Only had a snack there so can't comment much on the food except to say it was nice, but the Hanoi spring rolls did not come with wrapping lettuce only some small loose pieces. When busy you need to share tables with other patrons. Reasonably priced menu.

Lovely experience with the rice paper roll, phó and vermicelli here😍😍😍my Vietnamese friend took me here after 5 years nagging for phó! The soup is gourmet, the rice paper roll is very fresh, and the ambience is subtle but doesn't lose its classy. Will come back again soon!

Tried their crispy chicken noodle and soft shell crab noodle with gravy. Both are delicious. Chicken is cooked to perfection, crispy skin with moist meat underneath. The soft shell crab noodle is tasty and comforting. Recommended.

Being Vietnamese myself I crave Vietnamese food all the time and always finding myself needing a fix. This Vietnamese restaurant on Swanston street is not home cooking but is pretty close without it being too diluted. We had the Bun Bo Hue which is the Vietnamese Beef Spicy Soup (lemongrass and chilli) and Bun Rieu noodle soup ( crab and tomato) - definitely hit the spot on a cold winters day

Had the bbq chicken noodle salad with avocado smoothie.

It tasted good. But I was a bit shocked for the vermicelli noodle were hot. I can understand the chicken is hot. However, don’t know why the vermicelli in noodle salad is quite hot also. I m not so sure is the vermicelli supposed to be cold???

But still tasted okay. Big portion with fair price.

Also the avocado smoothie is so nice as well.

Definitely will come back to try other dishes. :)

One of my Vietnamese restaurant to go in CBD. Food is really good and very generous portion. I love their crab pork meatballs in tomato soup. Rice paper rolls are filled with abundance of fresh veggies that give you very clean taste in every bites.

It was a very nice Vietnamese restaurant in the heart of Melbourne. The taste is nice enough to be called Vietnamese foods. I came here for so many times that I can’t even count. I usually order spicy beef noodle soup or the soft-shell craft noodle soup. The craft noodle is super kool regarding fresh noodle itself and the tasty soup and the crispy craft. Eventhough I was quite full but still tried hard to finish the whole bowl and don’t wanna waste it. I will definitely come back there again.

Your typical Vietnamese Street food. I had the rice vermicelli with chicken and spring rolls. I honestly had better spring rolls in other Vietnamese restaurant. This one was ok. But the rest is very delicious. I hold like to come back and try their beef pho.

I tend to try the same dishes whenever I go to vietnamese restaurants, so when I saw their "Specialty Noodles", I decided to give it a try. I ordered the "Bun Rieu - crab, pork meat ball, tomato + shrimp paste soup" and it was very refreshing. The tomato taste was really addictive and appetizing.

I've eaten here more times than I can count over the last few years. Almost every time I get the vegetable spring roll vermicelli, and I'm never disappointed. I would go as far as saying it's better than mekong. Unfortunately the price has increased, but the portion sizes are huge so it all balances out. Thanks for many great meals, and many more to come!

Reasonably priced and large portions. I had the super vermecilli which was really good. Rice paper rolls were great too but they gave me a satay sauce instead of fish sauce. Was nice but would have preferred fish sauce, I didnt know your can request different sauces. Spring rolls were great.

Great food, reasonably priced, quick and good service. The portions were big.

We got the rice paper rolls (of course) prawns and bbq chicken. They were deliciously put together. The beef broth was so warming and the sausage and beef in it were just perfect.

The stir fry chicken was tasty. Bit on the Swedish side which is expected. It came with q substantiql quantity of sticky rice. This was enough for three people. Loved the food, would definitely go back.

Stopped in here thinking it was Rice Paper Sister (since Rice Paper Scissors is one of my faves), and the food was good enough for me to not suspect it wasn't. Could've been a bit of placebo effect going on but still, I shoved it all down like I was stocking up for the winter.
Lots of options on the menu.  I'd definitely come back on purpose.

Not so many people here. I like the the combo noodle salad bowl (B8). Also, I like their spring rolls. The staff recommended us to order soft shell crab & Avocado rice rolls. However, it tastes weird. I really don't like it, but my friend seems ok with that.

My go-to place if I want a quick Vietnamese meal or need to get away from the office for a bit. Always order the pho or the beef noodle salad. Very traditional tasty food. Cons are that staff can be rude, you are often seated with strangers, the vego meals aren't great and its probably about 20% more expensive that other similar places. The food is consistently good and you can pay with card which many Asian places still don't let you do. Plentiful Sriricha is always a win!

The reviews for Rice Paper didn’t look too good, but you know what? Rice Paper offers free delivery on Foodora and I ain’t saying no to anything free.

Special pork chop on broken rice, and the big combo on vermicelli soon found their way to us, and my partner wasted no time wolfing down both dishes and commenting on how delicious they were. Unparalleled they were not, but they undeniably boast the distinct flavours and spices that Vietnamese cuisine is so renowned for. The juicy and meaty pork meat loaf and pork sausages did wonders to jazz up the meal too.

Generous portion sizes for a fusion restaurant, which goes to show Asian Fusion can still retain its authenticity, serving size-wise and taste-wise.

K: Good Vietnamese food in the city. Hardly ever will you see these words put together in a sentence in Melbourne. When you think authentic Vietnamese, you think Richmond, Footscray, Springvale, Stalbans and Sunshine. The influx of "street and modern" Vietnamese food outlets has given the cuisine a bad name with poor attempts of authenticity and flavour, but fear not ladies and gentlemen for Rice Paper is here to save the day.

It's a sunny summers day, and you want an Asian fix. Soups are too warm for you so you want rice. Not any rice but the broken kind, with pork, egg and some fish sauce. This traditional dish was what I ordered today and I will be honest, I had my doubts. This place seemed like it would be another "Vietnamese fusion" restaurant that so many try to unsuccessfully pull off but I was very surprised with just how good the food was. Although not the best, it is certainly the best in the city from what I have seen and tried. Service and ambience are also quite good considering the establishment and location.

For very good Vietnamese food in the city, look no further than Rice Paper on Swanston!

Went here after work because my friend keeps talking about their rice paper rolls. We ordered the avocado and pork ones, they were really good and surprisingly I could eat the whole thing without taking out the herbs. Spicy hoisin sauce is the way to go for me! My friend also had the broken rice and the portion was huge and she finished it so it must be good.

We ordered two things here. First up was the coriander baked fish on rice and the fish was cooked really well. The marinade/sauce on top of the fish didn't have enough flavour for me though. The pork chop was well marinated and tender though. Great portions too.

Rice paper is a great place for your quick fix Vietnamese food craving. I had the broken rice porkchop with sugar cane and lemon as my drink of choice. The rice plate was really good the only thing that I didn't like was the meat loaf that came with my rice plate. Next time I would just order the porkchop rice without the meat loaf and the shredded pork.

Rice Paper is my favourite go to restaurant for Vietnamese food. My usual order is the Special Broken Rice, it is really tasty! As you can see in the snapshot, the portion is generous and I always request to replace the meat loaf with more shredded pork- the staff always willingly oblige :)

It's a great spot to grab a quick lunch in the CBD - has efficient staff and the dishes are reasonably priced. Couldn't really ask for more.

Would recommend to anyone in pursuit of a good Vietnamese restaurant at the city!

The staff were a bit rude and unresponsive, and the area was small and cramped- tables and chairs crowded in together. Although, compared to authentic Vietnamese restaurants, it's quite clean and a bit more pricy, as it is tagged as 'modern'. Still tasty, would recommend and come back to.

I came to this place with my sister only because they have a few vegetarian options, I must say I was not overly impressed with the veggie pho,
Didn't have a lot of flavour and was all noodles needed a lot more flavour, More veggies and a lot less noodles, the veggie spring roll vermicelli salad was very tasty and amazing.

My sister said the crab wontons where fresh crab and amazing !!!! I would go back again just to see if it changes

Rice paper has my favourite rice paper rolls in the CBD. I cannot get enough of the soft shell crab rolls. Fresh and flavoursome every time! This is also a great place for a casual Friday night dinner. Reasonable prices, quick service and great variety on the menu. Just be prepared to be well aware of what the people beside you are having a conversation about. Gotta love those two-person tables on top of each other. On my most recent visit I ordered the vegetarian pho. I found the broth to be pretty flavourless and bland. I wouldn't order it again. Plenty of variety on the menu though, and I will definitely be back for the rolls!!

There's an incredible amount of Vietnamese restaurants in Melbourne's CBD. There's the one for Pho. The one for Bun bo Hue. Maybe you have a favourite for rice paper rolls, who knows. We recently stopped in at Rice Paper on Swanston Street for a quick bite and weren't disappointed. With open brick walls, Asian sauces shelved everywhere and sugar cane greeting you at the door, it's got that distinctly "Vietnamese restaurant" feel about it.

Prawn cold rolls and tofu bao as starters were great, followed by my favourite thing of all time: soft shell crab! Definitely worth visiting for. All the distinct flavours and beautiful accompanying sauces. The chicken and Bun bo Hue were perfect mains, amazingly spicy soup broth and packed full of meat. While the savoury dishes were awesome, the highlight had to be the sneakily advertised "ice cream sandwich" which was ACTUALLY a deep fried bao with ice cream! JACKPOT! Now I'm not sure why we didn't order three each and ended up splitting one. Advice - save room for these bad boys.

This is a great little spot to stop in for a quick lunch or dinner, service is quick and friendly and always with a smile! You won't break the bank either, $60 for two people will get you full as a fat girl's sock. Hearty thumbs up :)

I liked this place! It was indeed distinctly Vietnamese-themed, from the sugarcane machine at the entrance, cool posters covering walls of exposed brickwork and shelves of sriracha and other condiments as well as fresh young coconuts arranged in a glass cabinet at the counter. My friend and I shared avocado rice paper rolls, a shredded chicken coleslaw salad, soft shell crab, sugar cane prawn; drinks were fresh young coconut and a coconut mint slushie.
Most of the dishes were of a decent portion and fresh. The rolls had a nice amount of avocado and herbs and were great with the accompanying fish sauce. The prawn dish was my favorite; the sugarcane gave the juicy, flavorful mince a subtle sweetness that left me wishing I had more. Tip: You can chew the sugarcane sticks to get the juices out, but don't eat the fibers!
We liked the salad, but felt that it could easily be elevated with the addition of more herbs for that zing. The crab was smaller than we expected, but that was probably because it appeared more generous in the menu photo. That being said, it was still a great appetizer, surprisingly meaty yet with a crispy exterior.
On the table were bottles of hoisin and sriracha which we found we didn't need as the food was flavorful enough, but we did love the chilli oil for the extra spicy hit!
Onto the drinks, the coconut was refreshing and sweet on a very hot day as was the slushie. Loved both.
Looking forward to my next visit :)

Had a pleasant lunch here because I was craving for Vietnamese in the city. If you order the sugarcane drink, do ask them to NOT add sugar, as that ruins the drink. I found the beef pho above average. Would come back again.

I love the atmosphere at Rice paper. I have been with them since they first open and i will continue doing this. Between this restaurant and other Viet restaurants in Melbourne CBD, they provide best food and good service . A little bit pricey, but consider you are running business in CBD with a lot of costs to cover, their prices are ok.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

The chargrilled chicken vermicelli was surprisingly delicious with the tender meat and vegetable mix, topped with the tasty sauce. Everything fitted well together and I had a great time savouring this dish.

The chicken spring rolls were warm to the right temperature with the perfect texture of crispiness and juiciness, made more fun by dipping them in the tasty sauce.

Had special pork broken rice, which I really liked; though it was my first time having broken rice so I don't really have anything else to compare it with. Prawn and chicken rice paper rolls were decent, but the satay dipping sauce was REALLY TASTY. Beef pho soup is less flavorful than Mekong, in my opinion. Portions here are definitely bigger though.

The interior of the place is nice, though I was seated all the way inside on a sunny day, and the heater made me uncomfortably sweaty (I was in a tshirt LOL), and the smell of raw food from the kitchen wasn't particularly pleasant.

All in all, would come back for the broken rice and rice paper rolls!

Last Friday lunch, we dropped by this place to have Viet food. Service was indeed fast and efficient with so many customers during lunch hour. Prices were reasonable and portions were big too. I ordered the Rice Vermicelli with Chicken-Prawn spring rolls for A$12.00- a substantial amount that kept me so full till dinner time. My other colleagues ordered the Soft Shell Crab noodles in soup which costs $16.00 - slightly more expensive with a piece of deep fried soft shell crab. The noodles and soup had great taste except the crab was rather soggy and it wasn't that overly great...I'd say a bit different compared to normal seafood noodles. I like my vermicelli noodles best!

Order from menu, write on pad and give to waitress. Food comes out very quickly and is of a high quality, using fresh ingredients. We had prawn spring rolls, chicken spring rolls, beef leaves, seafood combination, satay steak, grilled chicken, rice, curry chicken and 3x soft drinks. Amazingly flavoured food, plenty for 3 people, total cost was $80. Highly recommend.

Rice Paper serves up some nice Vietnamese cuisine. It was lunchtime when we went, so the restaurant was bustling and wait staff were rushing up and down a little haphazardly. I settled on my go-to Vietnamese dish: special pork broken rice! At $13, it was slightly more expensive than in other Vietnamese restaurants (I guess that's normal for city food). 
The broken rice was very good! I love that the rice is actually 'broken', unlike other restaurants that falsely advertise broken rice, but actually serve normal rice. In terms of portion, the grilled pork piece was a little small. Nevertheless it had good flavour and the egg was oozing! I wish they gave a little more nuoc nam sauce though!
All in all, it was a pleasant experience but nothing in particular stood out. Will be returning soon :)

This is my go to place for rice paper rolls on the go! I often get the avocado & carrot and the tofu & carrot ones with hoisin sauce. I've yet to try the rest of the menu, but will keep coming back for the rice paper rolls since they have good veg options.
I know a few people who prefer rice paper rolls with more noodle filling rather than lettuce, since these are quite on the leafy side but personality I don't mind it, they're fresh and are a generous size so they're filling enough.
Service is quick and usually friendly.

Vietnamese is one of the more predictable cuisines, but at Rice Paper, things are not so predictable. There's a sense of 'soft-shell crab' trendiness here, and I mean that quite literally too. 

Putting soft-shell crab into the traditional bao isn't a bad idea at all. You'll find an interesting contrast in textures between the soft bao and crunchy battered crab. Paired perfectly with sriracha mayo. Except at this point you might be a little confused about what kind of cuisine you're sitting for.

One of my favourite Vietnamese in town! They offer friendly, but efficient service, delicious food, and affordable price!
I really love their spicy beef noodle soup and their chicken and prawns rice paper rolls. For me, the portion of the spicy beef noodle soup is pretty big, I can share it with my friend and it would still make me feel full. The broth is light, not so spicy, and it doesn't have this fishy smell which I normally get from Vietnamese spicy beef noodle soup.
They also give you hot tea (not just tap water) for free and it really matches well with any of their soup dishes.
Been here 4 times and will surely come back for more!

Highly rate!! Free BYO and that is extremely rare for the CBD. Plus I love how its a few notches up from your stock standard vietnamese, such as the ones either side and all the joints on vic street, a lot cleaner and more modern, so you feel fancy and if you try super hard you could almost imagine yourself at a flinders lane restaurant. I always go for a pho at viet places, but only if they are genuine grunge homestyle restaurants, at more modern ones like these I never expect the pho to be on par because I just presume it won't be dirty enough, and will have that watered down taste. SO I haven't had the pho here, but can highly recommend any of the vermicelli bowls- in fact don't muck around and just go straight for the $14 combo with everything. Cannot fault it !!!

We had no plans of where we were going, but instead hoped that we would stumble upon something that appealed to us. As we walked along, we came across Rice Paper, which was unrelated to the very popular Rice Paper Scissors where it is close to impossible to get a table on a whim! With a sign that said they specialised in Vietnamese street food, and a menu that had vegetarian options, we decided this was the place for us!

This is a good Vietnamese restaurants with an extensive menu of so many different dishes. I've tried the combination Bun Bo Hue and it's so tasty. The betel leaf beef is quite different but nice flavour. The soft shell crab is really delicious as well. However, the homestyle comfort food section is not so impressive. My friend ordered the braised pork and it's pretty ordinary. But I'm happy with most things that I've tried so far. The service is ok. The place is not too small but if you come during peak hours, it's likely that there are no table.

The yellow chicken curry is very nice, but very rich. They give you just the right amount that you don't get too overwhelmed. The BBH was a little bit of a disappointment, nothing like the original BBH i've had in other Vietnamese restaurants, it was purely to the lack of ingredients. The Ca phe sua da is pretty epic though, it's the proper stuff and is very tasty, handy to have somewhere close by that can make it this well. 

The place itself is a little crowded, you are squeezed in like sardines in a can and doesn't make for an enjoyable dining experience, but for a quick eat that's cheap it's a pretty good option. I recommend if you just want to get in there eat and get out.

Great place for an out of ordinary Viet experience with quite a few unique dishes. Fantastic Tofu an Vege Noodle with an abundance of flavour and a hint of smokiness. (9/10). My combo Bun was good, but lacked the expected fresh herbs (7/10). Pork Rice paper rolls were large an tasty, (8/10).

Definitely a place to try.

In the fast-food restaurant, there are a few varieties of French bread that can be selected. A Vietnamese-style fast food restaurant with Chinese menus, as well as rice rolls. River powder, fried rice, etc., the price is middle and lower. The beef broth soup powder selected at the bottom is full of beef flavor and the ingredients are fresh and delicious.

Awesome Pho and rice paper rolls. We were looking to have some dinner late at night around 10 and weren't expecting much, as most of the places close by 10pm. This place was open, decided to go here and was pleasantly surprised with good food. Will definitely recommend this place.

The food is great here. The special all mix Pho is favourite. Chicken with broken rice is good too, add some spring rolls with it for a complete meal. Staff are friendly but service speed can vary from time to time.

Been here a few times and never been disappointed. If there is a lot of people in the store, don't worry because service is lightning quick and you will get your meal as though you are the only one in the restaurant. I enjoy the modern take on the decor and setting. The ingredients come across as fresh. It's a hard choice between here and it's neighbour. I would say the Pho broth here is a tiny bit sweeter than what I'm used to, but that might just be me. Price is definitely on point.

CASUAL VIETNAMESE ON SWANSTON STREET Very fast service. Offers a good range of vietnamese rice, pho, noodle and ricepaper rolls. Long share tables but not too squashy. You are presented with a menu and an order sheet and mark off the items you want to order. Chinese tea provided free in those familiar thermos flasks on the table. Two of us ate there for a Saturday lunch. Three rice paper rolls (quite fresh and tasty), chicken salad (grilled chicken with a huge serve of salad), fish on rice (not bad), green miny ice drink (very very minty but refreshing). All up, just under $43. Lots of seating - some single tables but mostly long shared tables. Wheelchair accessible if you can grab one of the single tables. Cash and credit cards accepted. Some vegetarian options.
