Smiling Banana Leaf | Our Story
A neighborhood table on Bryant Street
Smiling Banana Leaf is a small Thai restaurant tucked along Bryant Street in Pittsburgh's Highland Park. Freshly prepared, traditional food — simple, quick, and made for people who love to eat.
Fresh and traditional
Every dish comes out of the kitchen made to order, rooted in traditional Thai cooking. No shortcuts — just honest food that tastes like it should.
A small room with room to settle in
Four tables, first come first served, and BYOB — bring what you like and stay a while. It's that kind of place.
A menu for curious eaters
Chicken satay, pan-fried chive dumplings, tom yum, khao soi, pad thai, pad see ew, curries — and a lemongrass butterfly pea flower lemonade you won't forget.
The food comes first
As the restaurant puts it: "We love food, lots of different food, just like you." That's the whole story, really.
