Origin Thai Bistro - Tewksbury

The chicken and beef is Halal here, the taste of the food is amazing. It’s a bit on the expensive side but the flavors totally justify it. Anyone who eats only halal should definitely go here, yumm!!

We ordered chicken pad Thai and it was delicious! Super cute inside and very nice people :

Take out order. The food is much too sweet. Both the tom yum and tom kai were sweet, especially the tom yum. The green curry was also sweet. A shame because the quality of the food was otherwise very good. The fried rice was excellent. They need better containers so things don’t leak if they tip over. They did wrap plastic bags around the containers but they still leaked through.

Lunch special I had (Kua Kai Noodle with chicken), was DELICIOUS. I am knocking down the review, because when I received the food, smallest lunch portion I’ve ever been served. If you expect to have a lunch, that makes you feel like you have eaten, this is not the place for you. I ordered it to go, walked out to my car planning to sit in my car and eat it. Upon opening the lovely paper container (the kind of folding wax coated box that high quality cafés in bistros use for takeout), I was shocked to see how little food was in the container. I immediately brought it back inside the restaurant, and told the very nice lady that this lunch portion is way under sized. She told me that it’s because it is a lunch portion, we talked about that a moment, and I told her it was not within reason how small the portion was, and that I get lunch portions every day at other restaurants, she said she would fix it, brought it back into the kitchen. I waited about five minutes, she gave me the exact same food I had returned to her, just re-packaged in a plastic container. Again, the food was outstanding. However, I am only in this area on weekdays for lunch, and I doubt that I will be returning because she served such a small portion and after calling her out on it, it was not resolved, and i was attempted to be deceived.

This cozy little restaurant in a strip mall has simple decor and just 8-9 tables, but the food is outstanding. The vegetable phở was delicious, with fresh and generous ingredients. The menu offers a wide range of classic Thai dishes. I will definitely be returning!
