about
Rice Paper Scissors was created by Valerie Luu (Little Knock) and Katie Kwan (KitchenSidecar), two Vietnamese street food vendors in San Francisco who love sitting on small stools.
Inspired by the sidewalk dining and street food we experienced in Vietnam, we wanted to recreate the experience here in the Mission — complete with small tables, even smaller stools, fresh Vietnamese condiments, Cambodian pop music, and a rotating menu of Vietnamese comfort foods.
Our cafe pops up on front porches, garages, and sidewalks and when we’re not figuring out what kitschy Asian housewares to buy, you can find us at various street food events and every Thursday at Mojo Bicycle Cafe.

- Just watched The Layover: San Francisco and learned about your little Vietnamese pop-up shop and I right away I knew I just have to visit someday. Being Vietnamese myself, I hardly dine out at Vietnamese food shops, but what I've heard about you guys makes me want to go. When will you guys be back in SF with another pop up event?
Thanks! We’ll be back March 1st for Banh Mi Thursday at Mojo Bicycle Cafe. See you there!
- Eater's Digest: Can Tho
Can Tho is the heart of the Mekong Delta, home of the floating markets and agriculture industry; also where Valerie’s father grew up. Here’s some of the many eats we enjoyed on and around the river.
Kem - Ice Cream
Inside: Chocolate ice cream, peanuts and condensed milk sandwiched between two wafers
Verdict: Usually we would say nay on those wafers, since they remind us of the cheap ice cream cones you get at Sizzlers. But we loved it as a sandwich, keeping our hands clean and mouths happy.
Extra bits: It was actually Valerie’s cousin’s ice cream. He only ordered one, and we ended up eating all of it. Whoops.
Bun Hue Gao Luc - Hue Style Red Noodle Soup
Inside: Red rice noodles, goji berries, fried tofu, tofu cha lua, fried shallots, scallions, peanuts, water spinach
Verdict: So balanced, flavorful, and full of surprises. The tofu (two ways) added a variety of textures and the goji berries were right where we expected to find them—in a soup. Com chay (vegetarian food) is dank!
Extra bits: The noodles are made from a red rice variety — fresh everyday!
Com Chien Cha Bon - Rice Cracker with Chicken Cotton
Inside: Cotton chicken, scallion oil, and chili sauce on a toasted rice cake
Verdict: Crunchy, flavorful, and super simple. We’re stoked on this dish.
Extra bits: So good our vegetarian friend had to break a few rules a take a bite!
Banh Mi Op La - Fried Egg Banh Mi
Inside: Fried egg, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, pate, cilantro
Verdict: A-OK — not the best, certainly not the worst. However, we do love how much airy(er) the bread is here.
Mi Tien Bac Buu - Eight Item Noodle Soup
Inside: Egg noodles, tofu cha lua, vegetarian ‘duck’ meat, lotus seeds, dry fried tofu skins, braised tofu skins, ginko berries, dried dates, lychees (is that 8 yet?!)
Verdict: A bit sweet for our taste, but exciting nonetheless. Great myriad of textures and a good departure from the everyday pho broth.
Cafe Sua Nong - Hot Vietnamese Coffee
Inside: Drip coffee + a little condensed milk
Verdict: We usually drink our coffee iced (because it’s hot as balls over here), but having it hot was necessary during our breezy boat trip along the Mekong Delta. Our floating cafe warmed up their shot of pre-dripped coffee (left) by submerging it in hot water (right). Nifty.
Tom Nuong w/ Satay - Charcoal Grilled Prawns w/ a Satay Sauce
Inside: Prawns topped with satay — garlic, shallots, honey, soy sauce, chili, served with okra
Verdict: Having your own tabletop grill is awesome! Give it a minute grill on each side and you’re good to dip it with a salt/pepper/young kumquat dip.
Extra bits: We had our waiter chug beers, give speeches and sing to us. We’re a tough crowd (though he was more than happy to do it!)

City: Saigon
- Our Date with the Sup Cua Lady
After Saigon, Can Tho was our next stop because 1) it’s the heart of the Mekong Delta, with one of the largest floating markets and 2) it’s my father’s hometown. Since it’s much less crowded than Saigon, you can cross the street without dying a little bit inside.
We stumbled across Di Dung’s Sup Cua stand walking from the main harbor to my cousin Tan’s house. The crab soup features egg drop, quail eggs and pig brains, topped with fresh chicaronnes and shrimp chips. We enjoyed the buttery brains and various textures so much we asked if we could film her making her dish the next morning.
After doing a 7am boat ride through the floating markets, we showed up at her house and talked about selling street food while picking herbs and shelling hundreds of quail eggs on her living room floor. We met her daughter, who was in charge of frying up the chicaronnes, and her son-in-law, who prepped the pig skin. Her husband peer pressured us to join him for some Heinkens, but we had some street food to make!
Once prep was done, she made us a vegetarian lunch with fried lemongrass tofu, greens, and pickles. It’s an amazing thing — going from a street food customer to feeling like someone’s opened up their home and craft to you. My cousin Tan (who became our translator and improvised cameraman) said it was his favorite experience during our stay. We couldn’t agree more.
- Eater's Digest: Saigon
We’re here to eat street food, and lots of it. Here’s how we made our first dent in Saigon!
Chao Long - Offal Rice Porridge
Inside: Tasty pig parts like blood cubes, intestines, and liver, topped with a Chinese donut and bean sprouts
Verdict: Loved it. Full of texture. Can’t wait to try our hand at it.
Extra bits: Our vendor was a third-generation Chao Long vendor; her 40-year-old beautiful blue cart was passed down from her mother. We shared our table with a very drunk man who paid for us before we even had the chance to pay up, showing us how generous Vietnamese folks can be.
Xoi Bap - Corn Sticky Rice
Inside: Hominy, sticky rice, fried shallots. Topped with sugar and roasted sesame seeds.
Verdict: We’re accustomed to eating regular xoi, a sweet mung bean sticky rice. This version is more on the savory side due to the use of salt and shallots. Perfect for breakfast.
Extra bits: Scarfed it down in about two minutes.
Hot Vit Lon - Fertilized Duck Egg
Inside: Fertilized duck/quail. Basically a somewhat developed fetus, complete with feathers and soft beaks.
Verdict: Duck egg faired better with the lime/salt/pepper dipping sauce, which helped us ease into the idea of eating feathers. The quail eggs tasted like little boiled eggs, and paired well with rau rum, a Vietnamese herb.
Bap Xao - Sauteed Corn
Inside: Sticky corn, dried shrimp, fried shallots, chili, margarine
Verdict: Yum! We make this dish quite often at our Banh Mi Thursdays, but we’re not able to get our hands on sticky corn in the States, so it was a treat to eat this more toothsome maize.
Ok, this isn’t street food - but check out the huge coffee filters we scored! We’ll be ready to churn out tons of drip coffee for you when we get back!

- The Green Papaya Shuffle
Under the trees that line Con Vien park, off Hai Ba Trung street, we spotted some 20 people feasting on green papaya salad, Saigon style. Their plates were filled with finely shredded papaya, beef jerky, prawn crackers, chili sauce, peanuts, and, of course, sweet fish sauce.
Instead of sitting on little red stools, the diners were seated on linoleum seat covers laid out under the trees.
What was not present was the green papaya cart itself, which turned out to be across street. Upon closer examination, we deduced that the owners were running a two pronged approach to street food hustling. Back-of-house operations and take-out orders were executed on one side of the street, while front-of-house service was conducted on the other side of the street.
Each plate started with a tuft of green papaya and was topped off with fried prawn crackers, a bit of beef jerky, peanuts, and fresh basil.
Half assembled, the plates were then stacked on a metal tray, brought across the street to the park, and mounted on the back of a motorbike.
How they managed to keep the salads from toppling over is just the tricks of the trade.
Before bringing them out to customers, the women finished the dishes off with chili sauce, fish sauce, and another handful of herbs.
Swoon.
We couldn’t help but steal some shade and get down on the cool refreshing salad. The papaya made our lips smack, the jerky made out bellies dance, and the chilis made our noses run. Best way to beat that Saigon heat!
Their thoughts exactly.

- Alleyway Ladies
In SF, we all have our neighborhood bar, cafe, and eatery. In Vietnam, it all takes place in an alleyway. While in Saigon, we crashed at my mother’s childhood home, located in a a narrow alleyway called Trang Quang Khai, where at any given time, there are three vendors ready to serve people their morning coffee, breakfast or lunchtime fix.
In the mornings we frequented Co My’s stand for cafe sua da (Vietnamese iced coffee), super thick and slow dripped everyday at 6am. It’s essential in this humid and hot weather, where we need little cups of coffee to pick us up throughout the day.Also popping up every morning is Ba Tiem Se, the neighborhood gossip (and cutest lady EVER.) She sweeps the alleyway at 7am to keep it lookin’ pretty. My mom describes her as being the “radio tower” that beams out local news. Plus she’s so adorbs you can’t help but tell her your secrets.
For breakfast, our neighbors sets up a hu tieu (bean thread noodle soup) restaurant right outside her house. She wakes up at 3am everyday to make a fresh batch of broth.
The south end of the alleyway was so popular three vendors would rotate during the day. For lunch, we visited the com tam stand for a broken rice plate with fish claypot, accompanied by a refreshing cabbage soup.
After we made all the rounds, it’s only appropriate to sit in front of Ba Tiem Se’s house, of course, to digest and listen in to all the alleyway gossip.

Best damn green papaya salad ever! Great snack to help cool you down in this humid weather. Blog post to follow :)
- Greetings from Saigon!
I arrived in Saigon from Hong Kong about three days ago, and am anxiously awaiting for Katie to fly in later tonight. I’m completely enamored by the amazing textures, sights, sounds of Vietnam — the little red stools and peeling paint, jungle of telephone wires, fast-driving mopeds and pleasantly warm weather. I feel at home in nothing more than a tank top, shorts, and flip flops — an outfit you can only get away with in SF during the two hot days we get a year.
Sorry for the lack of blogging, we’ve just been absorbing everything bit by bit. Look out for some pictures and updates in the next few days.
Cheers,
Valerie
Grilled prawns from last night’s dining room floor dinner. The best kind of meal there is!
- Photos: Dungeness Crab House
A few weeks ago we had our Dungeness Crab House, a feast celebrating our favorite crustacean.
All went well — except for when our faucet exploded, creating a geyser, to which Iso swiftly responded by covering the hole and turning off the pipes. The result: Iso completely soaked from the waist up, therefore winning our unplanned wet t-shirt contest and our gratitude!
Check out more behind the scenes cooking shots by our friend Albert Lam of Pork Belly Studio.
Much better than 2 girls 1 cup. Unless it is 2 girls, 1 cup of chao*.
— Gchat conversation with Katie. We can’t get our minds out of the gutter/kitchen.
*Chao = Rice Porridge
- Happy New Year!
Happy Vietnam/Chinese New Year! It was this holiday that brought Katie and I together last year for our very first pop-up, and we wanted to thank you all for still coming out one year later.
In the Asian tradition, we wish you happiness, wealth, and longevity in the Year of the Dragon.
Sure, we wish you lots of dolla bills, but we also take that to mean a year of numerous long feasts with good food and good friends (and hopefully Rice Paper Scissors too!)
In little red stools and red envelopes,
Valerie + Katie

- RPS Gets a Visit From Anthony Bourdain + 'The Layover'!
(photo by Misha Tsukerman)
Way back in August 2011, our RPS Heads to Hanoi Pop-Up was visited by Anthony Bourdain and his awesome production crew over at Zero Point Zero Productions. They were filming their first season of The Layover, a faster-paced and city-based riff on No Reservations, and wanted to drop by our little pop-up.
When we first got the notice, I was sitting at Mojo Bicycle Cafe, my mouth agape, while Valerie was somewhere in the east bay jumping around her office. Humbled by the mere thought that Anthony Bourdain would be within arms length of our banh mi, we were all on board.
Working around the clock to make RPS Heads to Hanoi the best pop-up possible, we pulled out all the stops. This meant:
- Working with Chris McNally, a badass illustrator, to produce a beautiful gig poster
- Coming up with a menu that sent our guests to the misty West Lake of Hanoi: bun rieu (crab noodles soup), green papaya salad with pork jerky, cha ca (tumeric fish), bap xao (fried corn with dried shrimp), homemade shrimp chips, and banh mi!

- Inviting Albert Law of Pork Belly Studio to take beautiful photos. Full set viewable here.
- Recruiting our friends and peers to help execute. A special shout out to Iso (forageSF), Jeff (The Original Pizzahacker), Andrew (LOW// Bicycles), Vien, Josh, Jordan (Stag Dining), John (Harley Richter Catering), Robyn, Hannah, Phebe, Chris, Sailaja, Amanda, Sean, Gianmaria, Ricky, Sarah, Ella, Eric (High Beam Media) and Kai (Nosh This)!
So…what was our visit with Anthony Bourdain aka Tony aka The Big T like? Well, after hustling for weeks straight and making sure our guests and team were happy and fed, we were just glad to take a moment to hang out with him and have a good old chat about how passion drives us to do crazy things.
(photo by Misha Tsukerman)
Our impressions of Tony:
- He’s very tall
- He’s totally comfortable to be around
- He’s a bit more fatherly than we expected, asking us how what our parents thought of our pop-ups and new careers.
Interesting factoids:
- He ate our handmade shrimp chips and banh mi (swoooon!)
- He spends about 200 days traveling (away from home in NYC).
- His camera man had just jumped into one of the pools at The Tonga Room. Whaaaa?
Check out this short clip of his visit and make sure to tune into the Travel Channel tonight (Jan 9th) at 9pm to catch The Layover San Francisco Episode!
For all of you who “don’t watch tv, just Netflix”, the episode is available for purchase on iTunes.
We’re excited to see Tony travel the city, hang out in dive bars, and on sit on little red stools!
- RPS Heads to Vietnam! (Literally!)
Hella dragonfruits. Photo taken by Valerie on her last trip to VN.
Katie and I are leaving January 21st for a month-long trip to Vietnam & China (HK/Shanghai). We’re going to collect new Vietnamese recipes and learn traditional techniques to share with all of you.
We plan on going from South to North. Our itinerary is still to be laid out, so we want to know where you guys have been, where you’ve eaten, and your favorite memories of Vietnam.
Please share your thoughts on our new Facebook page, at any upcoming events, or shoot us an email hello@ricepaperscissors. Look forward to hearing about your Southeast Asia stories!
