Bistro Saechao - Jackson (CA)

5 /5 Marcus Blackwell: Absolute magic! If this place was in San Francisco, it would still be my favorite lunch spot in the city. Food was fresh, thoughtfully made, and had an interesting take on every dish. The heirloom tomatoes on the BLT today were straight from the owner’s garden. Drover 25 minutes today to pick this up today and I would do it again.

5 /5 Westmoreland Brandon (Techknowdude): Warning: the food is so good you will eat it too fast and be sad when it’s gone. The owners are great people, they try their best to locally source the ingredients and get them as fresh as possible and you can taste it. We got the breakfast sandwich with sausage and a French roll and bagel. Both were outstanding. Tons of flavor. I’ll definitely be going back. I feel bad for all the people working out having to smell that amazing food the entire time! I would be eating at the start and end of every workout.

5 /5 Travis Ambrose: This place is a phenomenal hidden gem in a small town. The food is a creative blend of southeast Asian flavors presented as sandwiches, bowls, salads and quesadillas. The owners Ellen and Jason were some of the friendliest and most genuine restaurant owners I’ve ever met. We went with their chocolate, peanut butter and banana smoothie and the Asian Bowl with Ellen’s recommendation of sauces (that they make in house) and it was healthy, filling and delicious. If you have the chance to come here, stop in. You’ll be glad you did.

5 /5 Ashley Saechao: I found this place based on a google search and noticed it had the same last name as mine’s so I decided to give it a try and support my people. If you’re in the area and looking for a delightful meal that supports local businesses, Bistro Saechao is a must-visit. With a menu that includes an delightful Asian bowl with bulgogi sauce and chicken, this place offers a taste of authenticity that’s both delicious and fresh. The ambiance is casual yet inviting, situated in a complex that houses a fitness gym and a barber shop, adding to the community feel. The food is not only tasty but also fast, refreshing, and light – perfect for any time of the day. I highly recommend stopping by for a meal that’s sure to satisfy your cravings and support your community. It’s a win-win!

5 /5 sean condon: This place is literally phenomenal. In a part of the state where theres really only fast food and American cuisine, this is a rare outlier. I stop here every time Im heading into the mountains. 10/10
