They make my favorite crab of all time! The roasted garlic crab. There is no other place on the planet that makes it like this. Well, except for Crustacean, but they’re the same owner. And the garlic noodles are incredible. The market price for the crab is quite expensive. $80 as of this writing but I think it’s worth it.
Great food but too expensive, especially one roast crab for $80. I expect “Market Price” items to be expensive but not nearly that much. Service was great. The Garlic noodle was our favorite, seafood fried rice needs a bit more flavor.
Great food and service.
We’re running late but staffs are very caring and helpful.
Menu is quite expensive.
Quite possibly the best crab I’ve ever had! I came here last weekend as a group and we all ordered various dishes. The most amazing one I had was the Toast crab. If you order the garlic noodles be sure to flip the crab shell upside down and store it in the head to soak up all the crab flavor.
I’ve been wanting to come here for years and now I face a great excuse to return in the near future.
Things to note:
•Get a reservation a week or more in advance.
•Large Groups sit upstairs
•two bathrooms downstairs. One upstairs.
•Valet Parking (yes you )
I grew up a few blocks down from Thanh Long and had never been (a travesty, I know!) It was so funny to me that there would be a restaurant in the sleepy Outer Sunset across from the 7-11 that needed valet parking.
Finally going there for dinner for the first time, I understood why. The staff were so friendly, attentive, and QUICK. The food was delicious. We ordered the crab puffs, eggplant, two orders of garlic noodles (there was only two of us), and the fried banana for dessert. I know, I know. We didn't order the crab?! We were too lazy, but it was definitely the most popular dish in the restaurant. EVERYONE else ordered the crab, and the waiter had to ask us three times if we were sure we didn't want it. Yes, we'll be back for the crab.
And street parking is tough (hence the valet).
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 🤤😁
We passed by on Christmas night and saw it was packed so we checked it out. There were some newspaper article about their crabs so we yelped the spot. They are known for their mouthwatering and signature dishes involved mostly fresh seafood from the San Francisco Bay.
5/5 Roasted crab ($78) : The Dungeness crab was drenched in some butter garlic and black pepper sauce. It was very scrumptious and a must try! Crab meat was sweet and the shell was easy to pry apart without a crab cracker.
4/5 Garlic noodles ($13.50) : The noodles had a less garlicky than what it smelled like. We were expecting a strong garlic flavor. It was not bad after we drenched the noodles into the sauce that remained from the roasted crab.
They charged an additional 10% charge for takeout. The total was a couple cents off $115. I would recommend to splurge at this spot and get the crab.
Thanh long has always been a personal favorite when it comes to crabs and garlic noodles in San Francisco. The crab has plenty of meat, really juicy and their noodles are just simply something else. The garlic butter sauce was the best I’ve ever had. Their prawns are also really good. The sauce was also great. This place is a must go when it comes to crabs and garlic noodles.
Great spot in the sunset for some delicious food!!
Salt and pepper calamari was divine! Impressed with how they got such good flavor without too much breading. Crab and garlic noodles were really good too; nice and buttery on the noodles and peppery sauce for crab! We also got the shaking beef which was juicy tender and great sweetness to round it out. Staff were all super friendly and you get your own private booth with a heater so felt very safe during COVID
Highly recommend!

It was worth the wait and the hype. I took my SIL's advice and ordered my own garlic noodles. She's right, they're so addicting. It was quite a bit for me, but it was worth every bite.
We ordered garlic noodles and the roasted crab, shrimp toast, calamari, and mango salad. The mango salad was an interesting mix of different flavors. Not sure if I would order it again. But the shrimp toast and calamari were very tasty.
The garlic noodles were seriously delicious. I do, however, wish the noodles were a little more Al dente. It doesn't feel like there's a lot of garlic in there just by looking at them, but when you eat them -- they're there.
The roast crab was incredible! There's so much flavor, even in the crab, and there's so much butter, garlic, and pepper on the plate for you to dip it in should you want to add more flavor.
They say you should get your own crab, but it really depends on your appetite. I had to share, so I'm glad we just got one.
There's only street parking, and not really a lot of it. We parked 3 long blocks away, but it was worth every step.
Just and FYI... There is an 18% service fee added to your check at the end of the night and the suggest gratuity is calculated with the service fee.
