Enjoyed a meal here with my daughter. The food is well-seasoned and prepared. We asked about Level 3 spice and were encouraged to choose Level 2 and get the ghost pepper on the side. The noodles (Pad See Ew) had absorbed enough spice it didn’t need any more. But with the Bangkok red curry with Duck—which was our favorite—we added a bit more spice. Very tasty.
Staff served us as a team (I’m guessing they split the tips). They got busy and we needed to flag them down to get a second portion of rice. But everything was SO fast, tasty, efficient, fresh. I recommend this for a simple evening out for solidly good Thai food.

Went in after a work training around 5ish on a Tuesday. Clean and great atmosphere.
I tried the Bangkok Duck and it was amazing!! Never had it before. Tasted like chicken kinda, but definitely more tender and more fatty (but in a good way). Have to try duck if you go!!

My boyfriend and I went to their new location in Chapel Hill on August 31, 2024. This place was recommended to me by a co worker.
Our server, Vera, was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
For our appetizer, we split the Crisy Frief Tofu. with sauce. The appetizer was very delicious and came out piping hot. The presentation was great too. I was actually able to use the chopsticks with the appetizer and some with my entree!! 😊
I ordered the Massaman Curry with Fried Tofu in a coconut milk (cream sauce ?) which included potatoes, onions, cashews and other spices. I told our server I don’t eat as spicy, so she recommended to order the dish as it comes (mild).
She was right on point. I brought a little home for my mom since she likes Massaman curry, but she found it a little sweet because it was ordered as mild which was perfect for me. My mom still liked it. The dish comes with white rice.
My boyfriend got the tofu pad Thai which normally comes with fish sauce and eggs.
If you are vegan or vegetarian, they can leave out the eggs and/or fish sauce.
We also got a dish for my boyfriend’s roommate. He wanted the Chicken Red Curry. I told Vera that he wanted spicy, but not too spicy. She recommended the spice level of 1.5. My boyfriend said his roommate really enjoyed the meal.
We will definitely be back! Nice, but casual place for a date night. The owner’s name is Jay ( not sure if I spelled that right). The decor on the walls inside is nice.

While the staff was friendly, I found the food to be average. In my opinion, there was a bit too much coconut milk in the green curry, and the grilled chicken was a little dry. On the other hand, the fried calamari was excellent.

Bangkok 54 is a hidden gem! The staff is very kind, and the food is always tasty. I love the red curry with tofu. The salad dressing has peanuts, so I opt for the house soup. The lunch portions are ample for the price. In 2024, there are very few places left that offer lunch for $11! I do wish there were more veggies included in the red curry. However, I always leave full, so I can't complain. Looking forward to seeing their setup in the new building (same shopping center)!

Unbelievably delicious food, drinks, and truly excellent service. 3/5 for the atmosphere for dark walls, soft music, very few flies, and ants on our table, but it looked like they just did landscaping so perhaps the ants were stirring (cute landscaping, too). I'm so happy this establishment expanded, and I can not wait to see their evolution. 5/5 if you order take away.
