Definitely my favourite Thai restaurant in durban, well maybe in South Africa too. The dishes are authentic, intense, spicy and yet balanced. Goos new venue is great. I’ve eaten his preparations before but this is definitely the best I’ve had. For me the Pad Thai pork was the best dish on the table. I was lucky to be able to sample all the meals on my table. The value is really good, actually cheap for this standard. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Had the most amazing experience here. The food was absolutely phenomenal! We had Chicken Potstickers and pork belly Boa Buns for starters, Crispy Line Fish and chicken Chu Chee with rice and egg noodles for mains, and coconut ice cream for dessert. I could not stop complimenting the food and how well it was prepared. The tastes was so full and enjoyable. Even though they did accommodate us as walk-ins, I would recommend you make a reservation as they are usually pretty full.

Our visit to Soi55 definitely lived up to our expectation. The owner Goo was a great host and leads his team extremely well. He personally greeted us when we arrived, was the one who prepared our food and made sure to greet us on the way out. Soi55 is a small intimate space which allows for each customer to be attended to with care. My experience was incredible and felt like I was teleported to the streets of Thailand. I would highly recommend booking a table as there is limited space. Be sure to order a delicious starter (spring rolls or potstickers). Although I do believe the meal is worth the price, don’t expect a budget friendly experience. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 350–400 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Staff were lovely even though busy.but the pad Thai was by far the oddest I have ever had. Button mushrooms, green, red and yellow peppers- cut thick. Butternut?? Burnt peanuts on top. Giant pieces of broccoli.Not one Asian veg and the sauce was just a STD stir fry sauce, under seasoned for me. I asked for tofu to be added. Was not done- not told whether is was due to no stock or forgotten. I was expecting so much more. Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Early dinner on Monday 06 Nov. Well received and good service with polite and charismatic staff. Seated outside, so it was nice and cool. There are some inside tables available. I had the Tom Yum prawn soup 🍲 😋 It was absolutely magnificent. However having followed Goo's (the owner) restaurant around his various locations from Blues (on the Beachwood golf course) to Umhlanga and now to Ballito I have noticed that the soup bowls have got smaller and at R135 its pricey BUT by far the best I've tasted. Mains were sticky lamb ribs for my Brother & sticky pork ribs for me. My ribs were too dry and were clearly pre-cooked and then basted with sauce. Still tasty... but I have had better with him before. All in all, it is always a great experience to attend Goo's restaurant Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 500+ Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Despite the very awful service, the food was excellent. Our starters came after a little more than an hour of waiting. Given that this was a gorgeous restaurant with tantalising aromas, we became a little irritated. Q stepped in to save the day when it came to our main dish. We were prepared to leave after the starters, but he actually succeeded in changing our minds. The staff must have proper training, comprehend the value of time management, and treat guests with care. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 150–200 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

It is a lovely setting with a great atmosphere and amazing service. The owner was very attentive and made sure to see to every table. The food was good; however, we found the sauce in the squid to be quite sweet, therefore not giving that authentic balanced Thai experience. The Massman curry was well presented, but again, lacked the depth of flavor which I was hoping for. On the whole, a great evening, and we will be back to try again!

I love Thai food so when Soi55 opened at the Lifestyle Centre in Ballito I had to try it out. Goo is the Chef and Owner and let me tell you this guy is a legend, attention to detail in each meal. I will absolutely be back and I would recommend Soi55 in a heartbeat Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person R 200–250 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Drunken Noodles Beef

Thai food where you can experience the layers of flavors. It been 15 years since I have tasted REAL Thai food. Already booked our table for next month, dying to work our way through the menu. For the quality - well priced. Excellent service from Lerato. New favorite on my list Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 350–400 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
