Jitlada Thai Restaurant

Hand down one of the best meals I've ever had in my life. Absolutely amazing Thai dishes from a restaurant that's been around longer than most of their customers! Reasonably prices and friendly staff. They have an expansive and somewhat intimidating menu with over 180 items, but I'm certain that whatever you order will be delicious. The morning glory salad and crispy duck spring rolls are a must try and some of the best dishes I've ever eaten. They always seem to be busy so be sure to come early as they don't take reservations and the wait list is posted outside.

Really amazing Thai food! Everything we ordered was so tasty, but the yellow curry was SO GOOD. I have no idea what they did to the potatoes in it but my friends and I were in awe, probably some of the best potatoes I've had. They were so soft and buttery and honestly if I wasn't so full I would've ordered another round of yellow curry...

Jitlada is a must try, not just due to Jonathan Gold's historic review, but that alone should give you an idea of what to expect here. The food might not be 'exactly' what you're typically used to, but it is truly authentic to the region, southern spicy Thai! And it is delicious. What's also authentic is the Thai contentment, happiness and general Land of Smiles service you're sure to receive. And I'm upgrading my atmosphere assessment to five stars. Why? Well again, it kind of just replicates being somewhere in Thailand. Not fancy but genuine.

This place made me feel like family. They also didn't rush me to make a decision leaving me time to look at the menu. The owner came around and told me what she just made last night, and she also told me about watching her grandson. I felt like a real valued customer. They also have a specific server in charge of refilling water, which I appreciated. I ordered the Jitlada salad, a yellow curry with crispy pork, and the mango curry with sticky rice. All of these things were at the recommendation of my server. I narrowed down the options for him and asked him to surprise me. I was so pleasantly surprised! Never have I had a better mango sticky rice! Also perhaps the best curry I've ever experienced. Go to this place. Wait if you have to. It's worth leaving your little corner of LA to have some of the best Thai food available in this country.

A great place to grab some Thai food. The stir fried noodle is super delicious. Very well-seasoned sauce and the noodle soaked up the sauce nicely. Ox tail is well-cooked. The dish looks like it is spicy, but not really, only a little. The roll is interesting; kinda like a fusion dish imo. It is dipped in a honey mustard + hot sauce sauce. Tastes pretty good! I couldn't really taste the hot pot because it is way too spicy - they put so many types of chilli in. Watch out and think before you order this. I bet it is good if you can handle the heat. Thai tea is yummy!

This was my first time in the restaurant. I've been eating their food as take out. I loved the duck fried rice. This time my daughter invited me out to eat there. We ordered many dishes. The one that was memorable to us was the Seafood fried rice. It was delicious. We ordered the pork, mussels, wings. Some of the food came out cold. We had to wait a long time to order and to get our food. The servers are extremely nice. I don't think I want to return for just 1 dish. The parking is a nightmare. If you find one you are extremely lucky. The tables are very small and close to each other. I have to say the vibe that night was nice. I would rather take mine to go.

We really tried to like this place. As an Asian Australian who is spoilt with Thai food in Sydney. We had high hopes for this place from all the reviews and LA YouTube vloggers but was sadly let down for the following dishes we had. Pad See Ew was a little sloppy and the noodles had absolutely no char on it, which is a must for any good Pad See Ew. Beef Larb was cooked and dry, flavourful from the fish sauce. Jungle Curry with Pork ribs chosen from the owners recommendation, as we wanted to taste their speciality. Spice level was great however it was far too salty bordering on straight fish sauce. Mango sticky rice, I ordered this in hopes of a redemption, but was even more disappointed. The sticky rice was loose and resembled rice porridge. It required more time to allow it absorb the coconut sauce which we did ourselves by mixing it through and letting it sit for a few minutes. The mango was VERY sour, I did not understand why they would serve this dish if they knew the mangos weren't ripe? We couldn't finish this dish. When mangos are not in season, most restaurants back home would typically not serve this dessert. For anyone visiting from Sydney, Australia. Save your stomachs for something else because I can almost guarantee you've had better back home. For those two know, this is Thai Pathong and Holy Basil prices for a lot less quality.

Very impressed with the offerings and qualities at Jitlada. Even with the recent change to takeout-only, it was still a special meal and well worth the 30 minute drive. I ordered a Tom Yum soup, spring rolls, and Thai iced tea with boba, which came out quickly for a lunch order. I'm excited to come back with friends and order more dishes, as everything I had was delicious and full of flavor!

Love the southern curry with crispy pork. The crying Tiger beef is amazing. I’ve eaten here probably fifty times since 2017 and the highlight was getting an off menu jazz burger from jazz herself :
