• Laotian • Columbia Heights / Brightwood
Booked 37 times today
Thip Khao is acclaimed chef Seng Luangrath's flagship restaurant in Columbia Heights, Washington, DC. Thip Khao serves up spicy Lao (or Laotian) dishes and classic cocktails with an exotic twist. Lao cuisine leverages tropical herbs and cooking techniques of Southeast Asia. However, the flavor profile is distinct from its fellow SE Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Dishes like Naem Khao (Crispy Rice Salad), Sai Oua (lemongrass pork sausage), Laab, and Tam Muk Houng (Lao papaya salad) at Thip Khao showcase the unique flavors of Laos. Many dishes are served with sticky rice. Chef Seng recommends eating sticky rice with your hands as most Laotians do. Since its opening, the restaurant has been well received by Washingtonians and critics alike. The restaurant has had national recognition from multiple publications including New York Times, Washington Post, Bon Apetit magazine, Washingtonian magazine, and Michelin Guide (Bib Gourmand).

    LOVED IT!! Our waiter Art (not sure if I’m pronouncing or spelling his name correctly), but he was attentive to our party of 11. Our food came out hot and within a reasonable time. The food was delicious! Our guests ordered starters- Chargrilled Oysters, Oxtail meatballs, Broke Friend/Rich fried deviled eggs, Crab soup. Our entrees were the Lamb chops with the garlic mash/asparagus, Seafood Gumbo with Lamb chops added, Garlic noodles with King Crab & Lamb chops, Fried Snapper, Whole Bird, Mac & cheese, broccolini. FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!! Drinks- Old Fashioned (was just okay), Blueberry Mint Marg was delicious! Dessert ordered was the Butterscotch bread pudding with the house made caramel sauce and ice cream, and the Churros were both delicious! Overall experience and vibe of Fraîche was a great experience and will definitely recommend!! 9.5 out of 10 (only because I think the Old Fashioned can be tweaked a little)!

    I ordered 2 main dishes. It was a typical south Asian restaurant. My experience is subjective but the food was very salty in my opinion. Overall, it is a decent restaurant, reasonable price.

    This is some of best Persian food we have had. This is just as good as homemade (my son-in-law is Persian.) We have been there several times including Mother's Day. Six of us gathered to enjoy a wonderful lunch. The owner and staff were very attentive and accommodating. We enjoyed the Kashk Bademjan(eggplant) and Mast O Khiar(yogurt and cucumber) for starters as well as the Wings prepared with pomegranate molasses. They were spectacular! We shared kabobs and Ghormeh Sabzi, a beef stew, and Fesenjoon a rich chicken stew. We ended with salmon and lamb shank. Each dish was served with the appropriate rice. Most of which we wound up taking home. We were too stuffed to order dessert, but the Baghlava and ice cream are both delicious. The prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to try Persian food.
