Jitladala - Los Angeles, CA

Named after the royal palace in Bangkok, Jitlada opened in the late ’70s and quickly earned an enthusiastic following among food lovers both Thai and otherwise.

In 2006, Sarintip “Jazz” Singsanong and her brother Suthiporn “Tui” Sungkamee, acquired Jitladala. They left the old menu more or less intact while upgrading the quality of the cooking and also added a sub-menu of about 40 home-style southern Thai specialties.

Word of this treasure trove of unusual dishes soon spread and customers started arriving at Jitlada anxious to try exotic-sounding fare they’d probably never heard of before.
