sound" and wanting somewhere nearby to eat dinner after 6:30pm. There was plenty of available parking, but this restaurant seemed short-staffed and stressed out. A different patron ahead of us in line was very angrily complaining about there being a 40 minute wait for food to arrive. As far as I could decipher, the staff stationed in the entrance hallway asked us whether we had a reservation to be able to dine-in, which we did not. Nothing seen before driving there had mentioned needing to make a dining reservation! However, they had several open tables that were never filled, and so that staff member pointed a finger towards an open one on the far side of the dining room and we sat ourselves. The menu had lots of tasty sounding options on it. Our appetizer, dinner, and dessert all tasted fine. The wait times all seemed normal to me, too. Two different servers came to our table throughout the dining experience and both listened attentively to our orders. Dishes were delivered individually to our table as soon as they were plated instead of together, which kept each plate extra fresh. I liked the little pieces of candy that came with our bill (it was Asian plum flavored, I think). I'd be willing to eat there again.

More unique than your stereotypical Thai place. Their soups are incredible! We had the duck noodle soup, the shrimp wonton soup (no pork in it), and a fried rice on the specials board (came with Chinese chicken sausage and pork floss). Everything was so rich and outrageously flavorful. I wasn't expecting to be impressed, but wow, if I lived in the neighborhood you'd have to hold me back from this place. Honestly, try any of the soups. It was shockingly good. Service is no frills bc it seems they run pretty lean, but they are still very attentive and gracious.

The Thai place I love was closed, so I tried this one. The food was ok. A bit dry, very few veggies, but good seasoning and the pork wasn't too chewy

Great Thai food and special dishes. Tasted great and the waitress was very friendly. We enjoyed the meal and were surprised at the high quality of the ingredients and thought that goes in to preparation. Highly recommend.

Great food in a nice location, the weather was great so we opted to dinner outside. Supper nice experience.

We ordered the braised beef panang special and the avocado green curry with tofu based on recommendations from previous diners. The green curry was a lot sweeter than traditional versions, which is unfortunate but fairly common in Thai restaurants catering to Western palates. For the beef panang dish, the vegetables and beef cubes were in a very soupy panang curry, again sweet and missing the depth of flavor from spices that are usually present in these curries. But the weirdest thing was the beef. What is normally a soft and moist piece of meat was instead hard and salty like beef jerky. I wish I was exaggerating about the texture of this meat but it was so hard and unpleasant we stopped eating it and just ate the vegetables. We did mention it to the server after the meal when she came by with the check, and she gave us a discount on that dish. We will not be back. The only positive part of our meal was the server, a young redhead who despite having to doing everything from taking orders to serving food to ringing up the bill for what looked like the majority of the tables in the restaurant, was prompt and friendly throughout. So one more star added for the great service.
