Slanted Rice

Saw the Guy Fieri show about Slanted Rice flying into Phoenix. Turns out it was next to our conference center in Scottsdale and I could walk right over. Flavors and freshness of things you’ve had before make this about the best food in its class. I had to come twice. Do Pho, Shaken Beef, rolls, and salad. Their wings’ texture happens to be superior to practically any in Buffalo, NY, and the lemongrass, sweet fish, and garlic butter are all pretty exotic for wing genre.

Actually impressed by this Vietnamese place in AZ. Food was really good. Shishito peppers didn’t have much flavor to me but fun to eat. The sweet pork crispy wonton spring roll was really good! Add a little sriracha to their sauce and it was perfect. Fried pork eggrolls were super flavorful and fried perfectly, super crispy. Garlic noodles were good, you can smell and taste the garlic and butter in it. A smidge salty but still good. Fish sauce glazed wings were awesome. The fish sauce becomes slightly sweet as it caramelizes. Fried just right super crispy skin. Pork vermicelli bowl had pork that was tender and seasoned so well. Service was great! It was just 2 tables in the restaurant but he still checked on us constantly and made sure we had everything we needed. Parking - big open free

Pricey food with low food quality. We ordered combination rice noodle soups. The texture and shape of the meat looked like glandular or lymphatic tissue, and under the light it even showed a strange iridescent sheen. The meat tasted very odd as well. I strongly suspect they are using very low-quality, cheap cuts while charging high prices.

The food is very fresh, delicious and the ingredients are first rate. Service is the issue: the wait staff were so nice but they are working too hard. Please hire adequate staff! We had to wait way too long before we were asked for our bar order and then we had to wait a long time for the drinks. There was no bartender for full bar service, wait staff had to do that AND make sure food orders were delivered. This place deserves all the love, the prices are reasonable for the quality, but PLEAS3 help out your wait staff!! We would have ordered way more drinks if we could have. And probably more food.

This place offers great food and drink options—the soup was especially good. The restrooms are well-maintained. However, the indoor seating is limited, making it challenging for large groups. We were a group of 12, and they had to join four tables to accommodate us, which felt a bit cramped.
