Ordered the Vietnamese noodles, it was okay as a big portioned meal. Felt like something was missing. Big chunks of chicken that didn’t complement the noodle well. Dry. The cups of sauce served with the carry-out box tasted alright. I definitely want to try something different next visit.Parking sucks.

Good, quick, well made. Parking is rough. Been there a few times and the environment is casual. Spicy Esan is a solid pick.

Mediocre thai food.? Chicken satay was extremely bland, would skip.? Drunken Noodles were a little better, but sort of strange (almost like a mala spice)On the plus side, large menu and lots of healthy options like chicken breast.

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.

This is probably one of the worst Pad Thai I had. There noodles were dry and tasteless.

The noodle dishes and fresh spring rolls (shrimp or tofu only) are delicious with the sweet sauce. The peanut sauce was not tasty. Do not order the chicken yellow curry. There are other Thai places that have much better yellow curry dishes than this place. The chicken was dry, no onions and a few potatoes. Great portion of rice which I re-used the next day with a fried egg. There was barely any broth from the yellow curry left since there was really none to begin with. I was happy with most of my dishes!

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 missed Try the grilled chicken with peanut sauce, as well as the drunken noodles, and you won't be sorry.

Really not understanding the bad reviews here. I've been here a few times and it was amazing each time. It's clean, has good service, and the food is cooked and seasoned perfectly.

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.
Food was mediocre. Not worth the $50 for two people we spent. In addition, they have a tip line for to-go orders. Not a good look.

Feels like a fast food restaurant for drunk people. Food tastes flat and flavourless.

Very disappointed with this restaurant. Food does not take good. I ordered a curry masala with tofu and it was very spicy. I went to the counter and I told the lady that the food was too spicy for me and her response was very dismissed. She told me, well, that is masala. I told her that I know what masala is. I eat indian and Thai food all the time but the restaurants where I go always indicate how spicy it is. She told me, well, that’s how we prepare it here. Do you want to take it home? I said no. She did not offer to change the dish or correct the flavor. Anyways, that’s the first and the last time that I go and my friends also.

Such a good place for fast Thai food. If you like it spicy ask for it otherwise not much heat. Will be back for sure.

Do not sleep on Saffron Thai! Especially their catering menu. My professional organization has been coming here for many years. The food is excellent and are always on time. Their Cambodian Salad is our favorite. Brenda makes everything so easy for us. Thank you Saffron we will be back!
