Out The Door Review - Pacific Heights - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Too many restaurants in San Francisco have all the energy of intermission at a Josh Groban concert. OTD is a different story. It feels kind of like walking into the opening “Out to Dinner” montage of The Hills meets The City, by which we mean there are attractive people in the room who look like they’re having a great time. But we’re in San Francisco, so everyone’s still wearing flats and wrapping up dinner by 9:45 at the latest. The upscale Vietnamese food is consistent, and all the dishes are made for sharing – great for a Marina Girl birthday or a date (snag the bar seats overlooking the kitchen if you can). Out The Door is an offshoot of The Slanted Door, and like its older sibling, the menu could use a little freshening up. But it’s still a fun time. More fun than Josh Groban, if you can believe it." - Taylor Abrams

"This is the Slanted Door's more casual but equally delicious offshoot. At this location, take-out is the only option. In Pacific Heights, you can actually sidle up to a communal table or counter for an excellent lunch of Asian-inflected small plates or a weekend brunch (the 5-spice scramble is pretty special). None of the dishes feel too heavy and all go really well with a glass of house wine."

Out The Door Review - Embarcadero - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"This spot is owned by the same people as The Slanted Door, and while there’s a full-service Out The Door across town, this one is much more of a grab-and-go scenario, with things like spring rolls, noodles, and pork buns. If you work near the Ferry Building, this is a good spot to come for lunch." - Will Kamensky

I love dim sum in general, so I was excited to see this option at the Ferry Building for a very quick and satisfying lunch. I ordered the sticky rice with meat, which is maybe three times the size of one bundle you'd get at a Chinese restaurant, although ordering at a restaurant would be much cheaper. The prices here are what you would expect for the Ferry Building, but the sticky rice itself was tasty enough with a little sauce thrown on. The pork bun was decent, certainly not the best I've had. Overall this is a decent option for a quick meal.

Their meat sticky rice in banana leaf ($9) is bombdiggity! Very filling and great value compared to their other items on the menu. One item that is definitely not of great value is their hot Vietnamese coffee ($3.75). Small and tastes like a very sweet regular latte. Would come back for the sticky rice!

Overpriced Vietnamese food for sure - I paid $18 for their daily LUNCH lemongrass chicken rice special. Don't get me wrong, it was tasty, flavorful, and fresh and I understand the rent must be crazy high to run a business at the market building. But at least include a little something, like a small salad or app to make it feel more valuable. The ingredients itself doesn't cost much and could be prepped in advance. Either way, the people were nice and it seemed like they had a great teamwork system going on. Hope they reconsider their menu pricing for returning customers!

As far as Vietnamese takeout is concerned, they have great food and a solid menu. Their Ferry Building location is pretty ideal if you’re walking along the bay piers, or work downtown, and they have some standing tables inside which is always nice. Their steamed buns are good, and larger than I’d expected, but they could’ve used a bit more filling. The flavoring was excellent though. And their Daikon Rice Cakes were surprisingly good, with a really complex flavoring and excellent texture.

Ordered a chicken sandwich. Was satisfied with the taste, ingredients, and flavors. Wish it wasn't so pricey. ☹️ Would order again if I was craving a banh mi at the Ferry Building.

Craving for steam buns in SF? This is the place to go. I usually order their chicken and pork steam bun and I love the freshness and the flavor, they also have veggie steam bun too.

The food was very yummy! We tried the vegetarian steamed buns, the vegetarian crispy imperial rolls, and the lemongrass tofu rice. Next time I’d ask for extra sauce to eat with the steamed buns. The service was fast and we found a place to sit outside. Overall I highly recommend.

star down for pricey, but great place. got a pork and noodles. Usually vietnamese skimp on the meat, but this place offered a good portion of tasty pork. the noodles were well cooked. good noodle bowl for sure, nice little meal, i actually felt the meat to noodle ratio was fair for once. fresh too, even the fish sauce was good. i asked them for no mint and no peanut and they complied. Good stuff
