The place is cute and clean but the food is priced above what they offer. Almost 6$ for coconut water is crazy.

Ahhh so happy the Azusa paper rice finally opened! This will definitely be a go to of mine! It's so stinkin cute inside, so much more vibrant, decorated & bright inside compared to the Pasadena location! Parking lot next door is free too so that's a huge plus!! Came in today with my mom & we were the first to order so no line so loved that it was quick. I got my usual order of 3 spring rolls all nem (: Traditional citrus sauce & spicy sauce are my favorite go to options for dipping! Got the lychee limeade & strawberry limeade both super refreshing & delicious! All the employees were super sweet & personable. So they made the visit easy! Tried the pandan mochi cake for the first time today & it was quite yummy! Glad I gave it a try(: Yay can't wait to come back! read more

The food taste good. But the portion is too small for the price they charge. Hope they can be more generous with the salad and noodles base. I dont feel too full after eating a bowl. And I am not a big eater at all. read more

Paper Rice - Spring BOWL - Vietnamese Near Me - Azusa, California

Oh man, I've been waiting for something like this for quite some time. I always wondered why no one came out with a concept like this. Is it pricey? Yeah, a little bit however - I think its pretty worth it. I got the 3 roll with 2 pork belly & 1 shrimp. I love that you can really customize it to your liking. They had all my usual toppings as well so that was a huge plus. I also got a beef rice bowl for my husband. The only downside to this is that I can usually put away 10 rolls when I get it at home...so... yeah LOL But love the concept, love the food & the LYCHEE LEMONADE IS SO GOOD read more

Wouldn't say I love it, wouldn't say I hate it. I've had better Vietnamese food for lesser price , that tastes better...& with that being said, it's Definitely on the expensive side. But what really made me give 2 stars , was their customer service !!! Both times I've gone in , I didn't get any welcoming greeting, not even a smile. Terrible customer service will keep me away from a business. read more

Clean, quick service, tasty food, good portions, decent pricing. I got the beef and shrimp. Lots of flavor. I also got cafe su da. It was so strong. Yum The house spicy sauce has a nice strong kick and delicious. Summer is coming and this is the perfect food to keep cool read more

We came here to try their vegan options after waiting for this location to open up in Azusa, since we can walk from our house. We had seen the menu online for the Pasadena location, but had never eaten there. When we arrived around mid day on a Saturday (after being open 1-2 days at that point), it was empty, but while we ate, several parties trickled in. We were initially surprised when we went to order the BÁNH MÌ and Spring Bowl with tofu, and were told that the way the tofu is prepared contained honey, but the more experienced woman working let us know they can prepare a separate batch of tofu for us with soy sauce . They proceeded to make the BÁNH MÌ in the back kitchen and with the remaining tofu I ordered my Spring Bowl with rice, mixed greens, carrots, cucumber, sprouts, sesame seeds, and peanut sauce; I wanted to get an order of spring rolls as well, but I did not let them know when they initially prepared the tofu in the back, so they only prepared enough for the sandwich and the bowl. When we went to pay, we were also given a complimentary vegan sauce (I believe it was the citrus one), which my husband used for his sandwich since it didn't have any sauce (since it usually comes with Mayo). He said next time he'd get the peanut sauce as well, in addition to the citrus one to have dipping options. I thought my Spring Bowl tasted great and my husband enjoyed his BÁNH MÌ overall. We ordered an unsweetened black tea and pineapple guava juice (half and half), and a lychee lemonade; I loved the lychee lemonade; my husband said that maybe he would mix the tea with lychee lemonade for an even better mixed drink (a Lychee Arnold Palmer). We ate inside by the window to people watch; I love it when restaurants have seating facing the window to people watch. Overall, everyone was very nice, welcoming, and accommodating. My only suggestion is to have the tofu marinate be vegan not just vegetarian, as honey can be replace by agave nectar, pure maple syrup, date syrup, or vegan honeys made from apples. read more

I've been waiting for Paper Rice to open for a while and followed them via IG. So when I saw they were having a soft opening yesterday, my dinner plans were set!! It was a bit of a nightmare for parking since Azusa had the farmer's market going on but we parked across the street by the rite aid. Think of Paper Rice as the Chipotle of Vietnam, you pick your base, your protein, your veggies, your toppings and your sauce! Everything was soo good, super light, fresh crunchy veggies. Loved the grilled shrimp, and my nem was delicious and almost as good as my mom's The BF got the sautéed salad and it was soo good, the warm dressing, grilled beef and shrimp. The perfect Bowl balance and filling! The lychee limeade is SO good!! read more

I'm happy to see this new Vietnamese restaurant in Azusa, such a nice surprise! I ordered the Spring Rolls which I thought were delightful -- the crispy egg roll shell was a crunchy surprise, and creative. I also had the Bánh Mì which, unfortunately, I was underwhelmed by. I found it dry overall and the bread tasted stale. I also ordered a pineapple-guava juice which was delicious! Overall, I liked it but there's definitely improvement needed for their Bánh Mì sandwich. Still, the spring rolls were tasty enough for me to give four stars. read more

I was happy to see this place opened. Saves me a trip to Pasadena. You can have spring rolls made the way you like. Choose up to 3 proteins. You can try different proteins. If not there is a bowl option too. There are other items like bahn mi sandwiches. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Service was great from the friendly staff. Parking is in the complex. Great to have Paper Rice close by. read more

Hmmm. I've been to the Pasadena location many times and service there is always great, fast, efficient and everything tastes fresh. This location I guess is still figuring it out i suppose. Both times I've been to this location the service has been just ok, nothing special. Notably, I went in one evening and one of the employees was using his phone WITH HIS GLOVES ON, TWICE and then proceeded to make someone's door dash order, basically contaminating everything he was touching. I had to ask him to change his gloves because he was just about to finish rolling my rolls (thankfully i got all the toppings I needed before he dipped his gloves into the toppings). The manager? saw and didn't seem to care and wasn't really apologetic about the situation. this threw me off. I was super excited about this location since it's so close to home, I think I'll give them a few months to figure it out before I return. read more

Highly, highly recommend. I can honestly say I've been here nearly every week. I enjoy that you can custom build the spring rolls. All of the meats taste great but the nem sausage and beef are my favorites. I love that I can load it up with veggies so it can feel less guilty but still taste delicious. You can order spring rolls or bowls, both great options. Service has always been amazing, very kind employees, and speedy ordering. The inside is small but there are plenty of tables inside. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place ! I love a build your own situation and the fact that the quality of everything is so good and so fresh is amazing. i've been going to the pasadena location for the last few years and am SO happy that they opened a location closer to me. I personally love their fried tofu spring rolls and the shrimp. something about the crispy eggroll inside is delish. I also got to try their Vietnamese coffee and it was sooo good. beware though, it is very stronggg. the workers were very nice and it looks cute Inside and very clean. please check this place out so we can keep it open and thriving! read more

I love Paper Rice and I'm so happy this location opened! Only a few blocks from my house, I don't have to drive to Pasadena all the time. Same great ingredients you're used to and all the delicious sauces. I've had all the proteins here and they are all great, at least 1 nem every time is a must though! Always yes to the crispies! Always get the mix for the dry ingredients. House spicy and citrus ginger are my favorite sauces, but again you can't go wrong with any of them. read more

My go to place when I go to Pasadena for Vietnamese roll is close to work. I got my usual order of the three rolls. This time I got chicken, nem, and shrimp. All of which had a pretty good flavor profile. The dipping sauces adds a whole new dimension to the dish. My Taniuis are the citrus and peanut sauce. The service was efficient and the place was clean. Great place to have a quick meal read more

Ordered the tofu rolls online. When I went in they asked if I was vegetarian (I am). When I responded in the affirmative they let me know that their citrus sauce is fish based so they put in a vegan citrus sauce just in case. Perfect customer service. I will be back often. Edit: I would also like to suggest a non honey sweetener. read more

Fresh and delicious Vietnamese Spring Rolls and Bowls! This new location is conveniently located near the parking structure. The space is clean and modern, but dine in seating might little limited during busy hours. But their food is perfect to carry out and enjoy at home, a picnic, or even on a road trip! The service team was efficient and friendly. Can't wait to come back to try other combinations!! My favorite order is the BYO Spring Rolls with the Baked Nem, Lettuce Base, House Mix Veggies & Herbs + Mint, and a side of the Traditional Citrus Sauce! read more

Food was great. Had it once and decided to give a 2nd go. Service - TERRIBLE. The girl that helped me had the worst attitude! It's too bad that the service caused their rating to drop 3 stars. read more

This place is the perfect go-to spot. Healthy, tasty, and fresh. The ordering system is like chipotle/cava but for Vietnamese food, like spring rolls/bowls. Love the vibe and decor. There are some indoor and outdoor seating. Also located in downtown Azusa. Plenty of parking, just scattered all over the area. read more

A Vietnamese vermicelli / spring roll restaurant, with the modern twist that you specify the ingredients (protein, add-ins, sauce, toppings). This let me reflect on my experience and think that perhaps having complete control of what goes into your meal makes it easier to be introduced to unfamiliar cuisines. Clean, with friendly service. read more

Saw that this place was almost done moving in and finally my wife and I came to try it out. Parking was easy to find and free and there was no line. The food was quick and delicious! We got 3 spring rolls (lemongrass chicken, beef, and garlic shrimp) with the house mix of veggies and all the toppings. We chose the citrus fish sauce for our dipping and it was amazing! We also got 2 Banh Mi's, one with the backed nem and one with the pork belly. They were fantastic, the bread wasn't too crunchy and still soft. Overall, still better than Mr Baguette and Lees Sandwiches. We also got the Lychee Limeade (amazing) and the Vietnamese coffee. Overall, I would definitely go again! The only grip I had was it was a touch expensive, after everything the food was about $60 with tip. read more

We were really excited to try Rice Paper in Azusa and wanted to support a local restaurant. Unfortunately, our first impression was disappointing. From the moment we walked in, there was no greeting, no smile, and no acknowledgment from the staff. Customer service sets the tone for the entire dining experience, and we immediately felt like our presence wasn't appreciated. The food was good, but in today's restaurant market, good food alone isn't enough. Especially in Azusa, where there are countless dining options, including more fast-food restaurants within a square mile than many communities, restaurants need to create an experience that makes customers want to return. When prices are higher than average, friendly and attentive service becomes even more important. We genuinely want to see small, independent restaurants succeed, especially those bringing something different to the area. However, without warm hospitality and a stronger connection with customers, it's difficult to stand out. We hope Rice Paper takes this feedback to heart because the potential is there, but memorable customer service is just as important as memorable food. read more

Paper Rice is a Vietnamese Cuisine located on Foothill in Azusa. This cuisine has a vast selection of Vietnamese-style breads and spring rolls, along with appetizers. The spring rolls and bread are freshly made when ordered. There is plenty of parking located inside the structure. The staff there were nice, friendly, and enthusiastic. Brianna was extremely helpful and friendly when providing services. I purchased xoi chien, which is the crispy sticky rice patty with minced pork and vegetables inside and shrimp egg rolls shown in this picture. I also love the guava lychee drink that they have there. The ambience of the restaurant is chill and relax. They have both inside and outdoor tables for dinning. read more

Paper rice is so delicious, refreshing and fun to eat. We love the one in pasadena so we're glad one is open closer to us. Super good, the classic citrus sauce is amazing and so refreshing. Great meat options. Roughly $14-17 for a bowl so it isn't cheap but worth it ! read more

We were so excited for this place to open in Azusa, so maybe our expectations were a little high. My daughter picked up a simple takeout order--build-your-own spring rolls. You'd think that's one of the harder things to mess up... but somehow, here we are. The order wasn't made correctly, the shrimp seemed to have misplaced its flavor somewhere along the way, and the beef came in like it had something to prove. The MVP of the meal was definitely the pork sausage. Unfortunately, for the price, we expected a lot better. Hoping this was just an off day because we'd really love to see them succeed in Azusa. read more

It's on the pricier side, but the food is flavorful and refreshing. The spring rolls are pretty big, juicy and crunchy. And the bahn mi was crispy and zesty. The sauces are really good too. A 3 pack of spring rolls and a sandwich together will cost you about $33, but it is worth trying if you're in the downtown Azusa area. The service too is good: they're patient and helpful. read more

My sister and I came in right at opening time while the workers seemed to prepare a large order. My sister and I patiently waited for our turn since we knew they were a bit busy but we didn't mind. As we waited, the manager was so kind enough to give us an extra sauce to try along with two free drinks for the wait. We were really grateful for the kind gesture and did not expect that at all. The food here is so good, super fresh, and tasty. I had the spring rolls and my sister had the bowl, which we both really enjoyed. The service provided was amazing as well. We really appreciated the manager for providing us with excellent customer service. I would come back again. 10/10! read more

Went with my daughter she ordered 3 rolls and added one for me.chicken,shrimp and steak. The chicken one was great and the citrus ginger sauce was light and fresh It was very tasty Will definitely go back and get a bowl read more

My daughter picked up some to go. We ordered beef, chicken and shrimp spring rolls. They were good, but a bit pricey. 3 rolls for one order did not fill us up. They are a bit bigger than the spring rolls you get at a Vietnamese restaurant, but 3 for $14 is not something we can splurge on often. read more

Saw that there was a build your own spring roll, spring bowl and they have banh mi in Azusa and just had to try it out ! Great location and place is very clean. Few seats inside but there is outdoor seating as well. Service was great, they were very friendly and explained everything to us. My friend ordered a build your own spring bowl and we could see all the meat choices and they all looked delicious. From the beef, the chicken, pork belly, shrimp, and nem... we wanted to try them all. My friend was able to pick 2 meats and she chose the shrimp and beef. She said they were so tender and flavorful. She was able to build her bowl with the type a noodle or rice and customize her veggies to her liking. I got a banh mi with the pork belly and it was soo satisfying. I loved the crispy bread with the fresh veggies just complimented the meat perfectly. The skinny shrimp rolls were soo crunchy and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more items! read more

Love, love, love this place! This is like a Vietnamese Chipotle - build your own spring rolls, bowls, banh mi. Ingredients are fresh, sauces are delicious, great customer service. My hubby and I ordered four spring rolls, and we were able to choose different proteins for each roll, so we went with two chicken, tofu, and shrimp. Our preferred sauces are the traditional citrus and savory peanut. We used to frequent the Pasadena location often, and the quality of the food was comparable to that location. We are so happy that we have one closer to home with more seating and expedient service. read more

First time here and I ordered the spring rolls. I got one with baked nem, one tofu and one shrimp, and on all three the leafy lettuce, cucumber, cilantro and pickled carrots, "the mix" topping, and the savory peanut sauce. I also tried the bánh bò nướng (the pandan mochi cake). I really enjoyed my meal. I think most of the time I've had spring rolls premade, which are still good, but I really enjoyed trying the different proteins and the freshness of the fillings. This is a delicious, light meal to have on a hot day. I felt full but not stuffed. The pandan cake was also delicious and not overly sweet. If you arent familiar with pandan it has a coconut flavor to it. I couldn't finish it all along with the spring rolls so I saved some for later. I parked in a nearby lot behind Max's Mexican cuisine and Momo lashes. I like how they constructed and wrapped the spring rolls very well and you can tell a lot of thought went into the details like the packaging. My only suggestion is that they look at the tab closure design of the takeout box the rolls come in because it likes to pop open. The employees were efficient and pleasant. I still enjoy going to the mom-and-pop vietnamese restaurants around but this is a different experience and it's fun to customize the menu items to your liking and try new fillings. I'll be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Quick bite something light to get me through the day lots of seating spring rolls were decent but the Vietnamese coffee was horrible it was so strong it was not drinkable.
