Origin Asian Bistro & Sushi

The food is fresh and tasty, and they have awesome lunch specials! The tempura dish is huge, and can easily feed two people. I always get the pad thai and my boyfriend goes for the curries. The thai tea is also delish and we never leave without having one. Amazing place and the prices are unbeatable.

As clean and bland as it gets. Pan-​regional Asian mediocrity in a tidy little Key Biscayne shopping area.
Stick to the basics here, though there seems to be a little buzz around the steak on a hot stone.

Seems better than it is. I went to have dinner with some friends because we wanted to try it for the first time, but we were surprised with the results. First of all, the waitress didn’t treat us in a nice way, in a way that seemed like she didn’t want to work. Second, the food wasn’t exactly delicious, but very spicy for Japanese style, in addition to the fact that they kept us waiting for a long time.

Origin Asian Bistro & Sushi has mediocre quality sushi. I ordered the Rainbow Roll and the Heat Roll, and in both rolls the fish was not that fresh and the rolls were one-​note in taste. I enjoyed the Heat Roll more than the Rainbow Roll because it had tuna, which is a naturally flavorful fish. The Rainbow Roll was really lacking in flavor, which is a shame for a roll that has several types of fish. Origin Asian Bistro & Sushi is affordable for anyone on a budget, but I’d recommend trying out the other items on their menu besides the sushi.

Great lunch spot, with numerous lunch specials that allow you to sample a bit of everything. How is this possible, you ask. Well, as an example, I like to get the Chicken Curry Lunch Special, which comes with your choice of soup or salad, chicken curry (go figure!), fried rice, california roll, 2 fried dumplings, 2 fried chicken wings, and 2 steamed dumplings, all for ~$ 10.
For the price, you can’t beat the selection!
Only downside to Origin I’ve experienced is the fact they open at 11:30am, but also don’t start to sweep/​mop the dinning room until 11:30am. So, if you arrive before noon, expect to have your feet attacked by the (careless/​unaware?) busboy. :/

By far the best sushi place in the world. You can never go wrong with origins. The must try is the chicken lo mein and the shrimp shumai. I have never been dissatisfied with Origins!

So, considering the review I wrote about seeing if she’s safe less than a mile up the street… This one is a gem to review. I decided to stop in here on my way home from the beach and order pretty much the same thing I ordered at the sushi place up the street. Gets it… I ordered their salmon sashimi appetizer and salad and order of tofu noodles something or other for my good friends with him on Thursday… And the total bill for all of that is $ 15 less than my bill was up the street for salmon and seaweed salad alone. & I had more sashimi here for the price that I did up the street and the pieces were bigger and the salmon is better. Furthermore, they let you add your own tips here. They don’t add your tip on and not give you a choice for service of one person they do at the gratuity on for parties of 6 or more which is typical restaurant procedure. The food was great the atmosphere was great to have a wonderful outdoor patio and the service was very good. Obviously I will never go to the sushi spot up the street and I will always come here and I highly recommend it!!!

We did not expect much coming inside Origin Asian Bistro & Sushi Restaurant (Key Biscayne, Miami) this morning after a big disappointment 2 days ago at a Thai restaurant in Miami Beach. But to our surprise, Origin Restaurant served us the best Thai food so far in Miami area. Its staffs, waiters, and waitresses are very polite and friendly. Additionally, the price is very affordable. Our meal costs half as much as the meal at the Miami Beach restaurant.

I have been eating at Origins since it opened years ago!!! The sushi is fresh and delicious!!! I am a creature of habit and always order their Heat roll, spicy tuna roll, Malaysian roti, steamed dumplings, and chicken pad thai. They are reasonably priced and friendly. Their outdoor setting is always a great way to enjoy the afternoon or evening outdoors. I highly recommend Origins!!!

Took a large group of 25 people to this place. They managed to fit us all comfortably inside the restaurant and the service was prompt and the food was awesome! Prices were really great and for the quality. I had the donuts for dessert and I was blown away by them! If you are in the area I highly recommend coming to Origin!

I have been here every year for the last 7 years when I go to the Miami Open. The food is always very good (good curry and sushi) and the service is good as well. The out door seating is great to people watch.
Really enjoy it

Let’s just start by saying very good service and usually since I’m younger service is not great but they treated my friend and I as adults. They food all tasted very good and it was very neat and well constructed. May I add they had a beautiful place to sit outside.

The sushi pretty good. The service was good and personable. I tried the dragon roll, the heat roll, California roll and the key Biscayne roll. I also ordered a chicken stir fry garlic pepper sauce. Overall a good experience. I would recommend it.

Consistent quality and a very varied menu. It’s hard to go wrong here. It can get a little pricey but that have a very good early bird 3 course dinner menu for $ 14.95…or you can use the Primecard and save 15%. All in all this is a good place to go for a sure-​thing quality meal.

We walked in on New Years Eve without a reservation. The rain closed down their outside seating which is half their space. Staff was pleasant. Food was very good. Sushi was exceptional and reasonably priced.

This place used to be good. USED TO ! The service is getting worse and worse every time. The food is not consistent. Pray before u go to get good food. Sometimes I get a perfect cooked salmon. Sometime it is over cook /​dry. Tom yum soup sometimes is good, sometimes is too salty and smell weird. So pick your lucky day to go here. One of the wait staff is rude and unprofessional. Avoid the big tall guy !! Bad service !! The only 2 stars I gave them is for their sushi !! Always good and fresh. Sushi chef always nice and friendly.
I used to see a guy (assuming he was the manager). Now he is gone. Maybe the good service is gone too?

Excellent lunch menu on Key Biscayne!
Any item includes pork fried dumplings AND a soup or salad, for apporx $ 12!
The curry rice dishes are great as is the pad thai.
Great little lunch stop if you bike to key biscayne.

As awkward as the server usually is… Its a nice awkward that makes you want to come back. Food is above average. The atmosphere is nice. Its one of my favorite spots on key biscayne.

This is absolutely my favorite Asian restaurant.
The Good: I have had just about every Tapas (appetizer) here and they are most def. the star of the show. I’ve been to this restaurant over 20 times since I’ve moved to Miami.
I consistently love their lamb ribs (even though I’m more of a pescatarian and not a fan of BBQ) they are a great combination of sticky, sweet, tender goodness.
The Malaysian Roti is great (My dad is Trini, so I KNOW good roti) This is not what you would traditionally get at a Caribbean, or Indian restaurant, but it falls into the flaky goodness category.
The Ceviche (Tuna) is a spicy, sweet, salty, soft, crisp combo of deliciousness. I’ve had ceviche at other Asian restaurants, but Origin’s is the best.
Sushi is good
Entrees are good (except anything with chicken — see below)
The Bad: I will not order any dish with chicken. I’ve had the curries and they are amazing but I just stick to the shrimp from now on because the chicken is horrible. It’s just a tasteless, kinda rubbery, generic, pre-​sliced, pre-​cooked, garbage similar to what you get at a fast food Chinese place. (Everything else on the menu’s absolutely delicious, that’s why I gave them 5 stars)
The Service: Great, warm, friendly!

Best sushi/​Japanese restaurant on the Key. Very nice owner who always helps with specials and is very friendly. It is always delicious and they just redid the interior and it looks even better than before. I suggest the mini sushi mori, miso soup, and white rice.
