The snap and sizzle of turmeric-stained fish on tabletop grills greets you the moment you walk into this bustling Vietnamese restaurant. The chả cá is the move: thick fillets over dill and scallions, smoky from the grill, served with rice paper and fixings for a roll-your-own situation at the table. The San Francisco Chronicle named it among the Bay Area's top Vietnamese spots, and the room full of families who never need a menu makes the case quietly but firmly.

Turmeric fish feast
“Of all the reasons to visit Thiên Long, the turmeric fish feast topped with peanuts gets top billing.”

Bánh bột chiên trứng
“Thiên Long also serves a few dishes that are rarities in Bay Area Vietnamese restaurants, like the bánh bột chiên trứng ($11.25), a grid of rice cakes seared until crunchy and fluffy on the inside, and then encased in a sheet of fried egg.”
