As good as I remember it from the early 90s, this is an offbeat and affordable Thai-inspired "quick food" community institution. Great any time and on rainy days they make Rainy Day Soup! Not to be missedTry the grilled chicken with peanut sauce, as well as the drunken noodles, and you won't be sorry.

So unfortunate that I have had to come to making a public warning about one of my favorite places. I had a friend visiting from out of town and I as a frequent customer of saffron wanted to rave about a local Thai restaurant that I've been going to for years. That said I ordered what I usually do; chicken pad-Thai noodles and dirty rice with chicken. My friend from out of town is allergic to soybean and had told the cashier that she couldn't consume anything that may contain soybean. Come to find some tiny chopped soybean tofu in our CHICKEN pad-Thai. Luckily we were sharing both meals and I had been splitting both plates when we noticed. Genuinely just distraught at the fact that the staff was specifically made aware of the allergen and there were no measure made to prevent this. As a BOH and FOH worker there should be some communication and accountability for what is being rung in and served to customers. Hopefully this does not happen to anyone else and was a genuine mistake. If I hadn't been sharing with her let alone maybe another regular client. The situation could have been worse for saffron.

This place had quick service, that was the highlight.Unfortunately the speed comes at expense of flavor. Everything seems to have been cooked separately and in advance, and you assemble your meal.We had a papaya salad with chicken. The chicken was absolutely flavorless, with the sauce served in a cup on the side so that you can flavor it yourself. It seems the chicken is pre-cooked so that it can be added to a noodle dish or thrown into a curry. We also got a noodle dish-the noodles were lacking in flavor and rubbery, as thought they've been sitting around for a while. Dishes had the main ingredients of Thai cuisine-but lacked that spice and depth of flavor found at other places.Saffron gets 2 stars because the food is not bad-just exceptionally bland. They prioritize speed over flavor. When your food comes out sooner than the group behind you can finish placing their order, there is going to be some corners cut.

Had lunch here few weeks ago. Ordering was easy, a few staff members were available and food came out quickly. Starting with our appetizer the Eggroll, my wife spits it out coz there's lots of crushed black pepper on it . Our Drunken noodles , i never encountered so many ingredients that were not necessary to be added that made the Drunken noodles not taste good. The yellow Curry chicken was okay but it had more Potatoes than meats. The only good part of our experience here was the Soup. A few added salt and it's perfect. The staff at the front who took the orders and delivered the food were friendly. But food is a no for me here.

A solid 3. Quick, tasty, but not cooked to order. It's kinda like Thai food...I've clearly been spoiled by Thai restaurants that cook your food after you've ordered it so that it arrives freshly prepared.The egg rolls are kept in a warmer and you can't adjust heat/spice levels.

Yummy!!! This place has always been one of my faves since moving here in 1997. You cannot go wrong with their fabulous chicken egg roll. Best in town. I usually get it with a side of stir fried broccoli. It makes for a healthy and delicious meal. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating so it is pup friendly!!Service is usually quick and friendly!!

I had the Kung Pao Chicken for lunch and couldn't finish more then two bites. The chicken is bizarre and clearly extremely low quality. Years ago, I used to come this restaurant about once a week and LOVED it and now I am totally shocked at how bad it was. Literally, my meal was disgusting and I walked out of the restaurant because I am on my lunch break and don't have time to explain how chicken should taste and what texture it should be. So disappointing. $18 down the drain and never coming back.

It's been ten years since my last visit, having moved to the central Coast. Absolutely everything is as spectacular as it was years ago. We had to go even though we had a very short schedule. But we made time to visit our friend Marcia. She was so pleased. From the Chicken sate to the cucumber salad ending with Mango Coconut rice for dessert.

This restaurant seemed too good to be true and it was. I ordered from them yesterday and got the chicken breast and jasmine rice. The breast was good until i got near the bone. To my horror the meat was raw near the bone. Pass.

I ordered pad Thai no bean sprout he brought me pad see ew. I told him I order pad Thai he said I ordered had see ew. I am embarrassed bc I knew he's wrong but I don't know what else to say so I just order it again. While my second order of pad Thai is being made he comes back outside and ensures it's no bean sprout la in my pad Thai, which I only ordered the first time lol. Pad see ew doesn't come w bean sprouts anyways. Then I see him laughing with the cook. I didn't feel comfortable eating food from them after this so I just left after spending $40 and getting nothing that I ordered.
