Slanted Rice has become our go-to for take out. The owners are always so friendly and accommodating and everything we've tried have been delicious.
Faves:
Pho - mandatory hangover cure. SO MUCH better than Noodles Ranch. There is actual complexity in the broth. If you're a broth junkie like me, their scallion broth that comes with the entrees (and you can order separately as well) is the same as their pho broth.
Garlic Noodles - Such an genius idea! Fragrant but not overbearing garlic flavor and some added mmmMMMmmmm with a sprinkle of cheese. Great with sriacha if you're into spice.
Clay Pot Rice - I really wish they did this with Chinese sausage but ehhhhhh... What you're really looking to get here is that crispy rice goodness all around the clay pot. DO NOT GET THIS TO GO. You will miss out on the crispiness! What you want to do is to mix everything together so you get all of the flavors of the chicken and mushrooms and sauce and the awesome crunch texture of the rice sprinkled in. YUM.
Sooooo... not to be a Noodles Ranch hater, but seriously drive the two miles north and come try this place (all you Colonial Grand dwellers - looking at you). You won't regret it!
