My sister became my hero when she donated 10 inches of her hair to Locks of Love. When we were in the area, we stopped by Origin Thai for lunch. There are two more locations in Somerville and Basking Ridge, NJ and they bill themselves as being a French/Thai fusion. I have only previously been to the Somerville location, and it was actually the first place I ever tried (and liked) Thai. It never fails to impress.
Both Stacey and my mom chose the Massaman Curry. Even I like this dish (and I am just not a curry fan).
The sauce is just perfect and the ingredients are fresh.
I chose the Pad Thai. I’ve tried many different Thai dishes, but Pad Thai still remains my favorite. And Origin does it just right.
And see that little cigar on the side? It was delicious, however, as it turns out that lovely sauce was filled with spicy chilies. Both Stacey and I suffered after trying it, as we are both allergic. It wasn’t pretty.
Overall, Origin is set apart because of the quality and freshness of the ingredients compared to most Thai places. It just has a leg up on the rest.
