Rice Paper - Taste of Vietnam

The food was so good. Very fresh, seasoned well. Prices are a little above average but this is above average food. Service was very warm and friendly. Great for a quick casual bite or a date. Parking in Eden Center is an adventure but the secret is to look for spots at the grocery store end or behind the building. Will definitely visit again.

This was our third time coming here since moving to the area. The first two times were extremely busy with long lines, so we didn’t get a chance to eat. Today we came early to finally try it. The food wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t bad either. Prices are slightly higher than other places. The restaurant has a modern look, which is different from typical Vietnamese restaurants. Last year I lived in Houston and had the chance to try many Vietnamese restaurants within the local community—much more affordable and incredibly flavorful. I’ve visited Eden multiple times hoping to find something comparable, but so far I haven’t found a place that stands out the same way. Just a note: this restaurant does not offer complimentary water.

Posting this sort of on behalf of my girlfriend, who grew up on Vietnamese food - this place is one of the most authentic places I’ve gone to, and they do it well. The food was amazing, portions were great, and it was all reasonably priced. I find it odd that they don’t serve you water though.

I’d give this spot about 3–4 stars overall. The service was absolutely 5 stars the staff were super friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. They really made us feel taken care of. But when it comes to the food, it was a bit of a letdown. The duck bamboo soup was bland, almost like flavored water, and the cá thì là (dill fish) just didn’t hit the mark. They used a very low-quality fish, I believe basa, and for the price around $24 USD it felt overpriced. Honestly, you could get a solid steak dinner for the same price with more satisfaction. Overall, it’s a nice place if you want good service and a comfortable dining experience, but in terms of authentic flavor and value, there are definitely better Vietnamese options nearby.

Had lunch at Rice Paper and the place was busy even in the afternoon. The pho and beef fried rice were delicious, and the meat was very tender. The staff were friendly but extremely busy, so it took a while to get their attention. Bottled water cost $3 for two, which was a bit unusual — but overall, great food and pleasant atmosphere!

Rice Paper is certainly a local favorite for good reason. The menu offers a wonderful variety, and every dish we ordered was delicious. The service, however, was a 5 out of 10.

This place is a real gem. Food is very very delicious, cooked so amazing, used flavorful sauces, and it provides aroma festival. I will go back to try everything.

This place is a gem for authentic Vietnamese food—it’s even Vietnamese-mom approved! The dishes are flavorful, affordable, and the packed dining room speaks for itself. While there’s usually a wait for a table, the fast turnover makes it manageable. Just keep in mind they don’t offer free tap water—only bottled water for sale. (You can get hot water for free or bring your own bottled water like my mom did. 😂) Overall, totally worth it for the food!

Very authentic Vietnamese cuisine located at Eden Center in Falls Church. There's tons of Vietnamese restaurants at this location. Hard to choose. I chose Rice Paper because I had a short window of time and a very ravenous appetite. The restaurant was clean, and comfortable. Plenty of parking. My beef pho was very good. Great flavours and very fresh. The service was very good. No thrills, but exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking forward to coming here again, but I may try another restaurant to compare. Otherwise, I had a lovely experience.

I DO NOT recommend this restaurant for the following reasons: 1- it's dirty, smells unpleasant and overpriced. 2- Poor service, unfriendly staff 3- they just don't care about what and when they serve their customers! Our appetizers arrived after our dinners! my salad was just terrible I ordered the papaya salad with shrimp!!! Please refer to the pictures for your reference, it was like a soup more than a salad due to over done dressing that was just pungent! The shrimps were just like a clipped nails My colleague didn't like his food either. The presentation of the food was good but very low quality materials and terrible service! Oh not to forget the loud disco music !!! So unappetizing. We go to many vietnamies restaurants and I have never been so embarrassed and disappointed!

I like the food every time I've been there. Normally I get the shaking beef. My daughter got it and ever since, I started getting it. Service is pretty prompt and the place is tight when it's busy but busy because it's good too. Surprisingly bathroom is pretty clean and enough seats if it isn't too busy but goes by fast. I look forward to coming here when I'm in town.

It's a good Vietnamese restaurant with decent service. The food was pretty good in general but it's not at the amazing level. The pork chop in the rice plate wasn't that flavorful and tender. The grilled pork was better. I preferred the vermicelli bowl than the rice plate.

I love this spot! The rice paper rolls are delicious! I've tried the lemongrass beef, pork, and grilled shrimp rice paper dishes. They've all been so flavorful and tender! I love making summer rolls at home, and I like how this restaurant also allows you to DIY your own rolls with the ingredients on the dish (rice noodles, beef skewer, pickled veggies, lettuce, and fish sauce). Everything tasted fresh! I would definitely come back:)

Authentic Vietnamese cuisine in reheats of Asian community shopping center. We dined during off lunch hours 3pm and still crowded with local customers. The dishes we've ordered were flavorful, seasoned amazingly, came out pipping hot (soup) and crispy seafood noodle dish, all dishes came out generous portions. Staffs are friendly, food order came out quickly however there are limited servers so when you need a refill on tea and etc, you have to flag them down. Great place for a large group as there are multiple seating options available. There are plenty of parking spaces in the mall and we got seated quickly- they don't take Reservations. Hopefully you'll be able to go and enjoy the authentic Vietnamese cuisine. Bon appetite!

They are now charging $1.50 for water... Vermicelli was also overcooked. Very disappointed.

Went in for a quick lunch with friends and would not coming back. Food was very mediocre for the price that I paid. May be it is the upscale decorated that is being added into my meal cost but $8 for 2 small piece of egg roll?? They do not even offer tap water but 1.50$ for water bottle? Lastly, the server was not the best in their friendliness, I was shoved the credit card machine in front of my face while we were still chatting and rushed to pay/tips.

The food is amazing and the service is great. The restaurant sits in Eden Center shopping center, surrounded by other restaurants and shops. Could spend an afternoon shopping in it. Had the clay pot pork spare ribs and the filet mignon beef dish served with salad, sweet Chinese sausage, and a runny egg. The crispy egg rolls are also good stuffed with noodles, shrimp and pork. This place gets very busy on the weekends.

Absolutely packed on the Sunday that we went, service was nevertheless quick and efficient. The pho was a super flavorful, giant bowl of noodle goodness. Really like their green papaya salad as well as their rice paper wraps.

First time trying Rice Paper and I was throughly impressed. The establishment was quite small, but the service was quick. Not only were the portion sizes big, but the food was delicious and flavorful. I really enjoyed the sauces that came with the food as well, such as fish sauce. For appetizer, I had the Bu Nuong La Nho, which was basically ground beef grape leaves. Very tasty and filling dish. For entree, I ordered the Banh Xeo, which was a Vietnamese crepe with bean sprouts and meat/seafood. I didn't expect it to be so big, but I loved how it was both crispy and came with lots of vegetables. Even though I ate so much, I didn't feel bad/sick afterwards due to the large amount of vegetables. Overall, I would try this place again since it has many delicious Vietnamese food options.

There are many options at Eden Center but this is often my choice. The food is very good and the dishes come out nicely and simply presented in modern white dishes. (The little things make the difference to me!) The restaurant is small but more modern than most at the Center and often packed. The standard Vietnamese dishes (bun thit. Com, bun cha Hanoi, hu thieu, pho, etc) are very good and their bigger hot pot dishes meant for several people seem very popular.

This is a "locals" kind of place. There's plenty of free parking but it is a no-frills place that has many traditional foods. The setting is very casual and the service is pretty good. The food is great. My wife, son, and I went here because we hadn't cooked anything and this place turned out great. I had the spicy stir-fried lemongrass chicken, which was great. My wife had the Bo Luc lac with vegetables, and my son the shredded pork and grilled pork chops. Everything was delicious.

I came here on a Saturday and luckily arrived just in time before a long line formed. We managed to get seated right away! You have to arrive early or plan to wait in a line. To start, we got spring rolls and enjoyed them. For dinner, we got the special fried rice that comes with filet mignon, sweet Chinese sausage and veggies, and the vermicelli rice noodle with slices of beef to share. Both dishes were delicious! We loved both. The sweet pork sausage was the surprise star for me. The place is small but nicely decorated. Be aware, they have limited alcoholic beverage options, only having wine, beer, and sake. They also don't have tap water and have bottled water you have to pay for. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and loved our dishes. We will be returning.

Food flavors were good and very tasty. Note that if you don't like msg, I'm not sure if you can request no msg. Personally, I get sleepy after msg and get thirsty. We ordered 3 things that we haven't tried before and had a good experience. My reasons for 1 stars off was the long wait and the noise level. It is a small cafe and it took ~30 mins to be seated on a Sunday. And it is very loud as a lot of people are talking over each other. You have to be ready. The other thing that I wasn't a fan of was paying by cash. I'm weary when establishments do that as I don't want to inadvertently be contributing to nefarious activities.

The spicy Thai hotpot, first timer trying Vietnamese hotpot and it's amazing! Highly recommend:) it's definitely crowded during dinner time, there's a line to get seated.

Authentic Vietnamese spot in Eden Center with delicious food, but NO FREE TAP WATER (which I'm pretty sure is illegal)!!! Turns over tables very quickly Very large portions More substantial/hearty chopsticks than the ones most places use I got a beef pho and it was fantastic

We came based on all the lovely reviews on here. They only served bottled water. We ordered pho with rare beef. The flavor was good. I didn't like the way they cut the beef. It wasn't thinly sliced. Then the Quail with rice. It was 3 tiny pieces. Definitely not worth the $16.99. Everyone else's entree that was coming out looked so much better. Maybe we just ordered wrong. The tables were so closed together, I felt like we all knew each and was eating together. I would still come back and try other food though.

They are on the Washingtonian best 100 every year for a reason. Amazing atmosphere and authentic food. Service is top-notch especially when they have to deal with a non-stop rush every night because it's so popular. My first time here sitting next to a cynical loser obviously trying to cheap out on a bill and they handled it very well. Just made me want to support them even more! 101 unique items to choose from and it comes out of the kitchen so fast! Not to mention the portions are huge. You won't regret visiting and will want to bring your friends the next time you go to show how much of a foodie you are.

Looove this place. Great food, good price. The food is legit. I've been here a few times and have gotten the same rice paper platter that comes with assortment of meats. You use the rice paper to wrap the noodles, veggies and meats to make a roll. The dip is sooooo good. I also ask for the pineapple dip as well. The hi tieu was for the kids and that was also delicious. Pork chop w/ broken rice was also good. I

Year after year, Rice Paper remains an incredibly reliable source for truly authentic Vietnamese dishes prepared consistently with quality ingredients. Yes, the service can be indifferent. Yes, it's not the cheapest place in the Eden Center. Yes, it's annoying that they charge $1.50 for a bottle of water. These are all reasons that people give Rice Paper low ratings. But I'm there for the food, and the food is great.

Amazing, authentic Vietnamese food! We always stop by for lunch if we're near Eden Center. The only issue is that they're always PACKED on the weekends and don't take reservations - the last time we stopped by with a large group (8 people), we needed to wait an hour and a half for a table.

Haven't wrapped my own in about 10 years since living in Boston and having a Vietnamese friend take me to a restaurant like this. It was a little confusing but all of the delicious ingredients made it so you could not go wrong! My husband is someone who has two left hands but he did well making his own summer rolls and he thought it was delicious too. Service was nice but a bit reluctant to help. We also go the pho which we liked but was a lot on top of the wraps. We are both super full! It was crowded for lunch which I always take as a good sign. Ambiance was pleasant and clean.

Rice Paper is a Vietnamese restaurant located in the Eden Center, offering various appetizers (such as Ốc Nhồi, Gỏi Cuốn, and Nem Nướng), salads, congee, rice and noodle dishes, hot pot, pho, and even vegetarian options. My friend and I came here for dinner, and we ordered: +Gỏi Cuốn - I had mine made without pork or cilantro; this was stuffed very well and rolled tightly, which I liked; the peanut sauce was slightly sweeter, but make sure you eat this with some sriracha +Hủ Tiếu hoặc Mì Tôm Thịt - I had this 'without soup' and opting out of pork; you can choose between vermicelli or egg noodles, which I went for the latter; I thought they'd stir- or wok-fry this, but it's literally just 'soupless', with a bowl of the pork-based soup served on the side; it came with a hoisin-based thin sauce, that made the dish more sweeter +Bánh Xèo - crepe filled with shrimp, pork, mung beans, onions, and bean sprouts; this was of a generous portion, and my friend usually orders this dish Note that they do not serve tap water, so you can only order bottled water, tea, or alcoholic beverages. Not sure if it's a plumbing or a filter issue, but I'd bring my own canteen of water next time. We only noticed, since we were never asked or served any water/beverages... We ended up getting a pot of jasmine tea, which was steeped very well and was strong. Service was friendly, but we had to flag down the staff several times as they really didn't check in. The place has a modern vibe to it; I'd recommend in getting a booth seating, as the table in the center are a bit too close together for comfort. Plenty of parking in the lot. +Gỏi Cuốn (without pork) +no tap water served +lack of service +plenty of parking in lot

I binged there with no regrets. Food was delicious and the portions were quite generous. This was one of those cheat meals when you just couldn't put the folk down, so satisfied. If you go there for dinner, I would recommend to be there earlier than your usual dinner time. Otherwise, you might experience some hangery issue, it seems they always have a 20-30 minute line. I would like to try their hot pot during my next visit. The missing star was due to the overall environment. The floor of where I sat at was very greasy and slippery, and pad of the chair that I sat on was severely sinking, had a bit of safety concerns.

I dined at Rice Paper on Friday, March 10, 2023 at 7:20 pm, but I've been to Rice Paper numerous times before. Rice Paper is one of the popular Vietnamese restaurants at Eden because of their extensive menu. Their menu has something for everyone, whether you're doing family style and want to share multiple dishes or just want a nice bowl of noodle soup for yourself. The food is good most of the time. But the service is just terrible. Ambience: Interior design looks nice with the edison light bulbs and framed ceilings. I think the tables are quite close to each other, with only about a foot or two separating each table. Floors are very slippery for some reason, so be careful. Food: My favorite is the Bún Mắm Vĩnh Thuận because the broth is very balanced in flavor and has a lot of different proteins like squid, shrimp, pork belly, shrimp ball, and fish filet. I'd recommend it if you want to try something different from the typical pho or bun bo hue. The Hến Xúc Bánh Đa was not good because it was pretty salty. One of the most popular dishes at Rice Paper is the Cơm Tấm Đặc Biệt, which was average. The grilled pork was over cooked and a bit tough, and the wonton wrapped fried shrimp ball fresh was soft like it was cooked way ahead of time. Service: First of all, Rice Paper no longer serves complimentary waters and now charges for bottled waters, which I think is absolutely absurd for an award-winning restaurant. Secondly, based on the numerous times I've been to Rice Paper, I typically see more attentive and better service to diners who are non-Vietnamese. My server didn't even bother to ask if we wanted anything to drink. I guess since they stopped offering complimentary waters, they don't need to ask. Thirdly, I think it's worth mentioning they charge an automatic gratuity for a party of 6 or more people. I can understand this if the service was actually acceptable, but if you're Vietnamese and getting half-assed service, it's ridiculous to be charged 20% gratuity. It's like a slap in the face, to be honest. Overall, Rice Paper does put out some good Vietnamese food, but their service seriously needs drastic improvements. This level of service would be enough for me not to come back, but that Bun Mam has got me in a chokehold and I keep coming back whenever I'm craving for it.

One of the locals suggested Rice Paper for Vietnamese food so I decided to take my mom there for lunch. It's local in Eden Center which is the plaza to go to for Vietnamese food. There's a large parking there so parking isn't an issue although it does get quite busy. Ambiance wise, there's not much to it but the waiter we had was nice and checked in with us several times. The food here was good, better than other places I've tried in the area. The com dac biet dish was huge and the bun man had tons of seafood in it. The bun mam didn't have as much mam as if my mom were to cook it but it's understandable since it's a very strong flavor. We also ordered snails but they were smaller than usual so and not worth the price imo. The coconut sauce in the snails was decent but a little overpowering for the snails. Coffee was and lemonade were good. Note: there's no tap water here so if you're looking for water, you'd have to order bottled water. Overall a good experience.

2.5, really. This place is middle of the road. It's small with quite worn furniture - I think my chair was pretty low in the middle part of the cushion. Per usual, I got a vermicelli bowl with pork and spring roll. It was just ok. The vermicelli was cooked well but the pork was very thin and overcooked for my liking. The spring roll also had better days. It was thin and didn't seem freshly fried. Maybe it was just refried? Sigh. The staff was pleasant and quick but it was meh. With all the choices at Eden, this would be towards the bottom of my places to go.

The wait wasn't too bad on a busy Sunday afternoon around lunchtime. We did have to wait near the door and it was a bit crowded standing at the entrance but didn't have to wait very long. Staff forgot to give us menus so we had to ask, but they seemed friendly. Maybe a bit more attentive would be nice. The bathroom was clean for the most part, and the decorations seemed modern enough and not outdated. The food was delicious! Seemed very authentic and great flavors. Would definitely go back!

It was pretty good! Got lucky to avoid the wait since we were a party of two. Got the viet crepe, banh xeo. Good flavor only thing was that it kinda fell apart too easily. Solid BBH, you get two pork knuckles. The shaking beef bo luc lac was really good. Very juicy and tender.

Amazing authentic Vietnamese cuisine at Eden in Falls Church. Easy going restaurant with friendly waitstaff. We enjoyed the Seafood Combination Fried Rice (#37) and the Grilled Prawn Paste on Sugar Cane (#94). The numbers are the ones you'll find on the menu just in case you'd like to try! There is plenty of other shops, bubble tea, and dessert places to try after your meal.

I ordered the #18 (special rice dish that comes with just about every option) so I could try all the things. It was way too much for me and I walked away stuffed, if I'd had the option to take and refrigerate I should have packed up half of it but I wasn't going to be able to do that yesterday. The dish had grilled pork, shredded pork with what might have been rice noodles, a "meat loaf", shrimp paste in soy paper, shrimp spring roll, another spring roll, veggies, rice and an over-easy egg (that they called "egg custard" I think). Generous side of nuoc cham to go over it. I also ordered the Cafe su a da. (sp.) aka Vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk. The coffee had just the right balance of oomph and sweet for me. My only complaint was it was over iced and not a whole lot of liquid, so the portion wasn't super generous for the price, but the flavor was on point (for me... too sweet for my friend.) The protein items on my place that I enjoyed the most were the grilled pork, meat loaf and the shrimp paste in soy paper. I'd be good with either spring roll as well but I probably would skip the egg custard as I don't like runny yolk personally. So if I got another combo that had just the grilled pork, meat loaf and shrimp paste one that would be perfect. They also have a dish I remember fondly from my favorite Vietnamese place back in Arlington, TX which has great Vietnamese food - com ga roti. I definitely want to try that next time, as I haven't found too many places that serve it over the years. But I was craving grilled pork and such so went for the combo meal this time. They were very busy at lunch time on Weds., there were only one or two tables left when we arrived. Service was reasonably fast given the busy-ness of the restaurant.

The food was salty and greasy and the service was terrible. We got pho and bun bo hue, both had a thick layer of grease, the crispy egg rolls were literally swimming in oil and slightly burn with a texture that it was deep fried twice. If you come here, manage your expectations and bring your own water because they only have bottled water.

A casual vibe Vietnamese restaurant located in a corner of the Vietnamese-themed Eden center. We came in at around 5:15 pm during a weekend afternoon and there were still some tables. By the time we finished dining at 7 pm, there were already a decent waiting line for seats. Drinks: The restaurant does not offer tap water now, and we didn't want to order any drink, so we bought some coffee from the nearby coffee shop. Food---- Marinated beef: Beef was marinated nicely, beefy taste, tender texture. Went well with all the pickled and raw veggies. Would hope for a slightly bigger portion of beef for the price. Quail: four quarters of quail, broiled nicely with dark red skin, gamey meat texture, and sweet savory bites of crispy bones. A bit on the salty side though, probably could use a bit less soy sauce. Vietnamese hotpot: came with shrimps, tofu, mussels, fishballs, fried meatballs, beef, scallop, squid slices, generous portion of veggies, and a portion of vermicelli. Loved the shrimps (fresh and bouncy), fried meatballs (meaty bites), squid slices (chewy and fresh bites), mussels (no foul taste at all), and vermicelli (put it in after all the ingredients have been consumed and you get very savory vermicelli with broth). Would love the following things to change a bit: beef could be thinner slices; tofu could be fried tofu instead of tender regular tofu (too easy to break in hot soup); and fishballs need not to be sliced in half. Overall: four stars. For a meal of less than $40 per person, excellent food, with minor suggestions for imporvement.

I think this is more of a 3.5 stars place, but I'm rounding up because the crispy egg rolls were probably some of the best I've had! I came around noon on a Saturday and was able to get seated immediately. We got our orders taken shortly after, though it took a while to look through the menu since there are so many options. I ended up getting the vermicelli bowl with egg rolls. I was pretty sure I asked for the one with grilled pork and egg rolls together, but I'm not sure if I said the wrong number or the waiter took it down incorrectly. However, they refused to change it when asking. Nonetheless, the dish was great! The fish sauce it came with was probably one of the best I've had and had an extra complexity I havent really had before. The interior is quite nice and the overall ambiance is good. Would recommend!

Food is fresh and delicious. Went for a late lunch on a weekend and were seated right away. Service is fast. It can get super busy during peak hours. Would definitely recommend if you are wanting good Vietnamese cuisine.

I've been going to rice paper for like 10+ years and it's one of my favorites. Whenever I have friends or family visiting the area and they want to grab a meal at Eden Center, I always recommend rice paper. Every time I go, the restaurant is always packed and there is a line out the door of folks waiting to be seated. It is definitely worth the wait. They food comes out pretty quickly and they are able to flip the tables pretty fast but id recommend planning on some wait time if you go during lunch and dinner time. Some of my favorite dishes are: - Com Tam Dac Biet: Rice platter with grilled pork chop, tofu stuffed with shrimp paste, shrimp, fried egg, shredded pork, and shrimp rolls - Rice Paper Combo Platter: Grilled seafood, grilled pork, grilled ground beef wrapped in grape leaves, served with thin vermicelli patties - Goi Vit: Sweet tender Duck meat with innards on top of shredded banana blossom - Bun Dac Biet: Combination of Grilled Shrimp, Pork, Crispy Spring rolls, Shredded Pork Served Over Rice Vermicelli, Lettuce, Cucumbers, Pickled Carrots, Daikon Radish and Sprinkled with Ground Peanut & Fish Sauce - Mi Xao Don Do Bien: Crispy Yellow Noodles topped with Seafood & mixed vegetables stir-fired in brown sauce Would definitely recommend trying this spot if you're in the area!

Generally, I liked this place, but there were a few things you should note before trying. Ambiance: (3/5) The music was way too loud for my liking but I like the lights and booth seating. They have a nice clean aesthetic. I didn't realize until I finished eating but there was food on the ground right next to where I was sitting. Price: (4/5) They have standard prices for the area. Not too expensive but not super cheap. Food: (3.5/5) The food was good but not very flavorful. The shrimp was not season at all. The crab cakes were seasoned. The thick soup and thick rice noodles wee something different that I had not tried. I had the #67. Service: (3/5) I waited for a while for someone to come over to get my order. I was just looking at the staff and they seemed to be ignoring me. They did not even offer water. In conclusion, I liked trying something new but I don't think I would come back.

Service and restaurant itself is really barely 2 stars but for the food - will keep it at a 3. We were surprised at the start of our meal by being advised they no longer give out water, we have to BUY bottled water. What the heck? I know you have a sink back there to turn on some tap water! So be aware of that. Food flavor wise is still quite good. Lettuce on every plate seemed unwashed (bugs) - be aware. Probably some of the best cha gio and lotus salad around. The Thai iced tea was all sweetener, no iced tea. Overall, drinks are a pass..and I guess bring your own h2o.

Rice paper is tucked inside Eden center so there is plenty of parking in the shopping plaza. The inside isn't very spacious and it's a popular spot for sure. We got lucky and was able to get a table during prime Saturday lunch time. The classic pho comes in many beef meats combination. The broth is refreshing and just what I needed for a cold winter day. The beef was somewhat dry and difficult to chew so I was a bit disappointed especially after seeing the crowd here several times.

RATING 3.5 stars FOOD I came in on Wednesday for a late lunch with a friend and ordered the bò lúc lác. I was a little hesitant about how big the portion would be for the price tag but it was quite substantive. You do get a lot of meat for the amount given, but I wouldn't say it was completely worth it. That being said, the beef was marinated nicely and paired well with the veggies and rice. DRINKS Be warned that no water is served complementarily at the restaurant. Any drinks sought must be bought. SERVICE Service was as expected-- nothing of note. AMBIANCE The music can be a little loud, and with the place usually busy, everyone was trying to talk over each other. You could hear everyone's conversations which can be a downside when you're trying to focus on your own table. The music played ranged from Korean to Vietnamese pop songs. PARKING Ample parking is available that is shared by neighboring vendors of Eden Center. It can be difficult to find parking depending on the time of day/week, but you'll eventually find one after you hunt around.

They don't offer free water and only charge for bottled - major red flag. It might not be illegal to not offer water, but it's 100% a d*** move towards your customers. Especially if you're trying to charge $16 for a bowl of pho Everything here is extremely overpriced and catered towards gentrification, $3-$4 more than the places around it which is asinine. Aside from that, our group ordered 5 dishes and the last one came out 15+ minutes after everyone else's when it was the same type of dish as someone else's - clearly they forgot hers.

Used to go here all the time as a teen, but I don't remember the service being this terrible. After we ordered and they brought out the food, they didn't check up on us at all. They saw our plates were cleared and still did not come up to us. After waiting for awhile, we had to wave them down for the check. Even then, they just stood from afar and did charades with a hand signal signifying a check. What if we wanted to order something else? At least our food came out really quickly, but it didn't seem too fresh. Cơm Tấm Đặc Biệt, specifically from Rice Paper, has always been a favorite of mine, but it's not the same as it used to be. The pork chop was small, and the bì barely had any pork in it (it's mostly filler). Despite this, I still enjoyed the dish overall in terms of flavor. I was disapponted in their poor service more than the food quality. The restaurant is also really tight and I don't like the ambiance. I will not be returning and I don't recommend this place.

One of several places I want to try at Eden's. Everything here was tasty. Got the 42 which was a soup recommended by the waiter and it was delicious. Also had the rice paper wraps: tasty! I need to come back here and taste their classic pho.

A perfect balance of great food and good price, albeit in a rough environment. We had 4 meals for 4 people and brought enough for 2 people home.

Ambiance is modern and inviting. Service is pleasant, but lacking attentiveness. However, the food is good. Pho is rich, maybe a bit oily, but flavorful. It is above average, in my opinion. The beef congee is very good. I would recommend the summer rolls. All in all, this is a solid Vietnamese establishment, and I can overlook the service for the flavorful food.

Beautiful luxury modern interior design. Very popular place full of people all of the time. Clab clay pot I'd my absolute favorite!! I also gave picture of pho and egg rolls. I was a bit disappointed they don't serve tap water and charge for bottle water.

Mr H and I talk about the food here quite often. Wonderful blend of Vietnamese flavors and tradition. Rice Paper is always busy when we come for a meal. Our picky daughter also loved the various chicken dishes!

You don't go here for the pho or the ban xeo. Pho is on the sweeter end instead of savory and the ban xeo had a very strong coconut flavor that was too overwhelming by for me. I think they also cooked with egg batter rather than using a lot of mung beans. Though they did stuff it with a lot of bean sprouts, pork slices, mushrooms, and shrimp. Anything with wraps however were quite yummy. Hubby ordered bbq'd pork and shrimp with noodles and herbs that he rolled in rice paper. Quite yummy. I didn't get to take a picture of it. By the time I remembered to, hubby had gone to town on his plate. I would try it again but order the restaurant's namesake. Customer service was good. Food came out fast.
