    Happy Hour menu
    Robert M.

    I keep hearing how Bangkok 54 is the best Thai restaurant in Arlington, so I had to check it out. They have Happy Hour from 4-6:30, including appetizers, desserts, and an impressive cocktail list, all for under $10. I was greeted and seated as soon as I walked in. I ordered the Poolside cocktail and crispy spicy duck. I couldn't believe how fast they both came out. The drink had a summer vibe to it, with its mix of rums and fruit juices. The duck was hot, indeed crispy, and the medium spice was perfect without being overwhelming. It was a generous portion as well. The mango cheesecake was pretty good, and the fruit slices were very fresh.

    House Special Duck Rolls

    OK, so I finally dined in. Twice. Up until recently, I had only ordered a soup to go, and enjoyed Thai iced teas. Experiences below: Lunch: I ordered the pad Thai woon sen with shrimp. I ordered two spring rolls, and a Thai iced tea. The Thai tea was good as always. The spring rolls, which were only $.99 each as a part of the lunch special menu, were good. The pad Thai woon sen was fine... only like 4-5 shrimp. Not as flavorful as I was hoping for. The service was good. However, after we placed our drink orders and received our drinks, the service was soooooo slowww. I think she forgot us. I also asked for the sauce tray and that took a bit. Food at lunch 3/5. Dinner: much better experience. Our server was on it. Garlic lover: sooo good. One of the better I've had in this area.4.5/5 Duck rolls: more duck than expected, which is good. I think I prefer the spring rolls, though. 3/5 Cocktails: I got two different ones I can't remember but they were both good. Dinner ambiance is nicer, too. Portions are pretty good. I'd come back for Thai teas, of course, and dinner. I'd skip dining in for lunch but would likely order to go.

    Service- everyone we interacted with was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly, and attentive. Shoutout to Tam who took great care of us and was so polite! Food- we went for happy hour and everything we had was a good portion size and super flavorful. The dumplings with crab were my favorite. Drinks-so many creative drink combinations and all the classics as well. Vibe- great for dates, families, or groups. Happy hour- great pricing, large selection.

    If you haven't tried Bangkok 54 yet, it's definitely time. Once you do, it might just become your go-to spot for Thai food. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeout, Bangkok 54 delivers consistently delicious dishes--just note that presentation for takeout/delivery may differ a bit from the in-house experience. I recently stopped by for dinner--my first visit in a while--and was reminded why this place is so popular. For an early Thursday evening, it was surprisingly busy, likely thanks to their tempting happy hour deals. The food? Packed with flavor and a satisfying kick. If you're not big on spice, be warned: I think the spicy dishes seem to come at a default medium (around a 3 out of 5 on the heat scale), so don't be shy about asking them to dial it down.

    First time here and didn't intend to eat Thai when we stumbled on this place. It picked up on Sunday around 2pm. Maybe there was a wave before then. The portions were large and their traditional dishes were tastyz we got pad Thai and drunken noodles.

    Very disappointing lunch specials. Garlic lover chicken where rice is so huge it's on the entree side. With clear plastic pieces in the food! Chicken pad Thai tastes of palm sugar, burnt chili oil and disappointment. Where's the flavor?!...

    Fresh Mango and Crispy Shrimp Salad
    Yasi S.

    Have gotten food from here twice, specifically takeout. The food was delicious! I tried something different for me once - the mango & shrimp salad - super tasty, full of flavor. I wish the lunch special boxes were bigger. I'm a big fan of Thai food, and this definitely did not disappoint.

    Crab meat fried rice and 54's crispy spicy duck tasty
    Rupa B.

    We had Salt pepper calamari: excellent Tom Yam cocktail: good 54's Mai Tai cocktail: great Crab meat fried rice: very ordinari. Regular fried rice with bits of crab at the top as volcano Crispy fried spicy duck tasty, but hardly as a duck Sticky rice custard: mah very ordinary. In short, the place is good, but according to the friends' recommendation we expected more.

    Delicious! All of it!

    Took an extended walk a few weeks ago to check this place out before getting groceries, as it's…read moresupposedly some of the best Thai in South Arlington and had to verify that. Was seated by a delightful young lady, and found the decor and layout to be quite pleasing; modest by elegant. As for the fare, it was indeed quite worth the walk. Ordered a bowl of Tom Yum and the Pad Thai Mun Goong. The Tom Yum was solid and quite flavorful, a flux of tangy lemongrass with the oniony sweetness of steeped scallions, and enoki mushrooms to provide some heartiness. The Pad Thai Mun Goong was a chef specialty pad Thai made with stir fried rice noodle, prawns shrimp tomalley oil (a crucial element for this version), egg and bean sprouts, naturally topped with green onions, peanuts and a lime for squeezing, and this also was quite phenomenal. Savory, sweet, a little tingle of sourness from the citrus in the mid-palate, and the juicy, briny shrimp balancing the dense carbs and rich flavorful sauce. All-in-all, I was well pleased this visit. As this is Padaek's second location, I hope they don't expand too much further/quickly and compromise on quality.

I came…read morefor a late lunch so I was basically the only person in the restaurant besides staff, so everything I ordered came out very quickly. I wasn't too hungry when coming in for a late lunch so I didn't get big plates. But I can 100% vouch for everything I ate. The Tom Kha was some of the best I have ever had! A slightly mild soup with chicken and coconut flavors (yummmm). I also ordered the mussels (I did not expect them to come in a broth since the menu says they are steamed) but they were surprisingly spicy and delicious. It came with some housemade chili sauce that was even spicier! There were like 7 mussels. Even though it was so spicy, the flavors were delicious so I bared through the spicy sauce. I ordered jasmine tea and it came as a packet of the jasmine tea with hot water. I would've loved it to be brewed loose leaf but that's ok. Overall, this place was delicious, and it was so cute! The decor inside doesn't give "Thai" but it's absolutely gorgeous and relaxing. There is a lot of seating as well and a whole parking lot.

The whole vibe and setting of the place is welcoming, casual and chill with a really cool interior. I've been here three times now and I can say all the dishes I've tried have been consistently flavorful, seasoned, spiced right and delicious!! My favorites so far are the Grilled Squid, Drunken Noodles, Panang Curry, and Pad See Ew noodle dishes. They even have enticing Thai desserts like Mango with Pandan sticky rice and Coconut Custard with sweet sticky rice which I haven't tried but it next on my list to partake and try. In all, you can't go wrong with this place! The customer service is great, the vibe is chill, relaxing, and most of all the food is delicious!! I highly recommend.

However, that was the only fast service we got. We waited for 10-15 minutes and still no waiter came. I asked someone if he could get us water and he said our waiter will be right with us. When our waiter finally came, he did not apologize for the wait. All through the night, food was very slow in coming out. Entrees probably took 30 minutes to come out. The food was honestly not very good. The pad Thai was too sweet. However, I did appreciate that they put the large shrimp in the pad Thai. Their lychee dumplings sounded interesting but it was such a miss. The combination of sweet/tart lychee did not go well with savory meat. Their fish was just okay. It did not take on the flavor of the sauce at all. Ambiance was fine. It is a modern looking place with clean bathrooms
