Pad thai is so named because of its inherent softness, which is also why it's used to stuff the mattresses of the world's richest kings. Fall into a pillow of flavor with today's Groupon: for $8, you get $16 worth of Thai cuisine during dinner at Thai Topaz.

Thai Topaz peppers its customizable menu with authentic Asian recipes. The chefs tailor each dish to customers' spiciness preferences (on a scale of 1–5) without resorting to using MSG or unicorn magic, with a spectrum that ranges from mild-mannered curries ($8.75–$10.50) to hot-tempered crazy noodles ($8.75–$10.50). Beef, chicken, and shrimp can jump on the yum salad's bed of fresh vegetables, cilantro, lime juice, and hot pepper ($7.95–$10.50), then dress up in the pad thai's rice-noodle coifs and crowns of peanuts ($8.75–$10.50). Seafood-special soup ($10.50) yields a flavorful catch of shrimp, crab, mussels, and onions. The spicy mango delight, with its freshly sliced fruit adorned with onion, basil, ginger, and a choice of chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu ($9.25–$11.50), morphs into a tropical melody of tastes when paired with coconut ice cream ($2.75) and served on top of a ukulele.

With bright-orange walls and a sunny, yellow exterior, Thai Topaz envelops guests in cheeriness as they walk in the door. Each dish—like a blue-ribbon science-fair project—sports colorful presentation and varied textures, mostly due to freshly picked ingredients, such as basil, mint, and chili, and partially due to the late-night work of overachieving elves.

Thai Topaz

The icy wind howled as the Thai House food cart ambled down the streets of Madison, Wisconsin, sending the spicy aroma of simmering curry and hot soups through the winter air. It was subzero mornings like these that were hardest on Thai natives Somchai and Jiraporn Namarsa. That didn't stop them from working 18-hour days, though, chopping pounds upon pounds of fresh vegetables and meat and rolling hundreds of spring rolls each week for their popular Thai cart in the hopes of saving enough money to send their daughter to medical school.

The Namarsas’ years of hard work paid off—not only did they put their daughter through college, they now own their own restaurant, Thai Topaz, in the sunny town of San Antonio. Within the cheerful, orange-walled eatery, the couple draws inspiration from their years of Thai cooking experience and longtime family recipes to craft a variety of traditional and innovative dishes. They captain a kitchen crew as they fold fresh herbs, spices, and produce into spicy curries, flavorful noodle dishes, and their new grandson's favorite—homemade coconut-mango ice cream.
