LA Must-Try! The Celebrity-Loved Thai Spot Even Blackpink Visited π€
This Los Angeles Thai restaurant once held a Michelin star and has been visited by countless celebrities β Blackpink included! The place feels charmingly vintage, with walls covered in awards and press clips. The menu is massive β Jitladaβs menu is like a textbook, with over 300 dishes, making it one of the most diverse Thai spots in LA. π¦ Must-try Southern Thai Curry Crab β spicy, fragrant, and packed with fresh crab meat in rich coconut curry sauce. So good youβll lick your fingers! π Crab Fried Rice β wok-fried to perfection, each grain dry yet springy β similar to Cantonese-style egg fried rice in its βwok heiβ glory. π₯ Fried Water Spinach Salad β a signature dish, tangy and addictive. π¦ Tiger Shrimp & Mango Salad β not your typical mango salad; the mango is fried, crispy with a sweet-sour sauce. Tasty, but a bit similar to the water spinach salad β maybe pick one. π₯ Mango Sticky Rice β decent but not mind-blowing. The Thai sticky rice had a nice chew, but the mango (Mexican variety) wasnβt very sweet. Overall β we ordered a lot and finished everything! The food is flavorful, lively, and feels slightly adapted to American tastes (more frying, sweeter sauces). Worth revisiting! We went before 6 PM on a weekend and got seated right away β though tables are cozy and space is tight. π Jitlada Restaurant 5233 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90027 #LifeInTheUS #ThaiFood #FoodKnowsNoBorders #LAEats #EatAroundTheWorld #LosAngeles
