    Got the lunch special - chili chicken. It was great. Some of the best Manchow soup I've also had.

    Best Indo-Chinese cuisine in the area, definitely in the Hillsborough-Montgomery neighborhood. Super fast service too.

Menu was limited for events which is fine, our party leader pre-ordered for all tables. I don't eat sushi / shellfish so unfortunately I can't comment on that part of the meal. We had chicken lettuce wraps, spring rolls & calamari for apps (sorry forgot to take pix). For hot items we had shrimp fried rice, Thai basil shrimp, sesame chicken & pepper beef (allegedly made with filet mignon). Main comments are on the chicken & beef. Sesame chicken was hit or miss with tender or very chewy. Same for lettuce wraps. Beef was cooked well done (which is a shame if it was filet) & also had chewy pieces. Flavor was good however. Sushi eaters seemed to enjoy that but both shrimp dishes weren't finished. Other main comment is we had booths on one side, wooden chairs on the other at our tables. I sat in a chair which became very uncomfortable after a short time. Bummer as the place itself is modern & inviting. Finally, service for our party was good, didn't see any issues.

    The highlight of the meal was easily the hot appetizer -- the wontons in chili oil. 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.

The standout for me was the Jiang Bei Hot Sauce Live Whole Fish, which was packed with flavor and absolutely worth ordering. You can split this dish amongst a whole family since the portions are huge! The General Tso's Chicken is always a classic, and I love the tender chicken drenched in tangy sauce. This is where things got a little tricky. We had a reservation but ended up waiting about 40 minutes past our reservation time to actually be seated. On a busy weekend, I understand restaurants can get slammed, but waiting 40 minutes after having a reservation is frustrating. It seems like their weekend reservation situation can get a little chaotic, so just be prepared to practice your patience. Once we were seated, the staff was fine and the service was efficient. Overall, I'll return for the food or get takeout but just be prepared to wait a bit.

I met with a friend and she enjoyed her meal (and appreciated that they modified her meal slightly to her liking, without mushrooms, too). On a side note, I didn't look ahead that it was a bring-your-own-wine type place, but I was quite ok either way. I would definitely visit again and bring someone with me to try it for the first time too. I really wish I had room to try their Tom Ka soup - I was too full to have that too though.

    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.

We also tried the spicy pepper noodle dish, which had a really nice kick without the spice overpowering everything else. The sweet potato tempura was another highlight. It was crispy on the outside, soft and slightly sweet inside, and a great appetizer to share before the noodles. I also got the carrot ginger juice and really enjoyed it. It was made fresh! Overall, Roots is a great option in Princeton when you're craving Thai food, especially if you like bold flavors and a little heat. There are plenty of vegetarian-friendly choices too, which I appreciated. I'd definitely come back!

It's located in a strip mall and all the customers were non-asian...that should have been a sign. The Hot and Sour Soup and Wonton Soups were just OK. A bit salty for my taste actually. The LoMein noodles with shrip were a disappointment @ $20 per bowl. The noodles were overcooked with too much water remaining in the bowl it was served in. The shrimp was not high quality, and there were minimal vegetables in the dish. Overall, not worth the asking price. I'm not from the Princeton area which has a wealth of ethnic cuisine, but unfortunately would not be one I'd recommend.

    Probably one of the best AYCE sushi restaurants in New Jersey that I've been to. Only knock is…read morethat the price is a bit steep, but given the variety and the speed of service here, it is at least justified. We visited as a group of ~8 on a weekday evening for dinner. Service was quick. Although we had plans afterwards so we were not in full optimization mode for this AYCE excursion, we ate a decent amount and did not ever feel like we were being slowed down or not helped, despite other diners in the restaurant. They have sashimi, nigiri, rolls, and a lot of other Asian sides and fares. A good variety to just having fish! I especially recommend the galbi and the yuzu if you have the room in your stomach. Otherwise, a great place AYCE that is on the pricier end, but is well worth the extra bucks here.

The inside did have a nice darker Asian themed decor to it. I got a bento box with salmon. There is a good amount of food here for the price, but most of it was overdone. Salmon was dry and overcooked, but was saved by the sauce. Sushi was decent, but nothing to write home about. Miso soup and salad are as middle of the road as it gets. Not bad for sure, but in an area flush with Asian cuisine options, it may not be my first pick.
