  • "The food you order will be tasteless and sweetish from all the caramelized onions."
  • "Not authentic. The food is sweet and we were overcharged."

Ambience

Pros:

  • "The atmosphere is very romantic with low dim light and soft music."

Cons:

  • "Keep in mind the rest room is located near the kitchen and it's pretty short."
  • "It can feel quite cramped at peak time so beware of coming with large groups."
  • "Spacing between tables was a bit squashed and it was a bit noisy."
  • "Really tiny space, so there's a feeling of being rushed."
  • "Very dark in regard to lighting."

Value

Pros:

  • "Service was friendly and attentive, food was delicious and came out quickly with good portion sizes, and prices were very reasonable!"

  • "Great value for money, great service, great atmosphere, great evening!!"
  • "For a Manhattan restaurant the price was also very reasonable."
  • "All reasonably priced."
  • "The total was $76 cad including tip, very reasonable for nyc standards."
  • "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!"

Cons:

  • "They overcharged me almost $40."
  • "My Bill was for $35.93 and the restaurant charged me $42."
  • "Just make sure your tip amount is correct, ours was more elevated than we would have put ourselves."
  • "Also had to pay extra for rice- seriously!!!"
  • "Food is tasty! Beer was iced. Qty for dinner portions was very less for the price."
  • "mediocre food for astronomical prices and they would not even deliver if you are located more than 5 blocks away."
  • "The location is handy for certain venues; it's across the street from the rear of City Center and around the corner from Carnegie Hall. No doubt that comes with a steep rent which is reflected in the significantly overpriced menu."
