    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.

    I have been tasting Thai food around US for 10 years and Bangkok 54 defintely is the topest among all of them. The curriest and tastes are super authentic and you must try it if you are a Thai food lover around the triangle area. Also I posted the most recent menu for your references.

    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.
