I was surprised to find a Vietnamese option while visiting Phoenix, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Sllanted Rice is a fairly intimate place, but comfortable. I found the service was good too. Like many others I tried the Crispy rice in Clay pot with Chicken. Wow! It was very hot, almost too hot. The rice reminded of Persian rice or burnt rice in a good Paella. Once I the dish cooled down enough to eat I really enjoyed the bok choy, the shitake mushrooms and the sauce. The chicken was kind of plain, but that could be my fault. I bet the veggie version is worth trying.
The price was right too.
