Authentic Thai street food, famous for crispy rice salad
"Open since 1984, Sri Siam has been serving dishes like papaya salad, boat noodles, and khao soi long before you could easily find them outside of Thai Town. But aside from its historical standing, this North Hollywood Thai restaurant also makes incredible food. We suggest the crispy rice salad, the panang curry, and the off-menu radish cakes. Then sit with your feast and watch Wheel of Fortune on the TV in the corner, and don’t be surprised if your server (i.e. the owner) pulls up a chair next to you and starts chatting—that’s just how things are done here." - brant cox, sylvio martins
"Greetings from the most important Thai restaurant you might never have heard of. Located on the outer fringes of North Hollywood, Sri Siam has been around for more than 30 years and is considered royalty among many of the city's veteran Thai cooks. That crispy rice salad that blew your mind over at Night + Market? Sri Siam’s been doing their version since the ’80s. Also, don’t be surprised if your server (i.e., the owner) pulls up a chair next to you and starts chatting—that’s just how things are done here. The grilled beef salad, fully loaded shrimp paste fried rice, and sweet-salty chicken wings are all knock-outs, but the best thing here is the off-the-menu radish cakes. Don't leave without at least one order." - brant cox, arden shore, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"This tiny North Hollywood staple is one of the most overlooked Thai restaurants in LA. And while pretty much everything on the menu is fantastic, you shouldn’t leave without ordering the crispy rice salad. They’ve been serving it here since the 1980s (long before you became obsessed with the one at Night + Market), and for good reason—this minty, slightly spicy classic is worth the drive every time." - brant cox, cathy park, sylvio martins, arden shore
"Located in a North Hollywood mini-mall, this family-owned restaurant has been serving authentic Thai cuisine for 30 years. The menu features khao soi, nam tok, and reasonably priced lunch specials, including panang curry and pad see ew. (The crispy rice salad is an absolute must-order on every visit.) An unfussy dining room and friendly, relaxed service seal the deal." - Mona Holmes
"Open since 1984, Sri Siam is one of the oldest Thai restaurants in LA, and your best bet if you’re craving Thai food around North Hollywood. Their crispy rice salad is the stuff of legend, and if you ask nicely enough, they’ll probably throw in some incredible, off-menu radish cakes to your order as well. Delivery and takeout are both available by calling the restaurant at (818) 982-6161 or (818) 982-6262." - brant cox
