COVID-19 GUIDELINES

RESERVE FOR OUTDOOR PATIO & INDOOR SEATING THROUGH TOCK

Effective Saturday, July 31st: per CDC and Mayor Bowser’s orders, due to growing concerns around the COVID-19 Delta Variant, both vaccinated and unvaccinated guests who choose to dine indoors will be required to wear masks when not actively eating, drinking, and seated at the tables. For safety measures, all of our team members will continue to wear masks throughout the daily operations, a protocol we have been committed to since the beginning of the pandemic.

This is a complicated and difficult time but we at Thip Khao will continue to abide by the guidelines and monitor further updates. In order for all of us to get through this, we must work together to slow the virus and prevent any more closures or issues with small businesses. We appreciate your support, understanding, and cooperation for the health and safety of everyone. We want to continue caring for those sharing meals with us and we ask all of you to care for us.

We love you!

Deposit of $20 per person will be refunded through Tock upon arrival. This is separate from the entire bill.

There will be a 20% Service Charge included on each bill to be evenly dispersed amongst our staff to make certain they are paid a livable & competitive wage.

About

Seng Luangrath

Chef & Co-Owner

Chef Seng was born in Laos and fled the country during the Vietnam War. During her stay at a Thailand refugee camp of Nakhon Phanom, she learned how to cook from her camp neighbors and elders. At the age of twelve, she was the eldest of five and took on the role of caretaker of her four younger siblings in order to support her working mother. In 2009, at the age of 40 she decided to go after her greatest passion, cooking. She took over Padaek (previously Bangkok Golden) in 2010 and in 2014, she opened Thip Khao. In 2019, she opened a fast casual concept, Sen Khao, at the Tyson's Galleria in McLean, VA and also a cocktail bar, Hanumanh, located in the Shaw DC area. She is one of the founders of Lao Food Movement, an initiative to encourage Laotian-Americans to preserve and uplift Lao culture. She is considered the godmother of Laotian cuisine in America amongst her peers.

Boby Pradachith

Director of Operation & Co-Owner

A Northern Virginia native who sought a path with food as a language to deeply learn his family's Laotian culture. His time spent in culinary school and building his craft under the best chefs in New York and Washington DC led to the opportunity to fully step in the lead role in his family businesses in 2014. Since then, he has helped grew to four concepts: Padaek, Thip Khao, Hanumanh and Sen Khao. His sole ambition is to continue preserving the integrity of Lao culture and encouraging the Lao-Americans to tell our stories within our communities. He feels inspired when discovering old historical contents, recipes, art, nature, and aesthetics that makes Laos such a beautiful country.
