My friend said she was going to take us to buy THE BEST STEAM RICE ROLLS IN NEW YORK, the same vote among her local friends in Brooklyn. So instead of waiting in the car for her to order, I decided to check it out inside.
The restaurant itself is pretty clean with limited seatings (2x4=8) since it is mostly for takeouts. Not sure if they provide delivery service but it’s only a phone call away to find out.
When I stood by the cashier, I peeked at the kitchen and saw two stone mills, which are used to freshly grind rice batter to make the steam rice rolls daily. So I asked the cashier to take some pictures of the stone mills for me.
When I ate the rice rolls at my friend’s house, they did taste full of fresh rice flavor that you can not easily get nowadays. My friend and her family all loved them and they order them very often.

Read moreBeen searching everywhere for anything that can be comparable to the rice rolls I’ve had in Guangzhou and these are it. I drive from Queens just to eat the rice rolls from here. They’re super thin, soft, chewy, and have a fragrant rice taste. I’ve tried all the well known ones (west rice rolls king, joe’s , fu yuan, yin ji…etc) and none are as good as here. The ladies are friendly and food is made fresh to order.
