The Silver Lake House (by Leela Thai)

This is my favorite Thai restaurant great service and the food is always delicious!❤️

We celebrated a birthday here with a group of six people. The restaurant left a wonderful impression! The food was amazing: rich flavors, fresh ingredients, you can tell it's made by professionals. The portions are generous — everyone had enough and we left very full. The interior is very cozy, and the atmosphere is perfect for socializing and celebrations. The staff is attentive and caring. Definitely recommend for gatherings with friends and special occasions!

Had a yummy Thai dinner at The Silver Lake House by Leela Thai! We really enjoyed the Leela crispy roll, pad kee mao, chef Pao Pao, and chow mein. Nice beer selection as well. We sat on the dog friendly patio. Friendly and quick service. Recommend!

Positives:
Service and atmosphere is great for a casual get together albeit somewhat packed, and visually, the food looks great.

Negatives:
Very disappointed by the use of old ingredients in every dish we ordered (pad thai, panang curry, papaya salad). I could tell based on texture and flavor that every meat we had was pre-cooked/frozen and simply reheated in the wok/curry before serving. The outside of the cabbage had dark spots on the edges and marks like it was nibbled on by a bug.

The Silver Lake House is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely cares about creating a great dining experience.

The food is incredible—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tastes thoughtfully made, whether it’s a light, healthy option or something more indulgent. The balance of flavors and quality of ingredients really sets this place apart.

The setting is also perfect—relaxed yet stylish, making it ideal for both a casual meal with friends or a special night out. The attention to detail in both service and food shows that this restaurant takes pride in everything they do.

I can’t recommend The Silver Lake House enough. A true neighborhood treasure and definitely one of the best dining spots in LA!

I tried the larb duck. It had a lot of dry parts. When I asked the employee, she said this was the normal service. I think it was reheated a few times or burned in the oven. If this is the normal service, it is definitely not my style. Those who will order should take this into consideration. Creepe cakes are different and original. I can give 3.5-4 stars for this dessert.

The atmosphere was perfect and cozy, got seated fairly quickly even tho they were busy.
The food came out pretty quick once we ordered.
I had the pad Thai and we ordered a chicken fried rice and both were really good!
Everything that i saw come out to other tables looked delicious.
Definitely coming back.

Serving sizes are great, I ordered too many dishes and ended up with dinner for the next day. Their Thai tea is amazing, mango sticky rice is so good. This place is worth the trip and battling for parking lol

Imagine you are me and all your friends want to get together for a dinner in Silverlake. Where do you go? One friend suggests The Silver Lake House by Leela Thai, saying she went once with a friend who has since moved away, gotten married, and unfollowed her on Instagram. Of course I agree and hope this place is as good as she remembers.

It’s better. This is the kind of place that is so powerfully charming and delicious it makes you want to return to create new memories to replace the old ones with old friends who have removed themselves from your life.

I got the massaman curry. It was rich, complex, and light. I was so delighted.

Oh yes, and this place even has a cat who makes the rounds. It is not a weird cat, it is a gray cat.

I ate here the other night with my partner and WOW it might have been the best thai restaurant we've ever been to! He is a chef and so we are very particular when it comes to eating out - and this place truly blew us away. The wonton pad thai is one of the best dishes I've ever eaten I am literally still thinking about it. We had to wait a bit for a table but once we were in, the service was so fast and good. Super affordable and absolutely delicious, we will be back if we're ever in LA again!
