   As always Slanted door was amazing. everything we ordered was perfect and we even tried a few new things. Not a bad item on the menu. So glad it is at an easy place to get to right off the freeway. Total must for any foodie

   Revisit after few years. Recall last visit was okay overall. Recent visit reflected quality and tasty food and reminded us why we enjoyed dining at Slanted Door in SF and now at San Ramon.

   No guidance on how much to order - all courses are shared plates - and what items are best. Waitress only takes your order and never checks back with you - food is brought by others. They tacked on a mandatory 20% gratuity for just the 3 of us. Decor feels like a cafeteria. Would never go back!!

   Had a dinner reservation and also took advantage of their happy hour for drinks and an app beforehand. Happy hour was a good value, the food was tasty, and the service was solid.

   Went for the first time on a Friday. We had the roasted oysters, bahn nam, and roasted duck. All were very good. Waiter gave great service and drinks and food came out in a timely manner. It is pricey, but the food was unique and well prepared. We will go back to explore the menu more.

    Our group of 5 had reservations at 5 pm on Saturday before Mothers’s Day. Upon arrival, the restaurant was about 30% full. We asked to sit outside (many empty tables) but were told that was all reserved. Then they started to lead us to the bar area. I said we didn’t want to eat in the bar. They said they were fully booked and only had the bar. We declined to sit in the bar and eventually were given a regular table but we were told we had to leave by 6:30. We felt like 2nd class citizens, which after a $600 bill was very disappointing. When we left at 6:30, many many tables were still empty. I will choose other options when entertaining friends from out of town. PS: The waitress was delightful. The gentleman host was borderline rude.

    For fancy Vietnamese food it taste good. But for the price and portion size I’d rather just go to a regular Vietnamese restaurant

    s For the price of the dishes we expected a much more interesting experience. The restaurant positioned itself as an upscale Vietnamese restaurant, however unfortunately, other than the price it didn't' feel upscale and the food lost most of it Vietnamese connection. The good things: The service was relatively fast and the stuff was quick to bring the food and to clean up dishes. The place was clean. We made reservations, came on time and didn't' have to wait. We came to celebrate our anniversary, so at the end we were given a glass of Champaign. They also noticed that i wasn't drinking alcohol so they took the liberty to bring me non alcoholic sparkling beverage. It was a very nice touch. The not so good things: We don't eat pork for religion considerations and we explained to the waiter. So i ordered a dish asking to remove the port (spring rall and fried roll), yet when i tired the fried roll I found to my absolute dismay that there was pork. When i pointed it out to the waitress, she said she will take it back. In a very casual way as if i returned a dish that i didn't like because of my whimsical. I'd expect a much more concerned and apologetic reaction. As i was pretty distressed with the fact that I ate pork. Prices- the prices are on the higher end, though while not bad, the dishes were lacking originality and were having strong fish sauce and sweet tastes. I traveled in Vietnam for a month eating in low and high end restaurants and this place can do better. To sum it up, I think that if i'd like to get Vietanmeese food , i'd probably go to a local lower scale place. If i'd like an upscale expereince, i'd go to a different upscale place. This one , while not bad, was kind of a miss on both of these fronts.

    Apparently they started to add 20% service charge automatically to the bill, but they don’t bother telling you when they bring your bill or when they return with the credit card auth slip, so if you’re not paying attention, you end up double tipping. We didn’t notice until we got home and thought the total was unusually high.

    I’ve been a fan of this restaurant since my small wedding reception lunch at the Ferry Building location. I recommend The Slanted Door for a friends/ family gathering but think it is too loud for an intimate gathering. The kids menu is limited. It is a pricy restaurant but the food is 100% worth it.

    I’ve always loved Slanted Door and have been going to this restaurant since it was in the Mission in SF We all agreed the food was delicious. Delivering on expectations in new dishes we tried and the signature items. We were disappointed in the service. The restaurant was not close to full capacity and several tables around us were not seated. We waited at least 15 minutes for 2 signature cocktails and then again when we re-ordered another round of 3 drinks - I cocktail and 2 pours of wine- we had been served our dinner and waiting for a while for them to arrive. They had been made sitting at the bar. Worst part is - they added 20% service for 3 people. I didn’t think this was standard. The servers also didn’t tell us it was already on the bill. Most place, when it’s added, especially when it’s not customary for 3 people - the server would tell us. I thought it was deceptive as I went to add tip and luckily one of us noticed it was already included. Shame on them - this is a very reputable restaurant and this left very poor experience with the server. She wasn’t great and potentially because they have police of charging 20% on their high end pricing.

    Food was good, if pricey. Very noisy . One entree came out very late. What was not acceptable was that a glass of red wine came out with lots of dregs in the glass. That happens, but when pointed out to the waiter it just received a shrug, and no credit on the bill. For the money this wasn’t good.

    Food great, service good, don't really like the way they figure out your Bill 💵 !! They put a automatic 20% percent gratuity even if there’s two people, which is OK that’s what I tip anyway, just not having the choice I didn’t agree with, and the way they do it it’s questionable!! they add it on the food line and then total your Bill! So your paying tax on your own TIP!!! I have never seen that before!
