The James Beard Award-winning restaurateur is known for growing the Slanted Door into a globally recognized fixture with two other Bay Area locations in Napa, San Ramon and one in France. The flagship location — which had been at San Francisco’s Ferry Building but closed in 2020 due to the pandemic — was set to reopen in its original location in the Mission neighborhood this spring. It remains unclear how Phan’s death might impact those plans.
Hunter Lewis, Food & Wine magazine’s editor-in-chief, still remembers the shaking beef he ate at Slanted Door in 2007. It was “one of those touchstone meals” that distinguished Phan as a “pathbreaker” who really broke out from the regional culinary scene. “I think we took for granted when Slanted Door became popular that these ingredients were not ubiquitous. He was really instrumental in that.”
The Slanted Door officially opened its door in 1995. It was seen as a “hot, happening” restaurant that was hard to get into, Jung recalled. He used organic ingredients and higher-end meats like filet mignon — almost unheard of in Asian cuisine in the U.S.
