Banana Blossom Thai Restaurant

"First time trying this place and it didn’t disappoint. Our server was spectacular (he was also the bartender). Food was good and came out quick. Moderately priced menu with plenty options to choose from. It’s a small, quaint restaurant and the atmosphere is family oriented. Me and family will most definitely return."

"I had a friend bring me here for lunch for the first time. I never knew this place was located in Gretna. I absolutely love the food. I speak highly about this place to my friends. The atmosphere at this restaurant is great. If I can give it more stars, I would."

"An absolute treat of a restaurant in the heart of Gretna. Started with a Rotti appetizer along with the mini egg rolls. Both shock your pallette, leaving you desiring more. As for the entrees, I fancied the Hawaii 504 and my guest reordered a favorite of her's the BB Seafood Curry. Highly impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. A nice escape from whatever your norm may be. If you haven't given Banana Blossom a taste, may this review steer you there."

"Food was great but service was “not so great ”. The server we began with was not the one we ended with. Not sure why they switched my sever out halfway during my experience without me knowing & had her waiting on other tables (& we came right when they opened so it wasn’t super busy or anything). My family was only tended to once throughout the entire experience (and this was only when our 1st waiter brought us bottled water to drink). Not once did she come over and ask if the food was okay, if we’re doing okay or needed anything. The second male waiter brought out our dessert then the check without introducing himself or anything. Lastly , while leaving out, the male hostess was standing near the door and turned away when we exited. This was very unprofessional ..no “thank you” or “have a nice day”. I’m one who really pays attention to how I’m treated at restaurants from the time I enter to the time I leave. Overall, I wouldn’t say this was a very “bad” experience but it wasn’t very welcoming. Now, to the food: I had the roti as an appetizer , I ordered the Hawaii 504 shrimp for myself, my son ordered the lobster and grits & my daughter got the dumplings and fried rice with a fried egg on the side. Also had the fried cheesecake for dessert in celebration of my son’s birthday. Everything was tasty …except the cold fried egg they served on the side. My total was around $80 and with tip, about $92. Due to the unprofessional service, Banana Blossom will not be one of my “go to” Thai restaurant like I would have hoped. I will stick to other Thai places I’ve been to with better service."

"This is hands down the best Thai restaurant in New Orleans and the greater New Orleans area. Food is amazing, the vibe is very cool but artistic, and the service is amazing. My server was extremely attentive and always accommodate anything i wanted. the vibe is that of a busy upscale city dine-in (no you don't have dress up). Finally the food is just amazing. so much flavors in every dish, from appetizers to desserts"
