Best place to get chicken larb in Thai Town?

[TailbackU]

I recently came back from a trip to Thailand and really fell in love with a dish I rarely order here in LA. Chicken larb was EVERYWHERE in Thailand, so I ate it again and again. Who makes the best version here in LA?

Also, is there a thai restaurant that serves massaman curry? That was a popular dish in Koh Samui.

Krua Siri on Hollywood also makes several types of larb- all are superb, though I am partial to the duck version. They also have an Issan sausage with what I think of as the perfect texture- meaty, not as crumbly as Pailin's (also very good) version...

+1 for Krua Siri! The fish larb is great too.

Their chicken larb is great. Their duck larb is even better. But best of all is their catfish larb - which wasn't obviously on any menu when I wrote my first review, or I would have spent have the time ranting about its glory. Interestingly, each of the larbs is very different in texture: chicken is like other larbs I've had, their duck larb is often softer and more stew-y, and the catfish larb has that dried-fluff thing going on. Drives me nuts with joy

My mind is slipping me - the place across from Ruen Pair... starts with a G... Sounds like "Gunga Din"... something. Anyway, they make really good duck larb, it's not on the menu but it's written on the wall sometimes.

Ganda, which may also have the finest steam table take-out food in all of LA.

For chicken larb and other larb and larb-like dishes, I would try Yai's on Hollywood. It specializes in NE-Thailand food.

I've never had the massaman curry at Jitlada, but it's the natural place to try in Thai Town, since it specializes in Southern Thai food.

do you know if Jitlada has it on their menu?
