    Spring Summer Rolls
    Yvonne B.

    One of my favorite restaurants in Silver Lake. If you're looking for a vibey outdoor patio with lights, heat lamps, and space to freely chat and hang, this is it. The cherry on top is definitely the food and the service. The staff are super attentive and sweet. As for the food, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Large portions, affordable, and they even have an extensive vegan menu. I loved their summer roll, khao soi, and pad Thai with tofu. Everything was brought out promoting and filled with flavor. I couldn't even pick my favorite dish! If you're walking around Silver Lake Reservoir, be sure to stop here for a delicious time!

    This place is always busy and for good reason. The ambiance here is perfect for the neighborhood, you feel like you're eating at someone's home and not a sterile restaurant. The interior decor is quaint and reflects Thai trinket culture. The garden is a serene place for dinner despite being roadside - it really feels like an escape. The menu has all the classics. I really liked the pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and the tom kha is on the sour side (which I really like). Service can be a little slow since they're so busy, so expect to have a leisurely meal.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how authentic this Thai cuisine is. All staff appear to be Thai and the menu is extensive. They had a waitlist but it went quickly and we were seated inside the small dining room. There are lots of seating options, including two enclosed porches and the sidewalk. The outdoor seating has heat lamps. Friendly, efficient service (although they did not come by to check on us after the food was dropped) and tasty dishes.

    Silver Lake House by Leela Thai is one of those places that gets everything right. The service is amazing from the moment you sit down. The aesthetic and outdoor dining area are so relaxing, and being surrounded by all the plants makes the meal feel even more special. It is genuinely one of the most comfortable spots to eat in Silver Lake, and the atmosphere somehow makes the food taste even better. Everything I tried was phenomenal. The Pad Thai Boran was packed with flavor and had perfect noodle consistency, plus the portions are huge. The egg rolls were fantastic and came out crispy and flavorful. The yellow curry ramen was something I had never tried before, and it completely blew me away. The flavors were bold, unique, and unforgettable. This is easily one of my favorite Thai restaurants in LA. If you want great food, great service, and an unbelievably calming dining experience, this place is a must

    If you want metal in your food, come here! Be cautious eating here and check your food for metal.

    Lately, I stop by this restaurant every time I take my dog to run around at Silver Lake Dog Park. They have outdoor seating in front of the restaurant as well as a garden area inside, making it a very dog-friendly place where you can bring your pets along. As for the food, my favorite dish here is the Pad See Ew. The flavor is perfectly balanced--not too salty and not too sweet. Another dish I really enjoy is the Khao Soi. Since it's summer, I usually go for a run in the morning and take my dog for a walk in the evening, so I'm sure I'll be stopping by here even more often. It's become one of my favorite places to relax and enjoy a great meal with my furry companion.

    Silverlake House by Leela Thai is a long-established restaurant that I've been visiting since the days when it was still known as Leela Thai over 20 years ago. The restaurant has been beautifully renovated, the food is even better than before, the service is excellent, and it's always busy with customers. One of the things I love most is the atmosphere at night. When the lights come on, the restaurant looks absolutely beautiful and creates a warm, inviting ambiance. I come here often with friends, and every visit leaves me impressed. This is definitely one of the restaurants in Los Angeles that I highly recommend. If you're looking for authentic Thai food, great service, and a wonderful dining experience, Silverlake House by Leela Thai is well worth a visit.

    I absolutely love the ambience here!! I recommend reserving seats outside the by the tree GORGEOUS. The food was well done too highly recommend ‍

    We ordered several items and they were good. I particularly liked the green tea boba and fried pork.

    Combination Fried Rice!
    Steven M.

    Had my first ever trip to The Silver Lake House by Leela Thai a few weeks back and I was completely blown away by the whole experience. We met some friends here around 7:00PM and after a super short wait, got seated in the beautiful patio area. The menu here is a best of list for Thai food and has pretty much everything you could possibly want from desert or dinner to appetizers and salads. My wife and I decided to split an order of the Lettuce Wraps with Tofu as well as an order of the Combination Fried rice. Let's cut the small talk and get into the taste! Combination Fried Rick- A mixture of Chicken, Beef, Pork, Scallions, Egg, and Onion. The combination fried rice is absolutely packed with the proteins, had such mouth watering flavour, and truly had me stuffing my mouth with as much as possible. Lettuce Wraps with Tofu- My wife's pick of the two, the lettuce wraps were much larger then I was expecting and these things were absolutely delicious! Overall, The Silver Lake House by Leela Thai was a top notch dining experience and a great place for a nice dinner. The restaurant itself was absolutely beautiful, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. Like Thai food? HAVE I GOT A PLACE FOR YOU!

    Thai Boat Noodle Soup with beef
    Genevieve G.

    A very charming restaurant with great food. We luckily found street parking pretty quickly and sat outside on the patio, which is dog friendly. We ordered the satay, pad thai boran with shrimp, and boat noodle soup with beef. The satay was one of the better ones I've had, and the peanut sauce was so creamy. I loved my pad thai, but my husband said it was too sweet for him. It also came with a very generous helping of shrimp. He liked his boat noodle soup, but I thought the beef in it was a little tough. The patio was full and it must've been busy inside too, bc service was a little slow. They were very kind though, and overall a great restaurant.

    Laura P.

    Not the best Thai restaurant I've had in LA, but it comes pretty close. The decor is casual yet charming, like a laid back bar you would stumble upon in Thailand. I tried the curry and the Thai boat noodles, the portions were generous. One thing's for sure, when they say spicy, they mean real Thai spicy, they do not play! Great location, too. 3 stars for the food and 4 for the environmental especially the outdoor area!

    Beef Nam Tok and Crispy Wonton Pad Thai
    Rosie N.

    SO SO GOOD!! Loved the dishes we got. Counting down the days until we are back. Dishes are a little salty but so flavorful I didn't mind. Wonton pad thai: amazing crispy wontons with pad thai sauce. Note that there are no noodles in this! Beef Nam Tok: beef in lime lemongrass chili sauce with cabbage

The wood ear mushroom and bean curd stick salad was a nice lighter contrast to the heavier dishes too. We tried the beef noodles as well.

However, I just got whatever was available. Going down the list of foods my friends and I shared: - Manti: Huge dumplings made out of beef and fat. These were meaty and tasty. They paired well with the side red sauce which was tangy and helped cut the fatiness of the manti. Dumpling skin could've been softer, but still pretty good. It is 5 pieces per order. - Kuurdak: A beef and potato dish. The beef was tender and I loved the flavorful potatoes with onions! Great combo and felt like a nice home-cooked dish. - Samsa: A pastry stuffed with beef. Loved this! The pastry was warm and flaky and stuffed with lots of beef. Would be even better if it came with some sort of sauce. - Kompot: A fruit drink made out of apples, pomegranate, and peaches. Fruity, smooth and refreshing. Paired well with all the rich and meaty dishes. All the dishes were priced on the cheaper end so it was such great value for the amount of food/protein you get.
