We went to Slanted Rice this past Friday night. I was excited to go knowing that one of the owners was once the chef at Banzai, a sushi place I used to love on Northern and 12th street (now closed). First off, this place isn't your typical Vietnamese restaurant. It's a little bistro style restaurant with a hip atmosphere and a diverse and edgy menu. We started with lemon grass wings and lemon grass brussel sprouts. The wings were fantastic and the person at the table who hates sprouts was the one who insisted on a second order! For dinner we had the steak and the chicken. The entrees came with a small soup and salad, the soup was pho of course. I frequent Vietnamese restaurants around the valley and I have to say their pho was the most flavourful I've ever had. The steak and chicken were both absolutely delicious. I fairly sure I'm going for the steak again on my next visit. I had a cocktail recommended by the staff, don't know what it was called but they said it was the house signature drink, it was made with Jameson and blueberries. I definitely recommend trying one if you go, it was great. I can't comment on price as we were guests and were treated, but the menu prices looked very reasonable. Even though this place is not near where I live, it's worth the trip, I'll be heading back very soon.
