Established in 2004. Many people ask about the history behind our name "Bangkok 54″. We believe that the number 'nine' is a lucky number, that's 'Gauo' in Thai, which means step forward. And traditionally, using a single digit is not as lucky as using number in pair, hence the 5 and the 4. Having a business name that bring luck and prosperity is good for any business. Well, we can't really take all the credit, because we actually inherited the name from the previous owner, who also inherited the name from the owner before him. We know that Bangkok 54 was the original name for an Oriental grocery store previously located in Alexandria. When we took over the business, it made sense to keep the legacy name that has been around more than 30 years and is well known among the Thai community.

First time coming here. It was a great experience. We didn't realize there were 2 sides but came in on the bar side. Sho was our server. She was very informative and listened to us on allergies and dishes. Whene we first got there we were greeted and we came a bit earlier than our reservation but called a head and they said it was OK to come in. The table we were going to be seated at floor was dirty. They cleaned it up with no problems. My party enjoyed their food and we had a pleasant birthday dinner. They sang and presented my partner with a lava brownie with ice-cream. The red curry was very spicy. The lava brownie cake thing was faaaantastic! I'd take some home with me.The bathroom was clean. To improve I would update the decor( as in I wasn't like wow let me take a picture) and make sure the area people are sitting are cleaned prior top and bottom. Overall had a pleasant time and would come again! Thank you!

I visited this restaurant with my family a while back and we enjoyed the Thai dishes they served. The food was freshly cooked and tasted delicious. The service was good and the restaurant was decorated with Thai traditional artifacts that created an inviting atmosphere. Overall, we left feeling satisfied with our dining experience.

It’s like walking into Bangkok. Lots of grocery options to choose from as well as prepared meals. On the other side there’s the food to order at the restaurant. Reasonable’ish prices and the staff were friendly and efficient. Parking is a bit iffy as there’s construction happening outside but still possible.

Food here are great… especially the boat noodles and pad thai… there are times though that I ordered for certain meals and the tofu was burnt… but they replaced it with a good one. Service are great… friendly.
