What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

On Best Thing I Ever Ate ('With Fruit'), a chef highlighted a Vietnamese dish from Out the Door, the fast-casual offshoot of chef Charles Phan's Slanted Door restaurant group in San Francisco. Out the Door operated as a Vietnamese restaurant and to-go counter, with locations that at different times included a spot inside the Ferry Building Marketplace and a full-service dining room in Pacific Heights. According to Yelp, listings for the Out the Door locations, including one near Market Street, were marked permanently closed as of an August 2026 update, with reviews describing a Vietnamese menu of noodle and rice dishes. No source located in this search indicated any Out the Door location remains open or has reopened under new ownership since those closures. The Slanted Door restaurant group itself was not reported closed.
