I have been to Rice Paper a few times over the past year and a half. The three other times I have visited, I have had a pleasant experience, but it seems that this is going a little bit downhill. \n\nThe Good: It has a very \"safe\" menu. It's very American friendly and the menu is in English and not in Vietnamese (some of the dishes have Vietnamese names). It has pretty good ambience. Very trendy along a row of other similarly trendy restaurants on 7th Street. \n\nThe Bad: Cockroaches. I was shocked to see cockroaches (two) scurrying along the walls. I'm only writing this review because I thought that this had to be a fluke. I read another Yelp review and learned: this isn't the first complaint. \n\nTo the restaurants credit, our meal was discounted (by probably 20%) and the wait staff was apologetic. I get that and I harbor no ill will. Stuff happens. From a business perspective, however, this is completely unacceptable. The waiter (manager?) said that they do have a pest control service but: \"sometimes older restaurants in this area of town can occasionally have an issue like this.\" My reply was: \"I have never seen cockroaches running walls or dropping into food.\" I suspect that if there are issues in the dining area, I'm very reticent to look at the kitchen. There are a number of other places I'll go instead.
