Saffron Thai - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was outstanding; they consistently deliver great food and value for money. They truly make the best fresh and authentic Thai food I've had outside of Thailand. My usual order, the Drunken Spicy noodles with shrimp, never disappoints. I highly recommend it – bring your friends!

I used to come here before when a lady owned it and it was delicious. I went again today and everything is different, so she obviously sold it since it has the same name. The vibe is more franchisey. And sadly. I was so so hungry and ordered three things to have for the next few days. Just got home and tried a few bites of everything and it is disgusting! The sauces, the chicken satay (terrible flavor and dry as the desert), the pad thai (I have no idea how they got this taste, nasty). It's all so gross. The only reason I'm eating it is cuz I'm famished. I won't be eating the rest though. In the trash! Total waste of money! The only reason it got the stars it did is because the atmosphere was clean and the service was fine, but nothing extraordinary by far. So so sad. I'm not sure how a place like this stays in business.

I used to order from here all the time, but it's been a while. I decided to try again and ordered the shrimp salad rolls and the Cambodian salad. The salad was great – fresh and tasty! However, the salad rolls were not so good. The shrimp was way overcooked, and one of them had black stuff on it. I couldn't even finish the last roll. I'm giving 3 stars because the veggies in the salad rolls still tasted fine and the salad was good, but the shrimp was awful.

We've eaten here for years and it's a great place to stop if you've just landed at the airport and want to grab a quick bite on the way home. The food is fresh and flavorful. We both had the special, Panang Beef curry. It was delicious and lots of beef in the curry. This dish came with rice and a side of stir-fried green vegetables - green beans, broccoli, onion, mushroom, and garlic. I would order this dish again.

This restaurant, once an old standby in San Diego, has unfortunately seen a decline after a change of ownership. While the food quality remains decent (rated 4/5), the experience has been marred by increased prices and a noticeable drop in standards. The atmosphere is now negatively impacted by excessively loud music, which I found offensive. My attempt to address this with the server was met with a rude and unresponsive stare, reflecting a poor service experience (rated 2/5).

My experience at the restaurant was disappointing, primarily due to the dirty fried rice. I am not a fan of how it was prepared. The rice itself was too sweet and too wet, which is not ideal. Additionally, the egg was too burnt, and the beef was too dry. These issues made me lose the desire to even take the leftovers home.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. While the service was nice, I was unaware it was a chain and not an authentic Thai place. The mango sticky rice was particularly bad, served with absurdly unripe mangos. It cost me $11 after tip, which felt like a lot for such a disappointing dish. Omg.

I've been here before and it was DELICIOUS, that was a year ago. Now, they gave me some soggy chicken and granted themselves a tip I didn't give. Not a fan anymore.

I liked the vibe and the outdoor seating, so I decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately, the drunken noodles were perhaps the worst I have ever had. The addition of zucchini, in an apparent effort to be interesting, completely threw off the taste. The sauce was flavorless, except for the chili spice and an overwhelming amount of ginger. The beef was tough, comparable to an IHOP breakfast steak. This was not surprising, as I observed no Thai people working on site. For the high price, I expected a much better experience.

My experience at this restaurant was amazing! I had the Drunken noodles, which were really good. My siblings also loved their Pad Thai, and I found it to be amazing when I tried some. My grandparents enjoyed their meals too, though I don't recall what they ordered. We had a slight disappointment when two of us couldn't get what we wanted, but it was an hour before closing, so they might have been out of ingredients. Despite that minor issue, the overall experience was fantastic, and the people were so nice.
