I will be coming back!
Rice Paper was featured on a news clip recently and because I enjoy going to new places and it happens to be close to my work I decided to try it. A coworker and I had a short amount of time to grab something to eat before a meeting which was close by so we decided to try Rice Paper.
Note to future patrons, there is very limited parking, but my coworker and I did find a space and were pleased that we could be seated right away. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by friendly staff and all around people were seeming to have a great time. After being seated for a moment and ordering drinks we waited a bit to place our food order (remember we had a tight schedule).
Once our food arrived we were both surprised at how good the fresh spring roll was. We got a tuna spring roll and it was amazing! These rolls are big and split in two ( I will be coming back to order just spring rolls), a great deal for the money. I ordered the tofu Bahn Mi and it was so tasty. I expected the roll to be very crunchy as most bahn mi's do come that way but the bread was toasted and surprisingly soft. The flavor was spot on for my craving that day...I will order again. My co-worker ordered a tuna salad and we both were in awe of how much salad she got. We mentioned many times during our meal that we would be back.
I do have to say because the building is small, they pack a lot of tables and patrons in tiny spaces. The day I went there it was not as busy as I expected so when we waited a good 5-10 minutes after finishing eating to then ask our waiter for our check we were slightly disappointed. However, this little issue will not prevent me from going back, I will just not go when I have a short amount of time to eat.
Rice Paper Eatery was great!
