I have been here a couple of times and enjoy the service there’s a gentleman named Brandon that is kind and helpful when asking questions about unknown items. Items were fresh and delicious what he recommended was great I will be back just because of the amazing customer service.

This used to be a great food spot but recently quality has gone way down hill. Ordered take out and had big chunks of plastic in our 1 smoothie, while the other looked like it was half drunk or spilt before delivery. Nasty.

Banna King in Passaic is one of those spots you try once and instantly know you’re coming back. Their food is always super fresh you can taste it in every bite. The burgers are stacked, juicy, and cooked just right. The patacón is on another level… crispy, packed with flavor, and loaded with everything you want. And the salchipapas? Perfect late-night comfort food — hot, salty, and delicious every time. But the thing that truly puts Banna King above the rest is their fruit shakes with Carnation milk. Whether it’s strawberry, mango, or any of their fruit blends, they come out creamy, refreshing, and full of real fruit flavor. It’s a must-order, every visit. Friendly service, great vibes, and food that hits every single time. Definitely a go-to spot in Passaic.
