Agricole Rhum Punch, all their cocktails fantastic & should be for $13. While you enjoy your libation at the bar, watch the oyster shucking & seafood prep station's attention to detail on each plate.

The first bracing taste of the pho bo ($8.50) -- a traditional soup with noodles and beef, served with a plate of sprouts, herbs, chile sauce and lemon -- brought me back to Hanoi's market stalls Read more

Crispy Imperial Rolls: amazing taste and texture bomb 💣poppers to please your tongue and tummy: crunchy, soft, sweet, spicy, salty, warm, cold, bright, fresh, incredible must have appetizer!

If you can snag a seat at the long bar, with the Bay and the Bay Bridge just over your right shoulder, and order a few fried things to go with your cocktails, you'll feel like you've arrived. Read more

If you are dining solo the staff is super friendly and will offer you to order half portions of some dishes. Great for you to try a bit of everything and not waste anything.
David BoneNovember 11, 2016
Amazing. We tried to order the whole menu. Cocktails are well balanced and the food is so flavorful. I don't usually order the pork belly but with a sharing atmosphere I'm glad we did. Not too fatty.

My second visit and food was outstanding as expected. Unlike last time, we also indulged in their desserts. Citrus Trifle was worth the visit. Milk Choco. Mousse, bland name for this pistachio dessert

The Vietnamese crepes are a masterful blend of complementary textures. The tender pancakes are sauteed to form a crunchy edge, encasing velvety poached shrimp, vegetables and bits of pork. Read more

Most amazing Vietnamese Fusion food I have ever had. Loved everything that we ordered: Imperial Spring rolls, Daikon Cakes, Lemongrass Tofu. place with a great view of the bay. Reserve before visiting
Jennifer EvansSeptember 19, 2015
Their rolls are delicious but for anyone with a peanut or nut allergy, the staff is willing to adjust recipes. Great views, decent wine list and good service. Great family style dining option.
Karen MiaoFebruary 27, 2016
Beautiful restaurant with a beautiful view. Food is always spot-on, especially the shaking beef, imperial rolls, crab noodles...bar is also great for a cocktail or strong iced coffee + apps

LOVED this place. Good vibe, great food and drinks. Reservation is a must but if you don't have one you can dine at the bar ordering from the restaurant full menu. California yellowtail is sooo good!
Drew AustinSeptember 3, 2013
Best dinner I had in SF. Imperial rolls, spare ribs, cellophane noodles, spicy broccoli, and the shaking beef. Just do it. Thank me later.
Emma PintoNovember 7, 2014
Everything you order is good! Pork belly is great! Shrimp with shishito peppers delicious, bok choy with mushrooms and all the vegetable dishes are very well prepared! It is a must!
KevinApril 21, 2017
Amazing restaurant! The tuna tartare, imperial rolls, cellophane noodles, and dumplings were fantastic, and you can't go wrong with the ginger limeade. Will definitely return!
tricia wangApril 7, 2016
Get rice daikon cake, chicken clay pot, crab cellophane noodles, & pick a yummy veggie. Skip spring rolls - totally overrated though the sauce is great.
Daniel BouludJuly 30, 2014
With beautiful views of the bay, I enjoy coming here for an early dinner to watch the sun set. My favorites include the shaking beef, cellophane noodles with crab and seasonal vegetables.
Mike WiseJanuary 2, 2015
Dropped in for lunch since dinner seemed impossible. Bar was quite comfortable and service was friendly. Best spring rolls I've had. A great beer selection that probably is overshadowed by food.

The Bay views of Charles Phan's popular restaurant are alluring, but the attraction remains Phan's incredible, inventive Vietnamese-inspired food. Try the spicy short ribs and crab spring rolls . Read more
Jessica WickhamMarch 1, 2017
Book ahead for this popular place. Everything is incredible but recommend spring rolls and ribs to start. The vegetable dishes are delicious and enough to share
Alex HoffertSeptember 2, 2016
What's good? Well...the view, the drinks, the wine list (although I expected more CA choices), the veggie wraps with peanut sauce , the beef entree, the bok choi, and the cotton candy.
Chris JamesJuly 17, 2013
You owe it to yourself, period. If you're in San Francisco and you can afford it, make your way here. Food is amazing, desserts included.
Ivis MasFebruary 13, 2015
Ginger limeade cocktail is amazing, along with all the great Asian food on the menu. Don't forget to get the cotton candy!
Bryant LukJune 18, 2016
Shaking beef is delicious. Seats available at the bar. Waterfront restaurant so expensive but worth the experience.
Brian StraussJanuary 21, 2019
First rate after all these years. Incredible views. Excellent execution from the kitchen and bar. Good variety. Lots of veggie dishes.
Alex RayMarch 11, 2013
Still nothing beats the cellophane noodles and shaking beef... A must have. Also if your into wine try the petite arvine from the institut agricole regional, one of the only places in the nation!
Marcia Baroni SmithSeptember 24, 2014
Worth your while for food, ambience, great view. I ordered the imperial roll, shrimps and celophane noodles and was positively surprised. Would come back no doubt!
Kendra HanesJuly 6, 2013
If you do not have a reservation ... you can usually get in for lunch. If you'd like a dinner reservation make it in advance, the sunset view and delicious food are too amazing to miss.
Daisy ZookFebruary 26, 2016
Food was excellent. We had the branzino, shaking beef and noodles with crab and cauliflower. Also has the crispy rolls and slanted door spring rolls. Preferred the crispy rolls.
Adrian PhillipsJanuary 22, 2016
Papaya salad plus the spicy squid make for a great business lunch. Grab an iced tea, it's infused with lychee and they'll refill it as long as your thirsty.
AbhishekSeptember 1, 2014
Organic chicken clay-pot was yum! Difficult to get seating, so make reservations well in advance (it's popular!), but you may find a spot at the bar.
Lucie ClarkAugust 9, 2018
Fab food, great views of the bay and good wine list. Quite pricey - as with the rest of SF - but we still enjoyed it. Scallops were delicious!
Omer ZachDecember 10, 2015
The cellophane noodles, loaded with Dungeness crab, are insanely great.
Spencer SchoebenSeptember 18, 2011
It's hard to get reservations here. But it's worth it. Everything is amazing. Service is really fast. Food is incredibly fresh. I love vietnamese food.
Anna DakhundaridzeJanuary 12, 2014
It is an outstanding restaurant with unordinary wine list. Normal food with Vietnamese culture... Amazing. No coca cola in the menu👍👍👍 a little bit crowdy. We had to wait for a table.
Sara TaylorJanuary 25, 2018
Green papaya salad, cellophane noodles with crab, warm olive oil almond cake. All amazing! Have a glass of Riesling as well.
Phil OhmeJuly 24, 2018
Been here 5+ times
Can’t go wrong with the Shaking Beef. Best on Earth! But the Chicken Claypot is also amazing.
BravoDecember 2, 2010
Quite possibly my favorite restaurant in the country. Humble family recipes from Vietnamese Chef Charles Phan, made exceptional with locally-sourced ingredients, all overlooking the San Francisco Bay.
Chris H.April 23, 2016
Was not disappointed taking people's advice with the Shaking Beef and the dumplings - both were amazing. And the cotton candy is a fun sharable desert.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014
Charles Phan’s restaurant is still one of our SF staples - can’t skip it when we’re in town, even if we only have room for the raw bar and an order of their ridiculous Wood Oven Roasted Clams.
Randy HigaMarch 11, 2017
Highly recommend Slanted Door to anyone visiting San Francisco. Great food, atmosphere and service. 👍
José Javier GonzálezNovember 13, 2017
Great ambience and liquor selections. Got the cod fish spring roll and was very good!
Joseph LegastoMay 25, 2018
Shitake Mushrooms and Wild Gulf Shrimp is really great. The ambiance and view is also suitable for chilling out with wine.
Melissa BibbsJune 6, 2017
The spring rolls, cellophane noodles, and lemon grass tofu made for an excellent lunch for two. Paired great with a glass of red wine
Tye ChaitAugust 23, 2014
Amazing food and service. Chicken claypot and shaking beef are my favorites. Try the lychee cotton candy!
Deborah LaksNovember 7, 2015
Healthy, fresh, very tasty! Get the crispy imperial rolls, make a burrito with the lettuce, noodles, and mint. Fun and sooo yummy!
John HaberlandJuly 21, 2013
Make reservations weeks in advance if you want any hope of getting a table. Otherwise, show up 15-30 minutes before they open and they take walk-ins then. And yes it is well worth the hassle.
Erik BeerepootMarch 24, 2017
Fantastic view, excellent food and great service. Get the confit duck leg salad 👌🏽
Damian BayonaOctober 19, 2016
Great views, cool vibes and delicious food. Recommend the stir fried chicken, estancia beef and Berkshire pork chop 👌🏻
