Oak Owners, Richard and Tiffanee Ellman, to Open Pakpao Thai Mid-May in the Design District

By Carol Shih |

Richard and Tiffanee Ellman, owners of Oak (Restaurant of the Year 2012), have just opened Belly & Trumpet in their old Bowery space. But they’re not stopping there. The husband-and-wife team plans to open an Asian restaurant in the Design District this May. It’s going to be called Pakpao Thai. Plan B folks (Royce Ring/Alex Urrunaga) and Coeval Studio (John Paul Valverde) are teaming up to create a restaurant design that’ll probably make design history.

This is going to be insanely good. Now that the Design District is becoming a hot dining destination in Dallas, it only makes sense for an Asian restaurant to make an entrance. And there’s certainly no better team than the Ellmans. Get excited!!!!

Update [3/6, 2:45 p.m.]: Previously, the headline read “Pak Pao,” which was a whole space incorrect. The name has been changed to “Pakpao.” The restaurant will also be located right next to Oak at 1628 Oak Lawn Ave., Ste. 120.
