About | Bangkok 54 Restaurant

A Name With History

We get asked about our name all the time. “Bangkok 54” has been passed down through three different owners, and it originally belonged to an Oriental grocery store in Alexandria. We kept it because the name already meant something to the Thai community—and to us, that history matters.In Thai culture, the number 9—pronounced “Gauo”—means progress. It’s lucky. But two digits are luckier than one. So “5” and “4” together still give us that step-forward energy.

Cooking Like Mom Taught Us

Everything we serve is made the way our mom makes it at home—no shortcuts. She’s our curry master, and trust us, she doesn’t compromise. If a dish is meant to be spicy, we leave it that way. If it’s not, we don’t sneak in heat just to please the crowd.

What Makes Us Special

We don’t use MSG. Not at home, not here. We stay true to what we eat in our own kitchen. We want you to feel good about what you're eating—and know exactly what's in it. If you have allergies, just let us know and we’ll make sure your meal fits you.

Make It Your Spot

We’re open seven days a week, with Happy Hour from 4:30–6:30 p.m. Come for a casual dinner, a drink with friends, or to plan something bigger—we host private parties and do full-service catering too. However you want to enjoy it, we’re ready for you.
