delish by ss b. at InsiderPages

My expectations were exceeded. A avid restaurant goer since age 9 I know what kind of restaurants I like and what to look for. Some people don't like crowds, but don't discount the restaurant for them! Crowds means the place must be good for some reason right? And Banana Island was definitely crowded. We had to wait twenty minutes for our party of 8 but it was well worth it. The food comes out FAST, so be ready. Good, good, good! It's not too salty or gloopy (full of corn starch) like many asian cuisine restaurants' food can be. The desserts were ethereal! Ask about a mountain shaped cone of shaved ice and syrups - to die for. The, what's it called....roti? with whipped cream and strawberries was also delish.
The place is also beautiful, clean, and for every demographic.
Parking was easy to find too...that is, if you don't mind a little five minute walk!
Definitely call before going to reserve a spot though, as I said, it's crowded.
