Thanh Long
Vietnamese
Dungeness crab in a bib is the great equalizer, and Thanh Long has been proving that since before most of its regulars were born. This Outer Sunset Vietnamese restaurant built its reputation on roast crab drowned in butter and garlic, served with noodles that are non-negotiably part of the order. The garlic situation borders on theatrical, which is exactly the point. An old-school institution that still packs the room on any given night.

Drunken crab
“The drunken crab, long-simmered in Chardonnay, brandy, sake, and blasted with cracked black pepper, is as intelligent a way to drop $80 on a singular, gustatory star treatment as they come.”
Eater -
Garlic noodles
“an order of the famous garlic noodles for $14.95 is a proper indulgence”
Eater -
Seafood dumplings
“the $13.25 seafood dumplings”
Eater -
Roast crab
“The most popular preparation, for good reason, is the roast crab soaked in an alarming amount of butter and aggressively seasoned with garlic and black pepper.”
