"When we heard that the owners of Thip Khao were opening another spot, we sprinted to make a reservation. This Shaw restaurant puts a modern, fusion twist on Lao cuisine, with small plates like citrusy cilantro shrimp crudo next to buttery Thai-style massaman curries served with shredded beef brisket. You’ll likely spot first dates cozying up on bar stools, sharing bites of banana jicama blossom salad under soft, golden-orange lights. Follow suit, and make sure the warm tapioca dumplings filled with sweet peanuts and wrapped in crisp lettuce, the crispy catfish sliders (we could eat ten of these), and the impeccably seasoned crab curry are a part of your order." - omnia saed, tristiana hinton
