As always, this place exceeded my expectations. Such a gem and excellent value. I never thought I would ever be excited about spring rolls. And the young coconut seafood curry is to die for.

We went here for the first time tonight - and my only question is why haven't we been here before? It was so good - and the owner Pam is just lovely. The food is amazing - and so much better than what we had previously gotten from other places as Thai takeout. We will definitely be back - and yes, they also do takeout!

Great food and cozy atmosphere. Smooth flavours and textures, high quality chicken meat on the plate.
The service is just alright. I found it a bit aggressive and awkward with jokes (I've been there three times and always served by the same woman). It would be nice if that were toned down a bit.

We went there for lunch, dropping in while shopping in the area. It was a very nice break. The restaurant felt clean, warm and relaxing. The service was very attentive and accommodating. The prices were very reasonable and serving sizes were perfect. The food was delicious and exceeded expectations. Presentation was very appetizing (see picture). It's a great choice for a meal and social meet-up. We'll surely be back to explore more of the menu.

We were in this neighbourhood after work, so we searched what was good here. We found this Thai restaurant with high rating and reviews, so we decided to come here for dinner.

When we walked into the restaurant, surprisingly there was only one table with two Japanese ladies. We thought there would be a lot of customers. The server (who was probably the owner of the restaurant) greeted us and said that it must be our first time to come here for dinner. Of course we said yes! We could grab any tables that we wanted. The server was very friendly and gave us a menu.

One of us ate something earlier, so we did not order too much. We ordered Jitlada fried rice with pork and Gaeng Daeng (curry) with chicken. We did not bother ordering a bowl of rice. We just ate Gaeng Daeng by itself. Both dishes of food tasted wonderful! The only thing we didn't like was the portion especially the dish of fried rice was very small. It gave me an impression of an high end Asian restaurant. The fried rice cost $14. Gaeng Daeng cost $16 without rice. We could have ordered the same curry dish in other neighbourhoods but it would come with rice.

The interior of the restaurant was very well designed. All the colours and decorations matched very well. The location of the restaurant is in Vancouver west. That's why the food cost more overall.

My conclusion is that if you wouldn't mind to pay a little more for smaller portions of the food, sure come try this restaurant and enjoy good environment, good interior design and good quality of food.

The owner is fantastic, so sweet and charming. The food is very good. I feel like the prices are a little high and on top of the dish you have to pay for a side of rice which adds to the cost.

The owner picks her ingredients fresh the morning of! Spring rolls are a must try and my go to dish is the green curry with chicken. Their thai ice tea is good but really really sweet (try dd mau for better ones)! Friendly service but you might have to wait for your food if it's super busy

I’ve been wanting to try Jitlada for a very long time… but, for whatever reason, we haven’t been able to find the time. We managed to finally drop by for a visit one evening in June and found that the place wasn’t too busy. We started out with a couple of Guava Juices – these drinks were nice and refreshing on a hot evening.

Best Thai food here in Vancouver! The taste is spot on speaking from somebody who is born and raised in Thailand. The service, especially from the Owner Pam, is amazing. She makes me feel right at home and is so kind and generous. She gave my friend and I a free dessert once which was a very nice gesture. Can't wait to go back!

I've only had the soup but I had tom yum at three different places last week and theirs was by far the tastiest. I will definitely be back for more!

Wow wow wow. Jitlada is now home. The presentation of their offerings are as pleasing to the eye as they are to the palate. A marvelous combination of tastes and textures not found elsewhere. Occasionally, Pam ( the warm and talented owner) will have a new creation that is not on the menu. Again, Jitlada can become a marvelous addiction. Well worth dining there again, and again.

Authentic Flavours - Very good Thai Food. One of the better Thai restaurants in town. Authentic and bold flavours. Highly recommend the Tom Yum Goon soup which is a combination of sweet, spicy, salty, sour. Green curry beef and Panang Chicken great flavours goes perfectly with steamed rice. Ask for the Thai Iced Milk tea which is not on the menu. Very clean restaurant although decor is not very "Thai" inspired. Owner and staff very warm & friendly. Highly recommended.

Searching for good Thai in Vancouver has been tough. Maenam is close but fusion doesn't hit a home run with me. Nothing quite matched Thai available in Calgary until I tried Jitlada. That have nailed it. I will be back. This is on par with the Calgary trifecta: chili club Thai, Kimg and I, Thai Sa-on. You will like this place!

Excellent Thai Food.. My boyfriend and I ate here on a weekday and have to say the food was exceptional. We ordered the vegetarian padthai and green curry for mains (springrolls for appetizer). The service was fantastic. Food came quickly.The lady that served us was super nice and the decor was lovely. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Excellent service and authentic food. My boyfriend and I randomly ended up here and I'm so happy we did! First, the wine list is great, especially for a Thai restaurant. We got a bottle of Joie Riesling for $35...Pretty fantastic considering you pay about $25 at a liquor store. The woman serving us was wonderful, as was the food. I would be back once a week if we still lived in the area!

The Return of GREAT Thai food to Vancouver!!. My partner and I were long-time customers of Montri's Restaurant on West Broadway until it closed about a year and a half ago. What a disappointing day THAT was! Since then we've tried other Thai places in the city but nothing compared. Actually, nothing even came close to the quality that we had come to know at Montri's. Long before it closed, two business partners had purchased the restaurant from Montri and had done a wonderful job with it. The food continued to be fantastic and the service level increased dramatically. One of the owners, Pam, has just opened Jitlada and my partner and I went for the first time a few nights ago. Wow, it was fantastic! My partner said "we're home". Everything was just like it was at Montri's including the fantastic hot sauce! Each dish was plentiful and delicious. The food quality is superb. As had been the case at Montri's, the produce was very fresh and the ingredients overall are of the highest quality. The pad thai was fantastic! Overall, the prices are very reasonable.

Jitlada is at the site of the former CRU restaurant (West Broadway right by Granville, across from Jordans Interiors). Pam has done a great job with the interior design. It has a very fresh, modern feel and the tables are comfortably spaced apart from each other. The service is cheerful and efficient (your water glass will never go empty for long).

We are thrilled that Pam is back in the Thai food business as the sole proprietor of this fantastic new restaurant. Vancouver has numerous Thai restaurants but we've found many to be mediocre at best.

It's not a big place and once people become aware of it AND addicted to it as we are, reservations will definitely be required.

ขอให้เจริญอาหาร! (I think that's "bon apetit" in Thai)

PS Since posting this, "gayaa" has posted saying "very disappointed, don't go". I looked at gayaa's five other reviews for other restaurants. Guess what? Every single one is rated as "doesn't like it". I don't think "gayaa" likes any restaurants, period. Jitlada's pad thai is fantastic, just as it was when made at Montri's. It's as good as it gets.

Overall, we had a satisfying dinner. A quaint Thai restaurant that boast authentic dishes and scrumptious options. Prices are typical and the pad thai is a little weak but overall, Jitlada offers a good experience.

At the old home of "Cru" now resides "Jitlada", a modern Thai restaurant, with traditional flavours. I called in a take out order, so was surprised how great the place looked when I came in to pick it up. It was empty now at a quarter past 5pm, the start of their dinner service. When full, I am certain the guests like where they are sitting. With a plain undecorated doorway and unsigned windows you may miss this place; except that you trip over the white sandwich board, printed on with black narrow font. Shame if you did, as once you get past the wall of a partition you can truly see how nice "Jitlada" looks. A view not visible from the door way, which may be a reason for less customers dining in. If can see in, how do you know you want to come in? The first thing that greets you is the most beautiful gold jeweled pedestal. On it sits a clear glass bowl. And in that floats a delicate, hand crafted purple lotus flower. It shines as it is back lit by a green spot light.   Everything is u

Jitlada,  a fairly new Thai Restaurant on Broadway. Their lunch and dinner menu are not very tempting to us but when we saw the signature menu, we were happy that we have tried Jitlada. Thai Milk Tea Trust me, Thai milk tea is becoming a new trend. We can see it at more and more places and it actually tastes good. Golden Angel Wings Stuffed chicken wings are quite common in Thai restaurants in Vancouver. However, it’s the best we have tried so far. The stuffings are firm and full. Pork, shrimps, carrots and glass noodles, etc. Both the display and the taste are satisfying. Gai Hor Bai Toey  It’s not bad. Neither tender nor tough. Hor Mok Talay It’s a must try! it’s rarely seen in most Thai menu here and when it appears on menu, they just use a coconut shell to pretend it’s hor mok most of the time. Jitlada’s  Hor Mok Talay is authentic, however. Very yummy and nice. Deep Fried Banana with Vanilla Ice Cream Freshly made. Not bad. Overall,  Jitlada  is pretty impressive. We love the chic

Operated out of a commissary kitchen so only offer takeout and delivery. Ordered online to pick up at a scheduled time. Authentic dishes with balanced flavours. Not as salty and oily as some other Thai restaurants. Portions were adequate for the two of us. Worth a try!

This is my go-to Thai restaurant when doing take-out. They make the most amazing gluten-free pad thai, so flavourful and the medium spicy is the perfect amount of spice for me. They often throw in a free rice pudding which I devour, so good!

You can really tell a Thai spot's chops by how well they do their vegetarian pad thai, and Jitlada takes the cake for me. It's my favorite spot in Vancouver. Their service is also fantastic; kind and efficient staff.

Came to Jitlada to show my friend this amazing restaurant. I've been to Jitlada before and because of the amazing service and quality food, I keep coming back with different people. Every person I've brought to this place has had great experiences with the food and service. I usually order the Cashew Nut Chicken because it has become my favourite dishes. Portions and flavours for the chicken are good and the chicken is moist. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes quality food and good service.

A very tiny and dim place. Can be loud and you can hear what other tables are talking. Good food but don't expect big portions. I ordered the Hor Mok Talay and it was tasty seafood curry. Free parking is not easy to find. We ended up parking in the neighbourhood a few blocks away.
