The restaurant is upstairs and through a door on the left. Ignore the tape because inside awaits a Thai oasis. We were seated promptly, given a few minutes to peruse the menu, and then ordered quickly. Started with a fabulous Thai iced tea which came with a rosette of milk. Super refreshing. Then we started with the spring rolls, the chicken curry puffs, crab Rangoon. Then we split the massaman curry and the pad Thai (no eggs). Everything was just so full of flavor. Cooked to perfection. For dessert we had the mango sticky rice and that really hit the spot. The vibes were good, the noise level average. Service was great. Bathroom was clean. Prices also good. A definite must try if you're in the area!!

Definitely recommend giving them a try.

While I gave 5 stars to Topaz nine years ago, that feels like an experience from yesteryear. Rochelle and I chose Topaz because we have been a fan and we're going to see Harry Connick at nearby Carnegie Hall five minutes walking. Topaz is small and festively decorated, I might say Avenue A style, thus you always feel as if you are celebrating something. We were hungry and decided to order two appetizers, unsweetened Thai iced tea ( big mistake), Massaman curry and Pad se ew with chicken and dessert. First, the beverage.. we just wanted a lightly sweet version and waitress recommended just the tea and a shot glass of half and half. Well, let's just say this is Lipton tea USA version not Thailand. Yikes! We loved the curry puffs from past dining experiences. Well, we got the shrinky dink version which cost more, $12, for little triangles not " empanada size. Tasteless with minimal sauce. On to the next, pork dumplings, pint size "kreplach" with no taste. The entrees arrived and at least they were better than the appetizers. Rochelle liked her Massaman curry with avocados, potatoes in a rich broth served with a side of sticky rice which she barely touched to soak up curry. ( "My A1-C" yeah yeah yeah whatever, lol) The Pad See ew was decent and a generous portion but needed more spice. We decided to try the Coconut Ice Cream with sticky rice and fruit. Not bad...if you like overly sweet. The bathroom is located near the kitchen and a bumpy walk to get there. We had to ask for the check, paid and I took one last look..

We showed up at 5pm for a 7pm weekday show. There was a line and it took about 15-20 min of waiting before getting seated. The restaurant is small so I wouldn't recommend this for a big group dinner. The food was hearty and affordable. We had the soup dumplings, beef hand cut noodles, and the pan fried duck bun. I liked everything that I ordered and would be interested in trying more of the menu.

Another repeat takeout order from Three Roosters, this time for their poached chicken and grilled…read morechicken plates, both with ginger rice. Delicious and hits the spot when you're in the mood for SE Asian style chicken over rice. For both plates, the meat is cooked tenderly and the poached version $16.95 definitely needs the sauce to add flavor, and both sauces are still bomb, I would buy them to use as a marinade or dipping sauce if they bottled these. The roasted chicken $16.95 is good on its own but amazing with the sauce. Sour, savory, a tad spicy, it adds that next level punch. The side salad was fresh. If I had one comment it's been that been portion sizes seem to be a little smaller in my recent orders than a few years ago, maybe it just happens to be the orders I got though also maybe due to shrinkflation.

I definitely got my protein in between the tofu and the egg.

Even though it was already 10 PM, the friendly staff welcomed us and seated us right away. As we looked around, dish after dish came out of the kitchen looking incredible, and everyone seemed genuinely happy with their meals. I started with the coconut chicken soup and a cocktail, then ordered the basil fried rice with shrimp. My wife chose the spicy noodle soup. We both agreed that every dish was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and had just the right amount of spice. Simply delicious! In fact, we enjoyed the food so much that we returned the very next day and ordered the same meals. Everything was just as good the second time around, which says a lot about a restaurant's consistency. If you're looking for a late-night dinner option when many places have already closed, don't overlook this gem. The cocktails, Thai teas, appetizers, and entrées were all excellent, and the prices were very reasonable for New York City. We'll definitely be back on our next visit.

Menu was expansive, hard to narrow down, but we stuck to the noodle soups. Ordered: Shrimp rolls- delicious! 5 pieces Made to order and came out pipin' hot!

Roasted pork noodle soup- simple broth, but plenty of sliced roasted pork along side ramen noodles with cilantro, scallions, and bean sprouts. Tom Yum Sukhothai noodle soup- suggested by our server. Loved the spicy flavor, but didn't care for the sour/lime base broth. I've had this type of soup before, but it had been awhile. Otherwise it was large bowl, containing plenty of proteins- roasted sliced pork, fish balls, fish cakes, tiny cuts of string beans, bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro. For dessert, we shared a plate of sweet ripe sliced mangoes with a side of coconut sticky rice. The mangoes were soooo sweet and yummy. The sticky rice could have used a tad more coconut sauce for more intense coconut flavor. Overall , great service, delicious food.

We arrived at 12:45pm and got the last open table for lunch. The service is fast and friendly, our food arrived within 10min of us placing our order. We really enjoyed both dishes we tried, the pad kee mao with beef and pad thai with grilled chicken breast. Good sized portions and very flavorful, the pad thai was especially good compared to other places we have had it. The kee mao was very tasty, I just wanted it to have a bit more spice but that is me being nit picky. The lunch special came with a small fried veggie spring roll and salad (the dressing tasted like honey mustard). Overall a great place for lunch in terms of value, portion and flavor (price depends on which dish and protein you pick ranging from $16-21) and I would go back to try other dishes that aren't on the lunch special menu like their khao soi.
