    Thai food is so good. The wings are so crispy and sauce. They even allow dogs as there is outdoor seating. The papaya salad is good. One bathroom but really good service.

    Vegan Potato Wontons

    We ordered vegan Pad Thai and vegan potato wontons to be delivered. The potato wontons were really good but didn't taste of potato to me. I had Pad Thai for dinner that night and leftovers for another day. I'd been wanting to try this spot and I'm glad I did!

    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.

    Mango with Coconut Sticky Rice
    Dorothy H.

    The last time I ate at this restaurant was when it was still just Leela Thai. It's a charming location in my neighborhood, came here for my birthday. It does get busy, so don't expect constant checks. Glasses waitress is fine, but the other waitress smiles and is more friendly. They serve ice cold water in Ikea jugs, with small metal cups. It's a nice touch. I had the Silver Lake Pasta with chicken, which is fun, it's like a Thai take on the Italian spaghetti noodle. It is definitely spicy, even with medium temperature. Very good flavors. My son had the Pad Thai with chicken, but it came with tofu as well, he ended up giving me those. I also had the mango and sticky rice, which I've had better at other Thai restaurants. The sauce was just sweet, it was missing a stronger coconut flavor that I'm used to tasting. Otherwise, I really like the variety on their menu, many options that I want to try, so I look forward to going again.

    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

    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.

    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!

They have TVs playing K-pop music videos, so if you're looking for somewhere quiet and intimate, this probably isn't the place. This place is very lively and loud just like the name (in a good way). That being said, all the staff were super friendly and attentive. They kept checking in on us to make sure everything was good and that we had enough water. We had the kimchi carbonara, Korean fried chicken, mentaiko pasta, and uni pasta. Out of all the pastas, my favorite was definitely the kimchi bacon udon carbonara. The uni and mentaiko pastas were also good, although I remember them being a little salty. My friend got the corn cheese for $16, which is lowkey expensive for what it is, and honestly, it tasted like any other corn cheese. The stir-fried baby octopus with pork belly was another standout and one of our favorites! They also have a seafood boil, which we definitely want to try next time we're in town. They're open pretty late too, so I highly recommend checking this place out! Just a heads-up: parking is valet, and there can sometimes be a wait on weekends.

It was around 12:19am when we got seated and there was still a good amount of people dining inside.

It was very flavorful and I liked how thick the noodles are, while the tacos were good too and I liked being able to choose the tacos we wanted. For the tacos, there were a bunch of other meat options, which all sounded good too. I'd recommend this place! I love how this is an actually restaurant with indoor dining options and the food was good too. I also liked how large the menu is here since it actually had entrees which were filling too.

Although their menu is regularly updated and posted on their website, they'll also have a piece of paper on the table listing on the special of the day. On our visit, the special was fried yellow tail, but we ultimately passed since our order was already loaded. After you place your order, the dishes are coursed out so not everything hits the table at the same time. Pacing was perfect and service was polite and attentive. Of the items we ordered the crowd favorite was the fries from the steak fries dipped into the sauce of the budo-gnocchi dish. The fries were effectively a perfected version of the McDonald's fry: golden and crispy, crunchy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. The wagyu was sliced into beautiful bite-size pieces and was melt-in-you-mouth tender. Definitely a must order! Another favorite of mine was the Japanese sweet potato. The surface of the potato is beautifully brûléed, there's an intense richness from the glob of miso koji butter on top, and the chives add a nice freshness to the dish. I cannot recommend Budonoki enough if you're a foodie. Seriously some of the best food I've had in LA.

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. The noodles were a bit on the tougher side, which is kind of expected with this style, but the flavors were solid overall. But do NOT sleep on dessert.
