I was excited about this place after reading reviews online and reading that they had Pho at lunch time. There are not a lot of places in the Akron area that offer Pho so any restaurant new to the game is exciting for me. First of all, I think the thermostat was set on 200 degrees when I walked in. The server promptly offered me a drink and sat me down. No pho on the lunch menu. So I ordered vegetable dumpling soup and pad Thai. I wasn't impressed with either. Broth for the soup tasted like instant, dumplings were super saugy. Pad Thai had a weird tart like taste to it. The hostess who was within 10 feet of me sat on her phone watching videos disruptively the whole time I was trying to enjoy my lunch. I thanked her when leaving with no reply- probably too into her phone. All in all, I wasn't impressed at all and probably won't be back. read more

Our favorite Thai restaurant. Food is excellent and service is good. Always remember our name Prepared spice level to your liking. Curry is some of the best. Their fried rice dishes are fabulous. Only doing take out because of covid but food is well prepared and packaged. read more

So good... try it mmkay? I keep wanting to try different things but I can't get past the Pad Thai and the Siam rolls. I ordered the Pad Thai at a 3 spice level and it was pretty hot, which I love. The owner and her sister are both sweet hearts; you can tell they care a lot about their food and business. The only downside is they don't have their liquor license and you can't BYOB. That's obviously not their fault but I miss having a glass of wine with my meal. Oh and the fried banana rolls for dessert were amazing! The place is tiny so it does fill up fast but they do accept reservations. read more

A great find. Nice ambience in a strip center. Excellent Thai food in an area with few authentic Asian restaurants.

Not bad, but overpriced for the quantity of food. The taste was nothing spectacular but the ambiance was nice and formal for sure.

Amazing people! Have taken care of me and my family for years. Amazing Thai food truly the best in the area. The red chicken curry level 3 is amazing!! So is the shrimp in a blanket and the Tom yum soup. Everything's amazing. read more

Food - Excellent Atmosphere - Excellent Service - A little inexperienced, but solid Value - Can't beat it!!! Entrees all under $9!! Loved my food! Would frequent this place if they were a little closer to home in Canton. However, I will be back. No decent Thai in Canton. read more

Excellent food!! The service is genuinely friendly. Wonderful atmosphere makes for pleasant dining experience. We have been to the newest Canton restaurant read more

The food here is always amazing. We just moved out of Fairlawn and miss it a lot! BEST fried rice I've had, hands down. Be careful though, it can be quite spicy at level two and above :-) read more

My pal Matt and i decided to try Rice Paper for lunch today and it was pretty darned good. it's a small spot in a small strip but they pack in a lot of tables and it doesn't feel crowded. it's really pretty inside too. i had the Pad Thai Country Style which was supposed to be spicier than the standard Pad Thai. it wasn't spicy at all but was really good. it also had tofu which i actually liked in this. i'd also ordered the Golden Bag(s) appetizer thinking Matt would eat one or two but he did not and i ate all 4. they were delicious - sorta like gyoza but deep fried in a tofu wrap/skin. greasy but tasty. Matt had the Rice Paper Fried Rice and if he wants you to know how it was, he can create his own Yelp! account, but it looked good. read more

I eat here regularly. I love their tom kar gai soup, and regularly get their curries. I got their Ginger Ginger dish once as well; it was very good, but not as ginger-y as I was hoping for so I won't get it again. I love the variety of veggies they include in their curries, and the spice level is just right. If you love hot-hot spicy though, you'll want to ask them to kick it up for you. And their pork isn't just dead pieces of super-chewy meat like is common at other Thai places! Definitely the best Thai place in the Fairlawn area. It's becoming a lunchtime regular for me at work. read more

Clean, nice service, food was ok. Spring rolls were great. The mango chicken was good although light on the mango side and cut in uneven pieces. read more

Wow, delicious Thai place. Hard to find, tucked away behind 5 Guys in a strip mall in Fairlawn. The Wife and I decided to check it out since we were going to be in the area. Very trendy and tasteful interior. We got the Golden Bag, a very unique appetizer. Think tofu skins wrapped around a ground pork and somewhat springy interior fried to a crisp and tied off with a green onion. Really quite memorable. Also enjoyed the Panang curry which was delicious, best I've had in a while. Real heat without being too much. Also enjoyed the mango fried rice and the Crazy Noodle, which though not as good as the one in Thai Thai, it's still pretty darned tasty. Prices are cheap and the portions are resonable, not generous. Service was good. I'll definitely be back. read more

Really great family-run Thai place in Fairlawn. Friendly and efficient service. Attractive decor. We really have enjoyed the mango and avocado curries. read more

Always good service and excellent food. I only wish they would take the tails off the shrimp and maybe give a few more shrimp in the pad thai. We will return! read more

Amazing Thai food! Honestly the best I've ever had, I'm not an expert in Thai dishes but I at with some others that eat a lot of Thai around the country and they all enjoyed their meals. read more

First time here and completely loved it! Cute little place food was delicious. Will be back.

Food was good they even made my Pad Thai and fried rice vegetarian without the fish or oyster sauce but the customer service was even better, we were greeted when we walked in and they were polite even when they didn't see me come in and I was waiting for a minute they were very apologetic overall it a good experience. read more

Great Local Thai food. It was very flavorful and the restaurant itself is very cute. It would be a great date night restaurant. I would highly recommend this place. It's a hidden gem! read more

One of the most authentic Tai places in the area!!! Great affordable place for a work lunch! The avocado Vege Curry is wonderful... and of course with all the scorching heat that thai chili's can bring (optional)! If you like Thai, you will be addicted to this little family owned place. read more

Wow what a great place! Jane Snow, a local James Beard recipient, recommended this restaurant in her newsletter. She always recommends the best places and she sure didn't let us down with this great place either. We were there for a quick lunch. The prices are more than fair. The place is neat, intimate, comfortable and kinda fancy. The servers were pleasant and attentive without being the slightest bit imposing. But the food is the star. I feel that I know my Tai and I enjoyed my dish and those of my table mates. I can't wait to go back! read more

I had lunch here with my hubby. And I have nothing but good things to say. The restaurant was clean and attractive. Very pleasant environment. We were greeted and sat promptly. Our waitress was very nice and was on top of her game. My husband had the Hot Beef and Rice and said it was good. I had the Choo Chee Duck, and it was delicious. Also ordered the Pad Thai and it was very good. I'd say this was some of the best Thai food I have had. Would definitely recommend, and go again. read more

An amazing find. Randomly stumbled across this during holiday shopping. Came in ready to be disappointed like most Thai places in the area, BUT low and behold this place was awesome! Very attentive staff. My water was NEVER empty. We tried the Golden Bags and Shrimps in a Basket for apps. My mom loves her Tom Yum soup. The Pad See Ew was done just right. Nom nom. The best part beyond it being 5 minutes from my house...super fast and cheap...and delicious!! read more

It was a cute little place & I am willing to give their new Canton location a shot. I was not impressed with my own meal, but my mother's (crazy/drunken noodles) and father's (one of the rice dishes) were decent. I was basic and ordered the pad thai, expecting lots of fishy-flavor (fish/oyster sauce), sour (tamarind), and spice (ground chili), but it was just sweet, sweet & more SWEET. Dessert noodles! I felt like I was eating falooda. Plus, the amount of peanuts given was pitiful. The owner is very kind, I should add that. They are probably just cooking the dishes this way to appeal to a typical Western palate. Would love it if they would take a chance and swing more authentic! If I go again, will be sure to try a different dish, & request to up the heat level, if nothing else. read more

Stopped for quick Pad Thai lunch take out and this place is fantastic in every way! Speed, good portion size and at a fair price . I consider myself a Pad Thai expert (or snob if you prefer) and Rice Paper does their dish excellent! read more

Pretty good food and great service. Although this is not your authentic Thai restaurant, for this area, I did enjoy my meal. Craving something simple with rice, I ordered the Basil Fried Rice (max spicy) which was delicious and cooked well - I loved the copious amount of basil and the crunchy parts of fried rice. My husband ordered the chicken lemongrass, which was decent but was missing the lemongrass in the sauce (for it was only in the chicken). Both were plated beautifully. The tom yum goong was your typical tasty broth and had 2 shrimp, mushrooms and chicken in it. (Given my husband is not a mushroom fan, he ended up with 2 shrimp and no chicken, so he had been slightly disappointed.) Overall, we enjoyed our meal. read more

I just found this place a month ago. Omg excellent pad Thai. So good I went back twice in a week. Can't wait to try everything else.

What a sweet little gem of a restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely, the owner or owner's wife was very helpful in her suggestions for us as we are pretty new to Thai food. The service was great, food was great, and the atmosphere was great. Really... what more can you ask for. Not at all pretentious, just quaint with good food. read more

Website says they are open - as in for sit down meal. Get there and the door sign says Delivery only. Open the door and a construction worker said they are closed!!! If you can't rely on their info online don't bother saying you're open when you're NOT. read more

Very warm atmosphere and the food was incredible! We ordered the Seafood Madness, was the best. We went at 5:00 with no reservation and sat right down ordered and served in 10 minutes! The service was great. Definitely recommend! read more

Visited Rice Paper Thai for lunch over the weekend and I must say that for a restaurant that's only been open for a short while it certainly has gained a reputation. Deservedly so. The dining area is small compared to some others, it being located in what was once a Subway restaurant, but being smaller just allows them to give each order the attention it deserves. Nearly all of the meat dishes are some variation of chicken or shrimp with just a very few beef choices. I went over to the vegie side of the menu for my lunch selection, vegetables and tofu in a brown sauce. Servings are plentiful. Even the lunch was more than I would usually eat after having had a late breakfast. But it was probably some of the best Thai I have eaten in quite a while. I would give it Five Stars except for one small detail. At the end of the meal I asked the waiter for a box for what was left of my lunch, which would be close to half of what was served. The owner came by and we began talking about the restaurant (reservations are strongly recommended for dinner). During this conversation the waiter returned and took away my plate. I thought nothing of this, expecting that he was going to place the leftovers in a box for me. It wasn't until I was on the road later that I realized he did not. So, I have to dock them one star, because I was really looking forward to finishing that meal the next day for lunch. Oh well. I expect to return. I also suggest checking hours on their website as they do close in the afternoon after lunch on weekdays. read more

Fantastic Thai food. Nice dining room. I had the chicken red curry and it was nice and spicy, and the veggies were cooked perfectly. My partner had the pad Thai and it was also fabulous. read more

Absolutely delicious! I've been here three times and everything was fabulous each time. I think this is the best Thai food in northeast Ohio--even better than restaurants in Cleveland. The Pad Thai and crazy noodle are especially good. I wish the dining area was bigger, and the service can be a little curt just because they're always so busy, but the food is so good that it doesn't matter to me. read more

This review was based on consumption of a takeout order, so there may be some inherent biases. I got Pad Thai Country style largely because it was errantly listed as spicy, my wife got Panang curried shrimp. The heft of the bag accurately telegraphed skimpy portions. The food was good, there was just nowhere near enough of the stuff compared to dine-in photos on Yelp....a word to the wise! read more

The best Thai in Akron. My favorite dishes are the chili duck & mango curry. Get a Thai iced tea while you're there!

Wonderful environment, the staff and owner were present and attentive. The food was good, nice mix of spices in the soup, pad thai noodles, etc. I could tell they cook the meat and veggies then add the soup base (probably made earlier in bulk) because while the chicken and vegetables were hot, the soup liquid wasn't. Thai owners. Reasonable prices. We will go back! read more

We ordered the Golden Bag as did other reviewers. The flavor was very bland. On the other hand our dinners were excellent. We had avocado curry, mussaman curry and Thai basil. All had great flavors and nice presentation. read more
