Ted KimAugust 4, 2014One crab per person + garlic noodles to share should be plenty of food. But the roasted banana cake is also delicious if you have room.
- Channelle M.I A BrownJanuary 30, 2015Pear Martini, Drunken Crab, mussels, garlic noodles, sea bass fish, garlic bread all on point!!! Make reservations just in case!
Mark BDecember 28, 2011Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty. Roast crab and garlic noodles (or rice) are a great combo. Getting a reservation is great but walk ins can kill time at the bar. Valet to save time.
LeVan GreeneMarch 8, 2020The best garlic crab, noodles and the service is excellent. Highly recommend
Merry AnwarDecember 22, 2014The Roasted Crab amd garlic noodle is a must. I never miss to have dinner here when I am in town.
Caroline GordonJuly 2, 2015Wow! Don't the modest exterior fool you, inside its buzzing and the meal is fantastic. Get the mussels, garlic noodles and ginger calamari.
Tomas Jr PollosoMay 18, 2016Everything tastes great. I especially love the whole roasted crab, garlic noodles, the mussels and the calamari. I highly recommend it.
Alice FerrisSeptember 19, 2015Try the Roasted Crab - Totally worth the detour from the usual neighborhoods in San Francisco. Yummers. (via @Foodspotting)
WhiskeyAvengerJune 13, 2018This is one of San Francisco’s iconic restaurants. The whole crab is outstanding as is the service and ambiance.
Jenny UngSeptember 23, 2016The Bo Luc Lac was really good. However, a bit disappointed with the Dungeness crab. Had the salt/pepper, & garlic/butter, both crab meat overcooked & lacked flavor, $$$$. Best to go with PPQ or R&D.
Bev SykesApril 23, 2012Crab was amazing. We got garlic rice, on the advice of the people at the next table. It was fabulous, but I wish I had known about the garlic noodles.
CarolDecember 22, 2017They used to serve the best garlic noodles, but they downsized it and it is not as good. The roasted crab is still ok. Super crowded and very very noisy.
Jonathan VuMay 17, 2010Tip from a employee of 6 yrs- must haves: tl mussels, salmon carpaccio, crab puffs, roast crab, garlic noodles, and lychee vodka infusion cocktail.
- Cheryl GohMarch 12, 2010Definately the best Dungeness crabs in SF. Try their roasted crabs, garlic noodles and banana fritters. If you are adventurous, skip the cab and take the Muni which stops in front of the restaurant Read more
Brianna ScheffMay 26, 2013A must try!! Garlic noodles & roasted crab. All you need for your next favorite meal.
Karina LJune 26, 2013Get the roast crab and garlic noodles. One of the best crab dishes I've ever had!
- Bev SykesApril 23, 2012The baked garlic crab is fabulous. We had garlic rice. I wish I had ordered the garlic noodles.
- Allan ChenDecember 18, 2013if you have a large group... order the tiger prawn/garlic noodles as an appetizer... it will be a crowd pleaser.
Carlos FigueiredoDecember 31, 2010Without a doubt one is the best meals in town. The crab and garlic noodles are musts but order the shaken beef too!
Dee AnguloNovember 11, 2010I LOVE the garlic noodles & I HATE garlic!! Their Crab & Cream Cheese Rangoons are delicious as well as the White Asparagus soup.
- Hong Van TranAugust 1, 2013So freaking good!! Soft shell crab, garlic noodles and roast crab! NOM NOM NOM!
- Victor BJune 13, 2011Garlic noodles overrated. Crab kinda overpriced (not a season). You must try stuffed calamari !!! Best dish definitely !
Gerald HallAugust 21, 2010Get the roasted crab. If you feel they're rushing your meal to get you out, you're probably right.
Tamara HoustonOctober 23, 2011My all-time favorite restaurant!!! Order the garlic crab and a Jordon Chard
Lisa EMarch 17, 2015Whole roasted Dungeness crabs and garlic noodles. That's it. Don't even bother looking at a menu.

"My favorite Vietnamese dive. No ambiance, not terribly clean, but it's always crowded and the food is top class. Amazing beef soups (Menu items 1 -10 recommended), best fresh spring rolls anywhere."
