  The best Pho and service I've ever had! Highly recommend this restaurant! It's one of my go-to spots.

  Service was great! (We were the only table there hah!)
  
  The Bun Bo was disappointing. The noodles weren't the bun bo hue noodles and the flavors were lacking. My boyfriend did enjoy their pho. The Thai Tea had too much of the tea flavor and not enough sweetness for me but that's just my personal preference.
  
  The place seemed well kept. Clean space. I like the decor of the place. It seemed like they brought back a lot of the decorative pieces from Vietnam.

  My parents and I decided to give this place a try since it's closer to where we live than Pho Hien Vuong (one of my faves). The interior was nice and casual and it smelled really good when we walked in.
  
  Truthfully I was drawn to this place because I saw they had a Durian milkshake and my dad and I LOVE durian. If you've never had it before, it's a really exotic fruit - deemed the King of fruit - it has a very distinct smell and flavor and typically people either love it or hate it. So of course, we ordered one and I also ordered a Vietnamese Iced drip coffee with condensed milk - YUM. My dad and I loved the durian milkshake! It tasted like we were drinking fresh durian versus what I was afraid of - some type of flavor syrup. The iced coffee was also delicious: strong, sweet and creamy.
  
  For appetizers we ordered the green papaya salad with fried tofu, the fried spring rolls and fresh spring rolls. The green papaya salad was a bit disappointing. I've eaten papaya salad many times before and this just didn't hit the mark for me. Normally it's spicy, crunchy and tangy. The papaya was soft and there wasn't enough sauce - the tofu was fried nicely though! The fried spring rolls were nice and crunchy and the filling was pretty good. Just your typical cabbage, carrot, mushroom etc. The fresh spring rolls were exactly that - fresh! Filled with veggies and nice with the peanut sauce on the side. It also had some sausage in it that reminded me of home in Hong Kong.
  
  For our mains, my parents both ordered chicken pho and I ordered the pork satay noodle bowl. The pork satay bowl was pretty good, just not great. The marinade on the pork was a little too sweet for me, however, I do love that the bowl had lots of fresh veggies (bean sprout, cucumber, carrot, radish). I tried the broth from my dads pho and it was pretty good - a little light and had good flavor. But like some other reviews I've seen, Pho Hien Vuong's pho is still the best.
  
  All in all this place is worth the try. It'll be a nice spot for those days where I'm feeling lazy and don't feel like driving out to spring garden because this place is down the street. That durian milkshake tho - I'm coming back for you!

  Visiting High Point for business convention and need something to eat. We have looked around and most restaurants we wanted to visit were closed during mid afternoon. We ended up at this place. We are happy about our visit. The foods were pretty good and the service was pretty good. You can tell from the food taste that the cook is professional based on how the flavors compliments each other really well. The foods were flavorful but not greasy. You don't feel tired or uncomfortable after the meal. The team enjoyed the foods they ordered.

  Rice Paper doesn't do anything exceptionally, but it does a number of things well. There is plenty of parking, and though the building seems small from the outside, plenty of seating as well. The interior is tastefully appointed with dark woods and hanging lights. The establishment was mostly empty when my wife and I visited, but we went during an off-hour (Sunday mid-afternoon). Lunchtime on a weekday may paint a different picture.
  
  The menu here is appreciably extensive. Banh mi, bubble teas, pho, and vermicelli bowls share the stage with dishes less common to the area such as hu tieu or pressed noodles (banh hoi). With the ability to go large or small, vegetarian or carnivorous, Rice Paper has something for everyone.
  
  For our first visit, my wife and I split a fresh roll and each took on a banh mi (grilled pork and the classic Vietnamese ham/pork/vegetable respectively). A Vietnamese coffee and a Thai tea rounded out our meal. The roll was lettuce-heavy but tasted fresh, and the accompanying peanut sauce delivered the expected flavor. The grilled pork banh mi was seasoned well, but both sandwiches were quite a departure from what we were used to. The bread was soft rather than crisp, and the mayo lacked tang. Perhaps Saigon Bakery has spoiled us. On a more positive note, the Thai tea seems like a future re-order, and the coffee was appreciably strong.
  
  As mentioned above, Rice Paper's offerings run the gamut from small bites to full meals, and the prices vary accordingly. Banh mi are a perfectly reasonable $5 each, and our app (sized for two people) was $7. Some of the rice and noodle dishes run into the teens, and nothing seemed like too much of a reach. Though servers were not always easy to understand, they were attentive and accommodating, and our food came out quickly.
  
  Were Rice Paper situated in the heart of Greensboro, it would be subject to stiffer competition and would rate an occasional visit for some of its less ubiquitous menu items. But in the eastern High Point/Jamestown area, it serves a much bigger need and is a must for anyone in the vicinity with an appreciation for Asian cuisines.
