ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen, or simply ShopHouse, was an American restaurant chain specializing in Southeast Asian cuisine. Its name derived from the shophouse, a common building type in urban Southeast Asia. The first ShopHouse opened in September 2011 in Washington, D.C.[1] As of April 2016, there were a total of fourteen ShopHouse locations, in California, Chicago, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. ShopHouse was owned and operated by Chipotle Mexican Grill, and used a similar serving format.[3]

Like Chipotle, ShopHouse restaurants were company-owned, rather than franchised.[4] Its competitors included Panda Express, P. F. Chang's, Pick Up Stix,[5] and to a small extent Noodles & Company.[6] On October 25, 2016, founder, Steve Ells, said during an earnings call that the company "decided not to invest further in growing the ShopHouse brand."[7] All ShopHouse locations were closed on March 17, 2017.[8][9] After the restaurants closed, the leases for each restaurant were purchased by Gosh Enterprises and converted into new locations for Bibibop Asian Grill.[10][11][12]
