" What an amazing experience! The Paper Bridge is a hidden gem in the city. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the lovely decor that reminded me of Hanoi streets. The Bun Cha was the best I've ever had outside Vietnam, and the flavor was on point! My friends and I shared a variety of dishes, all of which were spot on in terms of authenticity. The drink options were unique and well-crafted too. Highly recommend making a reservation, as it gets busy! I can't wait to return and make this place my regular Vietnamese spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved everything about my meal at The Paper Bridge. I ordered an array of dishes, from the Dungeness crab rolls to the iced coffee, and every single item was packed with flavor. The restaurant’s atmosphere is delightful and you can tell a lot of thought was put into the decor. The service was prompt and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant because I heard they serve authentic Northern Vietnamese cuisine. However, my experience was a bit mixed. While the atmosphere was charming and my spring rolls were delicious, I felt my pho lacked depth and was just mediocre. The portion sizes were also smaller than I expected for the price, which left me a bit unsatisfied. I hope they can improve on these points because there is a lot of potential here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't rave enough about The Paper Bridge! Their authenticity shines through every dish, from the first bite of the pork skewers to the last drop of the egg coffee. The ambiance is lively yet cozy, giving it a perfect neighborhood feel. Service was quick and the staff were knowledgeable about the dishes. I highly recommend trying their specialties, especially if you're a fan of Vietnamese cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went back to The Paper Bridge after a wonderful experience last year, and it proved to be just as amazing as I remembered! The atmosphere is vibrant, filled with authentic Vietnamese decor. I enjoyed the clams and the morning glory with garlic, which were both outstanding. The only downside was the wait time for our dishes, but the quality and the authentic taste made it worthwhile. Highly recommend for anyone craving Vietnamese food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining at The Paper Bridge was a visually stunning experience! Between the elegant decor and the deliciously crafted food, it felt like a mini trip to Vietnam. The Bun Cha had all the right flavors and paired well with the fresh herbs. The service was polite and helpful, although a bit on the slow side. Overall, I would recommend this spot for authentic Northern Vietnamese delights! " (*Curated Review*)
