Si Laa Thai Dining — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Si Laa is a fantastic Thai restaurant experience with a great mastery of taste and spices that will leave you wanting more.

We ordered the dumplings while I also ordered the short rib. Five dumplings are served which portion-wise, seem pretty small. Nevertheless, you have to love the spice and kick each one has. It has enough of a different taste to really intrigue you. The short rib was pretty amazing. The short rib itself melts in your mouth. Delicious. The green curry it comes in is also delicious and has a nice zest and spice. You have to also appreciate the pancakes it comes with. I do wish the portions were slightly bigger for the price you pay but the taste makes it worth it. They also have a variety of traditional Thai dishes like the pad see ew along with beer/Thai iced tea/wine and salads.

Parking is done on the street level. The decor is clean and simple and the servers are very kind.

Si Laa is highly recommended to any Thai fan and anyone seeking a slightly different...

Si Laa is the golden standard of authentic Thai cuisine, and I am giving my highest recommendation possible!

The menu covers an amazing amount of territory, and everything I’ve tried has been ungodly delicious. From the Hidden Treasures appetizer (prawns/shrimp, blue crab meat, coconut curry) to something as simple as the Garlic and Ginger fried rice (convinced this could be the answer to World Peace), one can appreciate that every dish was undoubtedly prepared with care and attention.

At the end of the meal, we were greeted by the executive chef, and I must say, she is the epitome of the American dream. Legend has it that Leonardo DiCapario and Keanu Reeves are regulars here - if it’s good enough for these guys, it’s good enough for me!

Whilst some restaurant cut corners, I admire that Si Laa has kept true to form in pushing the envelope for how Thai food should be served. 5/5

Y’all have a...

Just tried Si Laa for the first time. Fantastic! Taking off one star because, as other reviewers have mentioned, the prices are high and the portions are small compared to many Thai restaurants. But you're paying for the fanciness of the place. It's pretty upscale.

We ordered the chicken larb, crispy duck, and garlic ginger rice. Everything was delicious and on point, particularly the larb which came with the most perfect Romaine lettuce leaves. Where did this pristine lettuce come from in the middle of February?

We'll definitely be back to try the branzino. One of those went by and it looked amazing.

The place is very small, so make a reservation. There's a second room attached to the main dining room, but it was empty and looked like it's never used (maybe they're still working on it). I hope they do expand, because they seem to have enough business to fill the space, and...
