Reviews for Thai 55 Restaurant in Durham, NC

We do a lot of road trips and try to support locally owned restaurants. Give Thai 55 a try. We ordered 2 dishes for carry out.... The owner made sure mine was "not too spicy." He added an extra kick to my husbands dish (just the way he likes it). Theflavors all blended together perfectly. We both enjoyed our meals. The owner is super friendly and happy to chat with you. Heloves talking about playing golf. Read more

Ordered takeout with BJ and met him when I picked up my order just before closing. Super friendly guy! I wanted to have... leftovers for later and ordered 3 dishes. A) Tofu / basil fried rice : onions, fresh green beans, basil with egg. Love the freshgreen beans, quite crunchy without being raw. B) Tofu / Pad See Ew : broccoli florets. Very fresh and lightly crunchy, notovercooked at all. C) Drunken seafood : mussels, scallops, large shrimp, and squid with red & green bell peppers plus noodles. Ididn't realize this dish had thick rice noodles, I probably didn't need my other noodle dish. Place seemed to be a family runThai place. Located in the same lot as the Exxon gas station (until they move locations next year). Easy to drive up to and nothard to find. I really enjoyed the seafood noodle entree, I'll definitely be back! Note: Accepts credit card and phone inorders! Read more

I don't have much experience with Thai food but I'm determined to find something I enjoy. I wish I would have tried the Pad Thai... to compare other Thai places to get a sense but tried the BBQ chicken and shrimp fried rice instead. The waiter was pleasant,and I enjoyed the sweet and sour soup that was served. Read more

I have eaten here three times now and the food has always been on-point and authentic, with generous portion sizes. There is... great variety on the menu, so there is something for everyone. The restaurant serves wine and sake, which is a plus when dininghere for dinner. The servers are also very courteous and friendly. Love this place. Read more

Fresh, fast, delicious. Very flavorful. Good on the go spot. Conveniently located right behind Exxon off i40.

Staff was friendly and food was amazing. Hd the basil duck and definitely will be back.

I ordered beef pad thai but the order that was delivered had shrimp. I paid extra for beef pad thai. Also, the pad thai didn?t... have sprouts or green onion. Totally disappointed. Read more

I usually like this place. Had a disturbing experience when I discovered cloth-like material fibers on the broccoli and fish I... ordered halfway through eating the dish. The fibers were woven throughout the remaining entree but hidden under the sauce. Ishowed the restaurant, and they acknowledged the strange material. They would not show or explain how it was prepped to makecontact with this material. They tried blaming the supplier. No refund offered. No apologies. Just disturbing and disappointing.It pains me to write this about a local restaurant after the past year, but people should know. Read more
