Ordered to-go for the first time tonight. I got the silver noodle soup and it is delicious! Super fragrant, well seasoned, and abundance of noodles (I ordered extra noodles but I'm pretty sure I didn't need to!) The man who greeted me was very nice but soft spoken. Excited to order here again. I was even 30 minutes late to my pickup but it was so well packaged I don't need to reheat at all now that I'm home.

The food was amazing! Duck soup was phenomenal. It’s a nice quiet place in the corner of a plaza. Service was great. I’ll definitely be back.

I took a colleague to lunch here and the experience was awesome! The food was colorful and flavorful. I ordered the drunken noodles which were superb!!!!! Also our server was a one-man show (Host, server, cashier, etc.) and did a fantastic job of taking care of the entire restaurant by himself. But did I mention the food!!!!! It will definitely have you wanting to come back for more!!!!

I do not have enough words on how incredible Thai 55 is! Recommended by an incredible friend, we came here together and you can tell how great the people are the moment you walked in. The absolute kindest and most intentional people work here, they really make the entire experience elevate to another level. HUGE shoutout to Tommy- he is so warm and welcoming, also very fun and funny! He greets everyone with a smile and warmth, truly incredible. The inside is also very cute, spacious, and very clean. The menu is filled with incredible dishes, I found it hard to narrow what I wanted down cause everything looks so good. I found myself thinking of wanting to come here every week so I could have a little bit of everything. I’m also a huge fan of eggplant, Tommy recommended I get the lunch special (which usually range between $10-$13 per plate, huge portions and comes with rice- incredible deal). Worry not about the spice levels- you can choose! You MUST get their Thai tea! I’m a fan of it coming in a mason jar with a handle, looks very pretty (aesthetic, you can mix the cream into the tea- sadly my photo is too blurry to do it Justice). Super delicious! For dessert- you have to get the mango sticky rice. A top tier dessert, not too sweet, tastes really creamy and refreshing. Always a beautiful balance of flavors. Be sure to come here to check them out! 10/10 would recommend :)

Very authentic Thai food and attentive server. The Thai Iced Tea is creamy and delicious. I also enjoyed the Shrimp in Blanket. Crispy skin and juicy shrimp. The Pad Thai is good but be careful of the spice level. It's "Thai level", meaning your medium spice is basically "hot". Enjoyed our dinner and will be back again soon.

Very tasty, seems pretty authentic with a fairly expansive dinner menu of Thai dishes. Asked for "medium" spice in my Pad Thai and it was VERY spicy, so I'd recommend you ask for "mild" if you want some spice but also still feel your mouth. 😁 Creamy and delicious thai iced tea. Will definitely come back and try again. They can also make some dishes vegetarian, just ask.

Fairly good roast duck curry. Tasted a little different that other roast duck curries I've had. Nice atmosphere. Great service.

I use to live in Thailand, so finding good and authentic Thai food has been hard. However, Thai 55 made me feel like I was back in Thailand! I recommend the Pad Won Sen Gai (glass noodles with chicken). I have not found that dish at other Thai restaurants. BJ, the owner is also super sweet and a joy to talk to! When I come back to this area I will definitely make sure to grab a meal at Thai 55!

If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Thai dining experience, look no further than Thai55! This restaurant is an absolute gem, and I can't recommend it highly enough. P'BJ was very personable and attentive and gave us some homemade Thai tea to celebrate Songkran!! สวัสดีปีใหม่ค่ะ
