Where To Take Your Westside Friends Who Never Want To Come To The Eastside - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Jitlada is one of the best restaurants in LA. It’s also one that - for no apparent reason - a lot of people still haven’t heard of, especially if they live west of the 405. This Thai Town spot gets visitors from around the country, so a drive across the city on Sunset is nothing. It’s best to come with a group that’s not afraid of spice, so you can go big with your order and split everything. And by everything, we specifically mean the crispy catfish salad, the Jazz Burger (it’s not on the menu, but if you ask for it, they’ll make it for you), the pad Thai, the Jungle Curry, and about four rounds of Tsingtao." - brett keating
