First time at paper rice, I am mad I had not been there before. The spring rolls and delicious. I tried shrimp and beef although they were both good shrimp had to be my favorite. You can add anything you want to them and they give you sauces to choose from to dip it in. Staff is super friendly they were answering questions I had and suggesting items. read more

Date of visit: January 16, 2026 Selections: Build Your Own Spring Rolls (3) - Tofu - Shrimp - Pork Belly Experience: After taking a quick look around Rodeo 72, I settled for this location since I was intrigued about making my own spring rolls. I ended up choosing tofu, shrimp, and pork belly as my three different proteins, asked for the house mix for both the toppings and veggies since I was super indecisive so I appreciated the pre-mixed selections. Just be mindful that of the pre-mixes comes with peanuts for those who are allergic. I also requested for noodles to be added and the crunchy egg roll skin to be added too (not sure what it is called for sure but I needed that crunch texture since it is all soft ingredients without it in the rolls). Shrimp was definitely my top and then tofu with the pork belly being last. I think it was just a texture thing mostly for me with the pork belly because of how soft and fatty the pieces were. I did wish the tofu was seasoned a bit, but the sauce helped. Would definitely come back to try their other protein options! read more

I love the vegan/vegetarian options! The rolls with tofu are my favorite item, always stuffed with fillings and rolled tightly and neatly. I love that they wrap each individual roll with plastic so they don't dry out or stick to each other. It's a game changer. The sauces are amazing too. The staff and owner are super nice! read more

It was fantastic! Loved that I could build my own rolls and try most of the proteins. My favorite was the beef. The staff were nice and efficient. Everything inside was clean and neat. Liked the peanut sauce. Will be back! read more

I got to try Paper Rice for the first time this week. Immediately, I was greeted by their friendly staff. I was hesitant about the 3 rolls not being enough. To my surprise, I did indeed feel full and even shared my 3rd roll. I chose the chicken and beef option. I love both, but beef was my favorite. The food was good and it tasted so fresh. They keep the place clean and the service was fast. There's plenty of setting at Rodeo. I will be returning in the near future. read more

Paper Rice - chicken and beef spring rolls - Vietnamese Near Me - Whittier, California

This is one of my favorite eateries at Rodeo 72. My favorite dish is the Thai Basil Fried Rice, I've had with chicken and BBQ Pork. Both were delicious, full of flavors, and just very good The staff were amazing, polite, and attentive. I will definitely be back! read more

I like how the beef bahn mi sandwich is a bit on the sweet side, but the second time I tried it, it was a little saltier. Nonetheless, this is my new favorite sandwich spot! A local acquaintance brought me here, and always gets extra mayo on it...which is good, but it's a little too saucy for me. I think the ratio of the fillings is super proportionate, and the packaging is so cute. I've kept the sticker, and think their concept is really simple and clean. It definitely beats Lee's Sandwiches or Banh Mi Che Cali (even though that's one of my all-time favorites), when it comes to quality and atmosphere. read more

Delicious fresh custom spring rolls! This place is like the chipotle of spring rolls where you can choose what you want inside and they quickly make it in front of you assembly line style. Compared to other similar dishes, price is a tad high at 3 for $14.75 but for the quality and being able to customize a bit more it's still acceptable. Grilled beef was nice and had a char flavor and the shrimp crispy roll inside was a fan favorite! Some folks in our group also tried the garlic shrimp and said it was fresh and plump. Loved the house dipping sauce; it's a flavor explosion and the perfect kick from the spices. We also tried the peanut sauce and citrus sauce and both were also super flavorful depending on your mood. Since we ordered 3 sets we noticed some slight inconsistency in how many toppings they put on since it's just them eyeballing. One had two little mints and like 5 bean sprouts but didn't want to be difficult so just let it be. The employees were ok but we felt when we first entered they almost looked annoyed that customers came in to order as it was empty inside. Was not a top customer service experience but I'm more of a food taste person so not that big of a deal especially considering they looked like high school age. I'll still likely have this place in my lunch rotations! read more

If you're a spring roll lover (or even if you're not), do yourself a favor and try them here. The meat is seasoned well--juicy, flavorful, and clearly made with care. You get to choose your own toppings and every roll is packed with fresh, colorful extras that add a ton of flavor and crunch. But the real surprise? There's a layer of crunchy puff pastry inside the roll. It adds the perfect crispy texture with every bite. The dipping sauces are also delicious --tangy, bold, and seriously addictive. Bonus: service is super quick and friendly. A total win all around! read more

Wow this place is amazing. It's located inside rodeo 72. The service there is great. They're very friendly and helped me through the ordering process. I tried the beef and chicken spring rolls and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend. The only downside is I do think it is a little on the pricey side but it is worth it for sure. read more

I really like this place for springs rolls, I'm super picky about them. My favorite is the shrimp and tofu. It's located in a good spot with other food around. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is the workers don't say hi and ask if your ready to order right away. But other than that I do recommend this place for spring rolls read more

The concept of building your own spring rolls is great. I will say, they are a little stingy with the filling but the taste is great. I tried the pork, beef, and chicken. The meat was perfectly flavored but the beef was my favorite. The employees are all really nice and the line goes by pretty quickly. Will definitely try again. read more

While out in the Whittier area with a buddy, we decided to finally check out Rodeo 72, the new food hall that's been buzzing all over Instagram. The first spot that grabbed my attention? Paper Rice. And let me tell you--this place is not just a clever name. It's a full-on flavor experience. I tried three rolls: chicken, shrimp, and pork belly. Each one was packed fresh, rolled tight, and stacked with balanced flavor. The ingredients tasted crisp and clean, and the texture was spot on--especially the pork belly, which was next-level. But the real MVP? That spicy sauce. It's bold, tangy, and just the right kind of heat. Not "send help" spicy, but the kind that wakes up your entire palate and makes you question how spring rolls ever existed without it. Customer service was on point--friendly, quick, and helpful. The overall vibe of Rodeo 72 was upbeat but not overcrowded, which made for a chill eating experience with just enough energy. Paper Rice honestly feels like Chipotle but for spring rolls--custom, fast, and way too easy to become obsessed with. Can't wait to go back and mix up some new combos. This spot is a must if you're in the area! read more

Paper Rice - Pork belly, chicken, and shrimp - Vietnamese Near Me - Whittier, California

I was so excited when I heard paper rice was opening in Whittier! I love their spring rolls so much but Pasadena was a little far for me. Their spring rolls and sauces are chefs kiss and tastes very authentic. I also LOVE their xoi chien (sticky rice patty) that I cannot find anywhere else. SO crispy and the flavor is yum! It's filled with pork, shrimp and mushrooms, a must try! For dessert I got their Vietnamese coffee and Pandan mochi Bundt cake. The coffee was strong, just how I like my Vietnamese coffee. The Pandan cake was soft, chewy with just the right amount of sweetness, SO GOOD. Their staff were friendly and efficient. There's always a good vibe One of my favorite places to eat! read more

Took my spring rolls to go and there was a white hair in my spring roll! I literally pulled it out of my mouth. Gross!

I ordered the vegetarian spring rolls with tofu and they were amazing! The largest spring rolls I've ever had. Fresh ingredients, large pieces of tofu, and they add a crispy stick that ties everything together for the perfect bite. The server asked me if I was vegan since I ordered tofu and was kind to let me know which sauces are vegan/vegetarian friendly. I appreciated this so much! Worth the long line and wait. The portion is enough for two meals for me. read more

Delicious vegan tofu bahn mi we dipped in the soy sauce. We created spring rolls with tofu. Delicious peanut sauce s too!

Paper Rice at Rodeo 72 is pretty good. The food is fresh with clean flavors, and it's a nice option when you're in the mood for something light. The staff is friendly and the service is solid. It's located inside the Rodeo 72 plaza, which has plenty of seating, but parking can be rough depending on the time of day. Only reason it's not 5 stars is the pricing. About $5 per roll for mostly lettuce and veggies feels a bit steep, but you get some fire dipping sauces. Still worth checking out if you're nearby. read more

Very tasty spring rolls, I got the pork belly and shrimp. The spicy sauce was good with both. You get to pick your vegetables and toppings as you walk down the line. Pricey for some spring rolls but a tasty treat. Parking was super packed on a Friday night but no big deal. Service was standard. And ambiance is to go. read more

Went to Paper Rice inside of Rodeo72 food mall tonight and it was so yummy! It was our first time there, we were treated by the staff and ordered the 3 spring rolls. They guided us through the process, choosing our meats, veggies and sauces. I tried 3 different meats in my 3 rolls and added lots of veggies! They helped me pick a sauce I would like that was a little sweeter, and I was so happy with all of it! The Rodeo72 food mall is awesome with lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and even entertainment, too! read more

Bahn mi, yes please! Number 1 thing, how's the bread?! It was delicious, just on the money! Enough crunch and super fresh. Not to mention they did not disappoint with their pork chunks. May try something else next time, but will definitely be ordering the pork bahn min. read more

Great tasting spring rolls, what really makes the difference is fried mini roll inside that gives it that extra texture to the whole experience. My favorite place to go now. Service is great and they are quick at rolling. It is located inside a food court so if you go with a group there are more options for everyone. Highly recommend you try it. read more

I normally get there tofu spring rolls with extra jalapeños but this time I got the bahn mi with tofu extra veggies & jalapeños plus spicy sauce. I am a meat kinda girl but I love their tofu dishes. Their food is so fresh and tasty! read more

Love the beef spring rolls! Quick easy and convenient. If you have never tried them give it a shot

9.5 out of 10 for the food hall in general. This spot is one of the best in the Rodeo 72 premium spots because of the cleanliness of the assembly with a cute entrance! IYKYK The food hall in general has a fly problem that's easily solved by closing the garage door by the bar. Recommend to buy more sauce as their signature peanut sauce is not enough for 3 rolls. read more

Tried Paper Rice for the first time-I was hesitant since I'm vegetarian and I'm never "sure" about new places. I was blown away!! Had tofu spring rolls and the tofu Banh mi. Both were so flavorful and filling. The employees were so kind and helpful. I can't wait to bring my family here! read more

I was so excited that they brought Paper Rice to Whittier! I've know about the location in Pasadena but, have never been and finally got to try it today. 5 Stars on the food. It was fab! My gripe with this location was the service. I've never been here before and the process of how to order was not explained to me and my requests for adding extra pork (while the employees talked amongst themselves) were simply ignored. Additionally, although I was the only person in line it felt like I was being rushed and they kind of looked at me dumbfounded when I didn't know what they were talking about (referencing toppings). The location itself was great very clean and GREAT options but, the service definitely needs improvement. read more

Delicious! Got the lemongrass chicken bowl over mixed greens. So fresh and crisp. I will definitely eat here more soon!

This spot totally hit the mark! The sautéed beef and braised pork belly were incredibly flavorful--tender, savory, and perfectly cooked. I had mine with rice noodles and jasmine white rice, both of which were delicious. The mixed greens were crisp and fresh, adding the perfect balance to the rich meats. The traditional house sauce tied everything together beautifully, and while the savory peanut sauce was just okay, it didn't take away from how satisfying the whole bowl was. This meal was absolutely worth it, and I'll definitely be back again. Highly recommend! The service was excellent for me as a first timer here. They helped out with any questions I had. Today was hot and it was fresh in the little place. It was clean and bright inside read more

I went in when there was not a line because this place is usually very busy. They give you a lot of options to pick for your rolls which is awesome and you can even get 3 different proteins for each 3 pack roll. But the employees aren't very helpful when I had a questions about the selections because they seemed annoyed instead of helpful. I was excited to try them from this chain for the first time and it was a huge let down. It was not very flavorful and I've made way better spring rolls at home as an amateur. I did try the citrus - ginger( I think that is what's called) dip and it was great. Maybe the only redeeming item about these rolls. I can only assume all of the dips are all of great quality and taste. read more

That fried roll makes a difference! I lovvvvvee this place!! Best combination! Ban mi are soooo good too!!! Wish they had pho!

Poor customer service. The guy who work there doesn't seem to want to be there working. Talking not so friendly.

Love them spring rolls. I recommend everyone give them a try. Why must I have 85 characters in my post?

My first time there, a couple weeks ago with a friend of more than 60 years. We are old girls, and somehow didn't know how to order these! There had just been a power outage a little bit before we arrived, but the staff was so professional, and at that moment we were the only customers just for a few seconds. So they explained everything, suggested things and made our first experience so enjoyable! They provided us the sauces to enjoy the rolls. I would definitely go there again, and if you've never tried it, they will explain everything! Delicious and healthy I would say! read more
