A very unique Thai restaurant that’s a cut above most others. Had the Jazz burger, which was originally made by the owner as an American-Thai dish for her children. It was very good and quite the experience. Would definitely come back again to try out more items on their massive menu.

Incredibly extensive menu. It's a bit overwhelming. I think the best bet is to stick to the green menu instead of the white menu. You can get Pad Thai at any Thai restaurant, you come to Jitlada to try the Southern Thai food...which is the green menu. The food is good and consistent and consistently good. It's a pretty small place so it can feel cramped sometimes, but think of it as part of the charm. The beer is always cold.

We got the Pumpkin Red Snapper ($24.95) and the Green Tiger Prawns ($33.95), and asked for less spicy. The sauces were a little spicy for me, but I was still able to eat it. The pumpkin red snapper was tasty, although it seemed like it had a lot of batter. There wasn’t a lot of fish pieces. The green tiger prawns come with 5 pieces, and it was super tender. I also enjoyed this curry because it was slightly sweet. The menu is very extensive here, so lots of options. Overall enjoyed the dishes, but they were quite pricey for the size.

Maybe I came on an unfortunate night, but I was less than impressed with Jitlada.We ordered four entrees for four people, family style, with two sides of rice. The eggplant and salmon curry was good. The padthai arrived half an hour after all the other dishes, and was definitely sub par, and the Crying Tiger pork was to cry for because of the scarcity of the portion (also the lack of spices, it clearly didn’t take much to make that tiger cry).Overall the food was not impressive and the quantity was something short of satisfactory. After four entrees we were all still pretty hungry. I would not call the place expensive, but the value for money was still very low.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jitlada Restaurant and it was an experience I won't soon forget. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the evening.The Pad Thai Tamarind (Vegetarian) customized with fried tofu (without egg), was an absolute delight. Each bite was bursting with flavor, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The Vegetable Fried Rice (without egg) was equally impressive, with its vibrant colors and fresh ingredients tantalizing my taste buds with every forkful.My husband couldn't resist trying the Koong Pear (Shrimp) and it's easy to see why it's one of the restaurant's most popular dishes. The crispy exterior gave way to succulent shrimp, enveloped in a delicious coconut and basil coating that left us craving more.I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the owner, Jazz Singsanong, for creating such a welcoming and delicious dining experience. Her passion for her restaurant and dedication to providing top-notch cuisine was evident in every aspect of our visit. Jazz is truly a wonderful lady and her presence adds an extra layer of warmth and hospitality to an already exceptional dining establishment.Overall, our experience at Jitlada was nothing short of outstanding. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu offerings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food and genuine hospitality.

Simply excellent, but seriously consider whether you can handle an authentic level of spice. Eating was a masochistic delight, but I hazard there wasn't a stomach from our table that went home happy that night.Vegetarian options: I think there's a good number of options. The staff is adaptive, and the menu is enormous.Dietary restrictions: I was happy with how mh gluten/lactose allergies were handled.Parking: valet is expensive and limited, but there's a big parking lot across the street that is available after all its stores close.Kid-friendliness: Do they like thai food? There's nothing special for them, but the food is tasty.Wheelchair accessibility: I think it would be slightly difficult, especially the bathroom.
Thai is my favorite food, been to countless different Thai restaurants. I had moderate expectations, and was slightly underwhelming.Ok I'll get straight to it. We ordered:#1 Tom kah soup.... 2 out of 5 stars. the wild was wayyyy too spicy. And it had tomatoes in it... I love when they use cabbage, I don't know if I've ever seen tomatoes.#2 crispy duck spring rolls. 1.5 out of 5 stars. Duck was burnt and super dry and way too "crispy". And there was not much of it, very little compared to the veggies.#3 Thai basil (popular ground chicken entree) 2 out of 5 and was also very spicy as ordered specifically "mild" decent flavor.#4 pad Thai 4 out of 5 stars. It was good, solid. thankfully the best dish. The chicken was on the spot tender and moist. I would have sent the soup and Thai basil back if I wasn't with my girlfriend.#5 price is pretty high even for the "reputation"

We were a group of 8 , and waited 11/2 to be seated. They kept seating at least 10 smaller groups that came after us instead of putting two tables and seating us. Finslly, once the food came it was a huge disappointment..bland and tasteless. I have been to the south of Thailand many times,, and I promise you this food was bland.. They also made errors with our bill, so make sure to check. Overall , a very disappointing experience

They had a huge order when we were there so the service was pretty slow and the server didn't check in on us after we got our food until we asked for the check. One item was forgotten by us and them and it wasn't on the bill, thankfully. Would go again but would hope they don't have a huge order distracting several employees at the same time.Vegetarian options: There are lots of dishes that can be made vegetarian by subbing animal proteins with tofu. They taste good too!Wheelchair accessibility: First/ground floor parking and entrance. Easy to access. You'd want to try to call ahead so they can save a more comfortable table for the wheelchair with a little bit more room.
Jitlada. Hold onto your hats this place is great. The menu is quite extensive, so look into the popular items beforehand to prevent analysis paralysis.
