Diner Review №1

Was not happy with whole evening. I reserved a month in advance for my bday/anniv/valentines dinner and i did stipulate that on my reservation!. We were sat at a small 2 top table(like at ihop or applebees type small table) in btwn 2 top and 4 top tables we were listening to everyone elses convo only being a foot or 2 apart awkward !! And not the way i wanted my celeb evening to be. I expected more! The room seemed packed in weve been there b4 and it was not set like that. Food: chef fried rice with chicken was bland and slightly dry so had to ask for soy sauce and salt pepper to jazz it up. Cashew chicken i was so looking forward to this but it was so spicy hot was so hard to eat so took a togo box and mixed it with rice/citrus at home for lunch next day still spicy but able to eat it. California roll was good and the cheese rolls were good . I will not reserve a celebration/ special occasion here again, ok for drop in lunch all be pricey one. Staff was pleasant /smiling and when asked ? Were informative.

Diner Review №4

Not just my server but everyone's server was talkative, attentive, and friendly with their tables and knowledgeable about the food. . I got great suggestions and the food did not disappoint!

Diner Review №5

Some really good food and great service. They need to add their tonkotsu ramen to their permanent menu as a feature so I can get it every week!

Diner Review №6

I love Saffrons. You can literally close your eyes and land your finger on the menu, open your eyes and order what you finger is touching and it will be amazing. Thank you Saffrons, you are great. You make great food. Wonderful employees, great wonderful freakin amazing people. God dang it. You accommodate vegetarian needs and that makes me so happy. Take all my money. I always love the dim lighting and the window views of Cape splash.

Love this place. Seagreen Salad, Miso Soup, Octopus Salad and Sushi are all I need and all are done well here.

Diner Review №16

Diner Review №17

This is a very nice restaurant with great service serving middling to good Thai cuisine at premium prices (they also have sashimi and rolls). Expect to spend about $30-35 per person for a meal here, although it could be higher depending what you order.

Diner Review №18

Loved the food, and the service was great.

Diner Review №19

Diner Review №20

We love this place! It’s definitely the best sushi in the area, by far. We also love the satay. Megan is obviously an excellent manager and very friendly and helpful. The servers have always been excellent. The atmosphere is perfect; the music is tasteful, and stays appropriately in the background. The food is always delicious and never disappoints. It’s definitely worth the 45 minute drive.

Diner Review №21

Our favorite restaurant in Cape! The staff is so kind and the food is excellent! They are extremely accommodating to food allergies such as Celiac Disease. Large servings and always good quality ingredients. We’ve gone here for years and will continue to go back!

Diner Review №22

Everything is good but a $1.50 for chilli paste is a little bit much.

Diner Review №23

Amazing Sashimi!
The large at 30 would easily feed two. What a great place!

Diner Review №24

My wife and I drove by this place and knew we had to try it. Food is great, fantastic service and just an all around fun place. It's on our weekly visit list. Try it, you'll love it.

Diner Review №25

Stopped in here on a whim as I was passing through town and am very thankful I did. Atmosphere was very nice and the food was delicious.

Diner Review №26

Amazing food, amazing staff. Thanks Paul Rudd look-alike

Diner Review №27

A great fusion restaurant in Cape! Service has always been great, and they have always had a good variety on their menu.

This place is just perfect

Diner Review №32

I was very impressed with every aspect of my dining experience this evening. I ordered carryout online seamlessly. The posted pickup time was correct. The food packaging was the best I've ever seen. The fried rice was the best fried rice I've ever had. The creme brulee was amazing! I will definitely come back again and again!

I really enjoyed my dining experience in this restaurant. Food was great, as well as the service.

Diner Review №37

The food was extremely fresh and a beautiful presentation as well.

Diner Review №38

Diner Review №39

Just ordered the chef's fried rice. This is just steamed rice with some seasoning and chicken that is the same color as the rice. Very sad to pay $17 for rice! Btw I didn't touch it and yes that is how it was packaged

Diner Review №40

Diner Review №41

Love the food and sushi

Diner Review №42

Our first meal in Cape Girardeau was exceptional thanks to the staff at Bistro Saffron. We will be back.

Diner Review №43

This is our favorite place to eat when visiting or driving by Cape. Their soups are delicious, nothing actually is bad.. you can’t go wrong with ordering anything on the menu.
Desserts are to kill for. Best bread pudding, purple rice pudding is always a hit. We sure hope their quality doesn’t change…

Diner Review №44

Super nice staff and very helpful. Food pretty good but I’m Korean and from Houston and my brother in law is Laotian so I may be judging a little biased because I have access to authentic food. Overall great flavors and great price especially for the nigiri.

Diner Review №45

Diner Review №46

I ordered sushi to go almost on 50$. I came home and opened the bag, and I was so disappointed that I don't have sushi sticks and soy sauce included!! I was tired to go back and complain, my evening and mood was ruined, sorry. It's first in my life I didn't get soy sauce and sticks with sushi. Rolls were not bad.

Diner Review №47

Diner Review №48

I always enjoy this place. It is spot on. The food is always fresh and fantastic. The wait staff are friendly and the place is always clean even when they are busy!

Diner Review №49

My wife and I visited Saffron for the first time over the weekend as part of celebrating our anniversary. I had reached out to them via Facebook to ask about menu items and reservations, as someone on a vegan diet this is something I do often, and the manager that I spoke with was by far one of the most helpful people I've encountered via a random Facebook message conversation.

I can't say enough great things about our experience. They reserved a table in the corner for us with plenty of space and a great view of the sunset over the trees (and even a few deer out and about) and they even put out a nice card wishing us a happy anniversary. I think almost every front of the house team member was kind enough to stop and also wish a happy anniversary, including the manager. Our waiter was extremely polite and professional, and knowledgeable of the menu and made great recommendations. He was also very helpful in providing us suggestions regarding local events over the weekend as well as after dinner options for us to enjoy a drink in a comfortable environment. Our food was all very fresh and delicious, and we were even provided with a wonderful complimentary dessert.

I don't believe I've ever had a dining experience on par with how great Bistro Saffron was this weekend. My wife and I will definitely be visiting each time we're in Cape Girardeau from now on.

Diner Review №50

Service was great

Diner Review №51

Awesome Thai Tea. Food was delish

Diner Review №52

Great food and very friendly staff

Diner Review №53

Best Sushi in town.

Diner Review №54

All I have to say is the service was wonderful. The young waiter who has been their for a while is very nice and helpful and competent. Veggie rolls were good, pan fried dumplings tasted like they were frozen and dropped in hot oil, not freshly made. Very disappointed in our cashew chicken. Dropped over $70.00 with tip just to be disappointed.

Diner Review №55

Food was bland. No fountain soft drinks. One can of soda costs $3.00.

Diner Review №56

Really good

Diner Review №57

Good food. The sushi was tasty and beautiful presentation. Pleasant atmosphere that easy to visit with friends.

Diner Review №58

Absolute perfection. We expected standard, Thai (maybe Americanized) fare but a gifted and friendly chef from Thailand, an attentive and personable server, very tasteful surroundings and the most authentic, delicious family recipes were what we found. And all at a reasonable price. We will be back, again and again. We have been in Cape several months, checking out the cuisine, and this was a delight in every way.

Diner Review №59

Diner Review №60

Freshest sush in town!!! The music they play in the restaurant isn't offensive to your ears and that's a huge plus. Very clean and satisfying place. Also, why is their water so good????

Diner Review №61

Underrated by most. Food was delicious. Service was friendly.

Diner Review №62

AMAZING food! Love the atmosphere! Best seats are outside when the weather is nice!

Diner Review №63

Diner Review №64

Middle aged server angry that I don’t leave a tip. I’m a single person having a meal alone. I don’t think a tip is warranted for you to place my plate on the table bring me water and my check. As I’m sitting in my car writing this review another employee comes to my window a male this time. Asking me if my service was bad and why I didn’t leave a tip. Apparently the only reason they work here is for tips. The state minimum wage for servers is apparently 5$ per hour plus tips. I’m not from this state but all I can say is fight for your right to a living wage. A customer shouldn’t supplement what the job you have isn’t providing.

Overall food was great unfortunately I won’t be back after this.

Diner Review №65

Best Thai food in the area! Try the Chocolate creme broule! You won't be sorry

Diner Review №66

Best sushi in town!!!

Diner Review №67

This is my favorite place to eat and restaurant of choice. I love the Chicken Kao Soi (sp?) dish and would highly recommend it along with the saffron toast and any of the teas. Highly recommend!

Diner Review №68

Very expensive, food amount is very very less. Thai tea is too sweet makes my blood pressure very very high. 60 dollar for curry chicken, California roll, and another roll plus Thai tea. That makes me want to donate my money to people who really needs food and cloth.

Diner Review №69

Took my Girlfriend out for sushi (the first time for her)
She loved it and loves sushi now

Diner Review №70

Diner Review №71

My favorite place for sushi in Cape! Their ingredients are always fresh and their creations always innovative. I love their sushi specials!

Diner Review №72

Diner Review №73

Diner Review №74

What a secret gem!! Did not expect to find a place like this in this town where the food was so good. Reasonably priced and great service.

Diner Review №75

Always good just very expensive when you can get better sushi other places.

Diner Review №76

Do you guys have indian food?

Diner Review №77

A wonderful meal complimented by the great service. Tables are a bit crowded and the entrance could use a reset as those were the only things that took away from the experience.

Diner Review №78

Food was very good and server was friendly and attentive

Diner Review №79

Great food.Great service.

Diner Review №80

Great Thai inspired food.

Diner Review №81

My dad and I visited the restaurant yesterday for a shared birthday dinner for his birthday and mine. The waitress brought out a fried banana and a little candle on the house for the celebration. I cannot say how happy both of us were and I definitely will remember this forever. Thank you to the Saffron staff for being so kind and thoughtful ❤

Diner Review №82

I live in New York, and when I come home to Cape Girardeau to visit I always drop by.

Diner Review №83

Updated review. They no longer have the coconut cod and the Panang sauce. But I once again had the curry chicken and my wife had the Massaman curry. Delicious. And sushi too.

Wonderful everything! Coconut cod was so good by itself that I didn't even want to dip it in the panang sauce. Then I realized how good the panang was that I practically drank it. The yellow chicken curry was amazing. One of the best I've had. The raspberry crepe is very good also.

Diner Review №84

Diner Review №85

Great place. Thai food very good, nice drink menu. Help very good and beautiful outdoor seating.

Diner Review №86

Expuisite food, service, and atmosphere.. wonderful wonderful place. We will be regulars. So thrilled to have discovered this place.

Diner Review №87

Sushi rolls were lacking in the amount of tuna (one piece had none in it at all)
Lacking flavor and sushi rice was not cooked properly. Sent it back and ordered Wonton soup and it was tasty. Would not go back here for the lunch special rolls. Service was very good.

Diner Review №88

My first time eating here. The price range is affordable. Saffron soup is the good entre to start with (my friend recommended). A little bit spicy for who love that taste. I also ordered stingha beer and was surprised as it taste. It bitter when you drink but will leave a sweet aftertaste. Would come again to try another Thai curry dishes!!! Highly Recommend

I gave it 4 stars since the topping was not as my expectation (should add shrimp or ground pork since the bowl just has 2 pieces of shrimp)

Diner Review №89

Great food, great service, prices good.

Diner Review №90

Overall okay, overpriced for the quality of food.

Diner Review №91

Diner Review №93

Food is amazing

Diner Review №94

As a long time lover of Bistro Saffron, I am SO disappointed in the service I received. After my friend and I attempted to order a beer and SHOWING THEM my valid ID, they said they “didn’t feel comfortable serving us.” Mind you, I am 22 and my friend is 25 and my friend had a valid ID as well. I WILL NOT be returning which makes me sad since they were my favorite restaurant. Don’t discriminate on looks Bistro!

Always an excellent dining experience. The quality of their food is the best. I ordered a sausage that was a bit spicy but perfect for my keto diet along with a fish of mixed steam vegetables. The staff is friendly and their service is great.

Diner Review №105

Diner Review №106

Great place the service was tops the food was wonderful very adequate amount of food for the price no comparison in the area for the amount of food for the price most places are overpriced with a little bit of food this is underpriced with a lot of food and very high quality.
I would recommend it to anyone.

Diner Review №107

I always enjoy going to Bistro Saffron, delicious food and great staff!

Diner Review №108

5 stars for the waitress 3 Stars for the food and pricing. It just wasn't that good, and the portions of sushi were too small for the price and the flavor was lacking for my order. Nice atmosphere , but won't be visiting again.

Diner Review №109

Always great!! 😊Megan is the best!!!

Diner Review №110

Diner Review №111

Amazing!

Diner Review №112

Diner Review №113

This sushi was super fresh, even though we had just a Monday special! I think it might be the best on Cape Girardeau. The noodles were fine too! Those shrimp added were kind of pricey though.

Diner Review №114

Diner Review №115

Excellent food as usual. Good friendly service. Very attentive. If you're looking for something a little different and good you got to stop in.

Diner Review №116

Good stuff!

Diner Review №117

Diner Review №118

Delicious food, attentive service, consistent positive experiences. Very enjoyable.

Diner Review №119

I came here as a suggestion from friends, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sushi here. Sure, they may have much fewer variety than a dedicated sushi place, but the Tuna was fantastic! I am looking forward to going again soon.

Diner Review №120

Diner Review №121

Excellent tasting food. I ordered the seafood hot pot and was pleasantly surprised just how good it was. The broth was outstanding and had plenty of seafood in it. It does have some heat to it. Then ordered some sushi and edamame...the sushi was good; presentation was a bit messy, and portion was small, but overall was good.
It is on the pricey side, however I'm okay with that with the quality and taste of the food.

One of the best Thai food places in Cape. Very upscaled environment and professional staff. Food quantity is more than enough for a person and is totally worth the price for the food and environment. Must Try!

Disappointed. Order for cashew chicken was tofu, take out order skipped dressing for salads. Food was generally good/ fresh but less flavor than typical good Thai places

Diner Review №137

The food was fabulous, the portions were very small unlike the check!!! I was aware of this before ordering,extremely tasty, and recommend it to those who he eat little but spend much!!!!

Diner Review №138

Diner Review №139

Great ambiance and food in this cozy little place. This is easily the best sushi you will find in Cape, and they have several other entrees and apps that are just as impressive, if sushi isn’t your thing.

Diner Review №140

The food is amazing, but the lack of dine in is a real deterrent. I can't tell you how many times we've wanted to go here but don't want to try to eat fusion food off of our laps in the truck.

Diner Review №141

Diner Review №142

Diner Review №143

I've always loved this place, but I can't give 5 stars when you forget utensils, napkins, and soy sauce on a take-out sushi order.

Diner Review №163

Diner Review №164

I think that was the best quality of food I've ever had. The food they serve looks and probably tastes like the masterpieces I see on cooking shows. I tried sushi for the 1st time there and I can't begin to describe all the flavors, all I can say is that it was amazing. All the food I tried there was amazing.

My husband and I were in town to watch the OVC Outdoor Track championships and we're looking for a local restaurant, not a chain. We came across Bistro Saffron in an online search and decided to check it out. We were NOT disappointed!!! The service was fantastic, friendly and overall wonderful. However, the food, oh the food was beyond what we expected. We ordered three sushi rolls, pad Thai, and Curry. Everything was incredible!! We travel a lot and this was hands down some of the best sushi, curry and pad Thai we've ever had. This place is special and a hidden gem that more people need to know about. Keep up the amazing job!

Diner Review №191

Poor service, high prices, mediocre food.. wont be back.

Saffron is hands down the best place to get sushi in Cape Girardeau. Great dinner environment and friendly to your wallet.

Diner Review №199

Always great food! It's on the pricier side, but the quality is well worth it.
