Reviews for Saffron Thai in San Diego, CA
The cicken cashew dish was nice. Slightly spicy but very tasty. Portion size is good. I will come here again
I've been here twice and the food is pretty good, but not the best. Service is nice though and you get your food super fast! If... I have more time though I'd go to another restaurant but the quick service is a big plus! Read more
Great tasty and fresh vegetarian option in the airport food court. I had the pad see ew with tofu, no egg, added carrots. Staff... was friendly. Read more
Their fried rice is great (ask for extra lime)! LOVE the fresh coconuts. The curries and noodle dishes are spicy and the... vegetables (cauliflower, green beans, onion) in them are uncooked. Not a fan of the egg rolls. The mango sticky rice isdelicious. So far I haven't found any menu items with saffron in them ????. Service is friendly!! Read more
The ambience was good, the vegetarian masala red curry was full of turmeric and was not authentic thai!! Noodles were amazing!!
I was very underwhelmed given the reviews for the place. I tried the Thai chicken. The chicken was about the driest and most... overcooked chicken I?ve ever had. The flavor was good but it created a Mohave desert in my mouth it was so dry. The chickenlooked to be cut with a machete it was so hacked up. The portion size was good but just very disappointing. I was hungry and ina hurry between meetings otherwise I?d have returned it. My failure to give them the opportunity to remake is the only reasonI?m giving them two stars. I couldn?t believe someone would serve this to a paying customer. I?d reserve this for the homelessat the end of the night. Read more
I discovered Saffron in my early years of arriving in San Diego, back when next to the restaurant they had the free standing... rotisserie spot. I have had a variety of their dishes over the years and they have never dissapointed. One of my favorites isand always has been their salad rolls with peanut sauce. Soooo good. Tonight i was craving their roasted chicken and a saladroll. Their combination plates for the chicken come with a very generous portion of jasmine rice and a thai coleslaw that isrefreshing and light. It is a great value for the amount of food you receive. I'm giving it four stars versus five onlybecause the chicken was a bit dry, granted it was breast. Just a tad bit more of moisture would have been great. The peanutsauce, still delectable, but thicker than i recall. They have modernized the place in terms of paint, art, and decorations. Ithas a clean modern feel and the rotisserie spot is no longer, it was murged into the kitchen of the main restaurant. Where therotisserie spot was is now a ceviche and taco restaurant. The menu looked great. Parking can be a bear as there is minimalstreet parking for the numerous restaurants along that street<. All things said and done, poor parking and all; the food isalways worthh it. Read more
Visited Saffron on a recommendation from my San Diego host; it did not disappoint. The Thai cashew stir fry was delicious as was... the Cambodian salad. Clean, fresh, friendly. I'll be back. Read more
