Awaken your taste buds with some authentic Thai cuisine.
It may surprise you that Los Angeles has the largest population of Thai people living outside of Thailand. As such, Thai cuisine in Los Angeles comes pretty close to the experience you’ll have when dining in Thailand. Meals at Ayara Thai (near L.A. International Airport) and Jitlada (Thai Town) are proof positive of this and both restaurants continue to remain as some of the most authentically Thai restaurants in the region.
