The 5 Best Vietnamese Restaurants in San Francisco

"Celebrated chef Charles Phan’s modern Vietnamese restaurant in the Ferry Terminal Building, complete with breathtaking views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Reservations are a challenge at this modern stunner with a killer view of the Bay Bridge. The Slanted Door has managed to stay atop tourists’ hit lists even as its Northern Californian spin on Vietnamese food has steadily become less inspired. A variety of rolls are on offer, like the house Slanted Door filled with Gulf shrimp, pork and mint, and the pan-seared rock cod with scallion and shiso. Meats include grilled grass-fed Anderson Ranch lamb rack with pomegranate seeds, frisée and fried shallots and grilled Five Dot Ranch rib eye steak with grilled chicories, crispy sunchokes and lemon-ginger vinaigrette. Wine lovers will take note of the $35 corkage fee." - The MICHELIN Guide
