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.

Neya at the Banana Leaf Thai: My partner and I, after an extended camping trip, found ourselves in Port Townsend one evening, hungry and unsure of where to dine. Despite the Banana Leaf Thai Bistro closing soon, Neya promptly seated us and recommended delightful dishes. The food was not only delicious but also accompanied by impeccable service. Our experience was so exceptional that upon leaving Port Townsend, we decided to return for another visit. Next time we’re in town, we’ll definitely make this restaurant a regular stop.

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.

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.

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!

Tried Banana Leaf Thai Bistro with a friend and it did not disappoint! We ordered the Duck Noodle Soup and Yum Neu—both were absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and generous portions. We’ll definitely be back for more! Highly recommend if you’re craving Thai food done right.

I travel all over the country for my job. And this is by far hands down the absolute best Thai restaurant I've ever went to. I worked up in this area for almost a year and ate here once or twice a day. The food was always and ever consistently awesome. I met another customer there a few times, He also travels all over the country and he said the same thing as I did that this was the best Thai restaurant he's ever been to from east to west coast.

I got the spicy basil garlic fried rice with mild spice and tofu, delicious! Our waiter let us know before we were seated that there was going to be a wait because they were understaffed and we were ok with that! Still had excellent service
