    Maybe I caught them on a bad day, but I didnt find joe's good. I think the steamed rolls only tasted okay after adding the peanut sesame sauce, but it shouldnt be like that. If the steam rolls are delicious it should taste fresh and silky by itself, and joe's was not able to deliver that. I also ordered the soy milk and it was unfortunately quite bland with some graininess to it. Staff were nice and it came out fairly quickly. Plenty of seating inside the food court.

    Steamed rice roll with minced pork

    $5 for that plate, it was originally full I just took the pic halfway. Silky smooth and super soft layers, very appetizing, I needed to add soy sauce since I wanted more flavor. Choice of 3 vegetables, I chose scallions, corn, and lettuce, all 3 are pretty much nonexistent as you can see in the pic. Minced pork was in the steamed rice roll itself, some slices didn't have any pork. In summary very little minced pork, it doesn't contribute to taste. There's also a choice of if I wanted eggs, as in pic the egg was so thin and it fused with the rice roll skin itself, didn't taste like egg at all. In summary this dish is just if you want smooth rice roll skin itself. Toppings are nonexistent. But for $5 it's not bad.

    Smooth, silky steamed rice noodle rolls at this food hall location. Bunch of different filling combinations available from the classic shrimp and beef to "loaded" with shrimp, beef, roast pork. We tried the loaded and it was prepared fresh. We suggest to-go if you want to avoid the noise and crowds. Add a little soy sauce and enjoy. $10

    Located in New World Mall, near the bathrooms behind the escalator. Their rice noodle rolls are delicious. You can add an egg for an extra $1. Soy milk is $3. The wait was 35 minutes on a Saturday afternoon. There were A LOT of people. You have to find your own seats. Be careful!

    I am not sure what my fiancé ordered but we were trying to have a quick breakfast after an appointment and everything from here is always so good. The rice roll is always so thin allowing for all the flavors from the toppings to come through. The other one was like a fried scallion pancake wrapped around meat which was also super delicious and lightly crispy. The service is always nice and quick which we enjoyed as well because we were both super hungry.

    Why 5 stars? Because I have a confession: I love rice rolls. --- --- --- I didn't even know what a rice roll was, and I'm still not sure I do now, but what I do know is that I want them in my life as often as possible in the future. Via Jando's guidance, we visited New World Mall and went staight to Joe's Steam Rice Roll. I ordered one with Beef, Scallions, Corn and Lettuce and then sat at the table next to the stall waiting for it. As I waited, I realized I missed that one of the items is called "Joe's Signature", which I would have ordered had I seen it. I missed that because their monitors have some kind of Roku advertisement flashing on the screen intermittently, which hides parts of the menu at various times. This screen glitch is my one and only complaint about my experience. Fast forward to my number being called and, praise sweet baby Jesus, I was in heaven. This was "dance in my seats in between bites" good. I think it was a combination of the fact that I hadn't ever had anything quite like it, AND that it was so delicious at the same time. I ended up finishing this, and visiting another stall. What I ordered at the other stall was perfectly fine, but I kept thinking about my first true love the whole time. Eventually, I told my friend, "I gotta get another rice roll before I leave this place." Much to his dismay, I did. Round two was the aforementioned signature roll. And guess what? While also awesome, I think my custom concoction was even better. I'm a steam roll guy now and that's that.

    Joe's rice rolls are delicious! It is located inside the New World Food Court in the mall. The rice rolls are made to order and you can add toppings inside as well. Each rice roll is around $6-8 depending on what you want. There are options for curry fish balls as well. Out of all the rice roll places I've tried, this place is my favorite! We got the fresh shrimp rice roll with corn and cilantro. It was fresh, soft, and tasty. Would definitely come back again!

    I've only tried rice rolls from 2 other NYC locations but must say this one is a MUST visit. The rice rolls had the perfect texture, not too chewy, not too soft. The filling was fresh and complimented the rice roll. I had beef, bean sprouts, corn, and scallions in mine, and you have to drizzle their house-made sauces and chili oil on it. I got my food pretty quickly and the staff was very nice. Chill ambience with a few seats for you to sit and enjoy your food. I'm gonna be thinking about this meals for days.

    Flushing location. This place is overrated. The space is so small. They have the first shop location in this small food court/hall, so they attract all the customers. The vendors in the back are so bored that they're on their phones. There is limited counter seating, and when people walk past you, it's easy to get bumped. It's not a comfortable eating situation for a big group for sure. I got the soy milk, and it was good. They have condiments, like soy sauce and chili sauce. No bathroom.

    I've tried Joe's in the city and was happy to see that they had a location in Flushing. Joe's steamed rice roll is known for their authentic cheung fun. The rolls are made to order and steamed in front of you. During this visit I got the shrimp and egg roll. The roll was floppy and delicate, just the way I like it. The wait was short, but well worth it.

    Specialty roll
    Mia H.

    Maybe I had my expectations too high, but I thought that this place was alright. Now, a stall in the New World mall, this rice roll stand offers a variety of your favorite breakfast dish--rice rolls! They're made-to-order and you can also add a bunch of different toppings to your rice roll (on top of the three free veggie choices that you get upon ordering). I got their specialty rice roll, which includes dried shrimp, beef, and a couple other toppings. I thought that it was okay. Although it was filling and had generous portions of the meat, I thought that the rice sheets were a bit thicker than I would typically like. Nonetheless, it was still a good rice roll spot, but just a bit overhyped.

    You can't go wrong with these classic steamed rice rolls - I actually prefer Joe's over the ones they serve at dim sum because the rice rolls are thinner and easier to enjoy. They also add extra stuff like egg, bean sprouts, cilantro, etc. and don't forget the chili oil and sauce! It is super affordable for a quick bite to eat and they have a new location in new world mall now since the mall they were originally in across the street is now closed. They also used to accept both credit card and cash but discount when paid with cash. IG: _acquired.taste

    Linnea E.

    I've ordered similar dishes at dim sum places before, but they never really left it an impression. Not true for the ones here though! Made to order and served hot, these were super flavorful especially after we loaded it up with chili oil! I'd recommend sharing because they are very filling. As a bonus, my friend and I were lucky to snag a counter spot so we could watch them being made while we ate!

    When is the best time to go in the weekend? Early in the morning to avoid long lines? thank you

    Hi. You can call the shop 30Mins + and tell them when you wants to pick- up. That’s should be more convenient

    Are they gluten free.?

    The rice rolls are, because they're made of rice flour. The sauce may not be if it's soy based.

    How long do rice roll orders take? I wanted to try this place today and they told me it would be a 40 min wait for the Joe's Signature!

    It depends on what day and what time of day you go but you can always order ahead in the phone. A lot of people do that so that's why orders take so long.

    Are there gluten free options?

    Do they do delivery?

    I don't think they do but maybe a Chinese delivery service. Better to just pick up!

    Are they open during covid?

    They just reopened for take out from 9am to 7pm

    Is there any parking near the Flushing location? (Preferably not in a garage, and anywhere in relative walking distance.) Thanks!

    There is a municipal parking across street of Queens Crossing building.

    What is the brown sauce on the rice rolls? Do they put it on automatically, or do you have to order it?

    Soy sauce. They give it to you on the side.

Service was minimal at best but they just seemed under staffed honestly. And when the server did come by, she was running quickly to and from. The place was not busy when my friends and I were seated. But there was a back room in guessing that had occupants since she was missing in the front seating area. (There was a two person table occupied in the front near us). My party of three over ordered but that was intentional because, any purchase over $100, you get a free lobster and each of us had items we wanted, figured we would doggie bag the leftovers. All in all a great value. The lunch spread had over 7 dishes and we got the free lobster. I was especially happy to see Fried Milk on the menu as an appetizer. They also provide complimentary salted peanuts and pickled radish and carrot slivers. I recommend the snow pea shoots, fried milk, clams with black bean sauce and the Chinese Broccoli with Filet beef. The other dishes like the lobster, noodles and sweet and sour pork were executed well but just not my flavor profile. And with my food allergy, I couldn't try the shrimp with walnuts but it was my friends' birthday so she ordered that for her treat. It looked great! There's complimentary parking if you validate your ticket with a nearby garage, but you need to spend a minimum.

The…read morerestaurant was fairly full and the strangest thing almost all the patrons were wearing their wool hats and coats while seated at their tables. We were famished and only focused on what yummy dishes to order. My wife, son and daughter all contributed their suggestions and we ended up ordering pan fried whole flounder, half of the roast chicken with garlic, filet mignon with Chinese broccoli, fried rice with chicken and salted fish and everyone's favorite dish salt & pepper squid. Once we placed our order and were enjoying the roasted peanuts and free spicy cabbage we realized why everyone had their winter coats on, it felt like they had the AC on and it must have been 55° in the restaurant. I told everyone that once the food arrived things would warm up. Each dish that came out of the kitchen was perfectly cooked and was delicious. The salt & pepper squid with it's minced jalapeños kept us warm enough until the half chicken with garlic and filet mignon and Chinese broccoli came out in rapid succession. The star of the show turned out to be the giant sized pan fried flounder which was not only big but quite scrumptious. Unlike the little scrawny flounder that most other restaurants usually served this was a quite large and very meaty and perfectly cooked. The last dish to come out was a very large plate of chicken fried rice with salted fish. If it were not for the lack of heat, I would have given Chef Wong Bistro 5 stars!

Definitely felt very conversational with family. Was not too quiet or too loud. Food: I don't think that the dim sum here was that good. It didn't wow me as much as I was expecting it to. I initially saw this on one of the Michelin Guide website, and I was expecting a little more out of this place. Of all the places that I've had dim sum at, I just feel like this was more okay rather than anything special. For example the shumai didn't have that "juicy bite" kind of feel that you usually get. Again, nothing about this restaurant was bad per se, but I just felt like this was in the lower tier of all the dim sum places that I've had. I think for this reason, it gets a 3/5 for me.

The noodles were perfectly al dente and I just enjoy creamy noodles to begin with. The curry fishballs are always a staple and the same goes with the steamed rice rolls with mixed peanut sauce. Cannot go wrong with those two appetizers. The sandwich was a little disappointing. I know the items are in the name of the sandwich but it fell really flat and I guess I was expecting a little more. The baked rice was not great either. It took a long time to arrive which we weren't upset about as we were warned when we ordered but for something that took so long, I expected it to be a lot better. Maybe we just ordered the wrong item and should've gotten the baked noodles instead of the rice? Overall the food was okay, the service was good and the restaurant liked very nice and clean. I enjoyed the fact that the menu was under a glass on the table so I was able to keep looking at it too while I was eating to see if there was anything else that looked interesting.

Cheap, tasty, authentic. Everything a Flushing noodle spot should be.
