Looking for a new restaurant and bar to check out? Look no further than this new arrival. The newcomer to Maple Leaf, called Ban Hua Sai, is located at 9400 Roosevelt Way NE. (between 95th St & 94th St).

Ban Hua Sai is a new Asian fusion spot offering a variety of noodle dishes, salads, deserts and more. 

On the menu, expect to see items like kaew kling with baby pork ribs, avocado and Dungeness crab salad, yum nua rare beef salad, crispy garlic chicken, crab fried rice, pad thai and more. 

There's a full selection of desserts as well, like pumpkin with coconut ice cream, sticky rice with longan, and fried ice cream. 

A full-service bar, with a variety of signature cocktails on offer, rounds things out. 

With a five-star rating out of 12 reviews on Yelp so far, the new bar seems to be a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Cindy F., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on October 8th, said: "TLDR: good food! Get dessert! Proportions slightly smaller than normal. Quiet atmosphere. Lighting is dimly lit but not too dim. Pop/upbeat music in background. They have a five-seat bar."

Yelper Benjamin M. added: “Yaaaaaaaaaaasssssssss!!!! Finally! We've lived across the street from this location for two years hoping, praying, and waiting for something great to appear in this spot. And finally we have Ban Hua Sai.”

And Jennifer G. said: "This place opened a couple of weeks ago and we just had a chance to try it. Yum! We had the pad see ew noodles with chicken and panang curry. Noodles were perfectly cooked."

Head on over to check it out: Ban Hua Sai is open Tuesday–Saturday from 11am–9pm, and Sunday from 4pm–9pm. (It's closed on Monday.)
