Origins consistently impresses. Very attentive staff, fresh delicious food… ambiance is warm, welcoming and reminds me of an enchanting French bistro with Asian flair. The crab and shrimp spring rolls, grilled Jumbo shrimp with 3 (delicious) sauces and Muskovy duck are favorites!!! Dessert menu is elegant indulgence. This is a favorite dining venue!!!

Everything was excellent including the food, the service and the value. We shared the Peking duck salad and it was delicious. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Phuket jumbo shrimp and the wild boar was delicious. I've had the wild boar a few times before. The meat was expectedly gamey but a little less tender than I've enjoyed previously. But overall, the flavor was excellent. Our table was a little too close to the couple next to us but that didn't upset the dining experience at all.
