December, The 12th and final month of 2025 Foodie Family. Our **journey** of global flavors is at the end. We started in Japan with Shabu Shabu, discovered unique Georgian Cusine-we are mezmorized by the honey cake! Then we indulged in dishes from countries with the EU, explored unique spices and curries of India-some hits, some misses overall it was amazing! Now It is time to return home to San Francisco to enjoy a ***Vietnamese*** dish born in a "secret kitchen" in the Outer Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco.

Courtesy of their website: [Thanh Long](https://www.thanhlongsf.com/) is the original home of *AN’s Famous Garlic Noodles®* and a beloved destination for Vietnamese cuisine in San Francisco. Established in 1971, this family-run restaurant on Judah Street became the city’s very first Vietnamese restaurant—introducing generations of locals and travelers to bold, unforgettable flavors. Thanh Long is also the birthplace of House of AN, the now-celebrated culinary empire built by the An Family, whose legacy began in this humble, oceanside neighborhood.
Founded by family matriarch Diana An and later elevated by the visionary *Chef Helene An*, Thanh Long is where signature dishes like *Garlic Noodles with Tiger Prawns*, and *Whole-Roasted Dungeness Crab™* first came to life. It’s also the original home of the famed Secret Kitchen™.
Still located in the Outer Sunset after over 50 years, Thanh Long continues to delight with its warm hospitality, cult-following, and deep-rooted culinary history.
For those seeking the best garlic noodles in San Francisco or an iconic roasted crab experience in a casual neighborhood setting, Thanh Long remains a must-visit destination. A true hidden gem, steeped in story and soul, where every dish reflects the heart of Vietnamese-American cuisine.

Table for 8. This event has limited spots for open RSVP, priority will be given to newish members or persons who have not dined here before. I am collecting immediate deposit of $20 per person to hold spot for RSVP. Will be applied towards individual total balance due after dinner.
Dinner pricing is listed as about $50+ per person, *crab* is market price, sides, beverage, supplements can easily increase this average. Dress is smart casual. If appetizers and/or side dish are shared (family style) cost will be divvied up for attendees.
