The food is good but it's not a very relaxing atmosphere. The customers who frequent here are constantly blaring videos on their phones and taking loud facetime calls. Order to go and spare yourself the headache.

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 DECISION.
If you buy the business, keep the same name and menu WHY don't you honor the gift certificates?
I'm sorry but l will go across the street to Thai Avenue in the future.

I’m heartbroken. Thai Origin used to be my favorite Thai food in my area. We ate there many times over the years and never had a bad experience. Tonight, however was a totally different story.

We arrived at 4:30 just as they opened for dinner. I joked about the sign on the door that said ā€œunder new managementā€. It is, and it’s not good. The restaurant was FREEZING. Not just a little chilly, but cold enough we couldn’t take off our coats. Then I watched as they left the back door wide open for a couple minutes bringing stuff in. Seriously? Close the door between trips when your place is 55 degrees inside.

It was overall unsettling and weird. We were the only people there for the 35 minutes we stayed. 15 of which were spent with menus, no offer of drinks until we eventually ordered, while the waiter putzed around with his shirt, tables, stuff in the back, and whatever was behind the desk. Like we, who had come to pay were an afterthought. They didn’t even bother to put on music so it was awkwardly quiet.

It was so miserable and cold we got our food to go and left, hoping the food at least was like the old Thai Origin.

No such luck. The dipping sauce for the appetizer was like water. So diluted it just ran off. Same for the sauce in my cashew stir fry, which had exactly 6 cashews in. The flavor of the sauce water was decent, but I had to eat it like a soup. It was never like that before. A little cornstarch could have thickened that to a proper sauce.

Unfortunately we won’t be back.

I used to love this restaurant but the quality has come down over the years. Recently I ordered via GrubHub, a chicken soup which had a piece of metallic wrapper floating in it and pineapple fried rice had hair in it. Prior to that, I ordered Tom Yum Soup (pick up) and the plastic container lid melted in the center creating a slit from where all the soup leaked. I did notify the restaurant manager and she mentioned she will inform the owner.

Today's lunch was a real treat! I stopped by and was blown away by the incredible food - the best I've had in ages! The flavor was so inspiring, the Tom kha soup was just right, especially on a cold day like today. And the curry puffs? Pure bliss! I'd definitely recommend this place to everyone!

First time eating there with my husband. We ordered prik pao & teriyaki chicken & egg rolls. Omg the food was nothing like Thai food. They served egg rolls that was hot outside and frozen inside. They gave us boiled chicken & veggies with some super diluted sauce. People who came after us got their food first ! This Thai place don’t know how to cook Thai. They took more than 40 min to serve food. We are never going back there!!! Horrible place !!!!

Parking: Their food taste really bad. Served us uncooked food. Never going back there!

Thai Origin changed ownership about a week ago and rebranded from Thai Origin to Halal Thai Origin. The quality of the food (and recipes) changed significantly for the worse. The service, while polite, is inadequate. Order accuracy nose dived (main entrees missed) and simple questions about menu item ingredients were surprisingly challenging to navigate.
So disappointed ?

This is most bland Thai food I’ve ever had. The pad Thai had no flavor, needed more tang, umami and spice.
If you are looking for safe non spicy Thai that you can take your grandma or people who never had Thai before , this is the place.

I ordered vegetable Pad Pak today with extra vegetables ($4 up charge) and shrimp ($6 up charge).
The egg roll was small and thick. I had 3 large or regular sized shrimp. That’s $2 per shrimp. It did not seem that I received any extra vegetables. It was disappointing and expensive.

Disappointment in menu. Limited. Had to change my order twice. We had to wait for over an hour to get an online order. Food was good but not the same.

Excellent casual Thai place. The menu has everything you want from an American Thai joint plus a few extra interesting items. Everything was delicious!
