I cannot say enough about this lillte gem of a restaurant, from the start there is Mama, who is by far the most amazing woman and Chef, hands down in NJ. Her restaurant is a pure reflection of her love for family, friends and food. There has not been one meal (and we drive over 2hrs round trip & go there often) that we have had there, that we have EVER had a complain about, everything from the fish, chicken, vegetables and fruits is beyond fresh and absolutely delicious. My favorite is the Crispy Talapia fish, OMGOSH the chili sauce is to die for. Her portions are so generous, that I always have Mama's food for the next day (I actually have containers marked Mama). Now I dont want to forget dessert, her Mango and sticking rice is pure heaven and so are her daughter's cupcakes. We love when Mama comes out and does the ording or surprises us with our meal, the excitement of not knowing combined with the thrill of what she serves makes for a perfect meal and evening. Now I would be remiss if I did not mention her incredible staff, the service is beyond exceptional. I absolutely adore this restaurant and we love Mama and her amazing talent as a Chef and friend! read more

Topaz Thai Restaurant - Mama and my husband Rick - Thai Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

**Under New Management** do NOT go here. Food quality has taken a turn for the worse. Absolutely not authentic and taste has made a full 180 in terms of taste and freshness of dishes. The waiter there does not seem the understand what "hot sauce" is and gave us sweet chili sauce instead. Tom Kha soup tastes like it comes from a can, and wet tofu was just floating in it along with entire bay leaves. The Pad Thai is also tomato ketchup based not tamarind based. Came out soggy and cold. Will not come back here again. They should be ashamed to call this Thai food. Serves me right for looking for authentic Thai in Jersey Area. read more

It's a different atmosphere, a relaxing atmosphere. It's a cozy place, where everyone gets along! Don't just go here and stuff your face, enjoy it! There is history to MAMA and her restaurant. Really take in the culture that is TOPAZ! If you love Thai food, hell even if you don't. The veggie tacos alone are enough to have you leaving like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Experience Topaz, enjoy it, At the same time, it's a small place, so if you see it's busy - eat and get out! Till then pace yourself. Topaz for Thai Food! Totally worth the trip! "2/2" read more

After coming here a few times to dine in I have to say this is a nice this spot. The wait staff is nice, decent seating, nice owner and large good tasting portions of food. I had the Volcano chicken on one visit which was great but didn't quite live up to the name, the chili sauced fish and vegetables was great. Every bite. Was so flavorful and plenty of it. The complimentary salad as soon as you sit down is nice too. To top it off, it's BYOB so you can enjoy the great food with a drink of your choosing if none of the beverages are to your liking. There are a number of things on the menu that look good so multiple visits for taking out or eating in. I'd say eating in if you can for the presentation as well as the food being served up hot and ready to eat. read more

Topaz Thai Restaurant - I don't get the Thai connection, but the men's room is rather interesting. - Thai Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

Gotta love Thai food! Topaz is awesome. I've been coming here for years and never got around to reviewing it lol. Anywho the best part of Topaz is that all dishes can be catered to your liking. Momma and her staff are awesome! On the left wall is neon chalk board with all the specials. The coconut rock shrimp is a must have appetizer for us! Another must have is momma Thai tacos. Both dishes are like flavor town visited your mouth. Today we stopped in for lunch and had a blast. We ordered Thai tacos, red curry, masaman curry and spicy basil fried rice. Oh yea all entrees are served with salad. We love the house dressing and the peanut dressing. Always a great time here and it's byob! I wish they delivered, but we can't have all lol read more

Three of us went here for lunch on a Friday afternoon. The place was dead when we arrived but business picked up toward the end of our meals. At $8-9 each, lunch specials all the way around was a no-brainer. For the all-inclusive appetizer, my coworkers swore by the peanut dressing, but I went with the vegetable soup. Yum. Light, yet delicious. For the mains, my co-workers each opted for the pad see ew (sautéed flat noodles w/ asian broccoli, egg, & soy sauce), but both warned they're no good left over. The pasta is so thick (probably more so than an Italian version of paparadelle), it was inedible the next day. Neither of them saw 'eeewww' coming. Pun intended. I went with the Topaz fried rice (fried rice w/ eggs, pineapple, scallions, onions, & cashew nuts). Meh. For the love of Buddha, is there a Thai place in this area that serves FRESH pineapple? It's so obvious when it comes from the can and so cheap to make it not. Anyway, the Thai iced tea was standard, but came in a massive glass (at least 20 oz.) and my co-workers were happy with their Thai iced coffee. They have a few spots in a shared lot to the left of the building or else it's street parking. Either way, you've got to feed the meter. Overall, this is a decent hole-in-the-wall lunch spot, but I don't think I'd go back for dinner. read more

From Mama to great you to the food, this whole experience is marvelous. Never disappointed with anything yet. Will continue to come.

Undoubtably the yummiest Thai food in New Jersey! I caught wind of this place when talking to a friend about restaurants etc. and when we got on the topic of best Thai food around he mentioned topaz in Belleville, I was rather skeptical, it seems everyone has there favorite when it comes to Thai. But in the end a few months later I gave it a go when in the area and HOLY SHIT! I was blown away... First time around I ordered the massaman chicken curry and spilt there "local favorite" Thai tacos for an app... Oh my sweet baby Jesus I could prolly eat 20 of them little tasty bastards!!! Just recently I tried there other local fav, crispy volcano chicken. I about creamed my jeans! highly highly recommend! Very laid back atmosphere, attentive staff and incredible flavors at unbeatable prices! You can't go wrong and I'm geeked to try the entire menu :) read more

Perfect break up restaurant. Why? Because it's classy and chic, there's lots of cushions to shove slap your (new) ex and the place is small enough to cause a big scene but not in front of too many people. I guess the place is nice for a first date too. Now if your just date-less, Mama's Coconut Shrimp is worth the trip here. I can finish an order and I'm already day dreaming of the next batch. These crunchy little gifts from heaven are placed on a bed of a mango/cilantro/apple salad of gods. Their pad Thai is the other thing I usually order, but not as impressive as other places. Chicken satay is decent as well. Overall I really enjoy this place, more for the ambiance and coconut shrimp than anything else. If you are getting delivery or take out, make sure you order ahead bc it takes forever. The good thing about the location is that there is parking and it's byob. read more

This place has been one of my favorite spots for years. My go to order is mama's loaded tacos, volcano chicken, and chicken pad Thai. Nice and cutely decorated place and friendly service. read more

Favorite pad Thai in the area/northern New Jersey. Mama has the best home recipes and you can taste the authenticity in every dish. Lunch specials are great, dinner can easily get very expensive when you want to taste everything but here's the rundown on everything you must try. Thai tea (of course) Pineapple fried rice is amazing. Add chicken beef or pork, they only give about 4 pieces of shrimp so for the price it's not really worth it, but still tastes amazing. Pad Thai is my go to favorite. Even if you ask for a "little" spicy it is VERY spicy so be conscious about what has heat if you're sensitive to spicy food. Topaz salad is great and their dressing is one of my favorites. I believe you can even buy it to go if you like it that much. Topaz noodles with mama's secret sauce is to die for. The sauce makes the dish. And to finish off volcano chicken is all time favorite. They even provide a beef version which is just as amazing. Come here with an appetite. And BYOB! Can't go wrong....enjoy the space the food and stay a while. One of my favorite locations! read more

I love Thai food...don't always like the prices, but I love the flavors in good Thai food. A co-worker of mine had a craving today and convinced me to give Topaz a try for lunch...and when another co-worker chimed in about how good it was I figured-what the heck. Place was pretty empty when we arrived and we were told to seat ourselves. A quick read of the lunch specials ($8-$9, how can you go wrong?) and I was ready to order. Our salads came out quickly - a simple side salad with peanut dressing...delicious dressing! We both also ordered the Tom Kha Gai soup and it was a generous portion as compared to other places I've tried. The soup was really tasty, but I should have ordered it with a little spice. Other than a big noodle soup I would order as a meal, this is probably my favorite and they hit the nail on the head. I ordered the Red Curry with chicken and my coworker had the Spicy Basil Noodles with chicken. My co-worker really liked his meal...except about 1/4 of the way through he realized there was no chicken. The server (I don't think this was "Mama") quickly made it right and brought him back a new plate of the noodles WITH the chicken this time. My Red Curry with chicken (I ordered it spicy) was really one of the best I've had. The spice was just right and the portion was perfect-I walked away full. The veggies were fresh, but the one thing I'd say is it could have used a little more chicken. I'd actually be willing to give this place a try for dinner (probably under Adam D's protests) to try some of the other options on the menu (as well as the Thai iced tea). Parking was fine as the place was dead - we parked in the lot adjacent to the restaurant and a quarter gets you an hour on the meter. My only real complaint was the $15 minimum for using a credit card...yes, it's on their website and it was probably on the menu, but it would have been a real pain in the neck if I was there alone since I had no cash on me. I'd like to give this place 4 stars, but it wasn't quite there today for me. I WILL, however, give them another shot soon and would love to be able to bump this up to 4-stars after another visit. At least now my co-worker owes me a lunch... read more

My husband, Andrew G, said most of what I had to say about this place. We were super excited to go to dinner and fretting over where to eat for hours. We stumbled upon Topaz and we were sold because of the stellar reviews. I went with 2 stars because I enjoyed the dumplings (sauce was tasty) and my chicken Rama peanut sauce was good! However, the chicken reminded me of frozen chicken you get at a Chinese restaurant. One thing to add about Mama was that she even brought out an iPad to share a video of the blood moon news coverage from the night before. If there's one thing we all know it's how taboo it is when someone at the dinner table is using an electronic device. Oh Mama, don't mean to hate, but someone needs to tell you to cool it with the customers. It sure isn't going to be your employees. read more

I came here the Saturday before Valentines day, since the original place closed two hours earlier than normal and I am so glad I did! This place is romantic and charming, great for first dates or dinner with friends. BYOB and really decent pricing. Duck was delicious, the pad thai wasn't as strong with the peanut taste but still amazing! Parking is a little bit of a hassle since the lot next to it shares with the whole plaza and the street parking was non-existent. This could be because of the snow we just had but we figured it out. I can't wait to make this a regular since I work in the area =] read more

I've got to give this place the props it deserves. It became my favorite eatery in the area while working in Newark. You'll feel like you're a dinner guest of honor, eating from someone's home kitchen for the evening. The interior is cute. One wall is set up with a long wooden booth, adorned with comfy pillows. The staff is very friendly and eager to help. If you need a recommendation or want to compare dishes, the staff is great at helping you decide. Here are my personal favorite dishes: Appetizer: Fried Calamari Rings Entree: Crispy Basil Duck Dessert: Mango with Sticky Coconut Rice They also serve a selection of delicious drinks. If you've never had the opportunity to try lychee juice, you must. It's very tasty. Speaking of drinks, I should also mention that this restaurant is BYOB, so if you're going with friends, enjoy.. imbibe! Mama will take good care of you. If you tell her what you like, she may also recommend dishes that aren't on the menu, such as the Yum Pork, which is very tasty. The dessert menu is adorably eclectic. While they serve standard Thai desserts like Mango with Sticky Coconut Rice, they also offer a variety of tasty fried things like Fried Oreos and Fried Ice Cream. Tip: There's a small parking lot adjacent to the restaurant. It tends to be rather full -- even on a Wednesday evening. The few times I've gone there, we were able to get a spot, though it was rather touch and go. There are a number of other small businesses around, so hang tight if a space in the side lot is what ye seek. read more

I've been to this place multiple times with my co-workers. We usually get the Pad See Ew and Thai Basil Fried Rice.

I have to say a SOLID 4 stars. I find myself going back to Topaz, so 3.5 stars is unjust. The Thai tacos are just awesome!! Pan fried dumplings, Thai fried rice....And the must have for me here is the Basil Duck. Crispy, delicious, a little spice, and the sauce to mix with the rice. I don't think you can go wrong here. My friends have ordered the curries here, and i liked every single one i've tried. My last review was 6 months ago, and it's safe to say i've been back a good 6 times and never left disappointed. read more

Wow what a cute Thai restaurant! A few friends brought me this evening for dinner and it was quite a nice place - they even dimmed the lights as it got dark out to make it a bit more intimate. As Thai food goes, they seem to have it down pat with the menu. Everything you'd expect from pad Thai, fried rice, curry, iced tea... We shared some appetizers of pan fried dumplings and topaz puffs which were nice and fresh with great sauces. I ordered a shrimp spicy basil noodle and it was on point! Plenty of veggies and noodles but I did feel that my plate was smaller than the mound of fried rice that my friends had ordered!! The waitress wasn't the nicest lady either but maybe it was just an odd night. There's some parking next to the building, metered but cheap and convenient. Looking forward to coming back! read more

So after eating pad Thais at every Thai restaurant in Jersey imaginable, I decided to spice it up a bit and go for something different. I had the seafood basil at Topaz and it was delicious! Savory and well-blended flavors with the kick of basil. My friend always gets the green curry and it did not disappoint her either. Each time I've been here was with a group and they kept our orders straight. Place is BYOB and we usually could find parking nearby. Manager and staff are super friendly and efficient; decor is intimate and comfortable without anything extravagant. read more

I don't know much about Thai cuisine but I was impressed in this small and quaint establishment. It is very small. I counted about 10 tables but the atmosphere is really nice. Okay, I only ordered one dish because I wanted to ease my way into this new spectrum of food. I ordered the Topaz Noodles with chicken. It has pineapple pieces in it so I knew I wanted it. I was impressed with the taste, the portion and how quick it came out of the kitchen. I really enjoyed myself here and cannot wait to try more. read more

Topaz Thai Restaurant - Topaz Chicken Noodles! - Thai Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

First time: I ordered take-out. The atmosphere is clean, cozy, and cute. I ordered the papaya salad, chicken satay, and tom yum soup with tofu. The salad was interesting - maybe not my favorite choice, but for what it was I thought it was good. Chicken satay was GREAT. The spices were perfect. I also LOVED the tom yum soup. Man the flavors were all there. Excellent! Second time: We ordered the Thai Iced Teas (OMG so yummy) and Beef Pad See Ew (WOW absolutely amazing). The noodles almost melted in your mouth. I really, really like this place! Once again I find myself coming back here. Beef Pad See Ew is just too damn good! The pan seared dumplings were DELISH and the sauce that accompanied it was awesome. The spring rolls were okay, not really my thing to begin with. They have the best Tom Yum soup for real (I ordered shrimp this time)! The funny thing is I don't think they have the best Chicken Pad Thai (go figure), but for me everything else is perfection! My aunt ordered the Bangkok Noodles because she can't handle spice, it was a hit! Everyone at the table tried it and loved it. I also tasted the Basil Duck and Volcano Chicken: Duck was very yummy, so if you're a duck person definitely don't hesitate to order this. Surprisingly not fatty, but instead crispy all while soft and tender on the inside. The volcano chicken was pretty good. Not too spicy breaded chicken in a nice Thai flavored sauce. When I come back here I definitely want to try something new...perhaps a rice dish. MY FAV THAI PLACE read more

Always yummy in my tummy. Tonight I ordered the steamed dumplings and burned the roof of my mouth due to impatience. Filled with chicken and spices, this dumpling belted me for a ride to flavor town. And similar to a shumai, the cup-like shell was substantial enough to withstand all of this flavor without being so thin that filling was lost. The sauced served to accompany the "dumps" was thicker than a soy sauce but not as thick as a glaze. It was tasty though. Savory umami all in the place. My order...crispy basil duck. I've never ordered duck before. I was told to expect a tender dark meat chicken kind of thing. And that, it was. There was a textural offset though. Crisy top and soggy bottom and fatty cubes and tender meat and cartilage??? I ate the parts I could keep down and left the rest... Literally left my packaged leftovers on the table...on purpose. Didn't help that the inside of my mouth was singed and raw so, anything I would have eaten after the dumps wouldn't have been pleasurable. Overall, the flavor was great. Flavors are always great here. Prices are decent, a little high for a rustic Thai place but won't break the bank. Oh, and I almost forgot. The dessert of encrusted poundcake was soo good. Enjoy. Let me know when you are stopping by and I'll put it my order. And though this place is popular and small, I've never been unable find seating...I usually go doing the week also...so yeah. Bye! I love this place. Wont order duck again but will stick to everything else. Great curries and pad see ew. read more

Topaz Thai Restaurant - Thai Near Me - Belleville, New Jersey

Oh no they didn't serve me Shrimp Pad Thai with just FOUR little pieces of overcooked shrimp. C'mon, why so stingy? Noodles were greasy and a bit too sweet. This is a basic Thai American dish. How can they mess it up so badly? Green curry should have been described as a soup since the sauce was so thin. Hardly any pieces of chicken either. The flavors in this dish were flat and one dimensional. Curry should not be described this way. Just another ho hum Thai restaurant in my book. They need to add some more love to their cooking. read more

OMG got the suggestion to go here from Yelp when I was craving Chicken Pad Thai and they did NOT disappoint! Food was AMAZING and I will definitely be back.

Love the food here. I had the pad Thai the first time which was very tasty and large! Second time I had the panang curry with shrimp. The curry was spicy but not overwhelming as it comes with rice. My Thai iced tea complemented it well. The vegetables were fresh and there were more than 4 shrimps so I was glad to see they don't skimp on it like some places. I also had the loaded Thai tacos which were very flavorful and filling! I like that they give you a complimentary salad to start with and it has very good dressing. The owner, mama, is great at checking on customers and making sure they are enjoying their meals. read more

Probably the Best Thai restaurant I've been to so far. I haven't gone to many, but I can imagine it would be pretty difficult for any Thai restaurant in NJ to come close to this one. Almost everything we ordered was the best dish I've had so far, when compared to other restaurants who serve these type of items. I had such a good time eating here that I made myself order more dishes than I usually eat! Service: The service was also very friendly and helpful with everything. 4/5 Atmosphere: The restaurant had a very homey and comfortable feeling to it. 4/5 First off, the Mussels in the steamed pot was probably the best mussel dish I have ever had. I tend to stay away from Mussels because they have this distinct flavor which isn't always appetizing, especially when it isn't cooked right, but this place made the mussels so good we ordered two! The key to eating these mussels is to dig deep in the pot full of mussels, get a spoonful of sauce and eat both simultaneously. An awesome dish I've got to say! If there is a dish that represents something really amazing in this restaurant, so far the Mussels do it for me. The Mussels were cooked just right, the sauce wasn't to heavy or to light, and incredibly flavorful. The Tom Yum soup was just real comfort food soup, which was sour and slightly spicy The Pad Thai wasn't dry as most restaurants make it, and it had a good amount of sweetness to it that wasn't overwhelming to me. The Basil Duck was crispy, flavorful and meaty. Most restaurant I go to, the duck is full of bones and there is barely any real food that you eat, but this duck was almost completely removed from the bone, full of flavor and had a lot of meat. The Chicken Fried rice was good. I probably prefer Chinese fried rice over this, but it was still very good. The Fried Ice Cream was not to sweet and the breading tasted like it could've been a separate desert. A good item to cap off the meal. Last I had the Pumpkin tart which was their special for the season. It was smooth, pumpkiny and had somewhat of a toasty flavor. In short, this restaurant is one of the restaurants on my list that I would definitely recommend people to go to! Mussels 5/5 Pad Thai 4/5 Basil Duck 4/5 Tom Yum Soup 4/5 Chicken Fried Rice 3.75/5 Fried Ice Cream 3.75/5 Pumpkin Tart 3.5/5 read more

Topaz is a very special restaurant. The many times we have come here, we have been treated so warmly. First off the food is delicious. Some of our go-to's include: empress tofu, their house salad (a must-try with their addictive homemade dressing), spicy basil fried rice, pad see eww and any of the curries. If you come during dinner, Mama will come out and greet her guests. It's a really awesome experience to meet her. You can tell this is a family run business and they love what they do. It translates in all of their meals. Definitely a gem in NJ! read more

-- nice ambience, looks like they've taken efforts with the place. -Disappointing Thai food places have made me stay away from Thai food for a while. Topaz is going to change that! -The veggie dumplings were DELICIOUS (best dumplings I've had in a while!) - Spicy basil noodles were yummy and flavorful, I had no trouble gulping them down rather quickly - Green curry was more watery in consistency than usual, tasty nonetheless!! -Very reasonable pricewise - they don't deliver but do take table reservations. Definitely going back. read more

On a damp, summer, rainy night, look no further than ordering some Thai take out from Topaz! We ordered our food over the phone to pick up our food and it was ready and hot within 15 minutes. We picked up our appetizer, Thai Tacos, and WOW they were amazing! The bits of ginger over beef, all on top of a crunchy shell = need to have this every day of the week. Definitely squeeze some lemon on top, you won't regret it! Dinner was equally as delicious. I ordered the Spicy Basil Fried Rice with chicken and it had just the right amount of spice. It was full of flavor and packed with some great veggies. Excited to be able to sit down and enjoy a meal here! read more

Best Thai restaurant I've been to. Started going here in high school and the food is still just as delicious. "Mama" is the most welcoming and accommodating owner I have ever met! She will personally greet you at the table. Most recently went back on Wednesday 12/23 and the food was delicious. The Topaz Puffs are very flavorful. I also had the fried calamari with sriracha dipping sauce. The sauce was basically straight up sriracha so it's not for the faint of hear. I've had their standard noodle dishes:spicy basil noodles, pad see ew and pad thai which were all delicious. This time back, I ordered their grilled half chicken. That was a very tasty dish: very fragrant with the lemongrass. The dish that was really tasty was their fried rice dish with tempura shrimp, bacon, pineapple and other veg. The bacon in there added something extra to it! Had the battered 'pound cake' for dessert. However, the cake wasn't plain pound cake. It was banana nut bread. Not sure if that was the cake they usually serve it with or if that was what was available. Will definitely be back! read more
