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?
EpicuriousAugust 25, 2010Vietnamese street food meets West Coast farmers markets in this hip see-and-be-seen spot. Try the barbecued Willis Ranch pork ribs with a honey-and-hoisin sauce.
Derek KanJune 19, 2013Good brunch spot. Cellophane Noodles w/ Dungeness Crab is great. Ask for off the menu garlic soy ribeye steak - ridiculous.
VickyisaStar LAUJune 3, 2011If it's a setting just for 1,let the bat tender know and they'll keep their eye out for you. Also you can get half orders of the slanted door spring rolls. The ginger limeade is delicious!
AvaAugust 10, 2014One of the better options in the area for dinner or lunch, really nice atmosphere as well.
Tracy StumJanuary 20, 2014Order their beignet desert if you don't go for the peppermint cotton candy!
Rick CottonDecember 24, 2013The California yellowtail with crispy shallot and Thai basil belongs on the list of best bites in SF . . .
Rob ScrippNovember 13, 2013Go to the bar and order a Singapore Sling! Best sling in SF. :) Dinner is really pricey here btw.
Crispy imperial rolls, daikon rice cake, caramelized shrimp, chicken claypot, sautéed broccoli!
M TJuly 27, 2015Perfect place for date night . Rice cakes are awesome . Good collection of cocktails
Robert GreenDecember 6, 2013Try the Drake's 1500 Dry Hopped Ale - Floral citrus notes from the hops in this pale ale but not as bitter as an American IPA
Geoff ReinhardtOctober 11, 2015A bit over-priced and over-hyped but still a delicious meal with great service.
- DAN COXAugust 23, 2011Sit at the bar during the day with the regulars and order up some delicious noodles. The Bar staff here are Pros' - attentive, informative, and polite!
Food & WineApril 20, 2011Many of the cocktails (like the Ginger Limeade—kaffir lime vodka, ginger and lime juice) are designed to complement chef Charles Phan's modern Vietnamese menu.
Victoria ShabanovaMarch 25, 2013It is quiet hard to get the table with out reservation, but they have bar service with the same menu, fast and easy lunch or light dinner will be not bad there.
Zahid ZamanNovember 10, 2012Sit on the patio with a chilled glass of wine for lunch with a stunning view of the Bay Bridge.
My new fav restaurant! They are great with accommodating gluten free requests. The ribs and imperial rolls are must haves!!!
Corinna PApril 7, 2014The shaking beef is amazing but above all else try the grilled red snapper collar.
Devon WilliamsJuly 26, 2015Not the most veggie-friendly place, but the crispy veggie imperial rolls and the Japanese Eggplant are a satisfying veggie duo.
MetaNet IVSFebruary 20, 2012Fantastic food, expertly executed. Book a reservation or show up ahead of time; the wait can be a bit long.
Ro JJanuary 21, 2013Excellent food and service! Lemongrass chicken is delicious. Great selection of wheat beers.
- Shaking beef, clay pot chicken and lemongrass chicken are great
Tasting TableMay 4, 2012If you can’t nab a reservation, the full menu can be ordered at the bar, along with stellar cocktails.
EnidFebruary 10, 2012Fried imperial spring rolls... Heaven sent the yellowtail might be the freshest I've ever had this side of megu!
- Robert GreenDecember 6, 2013Try the Slanted Door Spring Rolls - So good!! shrimp, basil, peanut sauce greens and rice noodles
LouieAugust 19, 2012Try the Hot Chocolate Croquettes - Dark chocolate croquettes w/ avocado ice cream & Thai chili jam
Du TranMay 11, 2012Wonderful Vietnamese restaurant with beautiful bay view, the mint rolls are recommended by me.
Hetal GandhiJuly 6, 2013The restaurant's name comes from the literal slanted door entrance at its original loc. Different family members built the floor, door, ceiling, etc. Bad communication led to a poorly built entrance!
Chona GuernseyDecember 2, 2012Try the Five Spiced Duck Confit With Frisee, Asian Pear, And Sherry Shallot Vinaigrette
