Lovely restaurant with impeccable service and incredible food! Pad Thai was the best I’ve ever had and the other dishes (green curry, satay) were spectacular as well!

Small quaint place few tables upstairs and down. Quick service on a Friday night, small menu but delicious food. Highly recommended the spring rolls and the pad Thai. It’s a BYOB

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.

Service price, skin color The moment er walked in the waiter was not happy, we walked in the place had one couple sitting, yet waiter rushed us to order every thing all at once, one more person was to join us, told us if you do not order now you won't get your food after all other tables gets their food, they had only two people working, prices per dish was $20 and had to order one per person, appetizers did not count quantity was small, food was good, lady added 22% tips for 6 people, left over curry and rice staff gave me one container mixed together. Lots of other Thai restaurant in area are good no need to go to this

Restaurant photos misleading to what it actually looks like. We went there. for a birthday celebration with a party of 6. At 5:39 pm on a Sunday night and found the waitress not very friendly throughout the evening . She was in a hurry for us to order appetizers and meal together. You had to order 6 dishes as 6 people othereise $5 extra for every plate yiu share . in addition automatically add 22 percent regardless of how poor their service was. A distinctive weird smell in restaurant . Food was average and very small plates compared to the many Thsi places in NJ that we as thai food lovers have visited. Would never recommend this restaurant to anyone or go there again .

Absolutely, worst experience ever, bad service, and less quantity of food. The Chicken sauté was not cook well and didn't taste authentic. Papaya salad had more veggie with lots of tofu than papaya. Every dishes we ordered had lot of tofu. The waitress was very rude. They charged $5 per person if ordered is less than 6 dishes for main course meal. The gratuity is 22% higher than other restaurants for less than 6 people. Plus the place was not very impressive/pleasant as it appeared on the website.

We have enjoyed every single time we've eaten here. The food is consistently good and every dish we've tried has been fantastic. The staff is super nice and attentive and always finds a place for us to sit. Would recommend Origin to anyone!

I really love this restaurant. The food is excellent. The rack of lamb, tamarind duck, pad thai, Tom yum soup and crab and shrimp rolls are great. The staff is friendly and attentive. I come here now almost every week.

We came in on the Friday night of Labor Day weekend. The staff was friendly and attentive.My husband and I started out with a delicious, crispy Shrimp & Crab Roll appetizer. We had 2 very different entrees, as this is a Thai/French Fusion restaurant. He had the Muscovy Duck Breast with a Grand Marnier reduction sauce and a potato tart, which was like a square slice of flavorful scalloped potatoes. His duck was tender and delicious, especially with that special sauce. The potato tart was flavorful and perfectly cooked. I ordered the Royal Massaman Curry with Jumbo Shrimp. This traditional Thai Curry was perfection! The heat was beautifully balanced with the creamy, sweet coconut milk-based curry. It came with aromatic Jasmine rice. This was so good! We will definitely come back to explore the menu. Such a fun, interesting and delicious fusion concept!

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!!!

2nd time here, 1st time was over a decade ago. Still absolutely delicious. A little bit of a letdown was the escargot. For the price, I believe it was 15 or $16, you've got maybe five snails and they weren't especially seasoned. Despite garlic butter, it actually like salt and flavor. I had the green curry with rice & shrimp, that was delicious. We also had shrimp and scallop dumplings as an appetizer, super small, but packed with flavor. you can tell they are made from scratch.

I was absolutely shocked, delete to see that my favorite in Morristown restaurant has a 3.5 star rating. This is definitely a five-star place. The food is delicious. If you doubt me, try the crispy, curry noodle, or the salmon, or the pad Thai. It's great for takeout and it's absolutely awesome to eat in. It's a beautiful, small, cozy restaurant with a great Thai or southeast Asian feel, and a lower level, which is great for larger parties. Please do not for a moment doubt that the service is not good. I really like the people who work there they are friendly, attentive, and kind.! I've been waited by most of them for years. And by the way, it's a great lunch location for business meetings.
