Ate lunch here while I was up for a night, it wa s absolutely amazing. Had the red curry with chicken and white rice, nice spice level, and then followed it with Their Thai Coconut Pudding, I really couldn’t get enough!!!! Everyone there was super kind as well!! I can’t wait till im in NYC again because im heading straight there
Ive had better Thai in Phoenix. For $104.00, including the tip they so kindly included, then expected me to add another, the five of us shared 2 orders of spring rolls the size of Vienna sausages, 2 orders of chicken satay and an order of pineapple fried rice. Our experience with the service was not as bad as others experienced, but the expense for such a small amount of food was ridiculous. I only regret I didnt take pictures.I think the service was better because one of our party was using a walker and we requested to sit outside so he didnt have to navigate the stairs. The hostess seemed to be very concerned.
Great tasty food close to Rockefeller ice rink. After an hour of skating, the green curry goes really well.
It could be better. Menu is lacking vegetarian options, like a tofu salad roll which is easily available in other Thai places.
The food was really good but it was better if there were more server.We had to wait sometime to order and some other time.
Really nice food and great service, will go again! Cute decor too.
Lovely intimate setting that reminded me a lot of my favourite Thai place back home in Amsterdam. The food was delicious and definitely worth your money, the staff was nice and there was a nice soft pop playlist on that somehow worked quite well with the interior. Can recommend!
I love This Restaurant! Best Thai Food in NYC and maybe in America and I have been eating in many Thai Restaurants! Beside the Perfect Food the staff Is VERY friendly! Since years I Always Come here when I am in NYC!
Ran in here for lunch before my train home after eyeballing it for a few days and Im really glad that I did. The food was reasonably priced, delicious, and the servers were all very nice. I ate in and the interior is small but attractive and cozy.
Food was delicious! There are several reviews where some said the service was rude. This is hard to believe. Our service was absolutely wonderful in helping us decide what to order. Cant wait to go back.
Great ambiance in both indoor and outdoor seating areas. Bangkok fried rice is my favorite. Every appetizer is delicious. Highly recommend!
It was terrible from the very beginning . It was close to closing time but if they wanted to go home then they should not have sat us . We should have walked away but we really wanted Thai food . They barely wanted to take our order feeling rushed and stressed. The food was very good . I had to request water twice . Was never asked what we wanted to drink . Would have ordered more stuff and did not feel welcome at all . They were all running around like chickens with no heads . Never came back to ask if we were ok . They handed us the bill without even asking if wea Ted anything else . The whole experience from beginning to end was terrible . Do not recommend it … stay away !!! Go somewhere else where people like their job !!! If there was a negative one star I would have chosen that
Food was great but drunken noodle was overly seasoned . Did not care for.
Not authentic. The food is sweet and we were overcharged. They charged us the dinner menu when we had a lunch menu. It’ll keep the lunch crowd happy, but if you’ve been to Thailand you’ll be disappointed.
The fried rice chips are really good with the peanut sauce. The pad Thai noodles and the pineapple rice are delicious. It hit the spot and ofc I can’t forget my Thai iced tea😍🤗
This is some of the best Thai food I have had. The service was great too. The waiter was prompt and kind. Quality of the food was on point. Super delicious !
While not all of the dishes are great (Im talking about you, BBQ chicken), and in general the dishes tend to be too sweet, the dancing chicken and fried rice are pretty good (maybe just ask them to go light on the oil).
Pad kraprao, really good.Staff friendly, nice clean place. Cozy little place i will go back again.
A very cute place and I loved the lighting! The portions are nice and the food was great. I’d go there just for their Thai Iced Tea!
If you are a person of color, do not come here. This restaurant is racist and the staff are very rude. They simply do not care. I went with my family for dinner and we were stopped outside while other “lighter skin” guests were sat. When we complained, they just told us that they’re busy. Would not recommend….RUN
We came as a group of 7 and ordered 7 different plates as well as a soup and everything was phenomenal! They were all very friendly and owner came and talked to us at the end of the meal and was as sweet as can be!
Was seated immediately. Staff was mostly kind and friendly. Its good to call ahead for reservationsFood. Pad thai was good, not outstanding. Plenty of chicken..My husband had a beef salad. He enjoyed it. However there was minimal food.What found interesting, there was hot seeds in the honey, I enjoyed spicy jasmine tea.I would go back.
Super friendly and quick takeout order. Pad Thai was especially good...along the the to go Mai-Tai! Not a spicy recipe but exceptionally good flavor!!!
Food was very delicious. Staff were very professional, classy, and helpful with the menu! Reccomend, this restaurant if you love GOOD food!
Great place. Service was excellent and food was great. They have a cute outdoor seating which made the experience amazing. I would eat here again! Highly recommended!
Excellent Thai restaurant in Midtown West. Food is flavorful and portions are big. They do not take online reservations but you can call and book a table. I have been here many times. My favorite are red curry, green curry, drunken noodle, pineapple fried rice, curry puff, green mango salad, coconut sticky rice with fresh mango when in season. Service is quick and place is always packed.
Pretty good service and food was amazing and tasty
Great service and great food. We had the pad Thai and green chili soup. Both meals were amazing! The atmosphere is very romantic with low dim light and soft music. Keep in mind the rest room is located near the kitchen and its pretty short. Im 6 feet and I felt like I was about to hit the ceiling. Dessert was also really good!
Top shelf! Incredible Authentic Thai ICE TEA. THANK YOU SANDY! Very busy. Popular. Great fast service. Try it. You wont be disappointed. I liked the Fancy Noodle .. great mix of Thai flavors. Served very hot.
The Chicken Satay and Dancing Chicken were great! We ordered the Fancy noodles, which were okay, a bit bland to our taste but not too bad. The Pad Thai couldve been better. A lot of aftertaste of fish oil in it. We also ordered the Spring rolls... The crispiness and quality was good though a bit more stuffing wouldve been good.Overall the ambience and service was great. Worth a try.
I really enjoyed my first visit to this Thai restaurant. The reviews were positive and I wanted to try with my friends. The service was friendly and the venue was clean with nice high ceilings on Sunset Blvd. we tried the Shrimp Pad Thai and Pad See Ew which were both excellent. I also tried the Thai ice tea which was not too sweet and delicious. I will return again when Im in the area.
Cozy festive atmosphere! I had the best Mango salad ever!! Excellent, caring service!
The best boat noodles in Los Angeles, without a doubt. I also love their duck soup with egg noodles is one of my favorites,the broth is sooo rich and savory, with herbs and spices. For the first time, I tried the sweet and sour chicken with chicken satay that i ask on the side, and also ordered one more order to-go the chicken was overcooked by the time I got it home, but overall, this is a dish that is best eaten immediately away.
One of the best Topaz Thai Authentic spots in town. The food is very flavorful and not too heavy. I enjoy their pad Thai with shrimp and their Thai iced tea. I wish I lived closer so I could order more often.
This is now my new favorite Thai place! I actually found it because of my fellow google here. The coconut is a great start. I love their chicken larb, duck curry, yellow beef curry, pad Thai and mango dessert. A must try!
The best Tom Yum soup I have ever had - the broth was spectacular! Great Bangkok Fried Rice and wonderful Green Curry Chicken, too. No wonder this place has been here for years.
Our first time. my wife and i opted for all appies. mango salad, chicken sate, chive lover & pork dumplings, all fab and in that order of most fab. the rice chips with peanut sauce was a nice complimentary touch, and the house cab sauv and jasmine tea were quality. probably the most attentive service we have had during our week here. the total was $76 cad including tip, very reasonable for nyc standards. no doubt we will remember this place and return.
My go-to Thai lunch spot in midtown. Can usually find a table and has great Thai dishes. Have ordered lunch from them for years and set up lunch dates for catch-up.
At over 2,000 reviews and 4.5 stars, it was about time I tried Hoy-Ka Thai Restaurant. I dont know if Id technically label this restaurant as being in Thai Town, but its certainly in very close proximity. On a Sunday night, it was pretty empty, perhaps due to the Super Bowl going on.
Very bad taste, Tom yum soup was sweet and watery.Dancing chicken was so bad, my stomach is upset now. Some garbage they gave on the name of broccoli and spring rolls as starter was like drinking oil from a frying pan. Waste of $50 with more Doctors bills coming up
Every time my office chooses to order food from this place, it is the same story- doesnt matter how many times you tell them to make sure it is MILD- meaning NO JALAPENOS PEPPERS OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAKES IT HOT AND IMPOSSIBLE TO EAT!However, every time I take more than 2 bites, it sets my mouth on fire and my throat starts closing up and the rest of the food ends up in the garbage.Save your money and aggravation and just order some place else .
The ambience is really good and feels so comfortable in the midst of a busy city. The food is so tasty. I had the Thai Basil Fried Rice, it was so simple yet so tasty. The staff was very friendly. I would love to eat here again!
Food was good. I think its a solid Thai option and the noodles were great. Also spice levels were good.
A good Thai restaurant in midtown Manhattan. The food is tasty and reasonably priced. Would recommend this restaurant if your looking for a quick bite. Also good for vegetarians.
Ordered spring rolls and a chicken shrimp curry noodle special. The food was good but the chicken and shrimp curryhad two shrimp...yes, two...I felt the shrimp was a but of a garnish vs. an equal companion to the chicken. The noodles were literally clumped together; I asked for the rice noodles vs wheat noodles and they were all stuck together and overcooked. The flavors were good but the two shrimp and overcooked noodles made it just okay
Yummy food. Killer Mai Thai. Great friendly staff. Fast food and service. Absolutely recommend for a relaxed dinner out in the area.
Their Thai iced tea is great!!!Server was a sweetheart and the outdoor seating is gorgeous
The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We got the pad Thai and see ew noodles, they arrived fast, hot and taste great. The atmosphere was calm and friendly. If I lived closer Id come back all the time.
Topaz is a small, intimate sized restaurant but what they lack in space they surely make up for it in the service, food, and decor. The rice chips with the peanut sauce is soooo delicious. I ordered the Red Curry Coconut Shrimp and its a dish anyone must try.
Maybe put the fresh mushroom in your Tom yum paste soup will make it a little professional.
The atmosphere of this restaurant was pleasant and the food is delightfully delicious. Ben and Sandy co-served us and were each welcoming and attentive to our needs. The set up was cute and thoughtful considering the pandemic and our wait time between us being seated and our food being delivered was minimal. Drunken noodles and Bangkok fried rice were our choices from the menu. They were both equally tasty and I look forward to visiting this restaurant again!
We had a lunch reservation and got seated in about 5 minutes. The Chicken Pad Thai was fine, however I have been craving that Thai Ice Tea ever since!
I recently visited this restaurant with the intention to have an amazing family dining experience. The restaurant aesthetic was simple on the inside and outside. Their food was tasty too, however simplicity and taste are not good enough reasons to say I REALLY enjoyed this restaurant. Based on my experience at this establishment 1 star is even too much.For starters, prior to visiting this restaurant I made a reservation 2 days in advance. After traveling a half hour with young children and waiting 10 minutes to speak with the hostess, I was told I never made a reservation. The minute I said Hi, I have a reservation I was cut off by the hostess and she rudely said I said no reservations. I said walk ins only. She did not even care to hear that I made the reservation 2 days in advance. I was told that we would have to wait 15 minutes for a table, which did not seem like much until it turned into 45 minutes! When we finally sat down, we were placed at a table for 7 when we had a party of 8. It was my mistake however the waiter RUDELY said I have no chairs. You said 7. I understood my mistake, however, there were plenty of chairs outdoors that were NOT being used. If the waiter truly cared about his customer he would have went outside and brought one in. After waiting an hour to be seated, the waiter brought some water and left for 20 minutes to help other parties that came in AFTER mine. When we call a waiter over, he was very rude. He was upset we were not giving him the order fast enough. At this point, it was clear that the restaurant LACKS customer service skills. The waiter later on brought out our meals at DIFFERENT times and one was MISSING. When we told the waiter he got very defensive and made it seem like HIS mistake was OUR fault. The last meal to come out was meant to be shared with a 5 year old. It was truly ridiculous.Upon leaving the restaurant, the hostess came back to speak with us. When I explained to her the initial reason for being upset, she said that she did NOT care and that she does NOT want us back at the restaurant.Before completing this review, I would like to mention how sanitary this restaurant is by keeping the customer restroom INSIDE the kitchen.Im truly disgusted with this establishment and I truly DO NOT KNOW how they are STILL in business.
My Drunken Noodle was really delicious, didnt really enjoy my Mai Thai though!
Really good food but may not be best spot if dining with small kids.
Always agreat place for good Thai Food. Quick service,nice staff. Great curries.
The food just wasn’t anything special. Also asked for it to be spicy and it wasn’t. I would go anywhere else honestly
Restaurant is small and cramped, but the food is delicious. Its a good affordable choice for dinner prior to an event at Carnegie Hall.
Excellent all around...food and service ....small but snug cute and clean
The food at Topaz Thai is amazing! My office orders lunch almost once a month from this establishment and we have never been disappointed. Our go to dishes- Drunken noodles, Thai Fried Rice, Bangkok fried rice and the Coco Calamari.Today after work, I decided to have the dine in experience. Both Ben and Sandy who waited on us, did an amazing job. They were very polite, and Helpful when it came to choosing a different appetizer and bringing out our dishes, in a timely manner.I can’t wait to have the dine in experience again!
Ordered online for pickup. Easy process, ready pretty quick for a Saturday night. Ordered the spring rolls and drunken noodles. Spring rolls were mini and just average. Noodles had good flavor but the chicken was a little over cooked and tough. Overall, food was good and service was quick.
Horrible restaurant. The staff are so rude, please don’t waste your money
Very nice casual Thai restaurant on West 56th Street behind City Center performance hall. Would definitely recommend before or after a show.
Great food I went to the one on the left for lunch. Two separate locations however side by side.
Great food, very intimate. Prices are very good. I would recommend!
Scrumptiously amazing meal! Beautiful place to eat peacefully and quietly.
Good food, nice people. Egg rolls are tiny, but I love their Pad Thai noodles.
Food , Drinks and service were exceptional. A quaint little place. True thai cuisine
I love this place! The food is always delicious (especially the drunken noodles) and the decor is so thoughtfully done. They have put in the effort to keep customers coming during the pandemic, and it shows. I look forward to returning!
Gluten intolerant/celiacs beware. They said everything was gluten free on their menu if made w/ tamari instead of soy sauce (we called, asked the waiter, and asked the person who delivered the food to our table) so I trusted them. I ended up having to be taken to Lenox Hill by ambulance a few hours after eating and spent the night in the ER. Super sad this happened.
So yummy! Great food & ambiance! Highly recommend!
If you look at the menu you will see that Pad Thai cost 9-10 bucks. I ordered over the phone and went to pick it up and the owner tried to Charge me 15 bucks for each plate. When I told her the menu says otherwise, she said she does not care what it says and tried to shift the blame on customers. I left. The place should not be in business.
I give 5 star ratings, to places that make my wife and I feel at home, literally! The flavors, texture, and drinks were on point. The Pineapple Rice and Chicken fried rice was a delicious meal on to themselves
Super tasty food. Good price.
Nice atmosphere. Delicious food. Pleasant waitstaff.
Food was ok. Good portions and reasonably priced. Had the pad thai and pineapple fried rice with egg rolls. The restaurant is small biy they also have outdoor seating. Good spot for some dinner.
Delicious chicken pad thai. Customized spicy was just right for me.
Absolutely amazing in every sense of the word. The owner couldnt have been nicer and the restaurant itself is a very humble house for the food they make! I will definitely be eating there again!
Really good spot with good vibes and seems to be popular. Started off with some pork dumplings, very flavorful. Chicken Satay was good, could have used a little more of the cucumber, carrot, and onion garnish. The roasted duck in red curry was fantastic with the sweet pineapple, spicy peppers, tomato, and onion. The skin on the duck was very crispy. The thick noodles were so tasty, they had such a great texture. Had a lemon drop, it was fine.
One of my favorite spots near central park. The food here has consistently improved over the last decade or so.I recommend being daring and ordering beyond the typical pad Thais and the like you may be used to from takeout Thai restaurants. Try their dancing chicken for a surprisingly filling and spicy mix of lean chicken. I have yet to order something I did not like. The portions are usually generous and I find myself taking a doggy bag home each time. Some food may taste sweet but the calories and sugar content are quite reasonable.It can feel quite cramped at peak time so beware of coming with large groups. It is close to Carnegie hall which also attracts tourists.
Great food, service and place. food was ready super quick and prices are good. The entrance is little be careful 😊 not to miss it, the experience is amazing.
Pleasantly surprised! After reading some SERIOUSLY mixed reviews I was worried that I made the wrong restaurant choice for a quiet reunion with two of my coworkers. When I entered, the restaurant had about 7-9 people eating their dinner. It was dark but not too dark and there was some music playing in the background. Around 7:30pm the place started to pack up but I never felt like the waiters were being inattentive. I had the pad see ew with shrimp and it was so good. Perfectly cooked and the shrimp actually had flavor! Their presentation was very clean and nicely done. I would definitely return! It was a nice little spot, good service and delicious and affordable food.
Best thai food ever! Big portions and not expensive.
Not authentic, dont try their special menu. I had the green curry fancy noodle has a strange combination of vegetables that do not mix well with the curry (too hard and crunchy). And we had to wait almost an hour for this dish. My friend dried a fried rice and that tasted much better.
OMG the food was so good! I ordered the red curry and the coconut soup. Amazing experience. Really Thai food.
What a wonderful experience. We tried three dishes and each one was full of flavors that I can say are some of the best I have experienced. Having been to Thailand our expectations are high but I havent tasted anything this authentic West of the Atlantic. Nice setting too!
The service was fast. To fast!! They rush you in and out in 20 minutes. The food was ok, not near as good as food in Chang Mai. The service was rude. We paid in cash, and due to being rushed like an animal in and out of the feed trough, we did not feel like leaving a large tip. We had our tip returned to us by the server and she told us we owed her 18% tip. I asked her if tipping was volunteer? She got mad and said, “So you leave no tip?” I said that is correct and we left. She could have kept the tip we left when paying the bill. But she was rude and greedy!
The place overall is very average. Its very small and they have bad service. To start, the water glass I received had lip marks. Incomplete orders, took forever to get one dish and didnt clean up the dirty plates even when the table was cramped and small. They werent attentive, had to request for water refill and serving spoon for dishes. Also had to pay extra for rice- seriously!!! Only positive thing to say is the Golden nest was the only good dish. Overall Very Disappointing!Also not good for families with kids. Bathroom doesnt have a changing table.
The food is good, the lady in the front always gets my order wrong. And the last time I went she got it completely wrong, I cant eat eggs I was telling her no eggs and she ignored me and talked over me. She was very rude
Nice little place. Great thing to get is the papaya salad. Fried rice and curry was delicious. People have been claiming its not authentic. I dont really get that. Food was still good likeeee. Service was friendly,dining room was clean. Was pretty small so Id suggest dont bring more than 4 people. Maybe theyre saying its not authentic cause they do play American pop music. But like, mid 2000s pop lol
I totally love pad thai chicken and squid was the best I have ever tried. Fast service & clean unisex bathroom.
The vegetarian rice is amazing. Tofu was also good. Will come again for sure
Simple yet elegant Thai food close to Times Square! Food was delicious! Restaurant was a little cozy, but the owners seem to have opened a second location 2 fronts down from the original (the newer one has much nicer decor and a bit more space but it is still a small restaurant). The staff were friendly but after our entrees were delivered he never came back to refill our water. Overall great food for a very reasonable price for the area!
Best of the best. The green curry is to die for, we come here every week. Have tried most of the many Thai restaurants in Hells Kitchen and Midtown, and this is definitely our favorite. Do not go to their sister restaurant next door (Topaz Noodle) - completely different menu and its not good.
Small place with a decent amount of seating. We were greeted and seated quickly. Very dark in regard to lighting. Very limited beer selection (they only have one type to choose from). We had a Singha beer, Thai iced tea, calamari, and green curry with chicken. The calamari was great. It had a mayo and siracha sauce dip. The green curry was great and not too spicy (my preference). The dish came with very little rice. Staff was OK but friendly.
Food is not authentic Thai but fine. Lunch specials arent that special (or cheap) when nothing is included with your entree except for a plastic bag filled with fried rice chips that nobody wants. The website says salad included, which would be nice, but apparently thats wrong and they havent bothered to update that. The amount of food is generous though, so I guess thats the trade off.
Food was delicious. Service is a little weird.
The absolute best Thai food in New York and my favorite restaurant ever. The pad Thai and coconut curry is amazing. Also the drunken noodles. I never have to wait and the atmosphere is perfect.
Food is tasty! Beer was iced. Qty for dinner portions was very less for the price. And Gratuity for 4 people was 18% already included even though we were the only people in the restaurant! No customer service value at all!
I had the Special BBQ Chicken with chili sauce and my wife, Susan, had the Green Curry. Both were superb. We were greeted promptly and served quickly. And since we walked out of a near by restaurant only moments before because we were being ignored, it was great.
My wife went there for lunch and ordered the Chicken Green Curry with white rice. They said it would be spicy, but it was more sweet and salty. 30 minutes after the meal she felt ill, vomited, and had diarrhea. She was perfectly fine prior. We called the restaurant to inform them, and they seemed very apathetic to our complaint. Whoever answered the phone did say that hell inform the chef. 2.5 stars for poor taste, negative stars for food poisoning. People have lives, jobs, and families to take care of. Please be careful when serving food!
Apparently coming here on a Friday night we get a seat waiting for us. Lucky me.Service is wonderful. When my eye meet the waiters, he knows what I needed. Opening the menu and I suggest you go for the swimming duck. Its a bit expensive but I feel the calling. The duck is destined to be my dinner. I was not disappointed at all. The sauce and flavour is at 110%. My gf got an normal noodle dish but she still finished it to the bottom.
Outdoor seating was really cute! They made an effort to amp up the ambience and definitely loved it. Food was delicious! Drinks were amazing!!
Intimate and located near our hotel, Le Porter Meridian, on our way to the theater, we walked in without a reservation and got the last open table. The food was excellent and not expensive. I loved my Tom Yum Shrimp soup and my mild-plus minced chicken entree (forgot the name) included basil leaves and Chinese broccoli beside a mound of brown rice. My companion loved her green curry dish with chicken and a plump helping of avocado slices. We had no idea this restaurant is so well-regarded -- it was just convenient on a rainy night to two tourists with sore feet! Two suggestions: please add eggplant choices to the menu and keep refilling customers water goblets.
I often take my friends to this restaurant with my warmest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The the food there is yummy and the team is very friendly and cooperative. always when we visit this place we have a pleasant evening. I recommend this place with pleasure.
New Topaz Thai is as good of a Thai place as you can get. Not only are the options absolutely delicious, but they are super affordable as well!The meal starts off with complimentary shrimp chips and peanut sauce, a nice touch that a lot of Thai restaurants lack. I ordered the green curry with chicken and it transported me back to my travels in Thailand. Very authentic! The curry was a nice portion, and was very savory.Great for friends and family! I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back in the future.
Our group of five made a reservation at the restaurant in person, hours before our arrival, one Saturday evening in December. We arrived on time but the host questioned whether we had in fact made a reservation because we werent on his handwritten list. After running around for a few minutes checking with his staff he found our reservation on the back-side of his list. After a wait of 15 minutes were were seated in this very crowded restaurant. We ordered a duck dish but were told they were out of all duck dishes even though a duck dish was listed as a special that evening. The dishes we ordered were fine but we were disappointed at the lack of our favorite duck dishes. After were received our bill we found that they had charged us for coffee that had not arrived. As we left we saw that patrons on several tables were enjoying duck meals. We returned to question the manager who told us that a fresh supply of duck had just been delivered. Not sure this was the truth. We have been to this restaurant several times over the years and enjoy the food but it is very small and the tables are very closely spaced. Try to go in off-peak periods.
I get take out from here all the time! She makes great authentic Thai food at a crazy low cash only price.We pretty much always get the pad see aw and panning curry. Its consistently delicious and generous for the price.The egg rolls are great too.
Always delicious. Food arrives fast. Its not as good as it used to be, as theyve made it more Americanized Limited beer menu, could be improved, but a lovely selection of cocktails! Pad Thai is the standard, but try the Drunken Noodles, especially if you like spice!
Very disappointed in the food. We ordered four appetizers and three main courses. All the dishes were very sweet. Seems like they have a house sauce they use in all their dishes. All the dishes tasted the same Absolutely no spice, tartness or garlic in any of their food. We ordered the Pad thai and the whole fish with the sauces. All sweet tasting. Not authentic Thai at all. This restaurant is off my list.
Great authentic Thai food, well seasoned and generous portions. Servers a bit lacking as far as organization and attentiveness, but I would go back for the foods any day. Full bar available. Now I need to try the noodle side of the restaurant!
One of the best Thai place in the city, went there on a Christmas Eve, the ambience was good. The price are good too, I tried Drunken Noodle with Thai papaya salad, which was adding to the taste. It was amazing experience, I would recommend to try it and would turn out to be your favourite place.
Charged for someone elses meal, and not refunded and no return phone call. Of course disputing with my bank. This was after a decent dinner so Im disappointed and will never return.
Fantastic vibes and super personal service. The meals were fresh and delicious. Will definitely recommend this spot to others. Convenient prices and big portions. Keep up the great work.
I tried to love this place, but all 4 times Ive gone, theres been at least one issue. Last time I went, I came with a party of 7 late at night on a monday when the restaurant wasnt even 1/3 full. We wanted to split the check, but they said they couldnt do that. They wanted to make sure they got their 18% gratuity. Between lukewarm food, bones in chicken, grumpy/unresponsive staff, and forgotten orders, I wont be going back anymore. Its such a shame because their food was very good.
Cozy little place. Glad that we found it. The service was quick. The food didnt stand out in any particular way but it was surely not an average Thai place. I tried the Pad Thai with Tofu and it was good, and again, nothing too special about it.
Delicious. Not seated on top of each other like is common in this area. Brought out puffed rice ? with peanut sauce that was amazing before we even ordered. Each dish was better than the last. Prices excellent for this area.
Decent Thai food; poor service. Low prices are the main draw here. For dinner, my party of 4 ordered 2 salads and 3 entrees. Different runners brought 1 wrong salad and 1 wrong entree. Not a major league batting average.
Great food and service! Very tasty food. I went with a group of 5 people, we all got different dishes and they were all amazing! The food was so nicely decorated and delicious.
Horrible Service. Staff really needs to be trained to be hospitable. Food was average but the 1 Star is only because of the horrible behaviors by the staff
Got the Lovely in the golden nest dish. They hardly put any crispy noodle in the dish. It was a disappointing experience.
Revamped menu from an year ago.. We moved away from the area and visiting after 7 months and the entire family wanted to to eat at topaz...We loved the dishes we ordered.. We are spring rolls, Bangkok fried rice with chicken, green city with beef, drunken noodles, chicken with bail and chili sauce and tomyum soup.. Ask the dishes were great. The serving staff is new and are slow to respond.We ordered some dishes for take out and they brought them in plates and had to be sent back to repack. All the food we ordered was not in the bag and we didnt check before Irving and had to return for a fish which we really wanted..So more work to streamline is neededFood is awesome and I would go back again
Is the best Thai food and service is really good
Get the swimming duck, its absolutely fantastic. Very nice staff.
Food is always great. Had the Bangkok fried rice with chicken. Their Pad thai is also awesome. Take out and delivery, as well as dine in.
Fast service, insanely quick, good if youre catching a show or perfomance nearby at Carnegie Hall etc. and are trying to make a curtain time, or to get back to the office for lunch. Priced very reasonably for midtown. The curry peanut sauce in the beef dish I ordered was very savory with just enough heat. Ill be eating here again.
The service was horrible and food was also not so great. I ordered spicy Bangkok fried rice but it wasn’t spicy at all. When I asked them to make it spicy or order something else they said they can give hot sauce but can’t change or exchange it. The server was really rude the food quality wasn’t great. I have been here before but the quality has gone down.
We had dinner a few weeks ago. Ordered Tom Yum Shrimp which was excellent while the Pad See Ew and other foods were less so. The worst part was when the waiter came up and demanded 15% tips because he said I only gave 10% which ai thought was fair based on their services. It was not pleasant.
Vegetarian reviewWarning: This Thai restaurant is NOT vegetarian friendly. They basically make a concoction of their curries without any curry paste since they all contain fish sauce in them.The food you order will be tasteless and sweetish from all the caramelized onions.The manager was honest enough to tell me the details.
I was looking for something different to have for lunch today. I was craving thai food. Something spicy! I ordered the spicy fried rice with pork. Nice heat, the rice was cooked perfectly, and the pork was tender. I called my order in over the phone and picked it up at the restaurant. Ill be back forsure! Maybe tomorrow.
Do not order from here. I tasted the food, spit it out and threw it out. I was very frustrated in wasting $15 on bad massaman curry and having to search elsewhere after coming to Topaz starving. The food tastes awful. It doesnt taste right at all.
Ive only tried the Giant Spare Ribs at Topaz but that one particular dish is incredible. Nice juicy tender ribs. My colleagues have tried a few of the other dishes and the consensus among us is that theyre awesome! If youre around 56th Street, definitely give it a try.
Tried the calamari,pineapple fried rice, satay skewers, and pad Thai. Everything tasted great. Prices were what youd expect. Staff was friendly. Id definitely go again.
The Food is allways very Good !
Food was mediocre. First Thai restaurant I ever ate at where I left hungry. Their crying tiger dish is a joke and they charge $18 and give you very little meat. Place is so dark that you cannot even read the menus. Cramped and very noisy.
Loved the cozy atmosphere and the food and service was great. They give you complimentary prawn crackers with satay sauce which is delicious. Little bit cramped but thats typical New York!
Although my friend and I had to queue for c. 15 minutes to get our table, the food was definitely worth the wait. The Pad Thai noodles with shrimps were delicious, and the Apple Martinis and Mohitos were a decadent treat!
Great selection of classic thai dishes with excellent service. Highly recommend the spring rolls and dumplings for appetizers.
Food is great. Sat down once with a friend to share a couple of dishes. We asked for some plates to share with and they brought back coasters lol. The guy was new. Still a great place for excellent Thai food
Not worth it. Really tiny space, so theres a feeling of being rushed. The staff is pushy, and seems upset if you dont order enough. Hello? My $97 meal indicates I didnt need more. I ASKED about the sticky rice, and all of the sudden it became an order. The food was okay, but overall a poor value.
Very tasty. Beautiful setting, really great attentive service. Readable prices
Friendly service and yummy pad thai. The outdoor dining space is lovely with cheerful, floral decor.
Their food was okish...the 2 star is for the food and Thai milk tea....and the negative 3 stars is for the rude female who worked their....
The place is clean and cozy but the food very subpar, I ordered the drunkard noodles and muss. curry .... I am going to attach photos; view the noodles, it was cut in a mess way and the flavoring applied very unevenly ... probably due to the noodles being cold and lumped together, and the curry, take a look at the salad ... quite paltry and just lacked neatness ...
Excellent Thai food! Ordered the Chicken Cashew Nuts, and it was delicious. A small, intimate little place. Very reasonable prices. Staff was attentive. Highly recommend!
A top place for delicious Thai food. The staff was very kind and attentive. Prices are appropriate. Feeling here is like a restaurant in Fort Worth I liked.
Can get very full over lunch time. After waiting maybe 10-15 minutes we got to sit upstairs. The upstairs room didnt seat many people so it was a nice quiet ambience. Food was amazing!
Very nice food and staff
I used to love, love, love this cozy restaurant and I still like it but my favorite Thai dish - peanut curry chicken wasn’t as flavorful as it had been. There was a time when I used to compare all other Thai peanut curry chicken to Topaz’s dish. Sadly not anymore, My replacement is Pongsri on 48th and 8th Ave- seriously o frills but quick, cheap and quite flavorful! My restaurant companions enjoyed their vegetarian pineapple fried rice and chicken pad Thai - immensely. Order your Thai ice tea without ice and request a small glass of ice. They have a nice appetizer- crispy chips and peanut sauce. A little chinzy on the portions but quite tasty. Moderately priced.
First time dinning here, near central park and the food was delicious.Had Super Pad Thai which was the best I have had to date. The Lychee Thai Tea was also delicious.Friendly, courteous and prompt staff.
Good food, vegan options, mock duck. Nice Street tables, lightly heated
Great food, and service. I have lunch /dinner with my girlfriend here often and during work breaks. Theyre happy to accommodate our time constraints and even let us split dishes no problem.
A wonderful, tiny little restaurant near to Carnegie Hall. In fact, my partner and I go before evenings at Lincoln Center. The decor is a bit dark, but its cozy and inviting. Ask to sit in the window seat and watch people head to City Center or Carnegie Hall. I recommend the drunken noodles- the best Ive tasted in the city.
I was disappointed but I think that was due to my choice of dish. I went for BBQ chicken which tasted like a cheap American BBQ dish rather than anything Thai. Would give it another chance and pick a curry next time.
My Bill was for $35.93 and the restaurant charged me $42. Now I see from where they getting their revenue.I would recommend everyone to check their bill and bank statement after every visit to this particular restaurant.And the worst part, the staff was so arrogant and unhelpful.
Amazing authentic Thai food. We almost missed the place but we went in since it was beside our hotel. Still dreaming about the red curry and calamari. A must try if you are in New York city!
For Thai food lovers! The food is awesome, the staff is nice. A bit noisy, but this is NYC. Try the. Swimming Duck, my personal favorite.
The spot was a little crampy. The food I ordered tasted like ground beef I eat at home. Not sure how a paki dish tasted Thai. Guess there similarities. There are other Thai spots in the area that are better.
Good Thai place! Excellent pumpkin & curry prawns, good chicken pad thai and dumplings! The spring rolls were not too special. Fair price.
In a perfect location, this Thai restaurant is authentic and provides a great lunch special. It is relatively small but there is quick service and delicious food. The pad thai and Massaman curry are my favorites!
Great Thai, cozy atmosphere.
The thai iced tea tasted weird as if it was made with dish water. One of our servers was very nasty and had an attitude when we request chop chop sticks for our meals.
Great lunch spot. Very quick and delicious food. I loved how they put the full price for what the meal cost after taxes and tip on their menu.
GREAT FOOD!!! Outstanding service!! Recommend the Thai red Chicken curry!! Very flavoursome... ILook forward to coming back to New York; just for a Topaz Thai meal... 100% Reccomend!...
As with everything else in mid-town if you dont have a reservation youre lucky to get in. Lucky for us we got in and had excellent service. Food was fast and very tasty.
Love this place! The green curry chicken and papaya salad are so delicious and the service is fast and friendly. If you like Thai food you will love this place!
One of the best drunken noodles I’ve ever had!
Me and my date loved it at Topaz. We went here after the MoMA. We had a nice table near the window away from everyone else. The servers were attentive and food was great!
Decent food. Can recommend the Dancing Chicken. Some dishes may be spicy but they refill water often and serve simple prawn crackers.
Good food and the patio is really cool for outdoor dining. Quick service and on top of things. Good prices and reasonable as well.
They refused to serve us food even though we were one hour before the closing time.Worse service and customer service ever had. Extremelly rude waiters and horrible way to aproach us and explaining things.Would never ever recomend this restaurant.
Food was BOMB. LOVED the swimming duck and calamari the most. Drunken noodles and Lychee iced tea tastes great as well.
So. Soo. Sooooo good. Best Pad Thai and awesome authentic vibe. Cozy and definitely come early or make a reservation. Staff is kind and attentive as can be.
My preferred place for delicious Thai food. I was super full. The service here is great. Feels like a place in Los Angeles I liked.
Okay place...food quality doesnt match price. Portion size was good...spring rolls were big letdown and theyre 8$ for rolls w nothing hardly in them. Wasnt crowded so didnt wait...staff attention was average
Very good food and friendly people
Very good food in outside sitting area. I had drunken noodles.... yummy! l can recommend it!!!
Ive been coming here for many years and the food is always really great. Id say its my favorite restaurant in Manhattan. Very cozy.
Dine in a cozy and warm environment and eat very good and satisfying tasting food that wont break your budget. This restaurant is conveniently close to Carnegie Hall.
Excellent green curry, great spring rolls, refreshing Thai iced tea and topped off with prompt and friendly service. 10/10 would go back for sure!
Our food was delicious. The service was quick and attentive. And the atmosphere was cozy and intimate. Great place for dinner!
Food was great. The shrimp mermaids were taste.
Awesome Thai Spot, my girlfriend and I often go after work. Affordable, versatile menu, and great service. Try the Thai Iced Tea!
Small quick and easy lunch spot. Common to the area locals eat here at night and enjoy quiet. Not the best if you have a fun loud group.
They start you off with shrimp chips and peanut sauce. Then you move on to the coconut fried calamari and a noodle entere that is big enough for two. This is a recipe for a good meal
Went there years ago, loved it. Great service and the food was very tasty. Have yet to find a place back home as good as this place. Highly recommend you check it out!
Need a quick cheap Thai lunch spot? New Topaz is the place. The food is consistently ok, which when in a jam in Midtown is just fine for me.
The pad Thai is a more healthy version of your typical pad Thai, but it was delicious! The woman who owns the trailer is very sweet. I love supporting her business!
Great lunch spot with delicious food and good portions. Well priced as well for midtown Manhattan. Highly recommended for quick lunch spot.

2022-04-03Amazing underground Thai spot. Quick service, delicious food and fresh ingredients. They will go the extra mile to make you happy.Drinks are good and quiet fancy.From the soup to the salad to the appetizer - every dishes made special.I really recommend the Tom Yum soup (I asked to make it less spicy for myself) and Crying tiger steak.Insider trick: they have table for two at a private cabin by the window - highly recommend to book it in advance.

2022-05-27The food was great. The problem is the staff. Our waiter was rude and the sad part is I dont think he knows hes rude. He rushed us to order and only took one persons drink order and when he returned we told him we werent done with ordering drinks and he put his hand up as one would do to indicate well what do you want and rushed my 9 year old to order. Mind you we were the only customers in the restaurant at this time. Then after leaving a 15% undeserved tip he had the audacity to reprint the receipt and say that we needed to give a more than 20% tip. It was only 3 people if your thinking we had a large party, nope. Very unfortunate, lost a customer.

2022-06-16I ordered the chicken pad thai. But what I got was a dry flavorless entree with barley any chicken. The whole entree was just dry noodles.Please see photo for proof. In addition the lime was missing. What also I also received was a tiny bity cup of peanut sauce and a cheap plastic fork. Please see photo for proof. Dear management please dont be cheap and put some love in cooking your food and service.

2021-07-26The food was really good. i got the pad thai and pumpkin curry and enjoyed both. service was excellent. the lighting inside was very dim, so it was hard to see the menu and food.

2022-03-26Been back for the first time since covid and it was a very disappointing experience. I remember the service wasn’t stellar to begin with but it’s way worse now. They first made the mistake of sitting other parties ahead without realizing I’ve been waiting first.My order took awhile and when it arrived it was wrong. when I asked for the check, they charged me for the more expensive wrong menu item. I’ve asked them for correct and they disappeared till I was done with my food and then some. Had to ask three different servers to get my check and it was still wrong.When I tried to explain what an awful experience I had the manager told me to “calm down”. Then they made a big fuss about giving me a discount. At the end they gave me the same check I asked to correct.I paid for the full meal plus 20% tip, a small price to pay to say I’d never be back in this sorry joint.There are plenty of great Thai places in NYC. This experience wasn’t worth it for the mediocre pad Thai they served me. Try elsewhere.
