Thip Khao - Washington, D.C.

I’ve been to this place twice and the food is absolutely amazing! There are plenty of vegan options and the staff seems very knowledgeable and accommodating. The vegan curry is so flavorful and the laab and naem khao are wonderful appetizers. The cocktails are a bit pricey but they are really unique and tasty.

This is an excellent restaurant, high quality cuisine, Nice sit down lunch or dinner restaurant (but not overly formal or fancy or anything). Many many clearly labeled vegan options. Everything is so delicious and it’s a very unique option. I especially love the dill tofu wrapped in banana leaves. Mmmmm

Food: papaya salad was OK but red coconut curry was really good! I had it with tofu. Service: friendly, very busy place so don't expect them to come around a lot Interior: nice large space with lots of seating Overall, would recommend to try out the spot if you're in the area.

Lively Thai restaurant in Columbia Heights. Good veg/vegan options.

Thip Khao is a great little intimate date night restaurant. They offer outdoor and indoor dining. Our table was ready when we arrived for dinner and the service was very pleasant. All of the food was delicious with the exception of the pork and rice which I felt lacked a bit of flavor and the rice was dry and hard. But other than that 1 dish missing the mark, everything else was fantastic. The Jerry was very tasty and perfect texture. The papaya salad with the Laotian level of spice really pushed it. I handle a lot of spice, so it wasn't too bad for my but my date really had a bit of a shock when she tried it as I also noticed the table next to me sweating from the heat. But that is to be expected when eating from a place that takes pride in their level of spicy and taste. The drinks were fantastic and the noodles were a great soft taste after having the papaya salad. All in all I'd happily return and explore more of the menu.
