    Tasty and only needed 1.

    Had a nice Mothers Day adventure here tonight. I only wanted to do a to-go order but that wasn't an option on such a busy night BUT fortunately I was able to book a last minute appt and when we entered we were sat immediately by the lovely door greeter. Since we said we would be quick she asked if the bar was ok and we agreed. There we got to see exactly what was happening in their wide open kitchen and a lot was happening! Spring rolls 10/10 best I ever had! Shrimp imperial rolls 8/10 but didn't have the chance to try as suggested as a wrap (with the lettuce and noodles) after they started bagging the food. Might need to rescore later. Asparagus is cooked with the fish sauce we were told so they gave us the vegetarian option which was delicious as well. Everything was tasty and I only took one pic. My bad. The ribs looked amazing but I didn't try. Jasmine rice standard fare. Will definitely go back.

    Cinnamon roll
    J C.

    I had a really enjoyable lunch here this afternoon--they were also serving brunch, which was a nice bonus. We ordered the crispy imperial rolls, chicken pho, and xôi mặn (a savory sticky rice dish with sliced Chinese sausage and mushrooms). Everything was flavorful and satisfying. We couldn't resist trying the cinnamon roll from the brunch menu for dessert, and it was definitely worth it. The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance made for a really pleasant dining experience. I'd happily come back again!

    Yuba and cellophane noodles

    We used to dine at the original location in the ferry building. A group of six of us went to the Slanted Door San Ramon after golfing in Livermore. Space is large and popping. Parking is easy. Our server was really knowledgeable and took our entire order without writing anything down. Pretty impressive memory. He also knew the wine list inside out. Here is what we ordered: crispy imperial rolls banana leaf wrapped rice dumpling shaking beef pork belly clay pot yuba and cellophane noodle grilled lamb chops wood roasted dry aged duck dungeness and blue crab cellophane noodles bok choy in fish sauce Each and every dish was super tasty and amazing. I wouldwould definitely recommend Slanted Door if you are in San Ramon. If only they could have opened at their new location in SF...

    $269 Valentine's Dinner for two
    Cheryl G.

    I chose this place for our Valentine's Day dinner this year. It was a huge disappointment and I will not come back here again. Parking was easy to find and the restaurant is located under the escalator. I don't mind the automatic 20% service fee but service should be expected. Our server Tavitha was weird then it got worse. We started with the spring rolls $18 which were delicious. Then it went downhill from there. Our reservations were for 5pm and it was 5:45pm until we received our first course. The restaurant wasn't completely booked and there were plenty of open tables. After an hour, the rest of our food comes out. The bbq pork ribs $28 which were awful. I told our server to let someone know these are super chewy, grisly and inedible. Tavaitha doubled down and said it was prepared "asian style" and I'm like what are you talking about? She had no clue and questioned what grisly meant. The shaking beef $58 was underwhelming. It was large steak pieces missing that infamous shaking flavor with a ton of red onion. The lime sauce made it okay to eat but it was tough. The rest of our order: bok choy $13, white rice $5, Dungeness crab $55, and papaya salad $16. I thought the crab was on the small side right at 5" and it was tough to eat. The pieces don't come out when cracked like fresh crab. The flavor profile was there, paired with the garlic butter and "egg custard" which essentially are the crab guts. Also, the hot chili sauce option is $12 - to which their own siracha should have a warning label. It was hot spicy AF. The chili garlic was good and I wanted more of it. I'm giving this 2/5 stars because service was so slow despite the restaurant not being jammed packed. We seen at least 3 other tables seated after us leave earlier than us because our server was everywhere but our table. Servers didn't clear or refresh our plates for our main entrees. Then when we were done, our leftover food was confirmed as packed, assured by the busser that "all the food" was packed, which it wasn't. And our server was a little pretentious for her own good. I didn't trust her after the asian comment. I wish the food was better and was hopeful when I made the reservation. After receiving my bill, I asked about the pork ribs- why they weren't packed to go? I was told the kitchen threw out all the pork ribs YET you served them and charged me for it. After being told it was prepared "asian style", I'm having trust issues here at Slanted Door. I thought the overall dining experience was sub par with a shameful 20% service fee, only enjoying the spring rolls = $269 dinner for two. After telling the server the third time about the pork ribs, it was eventually removed from the bill.

    I wanted to love it. I really wanted to love it, but this location is missing the warmth of the original Valencia and later Ferry Building locations. It gives beetlejuice vibes. We went on a Saturday afternoon and then menu was weird. It was missing my favorites. I felt cheated. I wanted my crab noodles and chicken clay pot, I settled for crispy imperial rolls and chicken pho. Their teas are lovely though. I will give them another try, but being someone who's gone to The Slanted Door for 30 years, I also found my server a little smug for my liking.

    Crispy Pork Belly
    Rani S.

    We came here around 4pm on a Sunday and ordered off of the happy hour menu. It was pretty empty at this time so we were seated immediately and the service was great. We enjoyed the upscale but laid back ambiance. Here is what we ordered: - Arnold Palmers (delicious and they gave us free refills!) - Crispy Pork Belly (I forgot what the exact name was on the menu as I couldn't find it on there but it was so tasty and unique -- I've never had a dish like this, it was crispy and well seasoned on the outside, and had a chewy texture on the inside, which was a balance we enjoyed) - Crispy Imperial Rolls with Tofu (also had a great texture and flavor profile, the sauce was a highlight) - Shaking Beef (we got this for our main -- also cooked really well and paired nicely with rice. I also enjoyed all of the grilled veggies it came with) We also ordered a noodle dish in addition but later realized we ordered too much for 2 people. We asked to remove the noodle dish after the appetizers came and they were very accommodating, which contributed to a great experience coming here. We'll definitely be back to try the dinner menu!

    half organic chicken with ginger scallion sauce and chicken fat mushroom rice
    Spa G.

    Went for brunch and had the half organic chicken with ginger scallion sauce and chicken fat mushroom rice and it was SO good. Not only was the food good but the service was impeccable. Our server said she was new and she gave us top notch service.

    Crab vermicelli
    Robert C.

    Made an easy Open Table reservation for Sunday night. We were seated right away- place was surprisingly not crowded... could've been the weather. Host was friendly and was our server. We ordered the fried spring rolls and shrimp and chive dumplings- both very tasty. Had the shaking beef, the crab vermicelli, and bok choy entrees. Food was good. Service was attentive. Portions could've been slightly larger. Otherwise, we had a nice dinner.

    Crispy Pork & Shrimp Imperial Roll
    She M.

    Slanted Door in San Ramon? Total flavor bomb and a vibe to match! We rolled in as a group and basically ordered the greatest hits: papaya salad, imperial rolls, cellophane noodles, shaking beef, and eggplant. Every dish was a knockout--beautifully plated, bursting with flavor, and each one had its own little personality. The shaking beef? Tender and bold. The eggplant? Silky and savory. Even the papaya salad had us doing happy dances. Service was top-tier--attentive without hovering, and genuinely warm. This place nails the fine dining Vietnamese experience without feeling stuffy. We left full, happy, and already plotting our return. If you're looking for a spot that delivers on taste, presentation, and good vibes, Slanted Door is it. Go hungry and bring friends--you'll want to share the joy (and the noodles).

    Crispy vegetarian rolls woah 15/10
    Christina S.

    Woah! So 2 out of 3 dishes were 10/10 The asparagus dish... the flavor and texture was just off for me. Also visually not appealing. Personally. The steamed buns woah! Phenomenal the best vegetarian bun I ever had def going back for more. And the crispy rolls 15/10 amazing! Can't wait to bring my parents for rolls and drinks! Yum! Service was great everyone was so polite and we were even educated on specially how the dish was best to be consumed. I loved it! Been wanting to come here for years and finally just walked by it and had to stop for a bite!

    Vegetarian mushroom rice noodle, tapioca pork belly dumpling and imperial rolls
    Sean M.

    Food 3.5 overall Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 4/5 Food presented well but not over the top in terms of flavors. We had the vegetarian banh nam a banana leaf rice dumpling with mushrooms. Ok, kind of bland 3/5 We also had the banh boc lot a tapioca pork belly 3.75/5 dumpling. The juxtaposition of vinegar, sweet and salty was good but 4 dumplings @$16 not inexpensive And the crispy imperial rolls 5/5 Go for cocktails, ambiance and service not to be full from a meal. Nice spot, pricey.

    Enjoying delicious Vietnamese cuisine: whole fish branzino, pork belly clay pot, and their famous imperial rolls!

    Noodle soup
    Vibhuti V.

    I recently visited this modern Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. Ordered daikon rice cakes, crispy vegetarian imperial rolls, pho chay vegan noodle soup, 5 spice chicken vermicelli, freshly squeezed orange juice, pineapple juice. Food was fresh and delicious. The portions are good for one person. I will not recommend the freshly squeezed juices. The price point is slightly on higher end. Overall this place is good for one time visit.

    Hi! I have a dairy allergy (eggs is ok, but butter, milk etc). Does the shaking beef have any dairy?

    The shaking beef does have butter in the dish which can be omitted upon request.

    The one in SF is $35 so would expect no more than that in San Ramon.

Just stepping in lifts your spirit and creates joy. The thoughtful decor and beautiful design immediately stand out, creating a special atmosphere, even if you are simply meeting friends for lunch on a weekday. I never expected to find such a stunning restaurant tucked into a shopping strip in the heart of San Ramon. One Hour Bistro is truly a delightfull find. The same attention to detail reflected in the decor is also evident in the quality of the ingredients and the incredible flavors of each dish. Crystal glasses in a Thai restaurant? YES! They also offer mocktails which I wish I had time to try and savor. I ordered the Kao Soi Braised Short Ribs, and it was absolutely stunning; beautifully presented, generously portioned, and deeply comforting. The rich broth, tender bone-in ribs, and flavorful noodles made every bite memorable. I couldn't even finish the entire dish because I wanted to savore it slowly. The Pad See Ew was a silky, heavenly treat. The rice noodles were succulent, the vegetables were fresh, and everything was coated in a rich, flavorful sauce. If your driving through San Ramon, this is a MUST try. If you live in the area, lucky you!
