Cozy Rice is one of my favorite lunch spots in midtown! I've brought a few coworkers here as well, and all have enjoyed it. The steamed rice rolls are so tasty (I think I've tried all of the fillings at this point) and always perfectly cooked. The portions and flavors feel like comfort food, but the meal isn't too heavy for lunch. It's also very reasonably priced for lunch in midtown at about $10 per rice roll. The Chinese crepe is also very good, but definitely a little heavier than the rice rolls. I like mine with pork floss for an extra bit of sweet and savory. The sides are also great, my favorites are the shrimp dumplings and the steamed egg custard bun. I typically do one of these in addition to a rice roll, and that keeps me full (and very happy) for the rest of the work day. The people who work there are quiet but friendly, and you can order at the kiosk in the stand. Alternatively, you can order ahead on their website - I usually order online and it's always ready within 5-10 minutes. The food hall is small and can get pretty busy during the lunch rush, but you can usually find seats. There are a few other shops in there, and I usually stop at the Kung Fu Tea for a drink to go with my lunch. Either way, it's close enough to Bryant Park that you can always sit and eat outside. read more

Located in such a convenient spot, I can see Cozy Rice being an easy go to spot for a quick meal. The rice rolls have a good amount of meat/toppings inside and are super filling. The sauce is on the saltier side, but it's also pretty addicting. But I think it's really good with the congee. Tbh I feel like the congee is more on the bland side, so it balances well. But if I only got the congee, I feel like I would have wanted a little more flavor. And definitely more preserved egg. The workers are also super super friendly! read more

As far as I know Cozy Rice is the only game for cheong fun in Midtown, and while it's not quite at the textural mastery levels of Yi Ji Shi Mo, it's an excellent option in the neighborhood. On a recent morning, I had the chance to try the zi-cheong (plain cheong fun) with both soy sauce and the peanut sauce. The portions are generous which meant that the sauce didn't provide the immersive coating I usually prefer. But other than that, having a quick breakfast here in this claustrophobic food court off of 38th Street made me feel like I was in HK. read more

For a food hall spot outside of Chinatown this is pretty solid. The thing to get is for sure the rice rolls / cheurng fun. Great texture on the noodles that would have me coming back. We also got the shrimp dumpling / har gao and the curry fish balls which were just okay. I'd say you can skip those unless you just really want to eat those dishes. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Cozy Rice - Combo 2 (2 orders) - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

Cozy Rice - a close up of a dish of food - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

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. read more

Oh my goodness, the rice rolls at Cozy Rice are my current favorite lunch food. $18.50 inclusive gets two rolls, with the shrimp being the star of the show. They're made fresh but my wait has been under ten minutes. They travel the few blocks back to the office surprisingly well. Hidden gem in Times Square. read more

Fast service and plenty of warm seating outside. Cozy Rice is in a small food market with several other asian food stalls. The shrimp rice roll was so soft and comparable to Joe's Steam Rice Rolls. I'd give this place 5 stars but the rice rolls are a bit expensive. I'd come back for the congee alone, though. There are bits of thousand year old egg which add a depth of savory flavor. So good. read more

Cozy Rice - Pork congee & shrimp rice roll - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

Their rice rolls are absolutely splendid: silky, delicately thin, and nicely filled with your protein of choice and one additional vegetable / garnish, gratis. (I chose beef and cilantro.) I don't think more famous purveyors of chang fen like Yin Ji Chang Fen have anything on Cozy Rice as far as the quality of the rice wrapper goes. The savory congee with thousand year egg is also perfect in its simplicity: It is a water, not broth, based concoction, made with lovely hints of ginger and bits of fresh carrots, scallion, mushroom (shiitake, I think, not the nasty button mushroom nonsense), and thousand year egg. This is exactly the kind of food one would want if one were convalescing, but thankfully one does not need to be sick to enjoy it! Don't sleep on the soy sauce / tea eggs. The shells aren't cracked well enough these days to let as much of the delicious marinade come into contact with the egg white as I'd prefer, but they do the trick in midtown. This place seems to have become quite popular! It can be crowded and busy during lunch, and everything is made to order, by hand -- so you may have a bit of a wait. It's well worth it. read more

I stopped by here during lunch and got the Preserved Egg Congee and Chinese Crepe. Both were honestly mid and lacked flavor overall. The congee was also not super hot. If you're craving good congee, I would definitely just go to Chinatown. They have delicious ones for super cheap prices and come out piping hot! read more

I was so excited to try this place but was a bit disappointed. I got the rice roll and congee combo. The shrimp rice roll was ok and fairly priced given its Midtown location. However, I do think they overdid it on the five spice seasoning and the flavor was a bit off. However, this might be a fluke and I'm hopeful that their other rice rolls might be better. On the other hand, the congee was incredibly bland. It felt undercooked (the rice was floating separately from the liquid) and the preserved eggs and other ingredients didn't add any flavor to it. I wished they had more sauces to enhance the dish, but hopefully overtime, it'll get better. Unfortunately, this place doesn't beat options in Chinatown. read more

Nice little mom and pop shop! Walk down the hall close to back and you'll find the little food stand. Food is made to order and you can watch them make it! We waited about 10 minutes for our food. Seats are available upstairs! We ordered: Grill Pork and Preserved Cabbage Congee Shrimp Steam Rice Roll Beef Steam Rice Roll Pork Steam Rice Roll All the steam rice rolls were good! The rice roll itself was thin which I prefer and each roll had enough filling inside it. The congee was very bland and light which I also prefer so I can adjust the saltiness of it myself. Nothing fancy but something just to fill your stomach if you're craving chern fun or jook. Grew up eating Cantonese food and this place definitely hit the spot. read more

We were a little disappointed by Cozy Rice. Located in a kinda hidden food hall in Midtown, Cozy Rice serves rice rolls and curry fish balls, both of which I love. The rice roll was not as thin as the ones you can get in Chinatown unfortunately. The curry fish balls looked really good but unfortunately were kinda flavorless? Maybe it was just an off day but I don't think I'd be back. read more

Such a great addition to midtown, adding to more quick asian lunch options in the area. You can't go wrong with any of their rice rolls, you won't be disappointed. Not only are they delicious, the portions are a good size (larger than ones I get in chinatown). I got the combo special where you get to choose a roll + congee/porridge, I can see this as my go to order from now on. I would skip the jianbing... 3 stars. There wasn't much egg and the sauce was alright. I think halfway through I was pretty much done and didn't want to finish the rest. But yeah come for the rice rolls! read more

Cozy Rice - Rice roll + congee combo - Dim Sum Near Me - New York, New York

Kind of difficult to find but you have to look for the food hall sign outside and there's other stalls selling different types of food. I was really craving steamed rice rolls and this was the closest location to me without having to go all the way to chinatown. Service was extremely fast however, the prices are a bit higher than the options you have in Chinatown. In terms of flavor, I really enjoyed the rice roll itself but the sauce they have isn't your traditional sauce you get at dim sum places or other rice roll locations. It actually has a hint of five spice powder which I honestly wasn't the hugest fan of as I like the more traditional sauces but it hit the spot. read more

Expect a long-ish wait as the steam rolls are made on the spot. I felt it was not comparable to other rice roll places. But for people not familiar with this cuisine this is passable. Though truth be told, I was not as impressed with this place. By the way do not order the curry fish balls they were cold and it didn't really taste of curry so that was a disappointment. The congee is only okay. I'll head to another place for lunch. There are tables to eat at in the back, so grab a table. The noise level is average. read more

cozy rice is amazing value for the food. The staff are really nice and it's just generally a tiny stall amongst a food mall. The meals are customizable, I ended up getting a combination of all the proteins. The last time I came, and it was just under $12 I think. It comes out really fast and I would really recommend it for a quick lunch stop if you're looking to get takeout. read more

You gotta try the beef brisket. That was moderately tender but had a really nice caramelized soy based flavor. Added cilantro and sesame with the rolls was amazing. The sauce was not your typical sweet soy sauce it was more of a salty umami black sauce. One big gripe is that it may not be filling for big eaters. Otherwise, I would definitely come again. Tried the shrimp as well but that was your basic. read more
