For the safety of our guests and team, each table accommodates up to 4 guests at a time. If parties are larger than 4 guests, it is suggested to secure two separate reservations for the same day & time. However, neighboring tables cannot be combined in order to remain social distancing.

Understanding the health circumstances is our our top priority, we want to take serious protocols upon every little detail for the safety measure of our guests, team, and our community as we open our patio and continue to service our carryout option. We want to carefully and thoughtfully take actions to continue to provide the Lao experience that we all miss dearly.

We require our guests to wear masks:

- when arriving to the host stand

- if not eating or drinking during the meal

- if getting up from the table at any time or reason

- when entering in to our building to use the restroom

All team members are required to wear face masks, gloves and temperature checks before shift. Individual hand sanitizer and a QR code of our menu will be provided at each table.

In chance of inclement weather, some of our tables will be under umbrellas while some would not be. However if the weather becomes severe, we will be unable to move your meal indoors. If you do not feel taking a risk dining in the patio, we can convert your reservation to a carryout order or reschedule for another time per request.

BOBY PRADACHITH

CHEF AND OWNER

Bobby Pradachith grew up in Northern Virginia in a Lao household. He felt lost within his family’s culture due to separate upbringings outside of home. As he sought to understand more about his family, he discovered food could help guide his learning journey. The opportunity to study in culinary school and to work under his chef-mother and the tutelages of other Chefs in several restaurants in DC and New York helped guide him, to continue to operate his family’s two restaurants. His sole ambitions are to preserve the integrity of the culture through food and to encourage the Lao-American communities to follow the journey of Lao story telling. He finds old historical contents, recipes, and art to be the inspirations within the menu.
