    Happy Meal: chicken wings, chicken tenders, crab rangoon, beef, ribs
    Andrew P.

    This was a most unexpected and enjoyable experience! When looking for a local lunch spot, my fam was in the mood for Thai, so we gave this place a shot. It was the middle of the day on a Friday, so I wasn't surprised that the place was empty except for one couple. Obviously, we were seated immediately and we got menus. As with most Thai restaurants I have been to, they have decor that puts your mind at ease. As we looked through the menus, I was excited by how much variety they had. I decided to go with their mango salad which hit everything just right. Now, I usually don't care for lettuce in my salads because of how generic it is (I prefer Spinach and dark greens), but this lettuce was so crisp I couldn't help it. And the mango dressing was definitely pureed fresh mango, and it tasted absolutely wonderful! My Dad and I also shared a "Happy Meal", which is all sorts of meats on one festive dish. The chicken wings on there were among the best wings I have had from an Asian restaurant, and may even compete with some of the best Korean Fried Chicken I have had. Other things on the plate included chicken tingers, ribs, spring rolls and crab rangoon. I would be happy to get that any time that I am in town. I recommend this spot to anyone who stays or lives nearby.

    I love crab Ragoon and no matter where I go I always want to try. I just purchased from Wild Ginger and I am very unhappy. The wonton wrapper is under cooked. The crab filling, I should say what Crab filling. I'm very unhappy with the eight tiny pieces that I received for six dollars....

    Very nice and clean restaurant, run by what seems to be a cute asian couple. Not a large selection, but everything that is in the buffet is tasty, unlike the many large "supreme" buffets. Soups are especially tasty, salad is fresh, food not too spicy, just right! Service is quick and helpful. Highly recommended!

    General Tso Bean Curd, soggy, not fried crispy like I asked.

    Was having a gathering nearby we decided to order food for pick up here. I ordered a general tso's bean curd, specifically asked if they could fry the tofu crispy bcuz I don't like soggy tofu. The woman taking the order said yes. Before hanging up the phone she repeated our order and said "tofu fried crispy". My friend gets back with the food. The tofu is sliced in huge chunks....SLABS if you will and soggy!!! The breading falling off as I attempted to it eat. I paid too much to not get what I asked for.

    Dine in service not available. One of our orders was chicken instead of shrimp. Fried rice was great

    $7 buffet lunch. Greasy, goopy, run of the mill chinese food. Edible but not delicious. Not bad for a fast, cheap lunch.

    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.

The delicate…read morewontons were packed with flavorful filling and coated in a rich, aromatic chili oil that delivered the perfect balance of heat, spice, and savory depth. The sauce had just enough numbing warmth without overpowering the dish, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. The texture combination of silky wrappers and bold sauce made it an unforgettable starter. Beyond the appetizer, the restaurant offered a warm atmosphere and attentive service that made the dining experience even better. The presentation was thoughtful, portions were generous, and the flavors tasted authentic and carefully prepared. If you enjoy dishes with a little spice and a lot of flavor, the wontons in chili oil are absolutely worth ordering. I would definitely come back just for them.

When it comes to food, I never judge a burger by its bun, so thanks to Yelp for helping me find it. The sign in the window says "Asian fusion" which usually sends me running as it's often a cop-out label for bad mixed-up Asian cooking, but this is authentic y'all, meaning true-to-tradition dishes with a sometimes more contemporary application of ingredients or flavors. The "fusion" part must come from the fact that they have a small Taiwanese section as well as the main Szechuan/Sichuan menu, alongside a few familiar Chinese-American favorites like sesame chicken or broccoli x protein, so you can get that here too. Everything we ordered was phenomenal! Great flavors, generous portions, cooked with confidence and finesse. Compliments to the kitchen - they really know what they're doing. Not a single dish was lacking. They even put out peanuts at the start and serve fresh orange slices at the end of the meal. Very old school. We loved it all: * Salt & white pepper crispy chicken ("Taiwanese specialty") - well-battered and flavored, and perfectly crispy * Taiwanese minced pork rice * Chicken red curry - fabulous, with fresh vegetables and just the right balance of spice * Golden dish (fish) - very special dish in a salted duck egg yolk batter * Beef chow fun * Marinated crispy duck Wish I lived closer, but will definitely come back when we are in the area. Best of the best - very highly recommended!

Couldn't decide so we ordered a few apps (KFC chicken, edamame and scallion pancake) all of which were delicious. Decided to get bao buns and fried rice. Note: ordered chicken and shrimp but should have specified we wanted one dish with both meats - instead we got 2 bowls - which just means more for lunch tomorrow! Staff stayed calm when the lights flickered a few times and just said "hopefully the chefs are almost done with your meals because we don't have a generator"). Had to dodge a few broken trees on 94 on the way home but all in all a great meal! Also it's BYOB but really didn't miss the wine - Yuzu ade was refreshing on this 90+ degree day.
