Located near the University of Chicago campus and walking distance to the lakeshore and the Museum of Science and Industry, Thai 55 serves-up a tradational Thai menu in a bohemian setting. Portions are generous, and the curryies bite the platate long after one swallows. The cat fish is tender and the squid excellent. Service can be spotty at lunch, with the staff mainly U-of-C students. The low prices and quaint college neighborhood more than make up for any occasional service shortcomings.
