In 1995, Charles Phan and his family opened a small 45-seat restaurant in the Mission district in San Francisco with a focus on quality Vietnamese street food in a modern setting. With Phan's innovative design and bold flavors, The Slanted Door was quickly recognized, locally and nationally, within 3 months of opening. The Slanted Door moved its flagship location to the Ferry Building in 2004. From the beginning, we have sourced our ingredients from local farmers and purveyors to bring out the best flavors in our foods, while using traditional cooking methods. The Slanted Door has opened a second location in San Ramon and is also coming soon to Napa, CA. Charles continues to explore different concepts in Vietnamese cooking. He recently opened Chuck's Takeaway, offering quick sandwiches in San Francisco's Mission district. The concept thrives off of Phan's desire for the perfect Vietnamese Banh Mi, using entirely housemade ingredients to create amazing sandwiches. Chuck's Takeaway offers a more casual experience while still maintaining a dedication to quality and fresh ingredients.

In 1965 when brothers Al and Joe Scoma heard about a small coffee shop on the Wharf that was for sale, little did they know they were on the road to creating a landmark restaurant. The brothers bought the tiny, six-stool coffee shop on Pier 47 that served local fishermen breakfast and burgers and began the long and ultimately successful process of turning the hidden local hang-out into one of the nation’s highest grossing independent restaurants.
