55 Thai Kitchen

TLDR* Easy walk to restaurant; big area to dine * Easy-going staff* Great Thai foodWent to 55 Thai on a late night and was not disappointed. The dining area is big enough to fit a whole party, or to have an intimate date night.The staff gave great recommendations on what food to get and what was popular.I ordered the Panang curry (wasn't able to get a photo) and was delighted with everything from flavor to portion size.Definitely going to be coming back!

This place is always bomb Affordable and FLAVORFUL most importantly The soups are $6 which is great because its the perfect portion size! I always hate getting a $13 soup for just 1 person. The pad se ew is top notch one of the best I've had. The medium spice is perfect, definitely has a kick but not overwhelming. They nailed everything here. Takeout or dine in.

The best Thai food I've had. I cant remember the last time I've enjoyed a meal so much. I wish I lived closer. Friendly staff. Fast service. Great space. Ordered green curry with Tofu. Crispy spring rolls. Pad See Ew with chicken. Brown rice. Thai coffee. All were 10/10.

I'm not gonna lie, the first time I came here a couple months ago I was a bit disappointed. I'd heard really good things, and I was expecting it to be quite so.. casual I guess? But this time I knew what I was getting, and it was much more enjoyable. This food isn't going to blow you away, but it's tasty and very cheap for SD. I got chicken pad see ew, a good sized portion, for like $14. It came over very quickly. It was a little greasy, and could've had more broccoli, but the chicken was yummy and the noodles were cooked well. The wooden tables are cute. The guys who work here are nice. Not a bad spot at all.

What a great spot for Thai food in Pacific Beach. It is one of the gems that I would say is worth visiting because it fed my whole family for a pretty good price. The crispy spring rolls were pretty good and crisp. The green curry was a surprising star because of the spicy of coconut and squash. We also got Tom Kha soup in the side of brown rice and steamed vegetables. I would skip the Massaman curry because it was a little too sweet for my taste.Worth a visit.

I came here on a Friday afternoon around 2pm as I used to work by the 55 Thai Kitchen downtown (it closed) and I ordered from there a lot and have fond memories of the food.The interior is huge. There is plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating (plus koi pond). There is a lot of greenery and water feature with plants.I walked to the counter and ordered thai fried rice (cause I am basic and it is what I always ordered and liked the best). To my surprise it came with a spring roll included.After a short wait I got my food. It was steaming hot! Fresh out the kitchen. But then I tasted it and it tasted burnt. I was hungry so I ate it but was disappointed as the only flavor was char/burnt. The chicken did not seem seasoned at all and it was overall very lackluster and not how I remembered it.It was a pain to get here as it is on the outskirts of PB and street parking nearby is hard to find. I parked about a half a mile away and walked and was really looking forward to it and it was just disappointing. Which I guess is a good thing as I won't want it again and can avoid the traffic and hassle of getting there.

Came here for lunch on a Sunday and had the whole place to ourselves. I think the restaurants atmosphere is great-- very open space with huge menu at cashier to look from. I love the casual concept of ordering at the front. I got the drunken noodles with chicken and was pleasantly surprised at how much vegetables they put in. I received way more vegetables than chicken. There were really only three pieces of chicken in my order, but the flavor was good. I will say I ordered it medium spicy but it was not at all spicy to me so I had to ask for chili oil. The staff was friendly and even came by to check on us and if we needed anything. The other sticking point is everything comes in throw away containers. It would be nice if they used plates and silverware to reduce waste.

My sister has been wanting to try out 55 Thai Kitchen so today we decided to have lunch there.I had the Pad Thai with tofu and it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! The gentleman behind the counter brought out 3 free egg rolls (my nephew was also with us) which was a pleasant surprise. I am totally in love with the ambiance of the interiors. Loving all of the greenery!!I would definitely recommend!

Food is absolutely amazing! Friendly staff and a cute modern vibe. Some outdoor seating available as well.

Good food, great if you dine-in it just seems more fresh (obviously because you don't have to carry it home then eat) but still seems different.) The employees are always really nice and accommodating for food allergies too. Been going here since 2019 when they opened and still make it there a few days a month. Only complaint is they forgot my CHICKEN last to-go order which I was already home! How dare them.
