Price Range: $$$
I've been to the Slanted 3 times now and the 1st time, I went for a special occasion Dinner. We thought that the food was pretty good for Vietnamese, because of its use of high quality Meats and the Like, but it was a little hard to justify spending so much for a Vietnamese Dinner (not that hard really, but you get my drift right?). Although I love Vietnamese Food, the Hole-in-the wall Family-style Establishments like, Yummy Yummy in the Inner Sunset & Vietnam on Broadway, have always been my preference..
For my 2nd time there, I hosted a work Luncheon there, where there was a Prix Fixe Family Style Menu. We were sat in the glass-enclosed private room in the back. I have to say that the Service was on point and the servers waited for me to eye-signal whatever was needed, whether it was the timing of the Courses or if I noticed that someone needed a Drink. They were really great and made me look really good in front of my bosses & associates, which is cool...
The Food was the perfect amount for 14 people and everyone was very impressed...
My 3rd time there was when my coworker & I decided to just meet there for Lunch without a res. It was really busy, so we opted to share a Series of Small Plates at the Bar...
We started with Yummy Oysters & Wonton Soup, which were Quite Good... We also had the Shrimp & Pork Spring Rolls, which were noticably better as far as Quality of Meats and Freshness of the Veggies, besides which the Sauce really made it...
Next we had the Hamachi Sashimi which was my favorite part, because it consisted of big Buttery slices of Hamachi Sashimi which were topped with Crispy Garlic Bits, a Fine Chiffonade of Basil and a Yuzu Vinaigrette.. WOW! That was Seriously Delish... A Must-Try whenever I go there...
Our Main was the Shaking Beef with White Rice which I have had all 3 times and it was consistently well-prepared with the Niman Ranch Filet of Beef and the Tangy Pepper Sauce it comes with... Order it.
All in all, this Place is really great. And hey, if anything, although it can be loud, it's a beautiful space in the Ferry Building looking out at the Bay. If you haven't been, you should go.
