This was recommended by a good friend and it did not disappoint. The roasted crab and garlic noodles with prawns were amazing. Paid USD300 for this meal for 3 people. Sulit!

Ask for the special home crab prepared with garlic en black pepper and a few secret spices more. Best ever!Not cheap but worth it!

It was worth the wait and the hype. I took my SIL's advice and ordered my own garlic noodles. She's right, they're so addicting. It was quite a bit for me, but it was worth every bite.We ordered garlic noodles and the roasted crab, shrimp toast, calamari, and mango salad. The mango salad was an interesting mix of different flavors. Not sure if I would order it again. But the shrimp toast and calamari were very tasty.The garlic noodles were seriously delicious. I do, however, wish the noodles were a little more Al dente. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of garlic in there just by looking at them, but when you eat them -- they're there.The roast crab was incredible! There's so much flavor, even in the crab, and there's so much butter, garlic, and pepper on the plate for you to dip it in should you want to add more flavor.They say you should get your own crab, but it really depends on your appetite. I had to share, so I'm glad we just got one.There's only street parking, and not really a lot of it. We parked 3 long blocks away, but it was worth every step.Just and FYI... There is an 18% service fee added to your check at the end of the night and the suggest gratuity is calculated with the service fee.

All the hype for nothing. The roasted crab and garlic noodles are so oily we felt like eating a bowl of butter with crab flavor. This is a marketing scam. We are ashamed of dining here.

BEST crab in California! Even the sister restaurants don't compete- Thanh Long's is the best.This is not just a hype. You NEED to come here if you love crab.We are regulars (10+ years) so we are here often and recommend you must have/try:Roast Crab (everyone needs to have it once in their life)drunken crab (Boo likes this one)Garlic noodlesCalamariLava cake (my new favorite and I don't normally like lava cake)Creme bruleeIt's kinda expensive but worth every penny! If you have to share an order just order the roast crab and garlic noodles and you will have endless satisfaction.

OMG so delicious! Fresh crab, very good seasoning.This is my 3rd time coming here. Every time I go to san fransisco I always take the time to come here.I ordered 2 Roast crab for 2ppl (HAHAHA its crazy one crab for one person cause its so nyumm) and garlic noodles.Crab and garlic noodle such a perfect combination!When I came, I sat outside because there was no prior reservation and the queue was long if sitting inside. It turns out that sitting outside is very comfortable, there is a heater too.The service was very good, the employee came to us asking if there was anything else he could help with, very helpful.But there is only one male restroom, and my boyfriend said the queue for the toilet was quite long.

The restaurant is located in the outer sunset. The food was good and service was on point. We had reservations and we had the garlic crab and garlic noodles. To start we had chicken satay. The crab was delicious and we both had our own to eat. It’s a bit pricey for crab but be prepared to treat yourself to a good meal. I gave it 4 stars as I felt it was missing something and I think I wanted more.

We passed by on Christmas night and saw it was packed so we checked it out. There were some newspaper article about their crabs so we yelped the spot. They are known for their mouthwatering and signature dishes involved mostly fresh seafood from the San Francisco Bay.5/5 Roasted crab ($78) : The Dungeness crab was drenched in some butter garlic and black pepper sauce. It was very scrumptious and a must try! Crab meat was sweet and the shell was easy to pry apart without a crab cracker.4/5 Garlic noodles ($13.50) : The noodles had a less garlicky than what it smelled like. We were expecting a strong garlic flavor. It was not bad after we drenched the noodles into the sauce that remained from the roasted crab.They charged an additional 10% charge for takeout. The total was a couple cents off $115. I would recommend to splurge at this spot and get the crab.

At first restaurant follow the protocol after showed vaccination.We order crab and garlic noodle and fired calamari. Crab taste awesome even though a bit expensive compare market price, garlic noodles is tasty but calamari is not good, calamari is small and too dry not fresh, too much onion.

I don’t need to explain what’s going on here… legendary restaurant out near the beach. Garlic noodles, shrimp, etc. great spot for a nice and casual mealDishes:Mussel toastCoconut shrimpGet a crab and garlic noodles, enjoy.
