Steamed Rice Roll
Bruce H.

I enjoyed a delivery order of Combo #2 for breakfast. It consisted of a steamed rice roll which includes beef, shrimp and egg plus added corn, scallion, and bean sprouts and a small container of sweet soy sauce. This was the first time I've had a rice roll, but it is similar to items found at dim sum. The rice roll is quite large, with a soft texture but it holds the food inside fairly well. I poured the soy sauce over the entire rice roll. I would say it is quite tasty but needs the soy sauce. Commonly, a hot sauce is also used but this was not supplied. I found it to be very tasty and well made. Also included was egg and pork congee, perfectly made, and satisfying. Delivery was fast and well packaged. Highly recommended.

Came here as a quick breakfast. The place is kind of empty and it was hot inside. It is a food court with few tables and this is the only place that opened early. The batter for the rice noodles was thin which was good, but the ingredients wasn't. The price was a little higher, but the portion is bigger than those dim sum place.

i ordered the beef brisket rice rolls and it was wayyy better than I expected! the brisket was flavourful and the rice rolls were so pillowy soft and perfectly chewy the way it should be. highly recommended!

Combo 2 Steam rice roll (beef, shrimp, egg, vegetable) and congee (ordered pumpkin)

We spent the day in the city to check out the holiday decorations and wanted to try something new besides dollar pizza (the default for hubby). I was thrilled to find a steam rice roll place in midtown. Located in a small food hall with 2 levels of seating, Cozy Rice is located towards the back of the food hall. You place your order at the kiosk and they will text you when it is ready. We went with the combo 2, beef brisket steam rice roll and fried dough steam rice roll. They were all sooo good! The rice roll was silky and it soaked up all the sauce. The pumpkin congee was very good as well. Will definitely be back!

Shrimp rice roll

Located in a small food court (38th Street food court). Serves excellent rice rolls. We order 4 different rice rolls (Shrimp, BBQ pork, Briased Brisket, Pork). They were all very tasty. I was pleasantly surprised by the brisket rice roll as i have never had it brisket in a rice roll. Really friendly staff. Definitely will be back, I recommend this place.

Located inside a small food hall with a section with tables for seating! They make the rice rolls completely fresh as i saw them pouring in the batter to steam right after we ordered so that is nice. It was nothing too special overall but very comforting as this is the type of food i grew up with :) Steam rice roll (beef, shrimp, egg, corn) - thin and delicate skin that holds the fillings together well! Very soft, meat was not necessarily moist but definitely not dry and overall the fillings helped make it yummy! They default to one soysauce and a chili oil on the side. The chili oil helps it be a bit less boring and i think the soy sauce could be more flavorful even conisdering i got a second container of it (split among the rice rollls and congee to help). 3/5 Preserved egg and pork congee - A little bit more watery than i would have liked and lacking toppings to make it more flavorful. pork is a bit dry too. Taste like ones my mom made at home but she wasn't the best chef lolol 1.5/5

Combo 2 (2 orders)

TLDR: It's food that is perfect for a cold day and a good option for a light meal at an okay price. Steamed rice roll: You get a bit of everything (beef, shrimp, egg, veggies) wrapped in very thin rice sheets that I enjoyed. I won't recommend adding all of the soy sauce provided because it will take over whatever flavor the rice roll has. This is definitely snack material or light snack material. Preserved Egg and Pork Congee: It's a little bit on the bland side, but this is a good thing for some people who are okay with congee not having strong flavors. The soy sauce from the rice roll can give the congee a bit of a kick. I had hoped the portions on this would be a touch bigger, but I guess we're staying with the theme of "light meal." The ground pork and preserved egg are cut into small chunks, which makes this dish consumable without chewing. I prefer my congees on the thicker side. This, unfortunately, was not one of those congees. Service: You order at the food stall inside a food court before paying for it. You're expected to come get your food when the store provided beeper activates, but the staff actually delivered the food to us since the food court was basically empty when we visited. Ambiance: The establishment is in a modest food court, so there's nothing special about the space. However, I get the impression that it may get hectic during the lunch rush of a workday.

Inside 38 foodhall! It was really good here! The price was very good too! I just wanted a snack but i had to taste a couple dishes since im here. Both shrimp rice roll and preserved egg congee was delicious!!

The beef rice roll is amazing here. I also get a plain rice roll and customize it by adding bean sprouts and lettuce to it. Then I add my soy sauce and a bit of chili oil and like heaven on a plate! I also get the preserved egg congee and that's very good too. I always come here when I'm in the Bryant park area. This is in a food court mall on 38th street. There are about 8 to 10 food vendors here.

The food hall is kind of hidden and it can be quiet. The pork rice roll was great but I wish they had some sesame sauce. The har gow shrimp dumplings are decent.

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could get freshly steamed rice rolls in the heart of midtown. It's kinda crazy that my favorite street food is becoming...trendy... now? I'm not complaining if that means I can escape my corporate office in the middle of the workday to get my ultimate comfort food for lunch. Yesterday, I ordered the grilled pork (aka roast or bbq pork) steamed rice roll w/ scallions (1st veggie is free/included) and for an extra $2 I added curry fish balls. The total came out to be a bit over $10 which is so reasonable for midtown. I ate it immediately inside the quiet little food court, and the quality of the noodle was perfect. Fresh, light, delicious. Cozy Rice is basically a Joe's copycat without the variety of sauces. I wish they offered the peanut and hoisin sauces in addition to the classic soy, but they did have chili oil which helped elevate the dish. I wouldn't go out of my way for this (go to Chinatown, folks!) since this is purely for the convenience of us employees in midtown during working hours. Catch me coming back here on my hybrid in-office days.

Shrimp rice rolls, beef rice rolls, sweet potato congee
Christine S.

Great spot for a quick bite and cheap eats!! Our rice rolls were $7 and the sweet potato porridge was $4 - I believe there's also combos if you want to try a little of everything, but the rice rolls are pretty customizable with various toppings you can add There's limited seating so would recommend getting food to go, but you can't beat the price for food in midtown

Complimentary tea is served for the table. I ordered the L2. Crispy Garlic Chicken, 102. Yin Yang Chow Mei Fun, 2. Har Gow and white rice on the side. The chicken was my absolute favorite! It was perfectly crispy and so tasty. The mei fun and har gow were wonderful. Service was spectacular and food arrived quickly. Overall, the chicken stole the show for me and I definitely will be returning to get another order of this.

I'm a big fan of Cantonese cuisine, so I was excited to try Uncle Lou's! I went on a weekend…read moreevening, and they were PACKED. There was a wait list, tons of reservations, and the whole place was hustling and bustling. The food smelled amazing, and the ambiance was lively and fun overall. We were excited to eat! We were walk-ins, so I appreciated that they were able to get us in. The hostess was running a very tight ship - very "no BS"/no nonsense ... and hey, I get it, it was crazy, but at times it erred a bit unnecessarily rude? It just left me feeling a bit off, but not the end of the world. Food-wise, we tried a lot of different things. The highlight was honestly the scallion pancakes. They were DELISH! Not too doughy, not too dry, and the vinegar dipping sauce was amazing (I know it's just the standard vinegar but dang it's so good). It was a classic really well executed. The steamed pork dumplings were also quite yummy. For our mains, we got the garlic baby bok choy, beef chow fun, and kung pao chicken. The beef chow fun looked amazing and we had heard really good things about it, but unfortunately it was a little dry and lacked flavor... just sort of bland? We ended up pouring some of the vinegar sauce over it, which helped, but I was a little disappointed because it looked so good. The baby bok choy was really loaded it up with garlic chunks and was also yummy and a good portion. It was juicy and had a great texture, but my only note was that it felt like it needed just a little more seasoning or salt? Overall, though, it was good. The kung pao chicken was INTENSE. I knew it'd be spicy, but truthfully it was my first time ever trying it and it was a tad difficult to eat without rice. The chicken thighs had a texture that felt a little gummy to me? I wished the chicken had been a bit more browned too. The peanuts and veggies rocked, but the sauce and chicken were huge misses for us. I typically would never send anything back, but my friend insisted as it was tough to enjoy. They did take our dish from the table... but then a manager brought it back and was a bit condescending towards us saying they didn't do that and everyone knows it's a spicy dish... which, I'm trying to be fair about because he didn't know it was my first time, but it just again felt unnecessarily rude. I hate wasting food, so we kept it and took it home rather than let it go to waste. I just thought the whole interaction was a little strange. Truly - I wasn't really looking to get something for free. We just didn't enjoy the dish and were trying to figure out what our options were and it basically felt like he just came over to make us feel small instead of problem solving together. Weird. I'm always one for second chances so I'm hoping to try it again, but I would highly recommend making a reservation to ensure a calmer experience.

We had to wait for about 10 minutes and got our table for two upstairs. My wife was craving the lobster sticky rice so that's what we came for. We added the rice roll casserole and the mushroom with pea shoot leaves. The food took a few minutes to get to us but was overall ok. Nothing mind blowing but it scratched the itch. The service, however, sucked. They gave us another table's congee which we informed them we didn't order. And after our food arrived, we never saw the waitstaff again, until our check. I couldn't even get a refill on my water. And when the manager gave me my check she pressured me to give them the tips in cash and not charge it. I said fine but truthfully I tipped them more than they deserved.
