That is true of many of the notable Vietnamese restaurants, like PPQ Dungeness, Bodega Bistro, even The Slanted Door itself.

I’ve been reading some of the older topics on Slanted Door. Not meaning to offend anyone or anything, but I have reservations for lunch this Friday. I don’t really care if it’s authentic whatever cuisine nor do...

Going to be up in SF for a b-day dinner soon and wanted to see if I could get any feedback on pluses/minuses of Ame vs. Slanted Door. Always appreciate the help of fellow Chowhounders.

I’ve never regarded Charlie Phan as the Vietnamese Thomas Keller, but I’ve always enjoyed my meals at The Slanted Door. I was there Saturday evening in a party of four and we tried: crispy imperial rolls with shrimp,...

I’m going to be going to The Slanted Door for a meeting.I’m curious what to get there. Oh, and how is their pho from the takeout line? Because I’d really like to drop in and try some sometime.

I went to the Slanted Door this week for the first time. I had three dishes — veg spring rolls, clay pot chicken, and filet beef cubes with red onion. The food was all good, but it was not far beyond what i would expect...

On this board there is a love/hate thing going on with Slanted Door. I enjoy it for what it is; The House is a very different experience — neighborhood spot vs. a destination...both have much better than average food.

According to an article in the SF Business Times, Slanted Door has signed a lease for 8,000 sqf at the Ferry Terminal. The new space should open between Dec-Feb. The old Mission location will eventually reopen as a Vietnamese...

I’ll second the Slanted Door. Was there in August (Live in Boston, so I can’t get there on a regular basis) found the fish very fresh. Some great flavors and good service. But definitely get a reservation.

All these responses to my House posting have made me think twice about going to the Slanted Door. I have a friend visiting from out of town next week and I want to take him somewhere special. It also happens to be my birthday...

Even with the mixed reviews on this board, Slanted Door was always one of those places we wanted to try but could never get in. We’ve never planned ahead enough to get a reservation when we tried and it was always jammed...

Should you wish to make your way to Slanted Door, please be advised that reservations are notoriously hard to come by. For instance, it’s frequently on Open Table’s top reservations list... and almost always is booked...

Very good review. Well-worded and detailed. Thank you. I might add that the Slanted Door is under the direction of Executive Chef Charles Phan. The restaurant is located in the northeast corner of the restored Ferry Building...

It’s always been busy — today I got the following: “The number you dialed has been disconnected or is no longer in service.” This is number posted on both SD’s own website and Citysearch. (And yes, I...
