    Very cute ambiance and set up. Service was super friendly too. We tried a variety of things on the menu such as the shrimp massaman crab and shrimp rolls and more

    We ordered takeout during our lunch break! We had 11 orders, and they fulfilled everything promptly. I ordered the chicken Pad Thai and a Thai iced tea, and the next day, I got the beef Pad See Ew and the Thai iced coffee. The Pad Thai was my favorite! The noodles had a good texture, and the flavor was great. The Pad See Ew noodles were a little overcooked, so they started sticking together. The flavor was good, but the texture was a little off. Both drinks were a little sweet but still good. Overall, a solid Thai spot!

    Beef Pad See Ew
    Linda V.

    Origin offers a charming atmosphere with its French-Thai fusion, making it a nice lunch spot. We started with the golden curry puffs, which had a delicious filling, and the mushroom soup, which was comforting. For entrees, we tried the vegetarian, chicken, and shrimp pad thai, along with the beef pad see ew. The bouncy, chewy noodles in the pad see ew were enjoyable, but the portion felt small for the price and I wish there was more of a soy sauce flavor. Beef pad see ew is my go-to dish whenever I'm at a Thai restaurant but here... the beef had a very unusual tangy and sour taste, which made me question the quality of the meat. While the starters were great, the main courses left me wanting more. I'd say Origin is a spot for its ambiance and appetizers, but the main dishes might be a bit inconsistent.

    My boyfriend and I stopped by for lunch here today and what a beautiful experience! Pooh our server was so polite and very accommodating. the food was so delicious and plentiful for a lunch portion!

    Ambience perfect for a romantic .Date night . Service was quick and the wait staff were pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu Food - spice level is mild but good medley of flavors- Ample parking in the strip mall it's located. Better to make reservations a Thursday through Sundays can get busy for Dinner We picked Tom Yum soup - clear broth has a kick but warming with comforting flavors Shrimp and crab meat Spring rolls was crispy and had ample filling served with a soy dipping sauce Green curry with Jasmine rice was our entree . Didn't have room for dessert but had to try their fried ice cream which was over the top in its presentation texture and taste - This place is a keeper !

    No taste at all. Noodle tastes mostly sour, tofu is hard, rather than crispy. Big disappointment for $22.

    Yum Poo Nim

    One of my favorite places for Thai food! I ordered the Yum Poo Nim lunch special and it was a new item as well. It's fried soft shell crab topped with mango (had a bit of a ginger flavor in the mango), bell peppers, pineapple, some greens, and Thai vinaigrette. There were also some fried sticky rice on the side. It was a delicious meal, I highly recommend this dish! The restaurant is also spacious and the servers are kind!

    Red Curry with chicken

    An excellent Thai restaurant with a French flair. The service is impeccable and the food is amazing. The currys are very flavorful, the filet mignon cooked to perfection and the traditional rice noodle entrees are to die for. The desserts are an exceptional ending to any meal. The service is efficient and very friendly. Our server Ariana was very helpful and so kind. The meal: Red Curry, Royal Massaman Curry, Shrimp and Crab Meat Spring Roll. All with amazing flavors. Our party of four couldn't possibly have more. A must when in this part of New Jersey.

    Love this place! Haven't had a bad meal yet. Highly recommend. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. BYOB. Make sure to make a reservation.

    Such good thai food but a bit pricey and more high end than most thai places. I usually sit down to eat here rather than takeout

    Thai Iced Tea

    I've lived in the area my whole life and had no idea Origin has been around for so many years. We really enjoyed sitting in the outdoor space on a summer night; the indoors looked nicely decorated but much darker. Appetizers: curry puffs were disappointing - the pastry was great but the filling was light and did not have much curry flavor at all. The Vietnamese jumperial rolls were super fresh and delicious. Entrees: pad Thai with shrimp was delicious and a very generous portion. The green curry (with fried tofu) was one of the best I've had in a long time. There were tons of veggies - and they weren't just the random frozen mixed vegetables, either! Beware of the spice level -- my friend and I both love spicy food so we ordered 3/5 and it was DEFINITELY spicy, but certainly had both flavor + spice. a

    Came here for lunch with a coworker. Food and service were both good. Nice ambience. Would definitely return.

    It was my wife's birthday, and after spending the day in Princeton, we decided to stop for dinner…read moreat a Thai restaurant on our way back home. Somerville is an area we had never explored before, and while searching on Google, we found many good restaurant options. We finally decided to try Origin French Thai. All day it rained heavily, and by 7:30 PM it had become quite dark. Finding parking was a little difficult. Even though there is a municipal parking lot right next to the restaurant, getting a spot still took some time. One thing we really liked was the whole downtown vibe. The streets on both sides are closed for cars, and people can sit outside along the sidewalks, which gives the area a nice European-style atmosphere (though it was raining that day) We had a reservation booked already (highly recommended), and we got a comfortable couch table in the back section overlooking the restaurant. The ambience was really nice -- dim lighting with an Asian-inspired theme. They also have another seating section inside, so the place is actually bigger than it looks in some photos. We ordered: * Tom Yum Goong Soup - Easily one of the best Tom Yum soups I've ever had. After such a rainy day, it felt extra comforting and satisfying. 5/5 * Noodle Curry Shrimp - Crispy noodles soaked in gravy with shrimp pieces and a red coconut cream-based curry. Absolutely delicious. 5/5 * Red Curry Chicken - The gravy felt somewhat similar to the noodle curry dish to me, but it was still really flavorful and enjoyable. 4/5 Overall, the entire experience was wonderful. The food truly made the evening special and created a memorable birthday dinner for us. If I'm ever passing through this area again, I would definitely come back.

    Stumbled upon this place in Somerville while listening to some live, local music a few stores down…read more We shared their sampler, and split my go-to order of mussels for every Southeast Asian establishment I venture into. High quality ingredients and flavor surprisingly given the suburban, modern area. It gladdens me to see more Thai restaurants get love in Central Jersey!

We came in right before a snowstorm so it was relatively empty. There were a few tables of people of the women who greeted us is very nice and see if this promptly. I had the pad Thai. My son got Thai fried rice and my wife got a duck noodle dish. Having tried all three they were all excellent. The duck was really good and surprisingly affordable for what she got. The inside of the restaurant was very nice. My son particularly loved the fish tank and looking at the fish while we waited for our food, they did not mind him getting up and just staring at it. Granted there was very few people in the restaurant. Some places seem tolerate kids while they seem to really enjoy him being there. If I was in the area again that would definitely come back. The food is reasonable. The staff is nice and the ambiance is pretty good. Definitely worth stopping in

Staff was very busy with a lot going on so they struggled to remember the table's order, both with drinks and food. They were very nice and tried to help but it seemed like there were only two people working the whole restaurant. There were some discrepancies between the same dish that was ordered which was odd. Overall the food was good. Chicken satay appetizer was as expected. Spring rolls, same thing. The green curry was more trying to be spicy than true flavor which was a bummer. Decent for a quick mid-week lunch. Just come in aware of what to expect.
