An incredible experience! We went as a group of 4 on a busy saturday night. We ordered 1x oyster with scallions, 1x sauteed morning glory (rau muong), 2x deconstructed chicken pho (sold out really quickly, we went at 6:30pm and there were 5 portions left), 1x pho Nam Dinh, and 1x bun cha Ha Noi. Omg everything tasted so fresh and authentic. The meat in bun cha was so well marinated. Love that the pho Nam Dinh has fresh noodles (iykyk) instead of the dry ones. Service was slightly slower on the weekend but understandable. Overall, can’t wait to come back!

Reading a review in Axios Portland convinced me to go, and I almost missed the restaurant because it's in the middle of a block that doesn't look commercial at all. But oh am I glad I went. I usually have good food in other places, but seldom have memorable food. This was memorable. I had the fish bun cha and it was awesome. I highly recommend going here.

The Paper Bridge is an excellent Vietnamese spot with really flavorful dishes. The décor and atmosphere are warm and stylish, making it a great place for a nice dinner out. We had the Fried Pork Cakes, Bun Cha, and Nam Dinh Beef Pho—everything was delicious and full of depth. Service was great and attentive, but reservations are highly recommended since it gets busy. Definitely a place worth planning ahead for.

Loved this place and the food was delicious. The puffed pho noodles were delicious. The cocktails were delicious. The stay was great. Friendly and helpful. This is definitely a new restaurant in our regular rotation! The skewers also stood out.

The Paper Bridge is an absolute gem! We ordered a wide variety of dishes and every single one was super delicious. The duck leg pho was rich and flavorful, and their monthly specials were a fun surprise..definitely worth trying! We also went heavy on the small appetizer plates, and wow… each one was perfectly seasoned and paired with dipping sauces that were truly chef’s kiss. The inside aesthetic is sooo cozy, warm, and inviting, making it the perfect spot to gather with friends over a meal. The servers and staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful in walking us through the menu, which made the whole experience even better. A couple of tips: it’s street parking only, so plan ahead. And I’d recommend making a reservation so you can get seated right away, otherwise there was always a
