Thai Topaz

I totally love going here. The pineapple rice is simply delicious and the presentation is on point! The service is always great and the ambiance is so relaxing. It's also great for groups, so make sure to book your next work dinner ahead of time to make sure there is enough room to accommodate your party. I will definitely be back!

Thai Topaz 7.20.24 4/100We celebrated our anniversary with a lunch reservation to use our reward that David sends us every year (thanks so much :-)Pam took our orders and was friendly and attentive. She brought me my Jasmine tea and chopsticks right away. We had Veggie Spring Rolls to share, the Emerald Salmon and the Mixed Vegetables. Both of these are our favorites. Just bursting with flavor and very good portions for lunch. Our son likes the children's Chicken Bowl meal and Hibiscus tea. We finished our meal with Mango ice cream to share, creamy and delicious. Thai food here is a delight! We love celebrating our birthdays and anniversaries here. The restaurant is always sparkling clean and bright with natural light coming in from the big windows. Thanks again Pam for celebrating with us :-)~LindaD

Earlier in the week, we visited @thaitopaz for dinner. We had an anniversary discount. Buy an entrée and another entrée the same or less value would be free.Dad had Lemonade, and hubby and I had Jasmine Tea. We started with the wings. Hubby had the Lemongrass Lamb, which was cooked perfectly. I had a bite and it was great! Dad and I shared the Mango Delight with shrimp and Pineapple Fried Rice with chicken. The fruits were deliciously sweet. And we ended with Coconut ice cream. Sooo good!

I made a reservation for 6 as I had family coming into town and I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to try out a new-to-me place. Thai Topaz did not disappoint! We were warmly greeted and immediately shown to our table in a little room off to the side. It was such a nice area and had a private feel to it. The ambiance was enjoyable and noise level fairly quiet so it was nice to have an easy conversation without having to talk over loud music. We ordered several dishes family style including the shrimp pad Thai and panang chicken curry. Everything was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be returning!

Decided to try out the To Good To Go app to try some newer (to me) spots in the area. I did two surprise bags. First, I walked in the door and was immediately greeted by an amazingly sweet woman who immediately asked if I was there for To Good To Go pickup and rushed into telling me how lucky I was because I was getting the house specialty Pineapple Fried Rice. Ma'am, with all do respect, your excitement was infectious, but you made my day by saying pineapple. I didn't need anything aside from chopsticks after that point. The pineapple fried rice I received was vegetarian, so the protein was cashews. There was also broccoli and raisins in it, which made it feel like a fusion of Asian fried rice and Middle Eastern fried rice. Next time, I'd probably get it Thai hot with chicken instead, but do not miss this: There WILL be a next time. My second surprise bag had the best summer rolls I've had in SATX to date, which is saying a lot since that's a must order item for me at all Thai places. Most places have dried out wrappers that make it apparent it's on the way out, but these were very obviously fresh. Served with the clear peanut sauce, rather than the creamy peanut sauce. Perfectly light and delicious pairing and I'm definitely going back just to order a dozen more of these! I also received egg drop soup that had good flavor, but I'm just not an egg drop person. Personally, I'm not used to ordering Thai food below Thai hot, so it just wasn't for me. I can see that helping a sick child get nutrients and feel better, but it's a no from me. I need some Thai hot curry next time! Great food, cute shop, solid parking (even some assigned spots right out front). I'll be back another day to give more of the menu a shot. So glad the To Good To Go app put this on my radar.

The food is always superb, the atmosphere is a step above casual but laid back at the same time & the service is EXCEPTIONAL!! Pam is the GREATEST!!!

Not big into Thai but that is what our out of town guests requested for dinner so after stopping at the other Thai restaurant across the way who had nowhere to seat our party together we made it here. We were able to sit in a private area enclosed by curtains. According to our guests this wasn't authentic Thai, but instead Americanized. Since I'm not a big Thai enthusiast I couldn't tell you why they said that. I had the Golden curry. I ordered it at a 4, heat level, 1-5 is the spice level or you can order Thai Hot, the most spicy. It was tolerable, probably could have done 5 just fine. There was a sweet undertone I didn't care for which threw off the spiciness.

Sad to see they charged a 10% gratuity for a take out order that was picked up at the front counter in the store. Seems like the tipping culture is getting a bit out of hand at many places. The food was average here, especially considering the high entree prices of $15+. Summer rolls were a bit hard to eat because of the texture. Other entrees were just ok. When picking up the food, the inside was clean and quiet.

Ok, I spoke with Liz the manager and the owner about this situation and I STILL don't understand. To start this off, I called the order in and asked for the combo pad Thai and panang curry with chicken. The order taker said they don't have a combo pad Thai but could add whichever meat is requested. Sure! She didn't disclaim how much it would be and asked which meats we wanted. I asked for chicken, shrimp and beef. (I could swear they've done it before here) Anyhow, my order would be ready in 20 minutes so I sent my husband to get it. The order taker gives my husband the food bag and proceeds to charge him $53.21. FOR TWO ORDERS!? He told her no, take it off. He wasn't going to pay $30 for a pad Thai! (Who would!?) She said she couldn't take it off and he said yes you can, I don't accept the food nor the price of it. I called when he came back with just my order because he showed me the receipt. First off, there are VARYING prices for the pad Thai. $12.50-$13.00 per the website/Door Dash and $15.00 on Favor. We looked closer and the charge was $16.00 for pad Thai, $3.00 for chicken, $3.00 for beef and $6.00 for shrimp. NOT TO MENTION 10% gratuity!How? Make it make sense!!!!In speaking with Liz/owner they could not tell me why there was gratuity nor could they explain the massive up charges. They said this "you asked for the pad Thai with all the meats, that's what you were charged for." That's meat ala carte prices!!!! Ridiculous! They stuck firm to never offering a combo, to which we will not return there again. We are all about supporting local and small businesses, but this is bush league! My panang curry was delicious but menu transparency and pricing ruined it for us. Word to this establishment: match your receipt and menu pricing across the board! If it says $12.50 on your website, your receipt should reflect that - not $16.00!

Upon entry, there's a sign to inform guests they are short-staffed and asking for patience, which I appreciated. Despite that, the staff was polite and attentive. I'd rate the food a solid 4/5, but the overall experience definitely gets a 5/5!
