Great food and amazing fast service even during very busy periods. Very pricey and definitely not anywhere near Vietnamese but absolutely delicious.
Erik BeerepootMarch 24, 2017
Fantastic view, excellent food and great service. Get the confit duck leg salad 👌🏽

If 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!

Charles Phan broke the mold for modern Vietnamese food when he opened the original, and the current incarnation remains the standard-bearer of ingredient-driven Asian cuisine. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Great 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.
Damian BayonaOctober 19, 2016
Great views, cool vibes and delicious food. Recommend the stir fried chicken, estancia beef and Berkshire pork chop 👌🏻
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!

We 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

Fabulous vegetarian. Good. Generous portions. Friendly service. Amazing views.
Christy LandesAugust 13, 2014
The best food I've had in San Francisco, period. Family style adds something interesting. Extremely creative dishes. Great service!

Amazing 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.
Heléne BjörkmanJuly 22, 2015
I absolutely love this place. Especially sitting by the bar and enjoying a diversity of dishes and excellent sea food
Steven RosenblattJuly 28, 2017
Everything is great including spring rolls, ribs, steak
Nick FruendtOctober 1, 2014
Delicious food, great cocktails, nice view, this place has it all! Next time I go I want to try the cotton candy.
MelissaMay 26, 2013
Overall, awesome restaurant. Must go in when in SF. Spring rolls, chicken in clay pot, and cellophane noodles are all excellent.
PILAR PRENDESApril 16, 2015
Bergamot port cubbler! Pork ribs! Jazmine rice ! And cheesecake! Absolutely delicious!!!!!
Ceren Doganay-KaracaMarch 13, 2016
Had the papaya salad and SD spring rolls, both light and yum! Good Moscow mule
ShelbyAugust 1, 2012
Ate 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.
William ScanlanDecember 30, 2012
Always a great meal!! Sit at the bar and have Ricardo or Miguel take care of you!!! Nice nice guys who make a mean cocktail.
Lauren PresserMarch 20, 2013
DELICIOUS! 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.
BravoDecember 2, 2010
One 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
Ricky SherrillDecember 7, 2014
The noodles, "shaking beef", and the sticky rice with sweet potatoes are a great. You must try this place.
Sarah BayNovember 22, 2014
Friendly 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.
Caroline FaureAugust 10, 2014
Cellophane noodles with Dungeness crab are a must!! Pork ribs in hoisin sauce are good to share as an appetizer
Wilson Favre-DelerueApril 12, 2016
Vietnamese dishes with a touch of American modernity. Certainly good but doesn't match the authenticity of Vietnam's stalls, markets and eateries.
Tablet HotelsFebruary 26, 2013
The delicious fusion-Vietnamese cuisine is outdone only by the stunning Bay Bridge views. Try the Manila clams or beef carpaccio
Mital JoshiApril 8, 2013
Fabulous staff, food and wine! If you're planning on coming here, book in advance. This place gets booked up pretty quick!
Dalton DMarch 3, 2013
Cellophane noodles, shrimp spring rolls, oysters and cartelized prawns all rock. The spare rib was just ok compared to the rest - which was outstanding
Mark NannaJune 19, 2012
In 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".
Sandra PecisNovember 18, 2010
One 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!
Juliet CastilloDecember 6, 2015
Can't go wrong at this place. Everything is delicious. My personal fave is the Claypot Chicken.
Ashley RoseMarch 17, 2015
get there early to avoid the wait (don't worry- packed by 6). And try one of the veggie sides!
Mark AddisAugust 30, 2013
Wow...what awesome food. I could have ate a pound of the cellophane noodles. And they have absinthe on the desert drink menu!
Caroline CaswellJanuary 20, 2016
Crab noodles and spring rolls are delicious, and you can't miss with the shaking beef!
Derek KanJune 19, 2013
Good brunch spot. Cellophane Noodles w/ Dungeness Crab is great. Ask for off the menu garlic soy ribeye steak - ridiculous.
Victoria ShabanovaMarch 25, 2013
It 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.
heatJuly 19, 2013
The 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.
Amanda GradyJuly 29, 2017
Shaking beef and branzino were standouts, but everything was delicious
Tracy StumJanuary 20, 2014
Order their beignet desert if you don't go for the peppermint cotton candy!
Grace S.July 25, 2012
priority order: Clay pot chicken, Cellophane noodles, Shaken beef, Crispy imperial roll, Crispy green beans, Prawns &cocktail=ginger limeade

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!

Excellent food and service, always. It's a must stop whenever in San Francisco!
Amy BDecember 9, 2015
Reservation a must for dinner but you can squeeze in lunch. Plenty to share.
Adam FindleyMarch 27, 2015
Alton Brown recommends Gau Choy Gow, Cellophane Noodles, Spicy Monterey Squid and Chue Farm Baby Bok Choy.
Jeanne SperanzaJuly 8, 2016
I had the squid and it was really good. Nice flavors. The vodka limeade was extra good.
Rajarshi ChakrabortyMay 7, 2017
Awesome view and great food, I tried the Dungeness crab and shaked beef,out of the world
Rob ScrippNovember 13, 2013
Go to the bar and order a Singapore Sling! Best sling in SF. :) Dinner is really pricey here btw.

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.
Rick CottonDecember 24, 2013
The California yellowtail with crispy shallot and Thai basil belongs on the list of best bites in SF . . .
