Best Thai food in San Francisco!

by khaaw

As a former resident of Thailand and one constantly on the road, I'm always looking for good Thai food. Since moving to the city and trying 10 other SFO Thai establishments, it's safe to say Jitlada is the best by far. Not only is the food great, but the staff too, especially Khun Phai the chef. This is real Thai food!

Best thai we ever had

by tmalyutin

Every time we are visiting SF we make sure to have a meal at this little lovely restaurant. The food there is realy outstanding. The combinations of flavors are amasing. The presentation of the dishes is very tastfull, the service is attentive and friendly and the ambiance is simple but cozy. We always have great and relaxing time at Jiltada. If I lived in SF I'd go there at least once a week. Very effordable and very delicious.

• Pros: food, service, value
• Cons: none

My favorite Thai place in SF

by flyingrooster

This is my vote for best Thai restaurant in the city. The head chef Pai is charming and the food quality and presentation is both pleasant and memorable. I always have a good time here with friends.

The appetizers are actually some of my favorites bar none. The ginger spring rolls and stuffed basil eggplant are always on my must have list. These days I am partial to the banana leaf trout dinner. Thumbs up!

• Pros: Charming size restaurant. Not too big or crowded. Not too small. Cozy fun!
• Cons: Parking is street or Japan town mall.

DELICIOUS & FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT TO DINE

by tslconnection

I definitely will recommend Jitlada to anyone that wants to try unique Thai cuisine. It was one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever tried in the city. One of my favorite appetizer was the ginger shrimp spring rolls and the sleeping bag..yum! It is not those order me Pad Thai type of restaurants...it is a different atmosphere you can dine with your partner, friends or family. Chef Pai is the greatest and puts all her effort in all her dishes she presents out to each table.

• Pros: Ginger Shrimp egg rolls & Sleeping Bag

Consistently Great Food

by sdepaoli2

I have been here a number of times and the food has been consistently great. The location is a little off the beaten path (actually only a few blocks off of Fillmore) but don't let that deter you.

Not only is the food great but alot of thought has been put into the presentation of the food and the service. Highly recommended.

Tasty Thai

by katiemenzel

Jitlada was delicious. My dad and I were house hunting in San Francisco, and since he had never really had Thai before we decided to give the place a try. The appetizers were delicious (soft-shell crab and "wrap me up" lettuce wraps), and my green curry was excellent. My dad had the Jitlada steak, which he was very impressed by. A fried banana with coconut ice cream was a great dessert . . . I'd recommend Jitlada to anyone because of the mixture of traditional Thai dishes and creative modern dishes.

• Pros: Delicious food, creative options
• Cons: Closed on Mondays

Unique establishment - excellent food, style and service

One of the best Thai places I have ever visited while roaming the world. You come once, you will be back again - trust me. Check it out yourself when you get about to it.

Love, love love Jitlada!

by ruby11

I have discovered Jitlada some time ago and I believe it to be the most incredible Thai place in town. Every visit is marked with excellent food served in a warm, inviting environment. Anyone visiting has got to try the chef-special mango salad!!!

• Pros: Excellent food, prompt service, wonderful atmosphere
• Cons: Parking can be tricky

Are you kidding?

by drjekyl

If this is the best Thai in San Francisco...that is very disappointing. The pad thai was probably the worst we've ever had. Tasted like box noodles with ragu pasta sauce. The ginger shrimp egg rolls were tasty, but didn't make up for a below average meal. Would not send anyone I liked to this restaurant.

• Pros: ginger shrimp rolls
• Cons: food, price
