Great atmosphere, service & food!

Diner Review №3

What a great staff! And our food was amazing. We had 3 couples and we all tried different apps and main dishes. Everyone loved the food. My husband had the lo mein and said it was the best he ever had. My pad Thai was amazing. And Kim was amazing and so nice. Highly recommend this place!

Diner Review №4

Hands down the BEST Sushi and Thai place to go when you’re hungry and just want to eat. Very nice vibe and ambience. Manager ( Diane ) and server ( Amy ) is super friendly! The price is reasonable and the food came out quick. Best birthday ever!

Dissatisfaction is the only word that comes to mind. Visited this place on yiesday 1/14/25. Called the day before to make sure they were open for lunch. Only to arrive at 11:30 as there was no sushi chef which was the reason we went. Waited an hour and like 15 minutes for him to casually come walking in the door to sloppily throw our food together. We ordered the 10 zen with eel on the side, vegetables spring rolls, shrimp tempura app that came out to the table with no shrimp by the way. Has to ask for it, because we paid for it. Spider which he put the eel inside of and salmon shashimi. The owner was just sitting at the bar like everything was fine and dandy. Never apologized, never offered up any customer service nothing. I felt bad for the host because everything was on her. Then the next day I ordered the vegetable spring rolls again only to get homw and find shrimp on my spring rolls which I’m allergic too. I called and the lady was like I’m so sorry i tell the manager and next time you come in they will be on us but he never called me back. I think it’s odd that you can literally tell me my order at pick up but not verify what’s coming out of the kitchen. I’ll NE RR BE BACK NOR WILL I RECOMMEND THIS DISGUSTING SERVICE TO ANYONE. ITS PATHETIC.

Diner Review №9

Understaffed, slow service and average food.

Diner Review №10

They switched owners 8 months ago, we encountered a totally different restaurant than we were anticipating. Totally slow, inexperienced service. Everything was too expensive. Quality was off, couldn’t tell if this was actually sushi quality. Super sad for loyal longtime customers, on top of that parking was $7

Diner Review №20

DO NOT EAT HERE! Had some sushi, calamari and noodles this monday and my stomach hasnt been the same. My friend who also ate the food expierenced the same stomach and Toliet issues! Save your money! Way too expensive to be having these types of issues!!!

Diner Review №21

So hospitable. Lychee martinis were on point.

Diner Review №22

Bartenders let a 2 year old child run around alone and even get behind the bar several times after 10:00pm. Meanwhile, serving his mom and friends shots at a table on the other side of the room. I know it was a slow night, but come on! If someone is too intoxicated to care for a small child, why continue to serve the table shots? Why not ask them.to leave and take the baby?
Both bartenders left the bar at 1 point and the little boy was behind the bar by HIMSELF. My boyfriend retrieved the little boy right before he knocked over a bunch of stacked glasses (yes, they were glass). That's not to mention all the sharp objects and dangerous chemicals he could have got into if we had not intervened. At the time we didn't know who's child it was so I called out "who's baby is this?" And a woman dressed as a sexy ninja stumbled over acring surprised. Mind you we didnt even realize this was the mom until she came over because no one of the 5/6 women at the table acted concerned about this baby and no employee took him back over there or attempted to correct the problem.
The bartenders did NOT ask the mom to leave or watch her baby. They kept sending out trays of shots. The server continued to overserve the table while the baby went behind the bar 2 more times. He also wandered through the dance floor and up the stairs to the mezzanine with no supervision and tried to leave the restaurant. I stopped him.
I am disappointed at the stagg for over serving his mom and her friends and allowing this child to run unsupervised through a bar until almost 11pm. He could have been hurt or taken and all 3 of the staff members looked the other way. Shame on you!

Diner Review №23

Sushi was average at best. We ordered rolls advertised as "spicy" and none were spicy in the slightest. They were out of all draft beers. Waitress was new (but was friendly and trying hard). I don't think We would return.

Diner Review №24

I was walking around the area and stumbled into this restaurant on a whim. I was met by Jimmy who gave amazing service and guided me through the menu. I was showed an authentic Thai experience and ate amazing food that was worth the price. I left this business already planning on a return with my family. Godbless this restaurant.

Diner Review №25

I am blown away by the food and the service! We ordered miso soup, two rolls, and the mochi. The sushi was so delicious—I ended up ordering food to go! The GMO Jimmy was our server and the other owner, Tony, was our sushi chef—two great guys. Thank you both for the experience. We will be back!

Diner Review №26

The awards on the wall speak for itself.

Diner Review №27

Service was VERY slow. We ended up refilling our own water at the water station by the front door because we waited for 20+ min just for water refills.
The food was alright. Not spectacular. Mid level sushi and appetizers. Wouldn't make the trip for sushi again. Was not worth the money. I think they have a hooka bar upstairs which is unique.

Diner Review №28

I had the best jalapeño tequila shot here, it needs to be a drink fr

Diner Review №29

The food was amazing. The service was absolutely horrendous, this place was not autism friendly for my friend. The only way I would go back is if I placed an online order and picked it up. Our server served every other table and kept missing us and not servingyes she took 45 minutes to take our order and bring us our drinks we were there for about 2 and a 1/2 hours waiting for our food.

Diner Review №30

They kept changing the amount of light in the store, someone kept changing the light from bright to darker and the music was much too loud to have a conversation. The food that was given to me was colder than the plate.

Diner Review №31

Diner Review №32

Was so disappointing last night.. used to be my absolute favorite place when I lived here a few years back with amazing sushi. It was hardly edible.. the gyoza was served cold, almost frozen at parts. The manager didn't even know they were on the menu so that should have been a red flag there. They used to serve masterfully made sushi with great cuts, these ones didn't taste fresh, were bland and they tried talking us into getting wings instead?? Isn't this a sushi place? Lastly they had the music so loud we had to yell in eachothers ears when we were right next to eachother. I could maybe excuse that if it was packed but there was only one other couple there?? Looked into it and seems the old owner sold the place and it definitely shows. Used to be some of the best food in uptown. Really a shame.

Diner Review №33

Great atmosphere, always a good time at origami🤝

Diner Review №34

Multiple armed guards and needed a pat down to get inside to pick up food. Food was alright but pretty expensive for what it was.

Diner Review №35

Great drinks! It gets lively here at night.

Diner Review №36

Great food great customer service great owner good vibes security protects and serves for the guest of oragami ..SUSHI IS A MUST YOU GOT TO TRY THE SUSHI THE FOOD AND CHICKEN

Diner Review №37

I don’t know what’s up with this place, because all the reviews led me to believe it was a restaurant. It was a hookah lounge and the guy at the door wouldn’t let us in. Just wanted a nice dinner with my fiancé.

Diner Review №38

Really unorganized and owner are really rude toward us

Diner Review №39

Has strangers charge a cover fee for entrance. You will get straight up robbed. $20 here maybe $10 there depends on what random stranger is “working the door”.

Diner Review №40

Amazing food and service! We would come back just for the food and atmosphere, but we absolutely will come back because of the service. No surprise why this place has gotten so many awards (pictured).

Diner Review №41

C- Thai food at it's finest! Chicken so old and dry it's like 3 days after Thanksgiving at my mom's house!

Diner Review №42

Origami services 🔥🔥 food
Amazing

Diner Review №43

Sat there for 40 minutes and only received water. Horrible service and then had enough nerve to charge a cover charge that they wouldn’t return after not being served.

Diner Review №80

It's 330pm today's Happy Hour specials are from 3 to 6... but it looks like you are closed with no note on why...

Diner Review №81

They were very kind and fed me and my bestie at 1:30 am even though they were closing up. The food was delicious and the hospitality was unmatched. Music was great. Vibe was chill. Will 100% be going back.

We ordered a tuna avocado, dragon slayer with mango, and a crunchy roll. Delicious!!

Diner Review №82

Attentive service, clean and wonderful seating, delicious food. A great stop for a traveling party of friends to stop in and eat!
(I'd started putting rice on my Red Thai Stir Fry before I took a picture, sorry it's messy but I was hungry! It came out looking gorgeous! Same with the Thai Coffee, also pictured!)

Diner Review №83

The closest place to Moxy's uptown that had the twolves game. Good to see a bunch of fans when I got there. Bro was super slammed so I'll give him a break but otherwise good if perhaps understaffed service.

Diner Review №84

I would kill my new born baby for more of their pad thai, couldn’t get enough!

Diner Review №85

Such a beautiful restaurant, and the service was 10/10!! I got the Tom kha, pad Thai, and papaya salad and it was heavenly. I highly suggest trying the Tom Kha :)

Diner Review №86

The vibe is chill and sushi is on point !

Diner Review №87

Stopped in before a show at the Green Room. Great service and food. The Pad Thai with shrimp was excellent and a large portion as well. Next time I'll be trying the sushi for sure.

Diner Review №88

What a pleasant surprise right next to the Lagoon theatre. Perfect for date night

Diner Review №89

Came to try this place out, and ended up sticking around a couple hours because of the comedy show! What a nice surprise on a Monday evening. Really enjoyed the drunken noodles. Also had some excellent, strong drinks. Really cool vibes. Will be back for sure, especially on a Monday for more comedy!

Diner Review №90

This place use to be nice..... I know what happened but a serious downgrade.... seemed like the night server was on something.... decided to leave because he got lost in the two drinks he was making.....

Diner Review №91

I can selfishly say I have high standards for Origami and sushi, alone. As the daughter of the original Origami Restaurant, it was bitter-sweet walking through the doors for the first time after my dad retired and sold the restaurant to a brand that evolved from my dad's that he built from ground up the year I was born. I am so incredibly relieved and happily fed by the new ownership and quality of sushi that came to our table 💖. Tony and the rest of the crew know what they are doing and I couldn't be more excited to frequent this establishment! Thank you for the beautiful dinner and lovely hospitality, cheers!

Diner Review №92

Diner Review №93

It was great to get to eat here again. New ownership, new menu, but really good food. They’re still figuring out the service aspect, as everyone is new, but we had a good time and we would definitely come here again.

Diner Review №94

Food was absolutely amazing! Sushi was very fresh. Thai Tea was authentic and one of the best I have ever had! 100% recommend!!!

Diner Review №95

Delicious. My food came promptly, rest of service was great. I had the Thai crispy chicken stir fry which was great and a new specialty for them. Very cool restaurant too, I will for sure come back and try to do so on a Friday or Saturday evening. 5 stars across the board.

Diner Review №96

Words cannot even describe how disappointed I am with this place, ever since they reopened from “renovations” the service & atmosphere have declined significantly!
