This gets a five star primarily because of the authenticity, then the food, then the service... It's a small, modest - but mighty - restaurant with just a few tables available and easily booked up. The food was great, and memorable. Staff was sweet but a bit slow because they are a small crew. Total gem. They have a wine cork fee and minimal selection of sake. read more

Definitely a splurge here but I think it's totally worth it for a special occasion! The devil noodles & cashew chicken were both super flavorful and the perfect textures. The devil noodles had an amazing complexity of flavors that the noodles soaked up well. I loved it and would highly recommend. The service was also great and it was cute inside (nothing outstanding but quaint) read more

We loved the food at Si Laa - everything was top notch. The mains were our favorites- with the short rib curry being the favorite. The appetizers were great too just a little small. The ambiance is upscale and a nice meal out. The service was just a bit slow and it took a while for the food to come out. Bathrooms nice and clean too. And parking easy in Robertson and free after 6pm. read more

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 flavor Garlic Chicken: 5/5, everyone enjoyed the dish - it was super flavorful but just enough to not overwhelm someone Hidden Treasure: 4/5, small seeving size but the sauce was really good Pad Thai: 4/5, loved the nuttiness in the noodles It was definitely really pricey for the small amount of food we got. For four dishes, we were expecting more servings and for $100+. read more

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. read more

The dark roasted duck served with greens and beautiful, buttery roti is low-key one of the best duck dishes in the city - it rivals Pa Ord.

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! read more

What is going on with restaurants having so much entitlement? Times are hard and rent is expensive so I'd be nicer and more receptive to your LOCAL clientele. Why would you demean someone and have so much pride to think your food is perfect? Supposedly this venue doesn't get any complaints (manager said on the phone that they've never once had a complaint about their food being bland lol total lies as even Michelin rated restaurants get complaints) - their last 1 star review is from years ago, so I am convinced they get those honest reviews taken down. There is absolutely NO way that people think this is good food. (But how can you all be blamed..there's not a lot of (good) Thai around here..!) First and last time ever eating anything from here. I thought about asking for a credit but I didn't like a single thing I got so I don't see myself coming back. I ordered to go: papaya salad - ZERO flavor and ZERO heat. Little Treasures - it's just damn shrimp with crab meat on top, but they make it sound like some mind blowing appetizer. Pad See Ew - even with the sweet and sour sauce I ordered on the side (had to ask for it when picking up and waited forever for it) it was so weird tasting! It had CINNAMON type of flavor to it which is NOT meant for it!! It's just supposed to basically be like a thicker sweet soy..and the spare rib meat was so dry. $77 is so damn expensive for EXTREMELY SUB PAR FOOD that come in TINY sizes, and to get talked down to and talked over on the phone. Absolutely ridiculous excuse of an establishment. You're unprofessional, rude, prideful and really need to get help from some other Thai restaurants because your food does NOT hit. It would have been a lot different if I was sitting down there and gave you this feedback face to face. Instead I got stuck with crappy food at home before having to rush to an event. Decided to make a call and ask for a solution and give feedback, but just wasted my time and energy! Jerks. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Some of the best Thai food I've had in a while. I won't deny the portions are small and the price tag is big but for a special occasion it's well worth it. I'm walking distance and it's going to be a struggle not to eat here more without going into debt. read more

Love this hidden spot. Very fresh food. I think the owner is the chef and it feels very homey. The shrimp appetizers were sooo beyond good! One of my favorite Thai spots read more

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 ask over and over again before we got want was needed. read more

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 ! read more

Got take out Pad See Ew and Cashew Chicken, flavor was solid for both dishes, however, the price for the portion size is absurd. Two (small) entrees and an ice cream for $80 after tip. read more

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. read more

Everything. Food, service, quiet neighborhood feel, easy street parking, lovely owners.

This is absolutely our favorite Thai food! It's our favorite place to take friends when they're in town and we want to impress with LA's best. The food is unique, the service is always great, and the owners are so very kind. Hidden treasures, short rib curry, and devil noodles are a must. read more

Si Laa is the golden standard of authentic Thai cuisine, and I am giving my highest recommendation possible! The menu covers an amazing amount of territory, and everything I've tried has been ungodly delicious. From the Hidden Treasures appetizer (prawns/shrimp, blue crab meat, coconut curry) to something as simple as the Garlic and Ginger fried rice (convinced this could be the answer to World Peace), one can appreciate that every dish was undoubtedly prepared with care and attention. At the end of the meal, we were greeted by the executive chef, and I must say, she is the epitome of the American dream. Legend has it that Leonardo DiCapario and Keanu Reeves are regulars here - if it's good enough for these guys, it's good enough for me! Whilst some restaurant cut corners, I admire that Si Laa has kept true to form in pushing the envelope for how Thai food should be served. 5/5 Y'all have a customer for life read more

Came here to celebrate a birthday and heard about this place. It's small but very simple and neat. We tried several entrees: Hand pleated potstickers- A little spicy with a faint sweetness and the ginger soy sauce is a nice touch. The wrapper is soft yet holds everything together. Whole Branzino- The fish was tender and tasty, very little bones and the skin so crispy. Very subtle sweetness and spice. Crispy Duck- By far my favorite. Indeed crispy and tender, so flavorful with the sauce. The Chinese broccoli and pancake is a nice touch. Baby Bok Choy- The sauce is very subtle but has a nice flavor. The bok choy is tender with a little crunch and the mushrooms had a very mild flavor. Pad Thai- It has a slight sweetness to it, the noodles are tender with a good consistency. The vegetables are crispy and crunchy. Thai Curry- Slightly spicy, the chicken is tender and the vegetables slightly crisp. Delicious over the Garlic and Ginger Rice Dessert Coconut ice cream with sticky rice and rice crispies on top. The ice cream has a slight flavor, the sticky rice adds a touch of saltiness and texture to the experience. Chocolate cake with a hint of flavor, so moist and rich. It's not cheap but well worth it! read more

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. 12/10 The 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. 9.5/10 Would definitely come back. Highly recommend! read more

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. read more

Not going to go into much detail here but my girlfriend and I have been regulars and the food is always delicious with some creative ideas with Thai food. I have highly recommended to many people in the neighborhood. BUT this last time we ordered some take out it felt like a total rip off. The prices are just too much and portions too small. Sorry, we are done, no more - it's just not fair or sane to pay that much for that little. read more

Amazing place food service everything! We love this place! We recomend to try all the menu!!

Best Thai food I've had in LA. Full of flavor and perfect texture. A little pricey but worth it for the quality.

I wished for duck curry and they do not have curries. The " hidden Treasures" was superb, the shrimp and the veggie noodles very good. The atmosphere is quiet and cozy. The Crispy Duck was fair to good with one piece overcooked and inedible. I cannot recommend it. We joked about carrying some bread in our purse next time so we could capture the excellent sauce on the hidden treasures. read more

**JUST OK THAI FOOD ON PICO/ROBERTSON** Didn't want to cook so decided to give this place a try. PARKING ======== Street. AMBIANCE ========= Clean, almost stale, but spacious. Bar in the back and a spare room on the side. Modern art paintings on the wall. FOOD ===== TOM YUM SOUP - $6 With shrimp and mushroom in spicy lemongrass & cilantro broth was a bit too sour. Too many mushrooms. RATING: 3/5 SHORT RIB (spicy) - $19 Braised in green coconut curry sauce and sugar snap peas was average at best. Nice kick, but didn't WOW me at all. The short ribs in curry sauce was a different twist. I prefer classic shrimp or chicken. And for $19, that was a bit pricey. RATING: 3/5 DESSERT ======== HOUSEMADE ICE CREAM (3 scoops) - $7 Tried the coconut, banana, and honey. Very delicious and natural. Favorite part of the meal. RATING: 4/5 BEVERAGE ========= THAI ICED TEA - $3 Nothing fancy or unusual. RATING: 3/5 SERVICE ======= Friendly, on-point. RATING: 4/5 OVERALL, the price and quality of food wasn't there for me. Had much better Thai food elsewhere. But I wouldn't recommend. read more

Si Laa - Best part of the meal: house made ice cream! - Thai Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Romantic cute little Thai restaurant in Beverly Hills, beautiful place with comfy intimate seatings. Our corner booth was perfect for a casual dinner date after a bit shopping at Beverly center. Menu was simple and neat, not as big as usual Thai restaurants, but the choices were good. Started with bottle of British sparkling water and bottle of chardonnay, they only serve beer and wine. Starter: Chicken mushroom soup with coconut milk: the broth was amazing, rich and spicy but not salty at all, so good! Entrees: Spicy crab noodles: tender crab meat, the rice noodles were so good, flavors were light. Filet with green beans: filet was a little overcooked for hubby, but still flavorful and delicious. Whole Branzino: they cut it for us after showing us the whole fish. Deep fried Branzino, the skin and bones were so crispy and crunchy, but the fish meat was still so soft. The sauce was bomb too, I love Branzino, this Thai style was absolutely yummy! Dessert was sorbets in 3 fruity flavors: very refreshing and yummy. Food was light, portions were on the smaller side, but the flavors were so nice. Hubby and I enjoyed the food and good service. It was a relaxing and lovely dinner date. It's refreshing to have such a nice little Thai place in this area, if you ever would like to try some "not so fancy but still nice" restaurant in this hood, Si Laa is the perfect choice! read more

Warning!!! Entree prices shown on Yelp will differ s-i-g-n-i-f-i-c-a-n-t-l-y from actual prices. I reviewed the menu, called in order & showed up to pickup my takeout order (never being told the final order price) to discover that my 2 entree & 1 side dish would be $100. When I looked at the price breakdown, the 2 entrees, which were each listed on their menu at $24, on the actual bill were $38 a piece. I questioned the prices with the hostess / waitress to be told that "the restaurant has no control over the pricing shown in Yelp. " After spending precious time w/a good friend to determine where to eat, what we wanted and then having to wait 35-45 min for our order to be prepared only to discover the prices were off by over 50%, I told them they could keep their order. I was FURIOUS. As I left the restaurant at 6:30 pm on a Thurs night, I noted that there was not one customer seated in this restaurant. Now, I fully understand why. read more

My friends and I loved the food here. We ordered the hidden treasure, potstickers, market vegetables curry, shrimp and basil in hot sauce, and spicy crab fried rice. We thoroughly enjoyed each dish. Great quantity, it's not a very big quantity. Dessert coconut ice cream, mango sticky and the lichee. These were all so fresh and organic tasting. Loved the taste, service and cleanliness. The staff is super friendly. read more

Just finished eating at this lovely establishment. The Crispy duck was fantastic. The server Joel was Johnny on the spot, always checking if I needed anything.

One of my family's favorite restaurants! Consistent, great customer service and always a meal to look forward to!

Fabulous very fresh food and cute place Small space so get there early Bronzino was delicious

Was taken there for the first time last night. Nobody in the place at 6pm. By 7pm, there were no empty tables. After having the magic and me krob appetizers, I could see why. Then the entrees came. Branzino, duck, spicy crab noodles and curry shrimp. Hidden treasures were treasures, indeed. Service excellent. Personal and friendly. Superb food. Was my first time. Will definitely NOT be my last. read more

Wonderful creative Thai food.. the duck is the best! Lovely atmosphere where you can enjoy your conversations.

This restaurant is really nice. White clothed tables, candle and rose on each table, dimmed lighting. Really pretty. Super romantic. I came here in search of wonton soup to heal my soul. Which lead me to here. On a Monday 7:30pm, it was not crowded at all. A couple tables there. But as the night went on people came in. A small wonton soup was $6. Kind of pricey but it was delicious. Didn't taste typical from a Chinese restaurant. Super flavorful and depth in flavor. No MSG. So that wonton soup was small. And I inhaled it. So I opted for another soup. I ordered the Tom khar chicken soup ($6), a coconut based lemongrass chicken and mushroom soup. Not as thick in consistency as I thought. But flavorful nonetheless. Alright, after two soups I was still hungry. I got the Tom yum soup (not pictured). By this time, I burned all my tastes buds from the previous two hot soups. The Tom yum was spicy and pretty salty. Servers were really nice. A little $$ but I'd come back to try the other things on the menu. read more

Last night was my first time there. We went with some friends who frequently go. It was a birthday dinner. The food was terrific however the service was abysmal. We ordered for dinners and one meal never came. The young waitstaff never came back to check and see if everything was OK. When I had to go to the kitchen to tell them that one of us was missing the dinner the response I got was "I didn't bring the food out so I didn't notice". No one ever came back and by the time my friend got his birthday dinner we were all finished. Not only were we treated poorly but there was absolutely no attempt at compensation not even a free dessert. I will never go back. Obviously the owner doesn't care. read more

The food and service are outstanding. I like that they have a smaller menu of dishes they do really, really well. I recommend the larb, it's the best I've ever had. Also the short rib curry, devil noodles, vegetable curry, eggplant are all outstanding. read more

It may have been my mistake for ordering seafood of Thai after 9pm, but what I got was a plate full of old mushy crab and shrimp. I had tried the take out from Si Laa a few times and never been impressed per se, but to get a dish that actual made me feel gross while & after eating it was a little bit too much. Keep in mind I ordered during closing time. The wait staff who I interact with are always incredibly courteous, but all it takes is one bad dish. read more
