I was excited when Rice Paper opened in my neighborhood, notably because my boyfriend and I are huge Pho fans. This quaint little eatery did not disappoint on its most-popular dish. The beef broth was flavorful, the side veggies crisp and the thin slices of beef melt in your mouth.
The Pho here is a bit more pricey than other Vietnamese places I've been to in Tempe or throughout the Valley, however, the quality makes it worth it. A couple could easily share one order of Pho and some spring rolls and be satisfied.
Where my disappointment set in was with the curry tofu dish. I realize the Vietnamese aren't known for curry, but I was expecting a bit more based on the delicious-tasting spring roll I had just enjoyed. The tofu was dry and the curry lacked depth, overpowered by spices.
Service gets an A-. Waiter was great, but a bit pushy on menu items.
