“ Found this place by accident, cant wait to go back. Not fine dining, more like fast casual. Wide selection of salad rolls type stuff. Both of mine were fresh and delicious. Quick and friendly staff. ”
“ Lovely place and top notch service. Food is good and Ingredients were super fresh. Only the chilli oil was something that I felt could be spicier and better but probably this was made for the low-heat folks. We ordered the crispy rice with shrimp and a seafood roll - both were really good! ”
“ We just went to Vietnam a couple months ago and we were wanting to find some Vietnamese food here in the Phoenix area. Vietnamese food by the way is sooooo delicious!! I had never had it prior to going to Vietnam. Anyway, I found this place doing a google search and some of the reviews almost scared me away. Seriously! We wanted to go with friends and I was afraid of bringing my friends somewhere that was not great. But it was GREAT! Don’t let the other lame reviews scare you off. The food was amazing, the service was excellent and the vibe was laid back and stylishly decorated. The manager that night was so nice and attentive. Our server was great too. The side of fries were huge and interestingly seasoned. We just asked for regular fries but we were told they were seasoned with pepper and a teensy bit of sugar. Sounds weird but they were really good. I totally will eat here again as it was mostly authentic and super yummy ”
“ We once again enjoyed our dinner and service at this Vietnamese restaurant. The roll selection is excellent and voluminous in terms of options. We also had the lemon grass chicken and the vegetarian rice dish. Both excellent. My wife had the shrimp crackerjack roll and I had the tuna roll. Service was good. ”
“ Excited to try Rice Paper for the first time. I ordered the Spicy Asian Rice Paper Spring roll. A perfect summer roll. Full of flavor, cool and hot. Fresh ingredients and liked to flavor combinations. I also tried the Pork Crispy roll. 3 delicious rolls that were not greasy. Both the sauces were great. I would definitely come back. Enjoy now before it gets crowded you won't be disappointed. ”
“ FIRSTLY... this is the first place in my years of eating Pho that has a weekend 50% off Pho lunch special. I don't know how long it will last but it's practically unheard of in the "pho industry". I ordered 2 bowls... the filet mignon and the rare beef. PORTION 5/5 - this place on the weekend as long as the special is on... is easily a 5/5. If I had to pay full price, the honest score for portion would drop to a 3.5/5. But given that pho fans usually frequent a few different spots I have no issue with the 5/5 rating with the weekend special. NOODLES 3.5/5 - Not a lot of noodles compared to most other places and a bit over cooked. ONION 5/5 the proper amount of onions here. MEAT 4.5/5 - The meat is of high quality but could have a few more pieces. But high quality and tender. BROTH 4.5/5 - Not elite level broth as something is missing... probably cinnamon it's hard to say. But... this is likely the best broth I've had in Phoenix so far. Very flavorful! Overall PHO Score - 22.5/25. 5 star Google review. FINAL THOUGHTS - This is so far the best Pho place in Phoenix I've found while here. I'll try other places when I return in a month but I've tried several others. This Pho is easily worth driving across town for and on Weekends as long as their 50% off Pho special exists... it would be logically pointless to eat pho AMYWHERE else in the city on a weekend. Pointless. The restaurant itself by the way is absolutely beautiful. If they can tweak their broth they are .5 points away in my rating from being ELITE level. So far I've found only 2 elite level places.... one in Aspen Colorado and the other place is in Langford on Vancouver Island BC. ”
“ I am giving 5 stars mainly for two reasons: Firstly, I love the food and it’s as close as it can be to authentic Vietnamese cuisine. The pho was flavorful and the rice noodles has this good taste. Spring rolls are best with pork meat but their chicken spring roll is really good and I enjoyed it more than the pork. The tea was rich in flavor and sweet enough perfect for a sweet tooth like me, the iced coffee was decent. Secondly our server Adrian was top notch. He was genuinely attentive, conversant and thoughtful. The ambiance is nice, they tried to make the place look cool and modern but I have reservations on the hodge-podge decor pieces bordering to kitschiness. But if you don’t pay attention to the details, you can just ignore them and enjoy the food. Side note: On my visit the floor was super sticky. I don’t know if it were my shoes or they use a dirty mop to clean it. ”
“ This place turned out to be so delicious! Went with a couple co-workers for lunch, we ordered the spicy shrimp as an appetizer and i could have honestly just ordered that for my meal and been happy. The flavors were so yummy. The most impressive part of the meal was actually the spring roll, which is not pictured because we devoured it too fast. Finished off the meal with some ginger tea. The patio seating was great and so was the service. There are so many options to choose from with spring rolls, I’ll definitely be back to try one with mint inside. Highly recommend this place! ”
