About Origin French Thai

Welcome to Origin French Thai, located at 25 Division St, Somerville, NJ 08876, USA. Although categorized under the platform of Chinese Restaurant, Origin French Thai offers a distinctive menu that blends Thai and potentially French influences, promising "Thai food with a twist." You can contact them at (908) 685-1344 or their mobile number +1 908-685-1344 for inquiries.

Customer reviews present a mixed picture. Some patrons have highly praised the restaurant, mentioning "amazing food" and friendly staff, specifically thanking server May and manager Nasha. Dishes like crab spring rolls, chef's special onion soup, and dumplings have been enjoyed. Entrees such as grilled salmon and beef pad krapaw have also been well-received. It's noted that while the entrees may be milder than traditional Thai spice levels, you can request additional spice.

However, other customers have expressed disappointment. Concerns were raised about a tightly packed dining environment with small tables close to potentially dirty walls, leading to discomfort. One review mentioned a great spring roll appetizer but questioned the quality of the sea scallop appetizer due to a "funky taste." While bison steak and Chilean sea bass were enjoyed by one reviewer, the desserts (banana spring roll and pear tart) were described as "horrible" and overpriced. The Thai iced tea was considered mediocre, and the service was described as lackluster and impersonal.

Overall, Origin French Thai seems to offer a unique culinary approach. While some customers have had memorable and positive experiences with the food and service, others have encountered issues with the ambiance, appetizer quality, desserts, and service. Local users interested in trying Thai food with a twist should be aware of the varying feedback regarding the dining experience.

Thai food with a twist makes this restaurant a gem! Special thanks to our server May, and the sweetheart manager, Nasha. Amazing food! The staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the crab spring rolls, chef special onion soup and delicious dumplings. Entrees were great. If you are used to spicy Thai, you can add more spice upon request. (Entrees here were mild compared to traditional Thai) It was a blessed evening I’ll never forget! We had the grilled salmon and beef pad krapaw.

FINALLY got to try Origin Thai after years of wanting to go and honestly my husband and I were unfortunately disappointed in it. We won’t be back and I wouldn’t recommend it. Our tiny table was pushed up against a dirty wall and tables were so tightly packed that the gentleman and I who were sitting back to back kept bumping into each other. The spring roll appetizer was great but the sea scallop appetizer we received had a funky taste to them that made us question quality. Both my husband and I did enjoy our meals of bison steak and Chilean sea bass, but our desserts of banana spring roll and pear tart were HORRIBLE and so ridiculously overpriced for what they were. We both ordered Thai Iced Tea which was mediocre and would have probably been just as happy sticking with water. Service was lackluster and impersonal which really did nothing for the experience. We dropped $175 (tip included) for an anniversary dinner and honestly kept comparing Origin to less costly, more comfortable restaurants nearby that have superb service and better appetizers and desserts.

You have to try the duck salad. It’s my favorite on the menu. The ambiance is nice as well.

We decided to have lunch there with my colleagues during the work week. The lunch menu was top-notch, offering delicious dishes prepared with fresh ingredients. The atmosphere was serene, creating a pleasant dining experience, and the service was prompt, making it an excellent choice for a midday meal. The prices were quite fair, and their desserts were simply delightful. We had a wonderful time sharing a meal with my team, and I appreciated the variety of vegetarian options available. They were also accommodating in customizing dishes to suit individual preferences. Additionally, their lunch specials, which come with a choice of salad or soup, were a hit. The soup, in particular, was flavorful and freshly made, adding to the overall enjoyable dining experience.
