"This was one of the best meals I have ever had in DC. There dishes are incredible. All the food is so tasty and fresh. Such an unreal meal!!!! Cannot wait to go back. We had the Pork Jerky, Lettuce Wraps (under Salads, Kee Mao, and the Branzino"

"Thip Khao was a delightful experience from start to finish. We chose it because it’s part of the Chase Restaurant Collection, and it absolutely lived up to expectations. The service was warm and attentive, the atmosphere casual and relaxing. The food, however, was the true standout. Every dish impressed, each one bursting with flavor and personality. The steamed catfish wrapped in banana leaves stole the show, tender, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned. Eating the fish with sticky rice by hand was a fun, authentic touch that added to the whole experience. If you find yourself in Washington, DC, Thip Khao is well worth a visit."

"Remarkable! Thip Khao is one of those gems of a restaurant that you find and wonder how you've lived without it for as long as you have. The food here is exceptional. Think Thai food (kind of) on steroids - incredible flavors, dishes you've never heard of but should try, great service, nice atmosphere and reasonable prices. In the photos: a whole Bronzino, a pork dish (kind of like Thai street pork but better), a "salad" that was so full of flavor that you should order 2, noodles that are like Thai Pad See Euw (sp?) but far more flavorful, and some fun chicken wings. Make a reservation here - you will definitely be happy when you do. Highly recommended."

"3.5 stars rounding up to 4 Overall a positive experience. The food is extremely flavorful but very salty. Ordered quite a variety of items and all but 1 dish was too salty to eat on its own so it was packed to go. Leftovers were amazing paired with bland noodles and rice white. The dessert was the highlight of the meal. I’d go back again to explore the noodle dishes."

"We tried three different dishes, and every one of them was outstanding. The flavors were beautifully layered, with a real sense of depth rather than being one-dimensional. I understand that everyone’s palate is different, but I honestly can’t see why some reviews describe the food as too salty while others say it’s bland. To us, the seasoning felt well balanced. It was unfortunate that dessert wasn’t available during our visit, but I’m already planning to come back soon to try their famous black sesame ice cream."
