When it came time to finally go (7:30p) my boyfriend and I left on our quest to find a rad Viet diggs to get some legit food. He'd never had Vietnamese food and was curious and I was super psyched to get the bowl of pho I'd been dreaming of. We first went to VaDang, nothing- \"we are crosed\" at 8p on the DOT on a Saturday the chefs has already been long gone and they were shooing everyone out. We called Pho Tahn at 8p, they close at 8:30p but even then they tried to convince us to not come because they were closing...WHAT?!? We tried to go and squeeze in and order \"to go\" but because the little old guy at the register was telling us to hurry I became upset and decided to leave that damn place. What the hell is up with these lazy Vietnamese food places?!?! We then saw that Rice Paper was open until midnight and went there despite it having less favorable reviews and because it was next obvious choice. Reluctantly we went, the s server was nice but forgot my extra limes for the bland bowl of pho, my boyfriend had the Shaking Beef or whatever it's called and although I didn't want any (not because it didn't look good) I decided to not ask for any since the \"entree\" platter was so tiny!! $9/bowl of underwhelming bowl of Pho does not garner recommendation. At Rice Paper you are paying for the view of the hipster waitstaff, and cute chandelliers, not the food :(. I am unsure if Rice Paper satisfies my itch for Pho and I'm ok with it or if it only fanned the flames for me to continue my quest In search for good pho in my area. I might have to cave and plan a road trip to Little Saigon in Glendizzy for the pho I so desire."^^ . .
