Best Restaurants for Groups in San Francisco Bay Area

Great food. The duck was delicious as was the fire cracker chicken.

Went with the tasting menu to get outside my comfort zone and see what the best the restaurant had to offer was. For drinks, we got the banh bo gimlet, toastedtini, and a glass of wine. The gimlet was absolutely the single greatest cocktail I've ever had. It was perfectly balanced and aromatic. Not all of the tasting menu was amazing but like 99% of it was. The oysters tasted really bright and fresh. The banh khot caviar is mind-blowing! It was a perfectly balanced single bite of caked and fried shrimp taken to the next level with the addition of a small scoop of caviar. The bo tai chanh also stood out as an exceptional dish because of how every ingredient in that dish felt like it was perfectly used to layer both flavors and textures. You just have to try it for yourself to understand. The Dungeness crab salad clearly tried to do the same thing but I felt that the tobiko was a little overused causing it to overwhelm the other textures. The various components of the manila clams were all executed well and came together to form a delicious dish. I particularly enjoyed the broth and would gladly have just slurped up a bowl of that. After that came the bun cha which had no chance of living up to the excellence of the clams and their unforgettable broth. The bun cha was still good though. The tangy broth that the proteins were marinating in was excellent and the herbs were fresh. It was also fun to put everything together yourself and build your own bowl or lettuce wrap. We got bowls of pho for our seventh course which, at that point, felt less like a treat and more like an obligation. We were starting to get pretty full and the pho wasn't exciting enough to put much effort into trying to finish. Btw, the beef pho is way better than the chicken pho. Honestly, I loved my overall experience so much that I don't even want to mention dessert but I should. It's not good. It's bland and boring. Service and ambiance were top notch. Overall, best Vietnamese restaurant in SF!

Great good but be assertive if you want to be served - which isn’t a bad thing if you know the deal but if you’re not used to asking for service - ask.

One of our party has numerous allergies. Our server went out of her way to help her find healthy choices for the guest, including checking with the kitchen to confirm that two pastas were suitable. A wonderful experience, delicious dishes!

Breakfast eggs were not tasty and not prepared the way you expect from 5 star hotel. Probably a corner restaurant makes it much better.
