Great halal Thai place. Everything we ordered for dinner was tasty: yellow curry, pad Thai, drunken noodle, satay, and soup. The young man serving us was very kind and offered great service. The kitchen staff even gave candy treats to the children in our group. Excited to visit again. read more

The food was very tasty and the service was excellent. I'm not sure why there are a few negative reviews. The old lady who works there is so sweet! The restaurant itself is cozy and it's perfect for dinner with family. read more

Thai Iced Tea was pretty good. Curry Puffs appetizer was really good. Brother and I split order of 4 dumplings, which were pretty good. Miso Veg Soup and Egg Roll came with our lunch and both were very good. We also split large order of Veg soup, which was good. Papaya Salad before dinner was fresh and it was good. Chicken or Shrimp Red Curry became our go-to because it's very good. And also because contains vegs. Basil fried rice is a new go-to because it's good. Chicken Mango Curry had chunks of mango in it and was pretty good. We also tried pad pak with chicken. Mango Sticky Rice was a delicious dessert. We're grateful to have this Thai restaurant in town. read more

Mixed experience from a recent visit. Some of the dishes were not prepared the same way they had in the past. Flavor was OK. They are under new ownership so this is part of the equation as well. read more

Ordered pad prik khing from Thai Origin. I wasn't a big fan. I asked for very spicy but it was very weak on the spice. I didn't like how the sauce was very liquidy in what seemed to be a stir fry kind of dish. The green beans were cooked very well; however, they were pretty crunchy which I like. The onions were also crunchy and not overly cooked which made it pretty good. Overall this place is ok to order from. It wasn't the worse or the best Thai food I have had in my life. read more

Service is slow. Waitress has to man the counter and tables. Took our order and had to come back to verify because she didn't write it down. Received our food at scattered times which is ok but didn't give us plates for sharing. Took too long to try and get her attention and we ate off the plate as food fell onto the table enroute to mouth. Food It was ok. The drunken noodles with beef was a touch dry and beef was tough. The green curry was full of bamboo. And pineapple fried rice was the best dish we had. read more

Ordered the Phad Thai, which is my go-to for first impressions of a new place and was left very underwhelmed. I've had this dish from all over the world and this, unfortunately, was one of the worst variants I've had. The rice noodles were the wrong type; so rather than having lomg, hearty, flat noodles, they were small, stringy and balled together, resulting in burned globs. Additionally, the noodles comprised about 95% of the dish, and in tandem with the lack of sauce and other ingredients made it incredibly dry and bland. I asked if they could potentially make it spicy, a request that is fulfilled by every other Thai place I've been to, and they did not accommodate. When the food arrived, the plastic container was not fully sealed and did not have any tamper-proof wraps of any kind, which is pretty standard health and safety practice for any other restaurant. Overall, it was edible, but woefully disappointing and I would recommend going elsewhere for a meal. read more

Delicious, tasty , great courteous service, will return. Enough food to have seconds at home.

Tried out Thai Origin with a few coworkers only because Lazeez's a few doors down was out for vacation. I was optimistic because it looked like they had a Thai aunty working the back of house; however, I'm going to have to ding them for their service speed, ambiance, and some minor lack of flavor. The restaurant is very small and on the day we came, it seemed like the AC was either really weak or nonexistent. We were dripping sweat throughout our meal and the waitress was doing all FOH operations by herself with minor help from the other staff on rare occasion. So I do feel bad that she's doing all this on her own so I'll cut her some slack there because she was quite friendly. It took us about 30-40 minutes until our order was taken and then another 40 or so minutes until our food arrived. The Thai aunty in the back looked like she was going through a hard time making the dishes one-by-one in the hot kitchen because we were already dripping from the dining area - I can't fathom what she was going through directly next to the wok. Our drinks came out first and the Thai Tea isn't the best I've had but it was enough to satisfy my craving. However, I also tried the Thai Coffee which was extremely lacking in flavor and just tasted like bad instant coffee. As for our food, I tried the curry puffs which are a very solid appetizer and I wouldn't order it again. I also got the Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) which I thought was quite tasty. Overall, the food isn't too shabby and is quite good depending on what you order. Thai Origin just lacks in service speed - we spent a total of 2 hours here when we only intended to stay 45 minutes ): - and I bet we would have enjoyed our experience much better if the building wasn't a sauna. read more

Service was so bad it was comical. Arrived, told to seat ourselves and waiter brought menus and said call me over when you decide. He wasn't kidding, had to call him over and place our orders. Asked for drinks an got two cans of soda and two pony bottles of water, no glasses or ice. While waiting for our food waiter sat a another table wiping off chili sauce and soy sauce bottles with a dirty rag. No handwashing attempts at any time. Apps came out 1 at a time as did our meals. He wouldn't place anything on the table or remove anything, you were handed your plate! It was surreal. Like if you asked someone who had never heard of a restaurant to open one. The sign outside said under new management but this place needs to go back to the drawing board. I will give it one star because you have to but despite the food being ok the service was so poor it doesn't rate any. It was so bad we couldn't get upset - we actually laughed and started looking for cameras. read more

Buyer Beware! I feel it is important to write a review for this restaurant. I called in an order to go and requested mild spice Chu Chi salmon and received the worst spicy over cooked salmon. Upon arrival for pickup I reminded mild spice however employee said "they already prepared the dish" and said "she will add coconut to make it not spicy" Right then I should have refused. Clearly they forgot to tell the cook! Not one customer in the restaurant not sure how they messed up the order. My staff purchased $100 gift card for which I used $26 and had a $77 balance left. I checked out now have $44 balance left. The cashier politely asked if I could use the rest of the balance before the end of the year. Not sure why but I said I'll try. While driving home I received a phone call from the restaurant saying we can not redeem the rest of the balance since there is a new owner. NOT A SMART BUSINESS MOVE. If you buy the business, keep the same name and menu WHY don't you honor the gift certificates? I'm sorry but I will go across the street to Thai Avenue in the future. read more

I don't know what happened, this was one of our favorite restaurants. Was it sold? The former owner would always come to our table to make sure our food was good and it was. We went there last week and didn't recognize anyone, place was empty except a young child doing homework at a table. Food was awful, through most of it away, very sad. read more

Great food and very attentive service. The puff pastry was great but lacked much chicken so I felt it was overpriced for what I received. The Messamun curry bowl was delicious, sweet and spicy, and lot of food when paired with rice. There's enough parking. Service is super friendly. Delicious food and the restaurant is BYO so makes for a great dinner spot. read more

We got the steamed dumplings they were so good I can eat 20 of them. The pineapple fried rice was excellent. The shrimp pad Thai hands down the best I have ever had. Huge portions for both meals My new favorite spot. I will be back for sure. read more

Easy to park and nice decor inside. Got the lunch special Red Curry which comes with a soup and spring roll. The soup was excellent as was the spring roll. I ordered the Red Curry with the beef option. The beef was a little over cooked than my usual preference, but was still tasty. The sauce and the rest of the dish was excellent. I came after the lunch crowd and the service was great and the meal came out very quickly. I did ask for hot sauce which they had and was tasty. What I would recommend to the owner is to have a rack with multiple sauces / hot sauce like many other restaurants of this type have. I definitely will be back to try other options on the menu too. To wrap it up, a very nice lunch for $13.24 read more

Good food, delicious Thai tea as well. Decent atmosphere. Service was prompt. Plenty of parking in the lot..

First and foremost I have to say something about the time and measures that Thai Origin takes to keep everyone safe during the Covid scare. They are definitely doing everything in their power to stop the spread of this virus. I was seriously impressed with the care they took. Onto the service the nice woman who took my order was extremely patient and thorough. She repeated my order back to me and when I got back to my hotel room it was perfect. She had actually added things that I hadn't thought of needing once she discovered I was staying at a hotel. We ordered the Drunken Noodles with Chicken (spicy), calamari, Crab Rangoon and Fresh Rolls with peanut sauce. Everything was fabulous. I will warn you if you order anything and ask for it to be spicy you better be prepared! It was definitely very hot! My hubby usually says that most places don't use enough spice. He wasn't saying anything this time because he was too busy wiping the sweat off his forehead. They paid special attention to little details that most places don't even consider. I will definitely be back anytime I'm in the area! Sorry we don't have any photos for this post. We ate the food so fast there wasn't time! read more

We had plenty leftovers. Good quantity. read more

Excellent Thai food. I have eaten at more than a hundred Thai restaurants and this is one of the best ones. Plus, they were fast and our server (who is part owner) was very hospitable. We had the following: Papaya salad: very nicely presented wrapped in lettuce and garnished with an orchid. Liberal amount of whole peanuts. Red snapper with kaffir lime and chili sauce: the fish was just right, not overly fried nor too fishy raw. There were plenty of veggies. Creamy tomyum soup - the shrimps we added were enormous and had a delightful snap as you chewed (read: not overly cooked rubber). Tasty with coconut. Green curry - excellent. The tofu was steamed to a nice consistency. Pad Thai - served with sprouts and crushed peanuts on the side . Flavorful with a little sweetness. We got the dishes spicy. All dishes were 5/5. Portions were generous and we had leftovers even after four at the table. We will be back soon. They are also open on Sunday's and I'm looking forward to that as well :) read more

The Tom Yum Soup was excellent, great flavor, lots of mushrooms and a good amount of shrimp. The Thai Origin Boom (fried dumplings with sauce) was also quite good, we got the large (in a hot pot) and took half of it home. I had the Chicken Pad Khee Maow (drunken noodles) with chicken. The portion was huge and when I asked for it spicy, it was perfect! Service was fast and super friendly. They were also quick to bring food out to us. Definitely want to go again soon. read more

Really excellent food! Had Thai origins dumplings to start and Tom Yum creamy soup with shrimp. It was excellent. Also their Thai iced tea is probably the best I have had in the valley. Had the cashew pad Thai with beef for my main entree, which was also excellent. Boyfriend had something else and he likes things Spicy. Said the heat level was really spot oStaff was extremely attentive and very kind. Just had a really homey feel because of how nice everyone was and the quality of food. Definitely recommend. read more

Corona Virus Take Out! Pad Thai Chicken and Pad Krapow Chicken. The woman who brought it to the car was friendly. The chicken in the pad Thai was overcooked and tough. The noodles were fine. The Pad Krapow was good. Actually got better as leftovers. So good I ate it cold out the the refrigerator one night and mumbled to myself at 1am, "Wow, this is so freaking good I need to get this again!" The chicken in the krapow was cooked right. So... bottom line... definitely will try this place a second time! How does it compare to Thai Avenue? I'm going to order the same things and update my review. :-) read more
