The 12 Best Restaurants in East Hollywood | Eater LA

"Jitlada made its mark on the local food scene when Suthiporn “Tui” Sungkamee and his sister Jazz Singsanong acquired the restaurant in 2006 and introduced a supplemental menu focused on the country’s southern specialties. (Sungkamee passed away in 2017.) The Thai-language southern Thai menu, chock-full of sweat-inducing hits, was eventually translated into English and captured the palates of local and national food media. Every meal at Jitlada should begin with an order of New Zealand mussels swimming in an aromatic lemongrass broth before settling into a crispy catfish or crying tiger salad. The off-menu Jazz burger served on iceberg lettuce never disappoints." - Rebecca Roland
