Customer Reviews
Had a chance to have lunch at Jitlada. They have an extensive menu. We were very happy with the food that we ordered. We had the Pad Thai Tamarind Sauce with Mixed Seafood. It was the best Pad Thai we've tasted. Their Garlic Red Snapper is so flavorful. The Garlic Soft Shell Crabs has a nice crunch. Service was very good. We will be back to try their other dishes.
Jitlada is my new favorite Thai restaurant in town! Yes, it is a bit on the pricey side, but the taste is worth it - and a lot of people seem to agree with that based on the huge popularity. On Thursday around 6pm had to wait about 30 minutes to get a seat, and when I was done, there were even more people waiting in line. The yellow curry with prawn and morning glory was the best, crabmeat fried rice, oxtail soup, and the fried fish were outstanding. Parking is extremely limited, and the serving staff could be more organized, but overall it was worth the wait. Would definitely visit again.
Jitlada is situated in the heart of Thai town in a small complex with a limited number of parking spaces. The restaurant was very busy (at lunchtime) and for good reason. It's no frills in terms of decor and the seating is, shall we say, intimate. The service too, is no frills, but absolutely adequate. Most importantly, the food is great. Having lived in southeast Asia for 35 years I'm fussy about Asian food and especially Thai food, one of my absolute faves. I would definitely go back to Jitlada if I had the chance - everything ticked the boxes. We ordered yellow wings (rather different from what we expected and know from Thailand but still decent), green chicken curry (great), pad thai, morning glory and unfortunately we were in a rush and so didn't have time for desserts
My daughter and I visited here in September. Jonathan Gold reviewed it a few years ago. It is still a great restaurant! Good plantain fritters a la mode
