About
BANANA LEAF BRINGS YOU THE TASTES OF ASIAN ALL UNDER ONE ROOF From savory Pad Thai to Mushu Chicken, the tastes of Asia are mouth watering and exotic. But finding them all under one roof was never possible, until now. Banana Leaf Asian Cuisine is Stoney Creek's first Asian fusion restaurant, offering all of your favourite Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai dishes. Owner Tom Ngo and Frankie Chiu welcome you to enjoy the finest selection of delicious Asian cuisine. Conveniently located in the Elm King Plaza in downtown Stoney Creek, across from TD Canada Trust, the restaurant proudly opened its doors in May of 2013. After introducing themselves to the community, Banana Leaf staff members are welcoming more and more repeat customers. Unique house specialties like the Dragon Phoenix Nest, are sure to please. This flavourful feast includes scallops, shrimp, chicken slices and Asian vegetables, stir-fried in garlic, green onion and oyster sauce. Try the Deluxe Shrimp Guoba, featuring shrimp, chicken breast slices, Asian vegetables and crispy rice. The sizzling Satay Beef and Black Pepper Steak are sure to please. A variety of noodle and rice dishes are offered, including the Classic Cantonese Chowmein or Thai Stir-fried Noodles. All of your old favourites are here as well, like General Zuo's Chicken and savoury Pad Thai. Banana Leaf offers may exciting new options you won't find elsewhere. For a variety of meats and fresh vegetables, try the Rainbow Crispy Lettuce Wrap, featuring diced shrimps, minced pork and chicken, diced Chinese sausage, Asian vegetables, crushed peanuts and deep fried rice vermicelli with a lettuce wrapping. Guests can enjoy a wide array of vegetarian, poultry, beef and seafood options at Banana Leaf. The Vegetarian Delight features Asian vegetables, deep fried bean curd and bean thread in a bean curd sauce. To prepare the freshest, most flavorful dishes, Tom and Frankie purchase market-fresh produces every morning. Exotic Asian vegetables like bok choy, snow peas and asparagus are enhanced by the natural flavours of cilantro, lemongrass, basil and other herbs. Dishes are prepared using just the right amount of canola oil, for a great taste that's healthier and less greasy. After a visit to Banana Leaf, guests never leave hungry. The restaurant is known for its big portions and complete meals. With decades of experience in the restaurant and hotel industry, Tom and Frankie welcome you to enjoy authentic Asian cuisine in a warm, relaxing atmosphere. In 1998, Tom opened the successful Blossom City Chinese Restaurant on Brant Street in Burlington Ontario, which is still thriving under different ownership. Blossom City was an overnight success, and Banana Leaf will surely follow suit. Tom and Frankie chose Stoney Creek for their business after realizing the area did not have a restaurant offering a wide range of Asian cuisine. Many restaurants focus, but none offer the broad selection of Asian dishes you'll find at Banana Leaf. Tom's many skills include his work as fruit and vegetable carving artist. Over the years, he has created stunning, intricate centrepieces for weddings and other special events. Using the same care and attention to detail, Tom and Frankie are committed to providing a delicious and enjoyable dining experience. Banana Leaf is open Monday to Sunday for lunch and dinner. A convenient delivery service brings the taste of Asia right to your front door. Delivery is available in Stoney Creek and East Hamilton.

I have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant for years that I have been living in Hamilton, I finally find it ! We were hosting an event for 50 people early August 2021. We were checking some reviews when we came across Banana Leaf. We never tried their food. We made a call and spoke to Tom the owner. An appointment was set right away with Tom. We met with him , sat with him for about and hour. Tom is a very friendly and accommodating person. He listened to us made provide us with some good advices and suggestions. Right away we knew that this is the guy we can trust even though we have never tries his food yet. They have a very extended menu. To make a long story short. We chose 7 different dishes for the event and ordered his Sesame beef stir fry to bring home to eat. Wow it was so delicious!!!! Some of the dishes that we ordered for the event was not even on the menu. We only asked Tom if he could do it for us and there were no problem at all, again as I said before Tom was very accommodating and very helpful . Communication with Tom was excellent he sent follow up email as we get closer to the date. The food were delivered on time. We ordered the skewer platter, assorted seafood in satay sauce, sesame beef stir fry, mango chicken stir fry vegetable fried rice , China-Town style crispy chicken ( not on menu ) and another not on menu dish . They were all so delicious and I kept receiving all kind of compliments on the food from our guests. Well I guess Tom the compliments should go to you and your Chef. Thank you so much Tom for the good food and also for your kindness and your assistance !!!! Hats off to you and your Chef. Now I know where to go whenever I want to eat some good Chinese food !!!

Hands down one of the best Chines Restaurants I have ever been to. The food is incredibly flavourful with very little of the usual corn starch, salt and fat. The service is friendly and impeccable. Will definitely go back and it is now on my list of preferred take-outs as well.

We recently ordered a take out from the Banana Leaf Asian Cuisine and we extremely happy with the flavors, temperature , freshness. We have been looking for a couple years since our favorite YUM YUMS closed. This was my birthday choice and we drove 20 minutes to get it. Worth the drive . Will do again for sure. So good

Dear guest, It is hard to find a good restaurant, especially the one that is worth the drive for 20 minutes for take-out. We are glad that you have found us after your favorite go-to place in the past has been closed down. Please do come back to visit us so that we could introduce you to some other delicious dishes. Thank you very much for sharing your pleasant experience with the public. Your perfect rating is also very much appreciated. Please stay healthy and safe. Tom N Manager

Went with friends for lunch, only one waiter and had to wait over an hour for our meal. The food was warm, not hot and the egg rolls were icy cold inside. We sent back the eggrolls. The waiter was very flustered. When we walked in we were the only table, another 3 groups came in. He finally took all the orders and then we waited and waited. All of the other diner's meals came before ours even though we were there first and then as noted they were not hot. We had been there in the past and liked it so hopefully this was a one off experience but they definitely need more help on the floor and in the kitchen. It will be a long time before we ever go back....

This is absolutely the best Asian food you can eat. Perfect spices and flavors and abundance food in their main entrees. Mango salad so good. Our main dishes were sizzling beef satay and assorted seafood in black bean sauce. Yummy!

I’d give this a 2.5 rating if I could. The food was ok but really greasy and expensive. The food sat in a pool of grease and my son had an upset stomach during the night. The portions were decent though. We definitely won’t try this place again.

Our family is thrilled with this restaurant and it is now our go to whenever all our extended family get together to celebrate something. Tom is kind enough to allow us to pre-arrange our order by email so we could just enjoy all of the courses coming out family style so we don't have to worry about twelve separate orders. (He even kindly made my father a cake this time without being asked). We always start with the Wonton Soup (the broth and crispy noodles are next level) and Hot and Sour soup for the slightly more adventurous. We follow with the Vegetarian Spring Rolls and Mango Salad, which is super fresh and tasty. For the mains, our favourites are the Steamed Basa (quite literally melts in your mouth), Beef in ginger scallion and General Zuo Chicken. We always also get the yellow curry chicken, paneer and veg stir fry and chicken pad thai. I've been for business lunches as well though not for awhile and I think they might have a different lunch menu now. We come again and again and it is consistently excellent and then we get enjoy it all again with the leftovers!

Lovely little restaurant with good service. The food is extraordinary! The menu is unlike anything you’ve seen, with a number of food styles available. Delicious and fresh and the flavour was, again, off the charts. We will definitely be back.

This is normally an eat in and take out restaurant, but now it's only takeout for the pandemic. While there, people were calling from across town for takeout. I can't imagine driving thirty minutes each way for food but it did merit it!!! It was great. This is not "North American" Chinese food. It's more authentic. We will go back for sure!!!! The food was superfresh and next day left overs were not wilted. It's not surprising there is a wait for the food. Order one hour ahead of time for pickup!!!

We chose this restaurant off of Trip Advisor as a lunch location after a Hamilton Marathon Run. Upon arrival the manager was friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to have serve us. We chose the group of 5 menu which allowed each of us to choose a dish and this was accompanied by soup, spring rolls and rice. The food had amazing flavor combinations, was fresh and tasted great.

One of the best hot and sour soups I've had. I highly recommend this restaurant and I most certainly will be back soon. Terrific service was the icing on the cake.

We had booked at another restaurant - upmarket, very noisy and somewhat pretentious. We realized it just wasn’t us, made our apologies and walked out. Back to the hotel room, found the Banana Leaf on TA and had a delicious meal with an interesting, attentive and well travelled maître de doubling on the tables. Quick, sumptuous and authentic accompanied by a decent Italian Pinot Grigio. And very reasonably priced. Great meal!

Truly delicious and lovingly prepared pan-Asian food. Gracious service too. Do not judge it by its non-descript strip mall location. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing Food - Quality and Taste Springrolls - smaller size than some, came piping hot, nice and crispy. Vegetable Fried Rice - came loaded with amazing variety of fresh veggies. Had a lovely sesame taste. - Normally we treat rice as a base for the other dishes but this was a star on its own. Sizzling Black Pepper Beef - sooooo delicious. Came out sizzling on a cast iron pan. Many crispy veggies. Amazing flavour. Singapore Noodles - ordered medium spice - nice strong curry flavour with a bit of a kick. It was a bit too strong for my hubby but perfect for me. Tons of baby shrimp and crispy veggies. So amazing. General Zao Chicken- this was just ok - the flavour was not strong, and the sauce was a bit thick for our liking (similar texture to sweet and sour chicken sauce which I’m not a fan of) I was expecting a crunchy texture for the coating but it was softer. It would definitely appeal to some people, but we will try a different chicken dish next time. Service - fast, amazing, pleasant and professional. This restaurant was a great find. Tucked into the back corner of a small plaza. Very clean. White table cloths. They do a great take-out business as well. We can’t wait to go back and bring friends and family - it’s that great !!!!!
