Jitlada Restaurant Review:



About the restaurant: This cozy restaurant in an East Hollywood mini-mall stays true to authentic Thai cooking, serving rarely-seen specialties since the late 1970s. Chef Sarintip "Jazz" Singsanong, and her brother, Suthiporn "Tui" Sungkamee, took ownership in 2006.

Food & Drinks: The menu includes southern Thai specialties like steamed green mussels in spicy lemon grass broth, deep-fried whole sea bass showered in garlic, and fried soft-shell crab in fiery gravy. Rice salad is a cult favorite. More standard dishes, like pad see ew, satay and fried rice, are also available. Spice levels may be adjusted to your liking (and can be quite incendiary). Desserts include mango sticky rice and fried banana with coconut ice cream. Wine, sake and Thai beers are available.
