Thanh Long Restaurant

A 10 year Anniversay Celebration here was absolutely 10/10. I highly recommend the crab and garlic noodles, and if you still want more in the photos are some other great choices. I couldn't get enough of my waitress smile everytime she checked on us. I love coming back to my city where I was born and raised for good food. Dessert was chefs kiss... fried banana and ice cream. Yum yum good!

Food is good, especially the garlic noodles and mussels. Crabs are good too but super pricey. We ordered four dishes including two crabs and it came out to $300+ USD. The crabs were labelled 'market price', and since the price of the other dishes was like $20 something, that means the crab was like $100? Overall food is good but expect to pay a lot.

Great as always. Went on a Saturday night.. Party of 3 + a newborn. Called around 6, and they weren't taking walk-ins anymore... Went on open table and booked a reservation for 8:30 lol Got there early, which wasn't a problem. Drank 2 beers at the bar while we waited. We actually ended up getting sat about 30 ahead of schedule 🤞🏽 Got seated upstairs, which was a first for us. For some reason the vibe is a lot more laid back up there I feel? Could just be me, not sure, but it was more my vibe for sure. We ended up getting a couple items that the entire table shared. Shaken beef, wok egg noodles + shrimp, bowl of white rice, as well as the roasted crab. Everything on point, everything delish. Ended uo spending around $230 I want to say, with tip included.

We had been here so many time prior and I love it everytime we’re in the area. The foods quality and freshness are generally consistent throughly the yrs but once in awhile, it just off, we had that couple time. Also just my pov, it is abit declined since the beginning. But they are still delish and got to have it at least one year. Services are the same, mostly great but one in a full moons just the opposite. Overall still an institutional place or landmark for SF and the Vietnamese community for sure. I tried to sit sibling places in SF doentown, BH and South coat plaza and even with the mother cooked in BH, somehow this place still carries the original and most flavorful crab ever.

We visited Thanh Long on Judah Street in San Francisco during our Dec 2024 Travel, excited to try their famous Vietnamese seafood. While the experience had its highlights, there were a few things that could have been better. * Shrimp Toast: This appetizer was just okay. It was on the dry side and lacked the richness we were expecting. * Roast Crab: The crab itself was excellent--fresh and cooked perfectly. However, the heavy use of butter slightly overwhelmed the flavors. * Colossal Royal Tiger Prawns: The prawns were juicy and flavorful, but again, there was an overabundance of butter, which detracted from the natural taste of the seafood. * Fried Rice Combo (Shrimp and Chicken): Unfortunately, this was the weakest dish of the night. The rice was over-charred, which left a bitter taste, a
