The Slanted Door, in the Ferry Building at Embarcadero, is an upscale,
modern Vietnamese restaurant that combines Vietnamese tradition with
the freshest and best local ingredients. You'll have no trouble
finding wonderful non-meat menu items. IMHO it is one of the very
restaurants that lives up to "asian-californian-fusion" hype.

Oh, and it's definitely frequented by locals. For a couple of years
after it opened the reservations waiting list was months long. Check
with your hotel concierge immediately on arrival.

And this is from someone who has been enjoying SF Chinatown since the
60's. My honorable ancestors are spinning in their graves.
