Our visit to the Slanted Rice in Scottsdale was our first experience with Vietnamese Cuisine and what a memorable experience it was! Outstanding service, ambiance and fresh, delicious food prepared and served in a most appealing way is what you will find there! The lemongrass roasted brussels are a perfect start! So flavorful and roasted with an amazing lemon flair! Hubby had the shrimp rolls served on a stick with a tasty dipping sauce and really enjoyed this appetizer as well! We also sampled the vegetarian and shrimp pho and fell in love with the freshness and flavors of this wonderful soup.
I chose a cold rice vermicelli noodle dish with veggies, fresh mint, cucumbers, lettuce, peanuts and a variety of spices and sauces that you can add and then toss the whole thing together! One word- Amazing!!! I was in total vegetarian Heaven the whole time we were there! My husband had the charbroiled pork and rice which was quite tasty and he really enjoyed it.
The owner came out to chat with us and gave some suggestions on where to visit during our stay, she was adorable and very gracious. We are so glad to have visited this hip, immaculately clean and very well managed spot in beautiful Scottsdale! Of course we are on a quest for more Vietnamese food now that we have returned to Florida and I surely hope that they can stand up to the Slanted Rice!
