Origin Thai Bistro — Restaurant in Tewksbury

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...

I do not recommend this place , the first reason is because it’s the worst food I’ve ever had, secondly because how they treat their costumers. If I could I would leave ZERO STARS because both the food and the service was TERRIBLE! The pho was just the hot water and two pieces of meat, I couldn’t believe how greedy and cheap they were. The first pho bite tasted like I was drinking straight canola oil. The server was unhappy that I returned the plate and began teasing me and making me feel bad. She questioned if I ever had Pho before and if I know the ingredients in it. In addition to the sauces by name, plus she accuse me of eating it all and not want to pay for it. That is not how you treat a customer. I went to this place because I was hungry and left still feeling hungry! I don’t have time to waste. They should learn the costumer service first and also how to cook! A 7 year old child could cook the rice better than they did! To answer her “I’ve had it a thousand time before!” They don’t even come close to any of the other Vietnamese restaurants that I have eaten at. I wonder how they are still...

Origin Thai Bistro is a little hidden gem in Tewksbury. My sister and I met for lunch today at 1:30 and there was just one other party having lunch at that time. We ordered our drinks, and also crab rangoon and satay chicken for appetizers. The satay chicken was delicious with the peanut sauce for dipping. The crab rangoon was a little too crispy for my liking, but the filling was tasty. We ordered the Mongolian beef and split it, and it was amazing! It came with a huge portion of white rice. I will definitely return here when I'm in the area! I did see a couple walk in and then walk right back out, probably because there was no one in there. I would urge people to try this place. You will not be...
