Rafi SyedNovember 26, 2012Get a booth facing the bay, order the shaking beef and a singapore sling, go home happy. Don't neglect a Vietnamese coffee for dessert (condensed milk + strong coffee)
Christy LandesAugust 13, 2014The best food I've had in San Francisco, period. Family style adds something interesting. Extremely creative dishes. Great service!
Ceren Doganay-KaracaMarch 13, 2016Had the papaya salad and SD spring rolls, both light and yum! Good Moscow mule
JimMarch 27, 2016You will need a reservation for the main dining area but the bar area is "sit right down", same menu. Get the crab and cellophane noodles!
Fathima DadaSeptember 29, 2015Fabulous vegetarian. Good. Generous portions. Friendly service. Amazing views.
Corinne and JonathanAugust 13, 2011Some of the best meals that Corinne and I have had in San Francisco have been here. Just might be worth to extend your stay to lunch or dinner at the Slanted Door! Don't miss the chicken clay pot!- Kate ExpectationsMay 6, 2014Great food and amazing fast service even during very busy periods. Very pricey and definitely not anywhere near Vietnamese but absolutely delicious.
Rebecca GobersteinMarch 19, 2012Great place for visitors, as this place has excellent food, right on the Bay. The shaking beef is delicious, but ask your waiter for recommendations - too many to list here.
- Heléne BjörkmanJuly 22, 2015I absolutely love this place. Especially sitting by the bar and enjoying a diversity of dishes and excellent sea food
Excellent food and service, always. It's a must stop whenever in San Francisco!
Lauren PresserMarch 20, 2013DELICIOUS! I'm so full, it's a wonder my fat fingers can even write this tip. Must orders: cellophane noodles, shaking beef / donuts, snickerdoodle ice cream sandwiches.
MelissaMay 26, 2013Overall, awesome restaurant. Must go in when in SF. Spring rolls, chicken in clay pot, and cellophane noodles are all excellent.
PILAR PRENDESApril 16, 2015Bergamot port cubbler! Pork ribs! Jazmine rice ! And cheesecake! Absolutely delicious!!!!!
Kenneth Cole ProductionsNovember 15, 2012Amazing view of the Bay Bridge. Arrive early and watch the ferries go in and out of the harbor. If you're adventurous, take the ferry to Sausalito.
Nick FruendtOctober 1, 2014Delicious food, great cocktails, nice view, this place has it all! Next time I go I want to try the cotton candy.
Sandra PecisNovember 18, 2010One of the best restaurants in SF. For appetizers we ordered the Dumplings, the Yellow Tail sashimi, the Oysters and the Tuna Tartare and the Crispy Vegetarian Imperial Rolls. Unforgetable!
Steve GarlandJune 3, 2011We recently made our first visit to The Slanted Door. We could only get very early reservations for lunch, which worked out just fine. It was quiet, leisurely paced, and our waiter was perfectly atten
Tablet HotelsFebruary 26, 2013The delicious fusion-Vietnamese cuisine is outdone only by the stunning Bay Bridge views. Try the Manila clams or beef carpaccio
Kim FujiwaraDecember 6, 2013Try the wood oven roasted manila clams - Yumdeliecious! Manila clams, crispy pork belly, jalapeño and spices make this a onolicious dish!
Mark AddisAugust 30, 2013Wow...what awesome food. I could have ate a pound of the cellophane noodles. And they have absinthe on the desert drink menu!
ShelbyAugust 1, 2012Ate here about a year ago and the food was great! It was a Bridal Shower so most was pre-ordered. Great food, atmosphere, and breathtaking views.
Sarah BayNovember 22, 2014Friendly staff and quick serving! Tried the noodle crab - although a decent meal I wasn't quite blown away.. The great views took care of that however.
Dalton DMarch 3, 2013Cellophane noodles, shrimp spring rolls, oysters and cartelized prawns all rock. The spare rib was just ok compared to the rest - which was outstanding
Caroline FaureAugust 10, 2014Cellophane noodles with Dungeness crab are a must!! Pork ribs in hoisin sauce are good to share as an appetizer
Ricky SherrillDecember 7, 2014The noodles, "shaking beef", and the sticky rice with sweet potatoes are a great. You must try this place.
San Jose Mercury NewsMarch 8, 2013Did you know that Slanted Door Chef Charles Phan is opening a new San Francisco restaurant - Hard Water- in March 2013? Read more
Mital JoshiApril 8, 2013Fabulous staff, food and wine! If you're planning on coming here, book in advance. This place gets booked up pretty quick!
heatJuly 19, 2013The food is consistently good, and perfect for a big group to share multiple dishes. The rolls are yummy, and I always order the Shaking Beef.
Laura BarnesMarch 30, 2016Heartbeat of food in San Fran. Ferry building location makes it vibrate with the sights and smells of Cali food.
BravoDecember 2, 2010One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Offers classic and contemporary Vietnamese food. Big high energy room. A must see when in SF. -Rick Tramonto, Top Chef
Wilson Favre-DelerueApril 12, 2016Vietnamese dishes with a touch of American modernity. Certainly good but doesn't match the authenticity of Vietnam's stalls, markets and eateries.
Laura CNovember 17, 2011THE place for Vietnamese. The emphasis is on fresh and organic ingredients. For a quick fix, you can also pick up food to-go at their counter in the Ferry Building marketplace.
Grace S.July 25, 2012priority order: Clay pot chicken, Cellophane noodles, Shaken beef, Crispy imperial roll, Crispy green beans, Prawns &cocktail=ginger limeade
Juliet CastilloDecember 6, 2015Can't go wrong at this place. Everything is delicious. My personal fave is the Claypot Chicken.
William ScanlanDecember 30, 2012Always a great meal!! Sit at the bar and have Ricardo or Miguel take care of you!!! Nice nice guys who make a mean cocktail.
Ashley RoseMarch 17, 2015get there early to avoid the wait (don't worry- packed by 6). And try one of the veggie sides!
Cellophane noddles with crabs, chanterelle and Brussels sprouts, and Manila clams. Bermejo wine...
Thai Basil ice cream is an excellent mix of spice with mild sweetness. The Thai basil has a little mint quality to it that works!
Rajarshi ChakrabortyMay 7, 2017Awesome view and great food, I tried the Dungeness crab and shaked beef,out of the world
Kyle MooreAugust 29, 2014Everything is good, especially the BBQ ribs. Eclectic wine choices too...ask for recommendations.
Jeanne SperanzaJuly 8, 2016I had the squid and it was really good. Nice flavors. The vodka limeade was extra good.
The Slanted Door is one of my favorite places to dine in San Francisco. How gorgeous is the view? Love the cellophane noodles with crab. It's a must for tourist & LOCALS.
The move here, one I make on practically every San Francisco visit, is the late lunch c. 215pm when the bar has cleared out and the sunlight shifts. Chicken claypot did the trick this time. Next?
Mark NannaJune 19, 2012In a town full of great food, a HUGE standout! Also, ask for Bill as a server if possible,total PRO! Any server could take a note from his "book".
Adam FindleyMarch 27, 2015Alton Brown recommends Gau Choy Gow, Cellophane Noodles, Spicy Monterey Squid and Chue Farm Baby Bok Choy.

"*Everything* I tried here was great. So much so that this is the one and only restaurant where I asked for *second* main dish. Just go and enjoy."
