Upscale vegan eats, noodles, and cocktails in a serene setting
"There are tons of options for casual vegan dining in Vegas, but for those looking for a more special occasion-appropriate spot, head to Saffron to eat East Asian food made with seasonal, local ingredients, drink natural wine, and enjoy the restaurant’s beautiful surroundings. Despite the name, most dishes are not only vegetarian, but vegan. Try the pumpkin coconut soup, bang bang cauliflower, and clay pot rice made with local king oyster mushrooms." - Katie Swalm
"Saffron, The Vegetarian Eatery, in Chinatown, will offer a vegetarian three-course meal, or a vegan surf and turf option, accompanied by select craft beer or a tamarind whiskey sour. Dishes include eggplant katsu or a heart of palm ceviche starter, a sukiyaki burger or crab cake entree and a gelato dessert." - Janna Karel

"Restaurateur Tony Nguyen and chef Louross Edralin, who appeared on Season 4 of Hell’s Kitchen, offer vegetarian dishes at Chinatown’s Saffron. The atmosphere brings together serenity and stability in the 90-seat dining room with a private dining area. A pond flowing through a hand-made basin anchors the room, crowned with a statue made in Vietnam exclusively for the restaurant. East Asian wood-carved accents and large murals decorate the space." - Susan Stapleton
"After a life-changing vegetarian meal in Vietnam inspired the project, I see Saffron aiming to change perceptions about vegetarian food in Las Vegas by showcasing vegetables in satisfying meatless dishes—owner Tony Nguyen emphasizes he’s not a vegetarian but wants to prove vegetarian food can make non-vegetarians feel great—and the restaurant plans an “elegant and calming” debut in suite A at 3545 S. Decatur Boulevard." - Eater Staff
