LA Michelin-Starred Thai Food | Jitlada 🍛✨

This is a really delicious Southern Thai restaurant! I personally think it's a bit tastier than Ruen Pair 😉 But the portions are on the smaller side. Three of us ordered five dishes... We cleaned every plate 🍽️ But still didn’t feel totally full! The vibe in this cozy spot is super warm and welcoming. We walked in without a reservation, but when we left, there was a long line outside! 🚶♀️👫🚶 🐂 21 Crying Tiger - Beef Really tasty grilled beef strips! The beef has a slight sweetness to it, and when you dip it in the provided sauce, it gets an extra kick of spice 🌶️ Some pieces were a bit fatty, but the sauce made it all feel refreshing. 🦐 132. Flambe Prawns Tiger prawns grilled in coconut milk — very rich coconut flavor 🥥 But only two prawns (cut in half)... The shrimp meat wasn’t super springy, but still flavorful. 🥗 172. Morning Glory Stir-fried water spinach! A bit on the oily side, but the sauce had a subtle sweetness. The greens were cut pretty small — easy to eat. 🐟 160. Three Flavored Fish Made with sea bass — probably the best dish of the meal! The fish skin was fried super crispy, and the meat came off the bone easily 🐟💯 No fishy taste at all. We ordered a small one… Definitely not enough to share! The only downside: the fish was slightly tougher than river fish, but maybe that’s just how sea bass is. 🐷 107. Jungle Curry Crispy Pork A spicy curry soup 🍲🌶️ It’s got some heat! Inside: crispy pork belly and veggies. The vegetables tasted especially fresh and sweet against the rich curry. 🧋 Thai Iced Tea Their version felt richer and creamier — more milky than others I’ve tried! 🥤❤️ 💰 Total came to $155 before tip. 🅿️ Parking is tricky — they offer valet but spaces are limited. Have you been to Jitlada? What’s your favorite Thai dish there?
