Profoundly unimpressive

I went to this place for the first time on the weekend and came away profoundly unimpressed.

I've been to Thailand many times so I've got some idea what Thai food is supposed to taste like. As some of the other reviewers have noted, what they serve up at Banana Leaf is basically Chinese food (and not great Chinese food at that) garnished with what locals perceive to be some "Thai" touches (ie a bit of oily peanut sauce out of a can served on the side). Then they have the hide to charge you twice as much as what you'd pay in a Chinese restaurant for the privilege of eating "international" food.

Beijing has a lot of very decent international restaurants these days, but this definitely isn't one of them. This is an mediocre Chinese restaurant with inflated prices.
