Guide Review - The Slanted Door: Vietnamese Cuisine with a Modern Flair
The comprehensive menu includes appetizers, soups, salads, and meat, seafood and vegetable dishes. There are indeed vegetarian options on the menu, such as the Vegetarian Spring Rolls and Vegetarian Glass Noodles. These dishes are specifically noted on the menu, but if you have a question about any other items, just ask. For instance, the Crispy Vegetarian Imperial Rolls, you may want to ask how these are prepared. And if you're a vegan, you definitely should ask about how certain dishes are made. The staff is very helpful and won't mind checking for you.
For parties of seven or more, the restaurant also offers a prix-fixe menu, where the table selects three appetizers, three meat or seafood entrees, and one vegetable dish. Portions are served family-style and additional appetizers/entrees can be added upon request. The prix-fixe menu runs $38/per person for lunch and $45/per person for dinner. Reservations are required.
