    We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious food and attentive service while dining on the patio with our dog. I had a hard time sipping my cocktail because it was so tasty, and the others thoroughly enjoyed their beers. This is my go=to restaurant when visiting San Ramon, and I'm so happy they are there since it is difficult to get into the SF location. The staff are always welcoming, efficient and friendly. Our server even asked if she could bring our dog some water. The Slanted Door never fails to deliver elevated Vietnamese fare, and I can tell you that you won't be disappointed.

    I go to Slanted Door for the outstanding food: prepared perfectly; lovely plating; incredibly delicious; very fresh; and perfect sizing. As with any large restaurant, some servers are great and some are just so-so; some are very attentive and some you need to flag-down for help. As far as ambience goes, it is just a very large modern space, very clean, but very uninspiring. BUT, the food is simply amazing and worth every penny.

    Made reservations for an anniversary dinner. While making the reservation, I noted the occasion was for an anniversary. Wish the staff had acknowledged the occasion. No well wishes, no dessert. Most places would at minimum acknowledge the occasion. Some places would even give a little cake. As for the food, it was delicious but overpriced. Purchased the shaking beef ($52) and the caramelized shrimp ($34) entrees. Overall, I wouldn’t come back. I could simply go to any Vietnamese hole-in-the-wall establishment for the same food quality but far less pricey.

    Its located in a large shopping center. The restaurant's name is inconspicuously stenciled on the glass door. Walked around for 20 minutes trying to find the location. I noticed other businesses in the center had external signage, which made it easy to see. Food was good. Service was slow (busy). The waiter told us there was a 20% service charge added to the total "for kitchen staff". Not sure if this was the service tip? If no, 35-40% service charge? There was another line on the charge slip labeled "additional tip". If necessary, the restaurant should increase their prices to cover the kitchen staff. Tipping and the amount should be the customer's decision.

    Really loved all the dishes, especially the roasted chicken and pork chop as mains, and the Brentwood corn was so sweet and cooked to perfection. It complemented our mains. Portions felt large enough for 3, plus leftovers. Drove from SF to San Ramon to dine here. Definitely worth the trip!

    We have been going to Slanted Door for years. Yesterday we went to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Bobby is an outstanding host. Always smiling and welcoming. He remembers us, always finds a good table, and just pleasant all around. Yesterday, our waitress was Summer. Even though the service was a bit slow in the beginning, she was excellent - she got us a couple of appetizers courtesy of the chef, and then candle/cake from my daughter at the end. All the while she was smiling and helpful. The food - we love. Vegetarian rolls, noodles, tofu are excellent. The cocktails are well made. My wife rarely orders cocktails, but here she always get the Paloma, I get the Whiskey cocktail - both are excellent We look forward to going back

    Food was very good but horrible service. The manager the door refused to make eye contact with us, shuffling menus. We ended up sitting for about 45 minutes with nothing but water - they didn’t bring cocktails or appetizers. They eventually sat another table adjacent to us and I guess remembered we were there. We got our drinks but no food for another half an hour. The table next to us was brought food before us (even many were the same dishes we ordered). The waiter and manager never acknowledged the wait or delay. I guess when you automatically add the 20% service charge to everyone you think you can stop caring.

    I felt very indifferent about this restaurant because the food and cocktails were very good and even the waiters we did see were so incredibly nice and bubbly. HOWEVER, we were there for over 2 hours because the the drinks and food took so long. It even took so long we had to cancel our last dish but they even forgot about the dish all together. They would bring out one dish every 20 minutes. For second round of drinks it took 40 minutes. I would only come back for take out.

    When a restaurant is charging $52 for beef stir fry main dishes - the level of service should meet that high price point. Our server was super quiet, zero personality and would often walk off while I was still talking. Not surprising there was a built in 20% tip for a table of 4. She didn't have to add any extra service to get her tip and it showed. I will not be going back or recommending to others. The City Center has WAY better Asian options at more digestible prices - with likely FAR superior service.

    Dinner with Charles Phan was more marketing than substance. Courses were good, I enjoy the regular menu more. The staff is always welcoming and amazing. This event was about the chef. Chef was visible but only spoke to 3 tables in the 2 hours we were there (associate family and friends). He did not speak to or address the common folk. That was disappointing.

    As always service was impeccable. Special dinner menu was exceptional. Only minor issue was dessert which seemed too light (roasted peaches w sauce, would have preferred a slightly heavier end like a miso cake or something). Kudos to the serving staff, Felix and Darren, and Bobby at the front of the house. Cheers!

    Expected better service when they automatically will put 20% as the tip and how they present themselves as a restaurant experience. The food was great but pricey; however if the service could have been as good as the support staff, I wouldn’t write like this. No greeting on entering or will be with you as we stood. It was not busy. In a way sterile due to not many customers. And when we sat outside, again we sat for awhile till someone came. Then we decided do the whole ordering while we can. They make the best black cod but they could take to the level of the cost with better service. Literally the support staff was more charming. Great food and place to sit outside vut the rest did not make it memorable. Especially when I made the reservation as my son’s birthday- nothing. Bummer

    Wow! What happened here? I've been a Slanted Door customer since I lived in the Mission MANY years ago and was a frequent diner when they first opened their doors. Fast forward many years and locations (I've been to all of them), I visited the San Ramon restaurant for the first time. The menu is very familiar and has most of the old favorites, but jeesh is it expensive. The food quality, while still good, is nowhere near the quality while in SF. It's so ridiculously overpriced now for a mall restaurant, that was 3/4 empty at 6:30 on a Saturday night. We sat at the bar and the service was great, but there is no way we'll return given the good, not great, food and crazy prices.
