Our Story

In 1979 post-Vietnam war, my family left our country town of Rạch Giá, Vietnam to start a new chapter in Virginia. My mother, Xuan Tran was popular in our new community within the Eden Center for her dynamic range of Vietnamese cuisine. My cousin, Phuong Ho shared a deep passion for food at a young age. With my mother’s foundation of family recipes and Chef Ho’s modern interpretations, their blend of cooking brought everyone fond memories of cultural heritage.

In 2012, we opened Rice Paper, and brought together fresh and unique flavors. Nearly a decade later, our family continues to welcome everyone, to a taste of Vietnam.
