this vietnamese restaurant has authentic vietnamese cuisine with sizeable portions. the restaurant can get very busy, especially at night, so service can sometimes be quite hasty and the seating is very tight to fit as many customers inside as possible. the prices here are slightly higher than inala and even 'that viet place' in sunnypark. the portion sizes are slightly smaller although still quite big but more pricey.
we ordered the special beef noodle soup which was had a very authentic pho beef broth. the soup was generous but there was not a lot of beef pieces or noodles. this is a very hearty dish because of the special broth but it is not very filling as there are not many ingredients.
the combination vermicelli is quite pricey at $15.90 as it includes several ingredients: sugarcane prawn, spring roll, grilled pork ball, lemongrass pork and shredded pork. whilst all these ingredients are included, only very small quantities of each are presented. i would recommend ordering a rice vermicelli dish with just the one component (i.e. prawn, pork ball, etc.) instead of the combination option. once again, the portion sizes are smaller than inala and other vietnamese restaurant locations. however, the flavours are quite great!
rice paper vietnamese cuisine is a great location for some vietnamese food, however, i think i will return to vietnamese food at inala and other locations. whilst the food here is quite tasty, there are other locations that will provide the same service and food for a significantly lower price!
