My guess is that it's different from an American banana pie in that it's not a cream pie but pretty much an apple pie using bananas. I had a banana pie for my birthday. I'm not a fan of the pie but anything is better than having cake for one's birthday. I hate eating cake on my birthday!

The Hawaiian banana pie probably has it's origins from the Chinese. Most of the ones that I've seen were done in a Chinese style.
