Si Laa

One of the most memorable meals I've had in recent memory.Very pricey, but for a special occasion Si Laa is it. The Hidden Treasures are absolutely stunning. The perfect bite of succulent seafood bursting with Thai-inspired flavors. After that as an appetizer, it can't get much better right?But then I tried the green short rib curry. The umami and rich spices were unlike any other curry I've tried. The short rib pieces were plentiful, tender, and juicy. I'm going to have a hard time trying anything else on the menu after this.You probably couldn't anticipate the sheer wonders that emerge from the kitchen just by stepping inside. It's a no-frills establishment aesthetically and service-wise. But if you like Thai food, seafood, or even just food, I implore you to give Si Laa a chance.Will be returning.

Needed a late dinner and thankfully Si Laa was open until 9 pm. Now, we took a big risk because their menu did not have any prices listed online. Food we got and their ratings:Papaya Salad: 1/5, lacks flavorGarlic Chicken: 5/5, everyone enjoyed the dish - it was super flavorful but just enough to not overwhelm someoneHidden Treasure: 4/5, small seeving size but the sauce was really goodPad Thai: 4/5, loved the nuttiness in the noodlesIt was definitely really pricey for the small amount of food we got. For four dishes, we were expecting more servings and for $100+.

I like this place because it is authentic Thai food. The reason for three stars is: Expensive, small portions, they charged extra for tiny dish of chili, not bigger than a quarter! I am paying so much for the food why charge for chili?TACKY.............Where I sat I could see smears of red on the wall, chairs are not clean.difficult to find street parking. The service was questionable we had to askover and over again before we got want was needed.

Showed up for my Valentines and the service was remarkable. The Crispy roasted duck was by far our favorite dish. It is twice roasted for extra crispiness. We ordered the Spicy Crab noodles, wontons for starter, and Crispy Roasted Duck. We ate the food family style and i would recommend doing the same. we think the noodle paired well with the duck because we were able to get full. I ordered mild for noodles, but I wish I got medium spice. I think the place is very romantic and cozy. it had a nice casual romantic evening type of vibe. The business is family owned and they were very attentive towards us. i liked the wine carafes, we were able to share that and enjoy ourselves. The pinot noir was delicious.

Everything was delicious but portions are small! 6 dishes + 4 desserts for 6 people was not enough food. Left wanting more but it took a while for the food to arrive so it wasn't worth ordering more.We ordered:Appetizer:-Green papaya salad (good, not great)Vegetables:-Bok Choy (yum!!)-Eggplant (double yum!)Mains:-Devil noodles (tofu instead of beef and the tofu was great! Fried to perfection)-Short rib green curry (delicious, my personal favorite dish, but serves 1 realistically)-Pad thai (a staple, done well)Dessert:-Coconut ice cream (amazing texture - topped with puffed rice)-Mango sticky rice (heavenly but nothing out of the ordinary and $16 is above average pricing IMO)-Lychee ($9 for canned lychee is also overpriced IMO but for people who haven't had it, might be worth the splurge)-Roti (would pass on this next time... essentially roti pan fried and topped with icing)We also ordered ginger and garlic rice that never came.Drinks: My friends ordered a mix of jasmine tea and thai tea. No complaints!

I had no idea that this was a hidden gem that was in the neighborhood. We tried the "Hidden treasures" that came in a unique plate that had 7 individual circles. In each one was shrimp and blue crab with Thai basil, Keffir lime in a chili coconut sauce. That was $25 for the appetizer. For our main course we chose the Branzino, which was $41. That is definitely in my top three. I absolutely love Branzino. It was crispy and flavorful. Next we ate the Pad See You. These wide noodles are delicious with the short rib and cost $23. Glad we finally got to try this upscale Thai restaurant.

We ordered the chicken wrap satay, crispy fish, devils noodles, beans, two kinds of rice, sweet rice & mango... everything tasted amazing... the menu was same as Talesai, & i loved talesai.. the service was exceptional and the ambience is quaint, clean and cozy.. we truly enjoyed the evening with friends and good, delicious Thai food !

My friend and I had dinner here tonight (May 31, 2024)I am very taken a back by this restaurant. We had just received our bill and paid, and shortly thereafter we were asked to leave. The waiter said he needed the table. Of note, there was another table open per observation. I have never been asked to leave so quickly after paying, or for that matter ever been asked to leave. On another note the food was only mediocre and the portions are very small. The prices are high for the quantity of food served. I won't be returning anytime soon and I used to like this restaurant.

Quaint Simple Bistro style Thai restaurant. Food was good. No particular dish that stood out for me. Enjoyed the hidden treasures and the creamy flavourful sauce it was sitting in. Chicken larb with lettuce wrap was vibrant, refreshing, and well balanced - enjoyed the different textures. Duck was tasty - roti is a fantastic accompaniment . Menu reads duck is "twice cooked" I'm assuming it was previously cooked and then re-cooked for serving. Honestly, good service, balanced flavours, just over priced for small "shareable" dishes (LA is just expensive in general). I would frequent this place if prices were more reasonable. It's homemade Thai dishes with upscale DTLA restaurant prices.

First, service was fantastic.Had the papaya salad and steak skewers to start. The salad was nice, light and cleansing. The skewers were super tender and the peanut sauce was a nice addition. Picked veg A+Had the crispy duck next - brace yourself. This was phenomenal. Super tender, yet crispy. A little fatty as expected. The sauce that paired with it was super umami and delicious. The roti and Chinese broccoli were excellent as well. 12/10The devil noodles were super tasty. Could have used a little more heat and sauce! But meat was super tender. The vegetables were fresh. Noodles perfectly cooked. 9.5/10Would definitely come back. Highly recommend!
