Thai food is a favorite of mine and my gal pals and the menus at Saffron Thai is a casual, clean restaurant with authentic and classic dishes. Su-Mei Yu opened Saffron, San Diego’s first Thai restaurant, on India Street in 1985. Her unique approach to creating delicious dishes that nurture the mind, body, and soul using healthy Thai cooking techniques quickly earned her national acclaim and a loyal customer following. As one of San Diego’s most loved culinary figures, Su-Mei is also the author of numerous cookbooks.
