ORIGIN THAI

At Origin, Authenticity meets real life. It is where Manop Sutipayakul, chef and owner along with his family delight you with the best Thai food around. Manop takes his third generation knowledge of food and the restaurant business, his interest in French techniques and his notion of global cuisine and applies it to everything from soup to tea. The philosophy is that "cooking is not just cooking its an art". Manop absorbed culinary lessons while working at his parents restaurant in Thailand, then continued his education at Siam Cuisine in New York before opening the doors to Origin in December 2000. Origin Thai is a 55 seat restaurant occupying a storefront that blends into the mostly deserted evening streetscape except for the steady stream of diners entering the restaurant.
