I wanted an early lunch, so I ordered online around 11:15 a.m. for pickup. Parking at this time was perfect, the lot was pretty much empty! I was happy about that because I know this parking lot can get packed during the lunch and dinner rush. I arrived about 15 minutes later and my food was already ready. The restaurant has a front entrance right off Columbia Pike, but you can also enter through the back from the parking lot, which is convenient. I ordered the chicken pad Thai and it came out hot and fresh. It was really good, saucy, flavorful, and a good-sized portion. I ordered the lunch portion, which was only $12, and it was plenty of food. Very pleased! I'll definitely be back. read more

Bangkok 54 Restaurant - Chicken Pad Thai - Thai Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Went to visit Bankgkok 54 twice now and had positive experiences during both visits. I've tried their drunken noodles, green curry pad Thai and last night their hot wok Thai style sweet and sour with chicken. Their hot wok options actually look the best to me. Service is really quick too. Ordered carry out and food was ready for pick up within 15 minutes. I would actually say it's probably one of the best Thai restaurants I've eaten at. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This place is amazing. I haven't had anything bad here and the service is great. I stop here every time I fly through DC.

Bangkok 54 is a the Roger Federer of the Thai food world, truly the GOAT! My husband and I used to live across the street during our DINK days and would order from here at least once ... but mostly multiple times a week. In fact we ordered here so much that we became friends with the delivery person. We were in the area and decided to stop in for old times sake and were met with the same comforting, delicious food that fueled us through our early twenties. We went with our go-to order, crispy squid with basil, yellow curry and pad see ew and both agreed nothing can touch this spot. In the year of our lord, 2025, they have added a new addition to the menu...sushi! We tried a hamachi ceviche and loved the freshness of the fish. I am actually glad we moved away, or else a majority of our paychecks would still be going straight to their bank account. read more

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. read more

The ambiance and service are amazing. I'm gluten free as a celiac. I have been to Bangkok 54 a few times in the past without incident. However, even after making my situation clear and asking about my dish, I was served food that had gluten in it. TO BE CLEAR, I ate it, believing it was GF, it was delicious! I miss gluten but not enough to eat it ever. A restaurant not being mindful with spoken allergies is really dangerous. I may go back but since I can't trust that it for sure will be gluten free, I'll have to only eat things I'm certain are gluten free. I was sick for days after and had mouth sores within the hour. The parking is difficult but it's Arlington so ‍ and the associated Asian supermarket next door is pretty cool. read more

I'll caveat this post by saying I normally eat on the market/noodle bar side and not the actual restaurant. I loveee it. There's something homey and comforting about the food they have. It's cheap, too. I love the Pork Boat Noodles and many of the weekend specials they've had. I also always grab plenty from the grab and go to eat throughout the week, too. read more

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?!... read more

I always go to grocery store since they have premade food cook already because I hate paying high prices for Thai foods. Location/ Ambiance 3/5- The restaurant itself it not a lot of space and can be quite loud. The ambiance is decent and with Thai decor. Nice place for family, celebration. The downside of this place it the minimal parking space that it shares with the grocery store. Food5/5- I am Thai and I find this place to be pretty authentic Thai but more central of Thailand flavor. Cripsy Tofu 5/5 ($7.95) - Nice and hot and crispy on the outside serve with sweet and sour chili vinaigrette. Good Appetizer for vegan Tom Yum Chicken 4/5 ($5.95) Basic but decent, not savory and sour enough like Thai style but I can't understand because the thai way may to be too savory and acidic if you not use to it. Pad Cha from the sea 5/5 (19.95) I love this dish but it not for everyone you have to like spicy but not just from Thai chili but from all the aromatic and herb such as fingerroot comparable to turmeric. The sea food was nice and fresh and perfectly cook stir fry in the savory spicy sauce. Yum Woosen 5/5 (10.95)- Cold noodle salad, it nice and light with sour, savory spicy top with ground chicken. if you like papaya salad or larb you will love it. Wonton soup 4/5 $5.95 - Good and soothing broth nothing special Pad Sator 5/5 ($18.95)- You won't find this in a lot of thai restaurant because of the smell and it hard to find the main ingredient Sator (Stinky bean). This dish is the bean stir fry with jumbo shrimp in chilli paste sauce. It savory and spicy with a funk but nice crunch to the bean like Edamame with a funky additive nutty taste. I would definitely come back went it not too busy, and the staff was super friendly. read more

We had Salt pepper calamari: excellent Tom Yam cocktail: good 54's Mai Tai cocktail: great Crab meat fried rice: very ordinari.

In short, the place is good, but according to the friends' recommendation we expected more. read more

Fantastic crab fried rice. Generous portions of food. More than enough to share. The staff were really friendly and very attentive to the needs of our group. They promptly refilled all of our drinks, cleared our dishes as soon as they were done, and they were mindful not to interrupt our meeting while still being proactive in attentive at checking on us. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable and the staff were in no hurry to shoo us away from the table when we were done. This is a really great spot to get Asian food in the area and I'll definitely be back. read more

Being from Southern California, it's hard to imagine a better place to experience Asian cuisine. So it was to our great pleasure to discover Bangkok 54. We totally loved the vibe and ambience of this eatery. Super clean and very nicely decorated. We ordered all of our favorites from the friendly waitress. The food came out promptly and was nice and hot. Our favorite was the Drunken Noodle with beef. The meat was flavorful and soft and the noodles were amazing! But everything we ordered was delicious. You can't go wrong here. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Ambiance: (5/5) I was just picking up my food but I went inside and there is plenty of seating. It seems like a great place to sit and talk. Price: (4/5) prices seem average for the area. $17 for the lunch special that comes with a small portion of sticky rice, a fresh roll (like a summer roll but with tofu and avocado), and your entree. Food: (4/5) I enjoyed my food. I liked the fresh roll because it was different than a normal summer roll that comes with shrimp. It had all the same crunch just with tofu and avocado. It came with the typical peanut sauce. The mango sticky rice was great. The rice was pretty sweet with the coconut milk but I really enjoyed it. The mangos were also perfect! My main entree was the Pad Thai (can't remember exactly what it's called, but it is a different version of pad Thai). It was pretty good. I wish it had more spices. I felt like the fish sauce was a bit overpowering and the shrimp didn't have much flavor at all. Service: (5/5) Staff was really nice and my food was ready right when they said it would be. read more

Bangkok 54 has a clean, nicely decorated interior, an extensive menu, wonderful food, and fabulous service. Definitely recommend. We ordered the duck roll appetizer to start - good portions of savory duck meat wrapped in roti with cucumber and a wonderful mustard-tamarind sauce. I could've eaten four more as a meal and been completely happy. For dinner, we shared the ginger flank steak and spicy eggplant. The steak was nicely marinated and comes with asparagus and mushrooms..though the eggplant dish was the star! Will be trying to learn how to make this dish at home. Absolutely delicious. Server was helpful in answering menu questions. Look forward to my return. read more

This spot is my heart! From arriving in the parking lot and realizing I can grab any ingredients they use from there market that's next door.

They have a bar that has a huge variety of libations. As I'm seated, I'm rushing through my memory and also the menu since I've been here a few times.. my go to is the duck rolls.

The entrees are great and the service is fast and efficient. Please try this spot if you need good energy along side good food. read more

Bangkok 54 is a great place for an authentic Thai meal. The flavors are deep and nuanced. The curry puffs with pickled cucumbers were excellent. I ordered the catfish curry and was told it was medium spicy but it was QUITE hot, so much so that my stomach was burning for a while later. It was so delicious but I had to slow down my consumption. Definitely recommend! read more

It was very loud and packed with patrons which was a sign to me that the food must be good and I was right! The food was really good. The menu was large with a good variety especially for vegetarians. I ultimately opted for the Panang Jae which came with rice and my protein was tofu. The tofu was soft and chewy while the curry was flavorful and just the right level of spicy. The portion sizes were good to eat the leftovers for another meal and the pricing was in line with many thai restaurants in the area but not too overpriced. I will definitely be trying other items on the menu next time! read more

Had the Drunken Noodles for take out at a friend's party a few months ago and I've been craving it ever since. Finally made it to the restaurant tonight and the DRUNKEN NOODLES JAE ($13.95) was fantastic! Spicy and flavorful but not too overpowering. The vegetables - broccoli, snap peas, carrots were slightly crunchy, cooked perfectly and delicious. The tofu was fresh was cooked just right. We also ordered the PAD SEE EW ($13.95) and it was delicious as well. Reasonably priced delicious dishes, generous portions served hot and fast friendly service. Authentic flavors which are not sweet like at other Thai restaurants. We'll be back again soon. read more

It reminds me of Peking duck but instead of a pancake, the duck is wrapped in a bread similar to roti. I would definitely get this again. The sushi was good for the price! $7 for each roll of 6 pieces. The crunchy roll had Rice Krispie pieces in it to make it crunchy? Haha at least that's what it seemed like. The rolls were average but satisfying for a sushi craving read more
