I have no idea what the food is but it's definitely not Thai food. The pad thai had a tomato-based sauce. It was nothing like pad thai. The eggrolls were barely warm and mushy. They had been sitting around a while. It's mediocre food at high prices.

Saffron Thai is a fast-casual eatery serving comforting Thai food with fresh ingredients and some distinctively healthier options.

THE FOOD
🍤 Healthy Fried Rice (with Shrimp): It uses organic red rice instead of white rice, stir-fried with plenty of vegetables. It was warm and tasty.

SERVICE & ATMOSPHERE
• The Team: The cashier was welcoming and attentive. I appreciated seeing them actively cleaning and tidying up the store during slower periods.

• The Vibe: The interior is bright with open seating.

• Outdoor Seating: There is a nice area right outside the entrance to relax and people-watch while you eat.

OVERALL
A great place to pick up a quick, fresh bite of Thai food for lunch or dinner!

Not good!

I’ve lived in Mission Hills for over 10 years and this place has been around for quite some time, but the food has become bland and the prices have skyrocketed per the small portions. I no longer find enjoyment coming here due to two things mentioned.

I hope this place the best, bet they should really think about their 4 star rating as an indicator. $20 for the portion pictured.

This is wonderful clean food! I especially like their rendition of drunken chicken. I always pick up food to go when I'm traveling. I'm the envy of every other traveler.

The food is great. They are not spending money on atmosphere.

Yellow curry was one of the worst I’ve had in my life. Be careful as you won’t get authentic thai food out here

Not authentic Thai food. Spicy noodle was salty and not spicy just oily, yellow curry was lacking flavor. Pad Thai noodles taste like ketchup.I will not be returning.

Always outstanding always delivers great food and value for money!!

They simply make the best fresh and authentic Thai food that I have had outside of Thailand.

My “go-to” dish is always Drunken Spicy noodles with shrimp and it never disappoints!

Highly recommended - 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 a clean and the service was find but nothing extraordinary by far. So so sad I'm not sure how a place like this stays in business

I couldn’t leave a review on Uber Eats but I used to order from here all the time. I decided since its been a while to order and get the shrimp salad rolls and the Cambodian salad. The salad was great! Fresh and tasty. The salad rolls not so much. The shrimp was way overcooked and one of my shrimps had black stuff on it. I couldn’t even finish the last roll. They get 3 stars because the veggies in the salad roll still tasted fine and the salad was good but the shrimp was awful.

Had to update my review from 3 years ago. I have been going here for at least 20 years and they were amazing. Since they have new ownership things have gone down hill. Nothing I order is the same as it used to be. Their pad thai is just not even good anymore. It is really sad to see this authentic restaraunt become what it has.
