What People Are Saying About Jitalda Restaurant
The Editor
Martha Burr
Citysearch
The Scene – Never mind the strip joint and 99-cent store across the street. Jitlada boasts attractive decor and two elegant dining rooms for savvy diners who want to go beyond basic pad Thai and satay. – – The Food – Pick and choose from the lengthy menu. Dishes here can be uneven, but the treasures are well worth the search. Seafood is your best bet, starting with a steaming hot pot soup filled with mussels, shrimp, fish and squid, and complemented by lemongrass, lime, herbs and chili. Squid salad bathes delightfully in citrus and red onion, but the beef salad is…

Great food -- But, uh oh, the service is getting bad
by dvoetberg
We went to Jitlada on Friday, February 20, 2009. The service was very bad. In that way that LA restaurants become well known and the service starts acting like you're intruding on them. Not good. Orders were getting confused. Arrogant main waitress, etc.
- Pros: best Thai food
- Cons: Service

Best Thai Food in Los Angeles (Maybe even Thailand!)
by amandaco
Wow. What a friendly fantastic restaurant! Definitely the most authentic Thai food in all of Los Angeles. Stick to the specialties - you will find a translated menu of the specialty Southern dishes on the last page. The southern curry is incredible - truly the right kind of heat, very hot, very flavorful - it's the real deal. We also tried the deep fried fish with sweet chili sauce, a perfect pairing! Reminded us of our trip to Phuket and all the fantastic seafood we enjoyed there. So tuck in with an ice cold Chang beer and enjoy!
- Pros: Incredible food!
- Cons: It's popular so make a reservation!

Friendliest place in town-- the most authentic Thai you will find
by lmo1823
Proprietor Jazz is one of the sweetest people I've met! Be sure to ask for her. I was there last night to find some crazy authentic southern Thai food-- I found it. The mango, shrimp and cashew salad was excellent. If you seek spicy food, this is the place to go. If you seek authentic ethnic food, this is the place to go. Don't be put off by the strip mall location.
- Pros: Seafood dishes, spicy factor, AMAZING service
