8. Slanted Door

I wanted to try this place for a long time but they kept moving around. The ambiance is great and the food unique but delightful. Make reservations if you can't make it there early! I would definitely come back!

Very crowded and noisy, but for those seeking a high-energy place, this is it. Probably some of the most unique dishes I have experienced, but all very good. Shrimp rolls were excellent, as were the mahi and tuna. Very Asian, but served with an American flair. As with most SFO restaurants, the desserts were awesome. If you don't mind the noise, this is the kind of place you won't see very often. HINT: Go early or late and you might get seated right away. Other than that, reservations are a must.
