Thanh Long Restaurant

The 15 Most Fun Dinner Spots In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"At Thanh Long, the 50-year-old institution in the Sunset, you’ll spend a memorable night with a whole roast crab. Crack open the pepper-coated legs, dig out the perfectly cooked meat, and drizzle it with even more butter before licking it all off with your fingers. Of course, you’ll want to complete your dinner with a pile of Genius Grant-worthy garlic noodles—the buttery, umami-packed dish is still made in a top-secret kitchen within the main kitchen. This Vietnamese restaurant has been going strong for decades, and will probably still be when self-driving cars take over." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong
