Green Banana Leaf came highly recommended by a childhood friend from Buena Park, and it did not disappoint! I brought my Korean friend for his first Filipino food experience, and I’m so glad it was a hit. After being in the US for over a month and a half, I was really craving authentic Filipino flavors—and this place delivered. We had Pancit Bihon, Lumpiang Shanghai, Grilled Pampano, and Fried Rice—all cooked perfectly and full of delicious, familiar tastes. The pancit was well-seasoned, the lumpia was crispy and flavorful, and the grilled pampano was fresh with a perfect char. I also enjoyed a refreshing glass of Sago’t Gulaman, which brought back memories of home. Special shoutout to our Filipina server (I forgot her name, but she’s Ilongga and very sweet) for making the experience even better with her warmth and great service. We’ll definitely be back!

I was nearby, wanted some great Filipino food & found a spot. A lot of space and a lot of items to choose from. I ordered their kare kare with crunchy pata, garlic rice, pancit, palabok and calamari. The kare kare with crunchy pata was ridiculously good. The crispy skin was just right and seasoned perfectly. The kare kare was on point and the pancit was also good. The palabok wasn’t my favorite but it wasn’t that bad and the calamari was perfect. Solid customer service, I’d definitely come back here again and try their other menu options.

A hidden gem of Filipino food. It's a small restaurant with good food. We wanted to try different food items so we ordered the BBQ Platter, which includes pork BBQ, pork liempo, Korean beef ribs BBQ, chicken BBQ and chicken inasal. It was a good way to way to try different entrees. The Pancit Canton was packed with flavor since the meat was well marinated.

I'm glad we finally tried this place and it was worth it. Not a lot of Filipino restaurants invest in the way a restaurant should look, but this place did a good job. Nice atmosphere and clean. I'm glad they have plastic shields/partitions in between the booths. Great customer service. The gentleman that helped us was prompt, informative, and friendly. Bathrooms were clean too. As for the food, they were delicious. We have yet to try what the other people were mentioning in the reviews. Good presentation too. The prices were also very reasonable-- although I think the kare kare is a little on the pricey side so we didn't order it. I also wished that the dishes came with at least 1 scoop of rice (like most places), but they didn't. You have to pay extra for a side of rice. We'll definitely be back though.
