    Origin Thai ll
    Aruna K.

    Exotic looking food, place is well maintained, service is good except that it feels like 1 person is handling all tables, effect of covid, a scene that has become common in many restaurants. We ordered the Thai red curry, sushi and soft spring rolls. The spring rolls were yummy, the sauce that came with it was especially nice. The red curry was good but seemed pretty runny for a coconut base, it was ok and so was the sushi- pretty good. It is reasonably priced so that is a plus point.

    I had a chance to stop in Origin Thai 2 for dinner on a weekend and REALLY liked it. I opted for take out and food was ready in 10 minutes. The shrimp pad thai had 5-6 shrimp and was delicious. It wasn't too heavy and there was ample food. The shrimp and scallop dumpling were very tasty. It came with four dumplings and a small container of sauce. I'll definitely be back.

    Here's the deal. Perhaps I had little expectations. But the food was delicious. The decor was a bit drab. It looks like they have another big room downstairs. The food was really good tho. Definitely comeback again

    Catching up on reviews during this pandemic and was here earlier this year for a friends birthday. I can't believe I've lived in Morris County for so long and didn't know about this place. It was my first time here and what a great location to celebrate a birthday (or even a date night)! The restaurant has so much space to accommodate large parties (there are 2 floors!) and the ambiance is pretty nice and well decorated :) Prices are a bit pricier than your typical Thai restaurant but there are fancier menu items here. Service was great considering we had such a large party. We ordered quite a few appetizers to share and I ordered the lamb chops for my main entree. Another perk is that it's BYOB! Street parking only.

    I would lean more towards 4.5 if I could rank it that, but super good, definitely would go back!! We got sat downstairs, a lot quieter than upstairs which was nice. Service was good - waitress was there when we needed her but did not see much of them since they were so busy, glasses were always full of water, food came out quick. Entrees were amazing!!! good size portion. Apps were good would try something different next time though.

    Dinner at the folks. Take out. But where? My parents like Origin so on my way from here to there, I picked up a large bag of treats. My folks can no longer tolerate spicy food. No matter. Everything was very fine without the burn factor that I enjoy. Two duck dishes. One Tamarind. The other roasted with a potato cake. And my Mom enjoyed wild boar. With a sauce with coconut milk and lots of green peppercorns. Terrific. Really enjoyed the food. And the order was ready on time, a plus in my book. See you next time.

    Officially my newest favorite thai restaurant in NJ. I know that's bold if you read my other 40 reviews on thai restaurants I am always raving about the uniqueness of the flavor pallet however, Origin Thai 2 beats all of them by a mile. When you think thai food, it's a basic 6 ingredients with fresh basil to make any dish perfect -- but it's the ratio & imbleshment to those recipes that let Origin Thai 2 stand out from the rest. I came here to try the staples & their French/Thai fusion methodology did not disappoint. The perfection from the chef in team I am not entirely sure how to put into words other than it was 'perfect' -- take a look at my pictures, they have depth in flavor, incredible heat, perfect texture and most importantly adhere to the traditional profiles of Thai cuisine. The actual restaurant is beautiful, clean & spacious -- when you walk in, you'll only see 8 or 9 tables however, they have a fully renovated basement dining area for additional and/or private dining. They had exceptional management & load balancing with respect to service as they were at 100% capacity yet still very promptly & politely brought our delicious dishes to us. In fact, I believe a chef had to come out & bring some dishes as to not keep any guests waiting! Honestly, if I have said anything at all, it's that Origin Thai 2 is out of this world amazing, thank you for a wonderful dine-in & then went back the next day for take out experiences, we will be back again this weekend and maybe next also!!!

    One of my favorite restaurants in Morristown and my go to when guests visit. Everything I have ever gotten here has been tasty (all the guests I bring when visiting always LOVE) and the portions are large! My sister and I got the pad se ew and green curry and split. Can never decide which one I love more.. both amazing! Prices are great too for the portions! Staff is very attentive filling our waters often and asking if we were okay (almost too much at one point to be honest...) Only comment I have for improvement is in regards to covid. I understand them being cautious but the plastic cups/lids/straws seemed wasteful when you're still using the silverware etc. as someone who is cautiois with plastic waste, this was bothersome. Menus / credit card holders etc were the usual plastic ones so the cups really seemed unnecessary. Outdoor seating is available and I did notice them wiping the chairs and everything down which is great to see

    Seafood Special

    I come here for the whole fried "fish of the the day" which is always red snapper($40). Those who get frightened by their food looking like the animal which it came from, caveat emptor! This one is served head on! Be prepared to use your fingers to eat this creature properly. Last night we ordered the special appetizer sampler($18). A limp curry puff. A tasty seafood cigar. The Peking duck salad was the only thing of substance on the plate. And tuna tare tare on seaweed salad. The tuna was supermarket grade, greyish and sad. The portion was barely visible and the poor fish was mashed into a paste. We always order the Pad Kee Mao which is consistently OK. In essence this place is upscale garden variety Thai. It is pricy and not particularly authentic. "French Thai" they call themselves. Ten years ago.. everything claimed to be fusion.. and this place got swept up in the the mania. There is no French influence here. French onion soup is on the menu, and escargot is available. But do two appetizers really warrant a catchy "FUSION" title. There are two floors. Downstairs is typically only open weekend dinners, feels like a basement.. no windows and low ceilings give it dungeon like intimacy. The original Origin in Somerset is the best of the 3 locations and the food has an actual French bent to it. 3.5 stars

We were very excited to discover Malay nearby in Morristown, and we had to check it out. We ordered the Malay Prawn Mee, Chicken Sambal, and the Roti Canai. Roti Canai is one of my favorite Malaysian dishes, but this didn't quite hit the spot. The roti wasn't soft and dip-able. It was kind of flaky and kept falling apart every time I tried to use it to scoop up some curry. The curry was a little watery and not all that flavorful, and I defintiely would've appreciated more than just one or two chunks of potato and chicken. The chicken sambal and soup were additionally a bit disappointing. The chicken sambal was just okay for me, and the flavor didn't really blow me out of the water. It almost felt like something I could make at home. The soup similarly did not have a particularly rich or flavorful broth, and left me a little dissapointed. Another thing that really influences my review is how cold it was inside. It got even colder when people opened and closed the door. It was so cold that our food didn't seem hot. I think the cold air cooled it off instantly and we were left eating room temperature chicken and soup.

I don't know why I was surprised to discover this was in a strip mall, but that's on me. A nice one, at least. The place was relatively busy but we were able to secure a table easily with zero wait time. Pleasant vibes inside. I don't mean this as an insult at all but I was expecting more ethnic decor in line with the restaurant's menu - instead, it's pretty Americanized and feels like a classic suburban NJ establishment. I liked the painted brick on the lefthand side that has Blue Spice's logo/sign on it; spiffy. The bathroom was also a high point, which is...not something I say often. It was very clean and smelled nice, and I liked the dark cruise-ship lighting vibe. We decided to split the scallion pancake app, which was an excellent decision. I work in the city and regularly have this item from a place in Chinatown, and I honestly thought this was better, mostly because it was thicker/denser than what I'm used to. Super tasty and would get that again in a heartbeat. Giant portion as well - we split the pancake, which was roughly the size of a small pizza. My chum had leftovers there, I did not; so it goes with us. I've had a few mediocre chicken katsu experiences of late, so this seemed like a chance for redemption. I ordered the Akiko Curry entree, which was their spin on chicken katsu curry. Honestly wasn't my favorite. Again, a HUGE portion here and was only able to finish about 60% of it despite having a pretty legit appetite coming in. And the presentation value is excellent as well, as far as that goes. This could easily just be a personal palate preference, but I wasn't crazy about the curry itself (which had a weird tang to it) and didn't resemble the standard curry I'm used to with this dish. Also, as you can see from the attached, the curry is basically on the side of the dish, separated from the chicken and rice. Because of that, the chicken is on the dry side, which is my primary beef (pun?) with the item to begin with. So a miss for me, but I could see why other people would like this (and apparently do). The service was excellent, full stop. Our waitress was very nice and personable; she had strong command of the menu and you could see her consistently engaging with other patrons throughout our meal as well. She took several group photos so this is apparently a Kingdom of Sussex hot spot for that, which I wouldn't have guessed. She was so good both of us remarked on it multiple times during the meal, which is a rarity. But a great example of hospitality markedly improving an experience and making what was already an overall positive situation that much better. Huge marks there. Would definitely come back but would explore other parts of the menu once I feasted on the scallion pancake.
