We hold 230 venues in San Francisco, CA and could score 133 of them. This one is not among them, so it has no position — not a low one.
There is no score breakdown to show: nothing we read about this venue earned points in any of the four categories, so a bar chart of zeroes would look like a verdict on the kitchen rather than on what it publishes. What we did read is below.

“4101 Judah St., San Francisco https://s.hdnux.com/photos/0/0/0/24905267/1/175x0.jpg If you scan the dining room of Thanh Long, it’s easy to deduce that it has become a site of momentous cultural exchange — a place where no one is too cool to put on a bib for Dungeness crab. The most popular preparation, for good reason, is the roast crab soaked in an alarming amount of butter and aggressively seasoned with garlic and black pepper. There are few pleasures in the world that measure up to the satisfaction of freeing a crustacean of its precious meat, and this remains one of the best places in the city to do it.

“This understated Vietnamese restaurant out by the beach lays claim to having [invented the garlic noodle and crab combination](https://www.sfgate.com/food/article/sf-thanh-long-garlic-noodles-17751623.php) that’s since become a [Bay Area staple](https://www.kqed.org/arts/13900855/garlic-noodles-sf-bay-area-iconic-foods-thanh-long-smellys). Obviously, then, a whole roasted crab seated over a pool of garlicky, peppery butter sauce is a must, along with a bowl of bouncy egg noodles absolutely smothered in more garlic. * [Book a table](https://reservations.safegraph.com/reserve/180911?utm_source=safegraph&utm_campaign=poi) * [4101 Judah Street, San Francisco, California 94122](https://www.google”

“Since 1971, this family-run Vietnamese restaurant has served some of the city’s most well-loved garlic noodles, a [regional staple](https://www.kqed.org/arts/13900855/garlic-noodles-sf-bay-area-iconic-foods-thanh-long-smellys) prized for its luxurious buttery texture. Thanh Long lays claim to being one of the city’s first Vietnamese restaurants and is widely accepted as being at the root of the dish’s history. The move is to order them along with a whole Dungeness crab, which will be roasted in the restaurant’s famous garlic sauce. * [Book a table](https://reservations.safegraph.com/reserve/180911?utm_source=safegraph&utm_campaign=poi) * [4101 Judah St, San Francisco, CA 94122, USA](https://”
