Topaz Thai Authentic

After roaming around the streets of New York on a cold winter day, enjoying the lights and holiday vibe we wanted some soul food. Came across Topaz, good reviews online so we (party of 7) got a table. Called them 15 mins earlier which helped to get a spot in a rather small and crowded place. The restaurant was all decked up with Christmas decorations. The service was friendly, quick but felt they were bit overwhelmed with the holiday crowd. Coming to the food - glad we checked out this place irrespective of a name which didn't sound 'Thai'. Awesome food. We had the red curry (chicken and veg), drunken noodles, dancing chicken, pad ka prow. Food was full of flavors. Either we were super hungry or the food was right portioned. Didn't have any left overs. As for the spice level, they didn't ask but bit spicy. Of course we didn't mind on a cold night. If I am in the neighborhood will definitely go again.

Back again! We always enjoy Topaz Thai when visiting New York! We lucked out this busy Thursday before Christmas and were seated immediately without reservations but it was packed and this was lucky!! Reserve if you can Service is prompt and friendly food always spot on! My one regret was I did not order the pumpkin curry dish that my husband had!

Perfect, cozy Thai spot in the heart of Central Park south.Wonderful service and amazing food!Went on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded, can walk in without a reservation.

Topaz has been here since the 1990's. This was my first time back in many years. The location is perfect if you're attending a show at City Center or Carnegie Hall. We had a reservation and our table was available when we arrived, even though the place looked full. The service was friendly and efficient. Multiple servers checked on us and they seemed to be working well as a team. The decor was cute - they've hung a combination of Christmas and Valentine's decorations. We shared just a couple of dishes and dessert. The curry, noodle special was delicious. The mixed veggies were flavorful. Dessert was a surprise. I think they called it lychee creme brule. It was like a cheesecake with brule topping with a side of lychee, berries, and whipped creme. It was rich and delicious.

Friends,I love Thai food. Topaz was not what I expected. The food was underwhelming, lacked flavor, and the overall experience was poor. We had a party of 5. and we all felt rushed. The service was poor, the food was not impressive, and the ambiance was very loud and busy. I believe that better service, better taste, and perhaps lowering the volume of the broadway play music overhead might help. Topaz, please do better.

Solid thai food, great service and super fast! I'd definitely come back. We got crispy tofu to start which came with a tasty and bit spicy sauce. Friends got pineapple fried rice, pad thai and i got drunken noodles. All of us loved our dishes and there was ample food given. It was a solid price for how much they gave, especially given the location in the city. Ambiance is nice for a small place. Service was super fast and friendly. I've heard their takeout it fast as well. I'd go back when in the area for a show or by the park.

Everything here was delicious. The esthetics were on point. The staff here were nice and helpful. Our server was so kind. He was able to describe and give honest option about the food. For starters we ordered chive lover, veggie spring rolls and the coco calamari. Everything was top notch. I loved the chives but the tables favorite was the calamari. Three of us ordered the curries. One green, one red and the last one ( I forgot the name) . Our other dish was the shrimp pad Thai. Everyone's meal was tooooppp notch!! If you are in the area it is a MUST to drop in. Your soul will thank you.

Really great Rama Chicken. Atmosphere now in January was still Christmas and really cute. Online it says they have a lunch menu but they don't, which is a shame. Most Thai places do for cheaper options.

Food was acceptable by that I mean average. The service was fast and efficient so no issues. I was surprised to find that each refill of Diet Coke was a separate $4.25 charge which is too extreme.

Good Thai food. Service is quick. We were four after the NYC marathon and quickly got a table and served. Cocktails were decent. Place looks clean and smartly decorated.
