    Spring rolls with beef, chicken and shrimp
    Christina F.

    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!

    Shrimp, tofu, and pork belly as proteins for my spring rolls
    Cyl C.

    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!

    Food always tastes fresh , fresh spring are always the best in this hot weather, service is nice and courteous, I've come a few times here and it's always consistent, you have your selections of items that you want in your rolls , they also have banh sandwiches as well as bowls the weekends can be hard to find parking I'd recommend going the weekday, there's seating inside as well as outdoor.

    chicken and beef spring rolls

    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.

    Food is fantastic; I always visit because I really enjoy their spring rolls and sticky rice. They are fresh, delicious, and very healthy. However, the service leaves much to be desired, as the staff often seem impatient and show little interest in customer care.

    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.

    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.

    love getting spring rolls here. it's super healthy and you can customize literally everything that goes into it. i love the tofu here, which is surprising as i'm a meat eater. the meat is good too, but i love how light and healthy the tofu is, well seasoned and cooked. the little crisp eggroll inside gives an amazing crunch. like a little salad roll. always roll thru here with my coworkers and we love to sit outside on the beautiful patio. such a vibe!!!

    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!

    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.

    Pork belly, chicken, and shrimp
    Mr. Juan D.

    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!

    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!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with exceptional customer service from Angie. She was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel valued as customers. It's not every day that you come across someone who is not only friendly but also takes the time to make your experience feel personal and enjoyable. As for the food it was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. After working up an appetite on the trail, this meal hit the spot. The ingredients were vibrant, the portions were generous, and every bite was packed with flavor. Ambiance inside was a 10/10 but it was a nice day so we decided to eat outside. Between the outstanding food and Angie's wonderful customer service, this visit exceeded our expectations. Employees like Angie are the reason customers come back. We'll definitely be returning to this Whittier location soon!

There are some things I'd like to mention that have already been said in other reviews, if you just scroll down. The portion sizes are ridiculous compared to other Cava locations I've been to. It's almost like a joke to even serve the sorry a** bowls that they do. Make no mistake--this is not the workers' fault. I feel like a lot of the heat gets placed on the workers, but they're only doing what is required of them. It's the managers, the boss, and the team that comes by to train the workers to serve a specific amount of each ingredient. This is a slap in the face. You're playing with people who work hard for their money, giving them ridiculous portions at full price, all to pocket more money. I know there's someone from the business side of Cava on here who responds to these reviews telling us to submit further critiques on their website, but what good is that doing if you still haven't listened to the concerns of your customers and changed the portion sizes? It angers me because I see what this business is doing, and they're doing it right in front of our faces while the workers take the heat, all for extra profit. I'm not f***ing with it. I'm passionate about this review because this feels like straight-up robbery of people's money, and this location does not care. PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT CAVA until this one actually listens to its customers and makes changes.

As we waited, I started noticing something interesting: two parties who came in after us were seated immediately. Then almost 30 minutes went by. At that point, I poked my head back in and said, "Hey, we put our name down about 30 minutes ago, and I've noticed people coming in and getting seats." Immediately, the hostess who originally helped us said, "Yes, yes... sorry about that. You can choose a table right now." So apparently our table had been available in the Witness Protection Program. To make matters worse, we were seated next to one of the parties that arrived after us, and we got to enjoy the thrilling experience of watching them receive their food before we even ordered. The food itself was good overall. The only miss for me was the mac and cheese, which tasted like KFC mac and cheese that had a passionate encounter with a jar of jalapeño juice. Would I come back? Maybe. The food was decent, but for a first visit, the service definitely left a stronger impression than the meal did.
