We visited this restaurant for lunch and we had to wait around 5 minutes for a table. This is not very long considering we arrived at peak hour and it is located in a busy shopping mall.
The restaurant offers a lunch special where we would receive an appetizer and a choice for the main meal. We could choose between a selection of noodle soups and a rice dish. I decided to order its raw beef rice noodle soup. We were told that it would be a 20 minute wait for the food to be cooked. But it ended up being much quicker!
The appetizer was a sample plate of the ones that are offered in the al la carte menu. The mango and vegetable rice roll was refreshing and tasty. I particularly enjoyed the satay chicken skewer as it was nicely seasoned. In terms of the raw beef noodle soup, it’s pretty much what you would expect from any other Vietnamese restaurant. It was not particularly special - but it does have many slices of beef. Which is great news for the meat lovers out there.
The environment was relaxing - decor was modern and comfortable. The service could have been better. We were seated in an area that was slightly partitioned off, so it was quite difficult to get the waiters’ attention. At one stage, one of the waiters looked at us with our hands in the air and simply walked away. Needless to say, that was quite disappointing. The price was $90 per person for the lunch special - not expensive, but you could certainly find other places that offer the same dishes for a much lower price.
Overall, I consider this to be an average restaurant. Thai and Vietnamese is a popular cuisine in Hong Kong, so Rice Paper definitely has some tough competition around that offers delicious food but at lower prices. However, it is a restaurant where you could sit comfortably and chat for hours on end. If you are just looking for a place to fill your stomach, I would advise you to look for other places.
