The crab was AMAZING!! I always get roast crab and garlic noodles. This particular batch of crab was so delicious and super fresh. Sometimes crab will have that metallic / strange taste (not necessarily at this restaurant but when I’ve purchased at the store or other restaurants), but mine and my moms were very fresh, cooked to perfection and finger licking delicious ????????????????????????????????????

One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco every time I go, I get the same thing, crab shrimp and garlic noodles and every single time it is always on point. The staff for friendly knowledgeable and available. Food always comes out fast and is piping hot. This place is pretty expensive but well worth it.

Overrated and overpriced! You could save half of your money with more good food from the other restaurants.

Super Yum food! Everything was delicious. Shaken beef was flavorful, Vietnamese egg roll was my favorite, and the deep-fried banana desserts hit the spot!

It lives up to the name of it. We ordered garlic noodles, calamari and lobster. It was delicious. The oysters were worth the trial. Lobsters was fresh and well cooked.

The server was respectful and took time to explain the dishes and served well.
Fully recommend the experience.

Didn’t wow me as much as I was expecting it to but this was still a delicious meal. The crab was huge and had a ton of meat on it. The garlic noodles were amazing with lots of fresh garlic. The service was exceptional! They also have a decent wine selection. However at the price point and being a bit overrated I do not believe I will be returning. Definitely worth going once though!

You absolutely can't go wrong at Thanh Long. Justifiably famous for their roasted Dungeness crab and garlic noodles (which you should just order reflexively), don't overlook other standouts like Vietnamese bouillabaisse or their miraculous crab puffs.

I frequent here like way too often. I always order the same roated crab w/ the fried rice and I drizzle the butter over top. I wouldn't have it any other way. I have tried most of the crab flavors and this by far is the best! I wouldn't recommen unless your in thr mood to Experiment! The tiger prawns were subpar. Dry . The chicken satay wasn't that great. Would never order again. The sea bass was so bland I wanted to send it back. It showed up unseasoned with a few pieces of bok choy and like a carrot. Stick to what ya know...

I wish I can say I really enjoyed my visit but the food is overpriced and I definitely think there is msg in the roast crab dish. The service was good. But for the price of $80 a crab, I could only eat 2 claws in and felt the after taste of the msg or some kind of flavor enhanced. I started getting a headache after leaving there. We had mussels for $15.95 and it was only 5 mussels on 5 pieces of small breads. The garlic noodle is just ok for me and not impressive. I am shocked people actually like this place but for me, I won’t be back or recommend it. My friend raved about this place but I was left disappointed. I didn’t feel good afterward and neither did my bf. He thinks it is too salty. I think one of the secret spices is msg. I have been to another Vietnamese restaurant with my brother and we both had headaches. Maybe my sibling and I are sensitive to msg. But overall my experience here was disappointing. I don’t understand the hype and don’t plan to ever come back. I wish I can give better rating but for about $150 plus tip for 3 dishes, it didn’t seem worth it.

Ooof. Overrated and overpriced. Thanh Long feels like a restaurant that is aware of its local popularity and sets prices knowing that. It's certainly not for innovative food.

While the food is not horrible, it's not great either. In that it's not worth the premium prices they charge. For example, $80 for their famous crab dish and it's too salty and greasy and wasn't as fresh as you would expect (at least our experience). This dish is living off the popularity from decades ago.

Their famous garlic noodles are overrated. For $15, I expected a larger portion esp considering 1) you're overcharging for everything else 2) it's literally noodles and garlic. Perilla has better garlic noodles, larger portions, and it's not nearly as oily.

Some of the lemongrass chicken was overcooked (tough and dry on exterior) and the pieces were ridiculously oversized for some reason. Again, Perilla has a better version (btw I don't love Perilla either but it's ???? to ???? here).

All in all, we paid $260 for four dishes and garlic noodles, taxes and tip (which was automatically included). Not often do I regret going to a restaurant, but this is one of those times.

And it wasn't just me, 4/5 of our group felt the same about the food. Really poor value and outside of the eggplant dish and service, everything else was a complete miss.

It’s almost necessary to take a mortgage out to afford the crab, but it’s definitely worth considering doing so. It’s last meal worthy!

Having fallen in love with this place in years past, our recent visit just felt a bit tragic to me. To make a long story short, both my wife and I received bad crab. My wife noticed hers right away: a distinct smell and grey-looking meat. The waiter took it away and replaced it. I was about halfway through when I noticed something off about my crab and took a whiff of it. Something smelled almost like ammonia to me. Would they have believed me, since I'd already eaten half of it?

Price: for one beer, one shared plate of garlic noodles, and two orders of bad roast crab: $245, including a 15% non-optional service charge (there was only the two of us).

I won't be back again, and that makes me sad.

$80 for a crab loaded with msg, wayyyy too salty. $15 for 5 mussels. That is oyster prices! The $15 garlic noodles was the quality of top ramen with a bunch of minced garlic thrown on top, quite bland. Service was good and atmosphere was fun.

As a Frisco native I've been a customer for over 20 years and the service, and quality of food are wonderful and consistent. The only thing that has changed are the portions of crab and noodles seem to be less than 2-3 years ago. I'm in town visiting this week, and will definitely be stopping by for the roast crab and noodles before I leave! I wish there was a Thang Long or Crustaceans in every major city ????????
