Passed by this place a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to try it. Came on a Saturday afternoon and they were pretty busy with orders and very honest about it. They told me that my order would probably take about 20 minutes. I'll definitely call in advance next time for pick up. I tried their shrimp rice roll, and roast pork with egg and scallion. Scallion is free to add and egg is 50cents to add. They cost a bit more than your average dim sum place but totally worth it. Their portion sizes are a bit higher than the dim sum size. Each order comes with three rolls. The texture is super smooth and very thin. Soy sauce is not watered down or too salty. Enjoyed both of the rice rolls a lot. If you're not too hungry than one order is more than enough to probably fill you up. They also offer curry fish balls and dumplings which I will be trying in the future. Will definitely be ordering from here pretty often! read more

Steam Box Rice Roll - Roast pork with egg and scallion, shrimp in back - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Out of all the steam rice roll places I've had, this was probably the most disappointing. My aunt picked up food from Steam Box on a Sunday and waited over 30 minutes, which is an insane amount of time to wait for rice rolls? I had the bacon corn, but tried a bunch of other rolls since others ordered different things. I would say the bacon corn and the meat lovers was the best one. The beef was woefully disappointing, there was barely any meat! We also had some curry fish balls and fried dumplings. The dumplings were definitely not fresh and made on the premises. They tasted old and like they were frozen before? The curry fish balls were also just spicy - I barely got any curry flavor. All in all, it was ok - but definitely not worth the 30+ minute wait. read more

Came across this new little shop while walking and noticed a line going to the corner of the block so decided to give it a try. Orders take longer as the rice rolls are made fresh so expect to wait no matter what :) FAVORITE: MEAT LOVERS rice roll and SHRIMP WITH SALTED EGG YOLK rice roll. The rice roll itself is so delicate and thin. Stuffing is generous. Serving is big compared to dimsum! read more

The rice noodles was too watery, and the minced meat was not fresh, possibly containing impurities. I tried it twice, but both times left me feeling unwell. read more

A bit pricey if ordering through the delivery apps. Food is good and the only decent rice roll place offering delivery service. Had the shrimp rice roll which was really good and nicely made since the rice wrap was nice and thin. read more

The noodles themselves are very thin and a smooth consistency with an al dente texture. Steamed for just the right amount of time to give it a bite but super soft. I ordered a couple rolls which I had fresh and one that I brought into work the next day. The noodles were still good the next day after reheating with a wet paper towel in the microwave. The soy sauce isn't similar to the dim sum restaurants as it lacked that sweetness that most dim sum restaurants serve. It tasted a bit like diluted plain soy sauce so not overly salty but lacking a bit. I think with a bit more tweaks to their soy sauce and it would be a top notch rice noodle stand. The fillings themselves depended on the rolls you order. They were generous with the baby shrimps in the shrimp roll. The beef rice roll had more of a ground beef texture as opposed to the beef paste at most dim sum restaurants. The hometown rice noodle was a bit lacking in toppings, it supposedly has sesame seeds, dried baby shrimp and a pickled veggie. There were about 2-3 itty bitty pieces of the pickled veggie in the noodle itself so I'd probably skip that one next time until they figure out the ratio for the toppings in that one. read more

I ordered four types of rice rolls from here as well as a milk tea. The milk tea, chicken rice roll, beef rice roll and pork were great. I liked that the drink wasn't too sweet like they are at some boba places and the pork rice roll was my favorite. The person who took my order was also very professional and nice. The only reason I am giving three stars is because of the shrimp rice roll. The shrimp was not deveined so the digestive tract/intestine of the shrimp was still clearly intact. (See attached picture) I ate a few before realizing it but was so grossed out by the fact that it was not prepared properly that I couldn't bring myself to finish my meal. I will happily give this place another chance if they take proper precautions when preparing the shrimp. read more

Steam Box Rice Roll - Shrimp rice roll. None of the shrimp were deveined. - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just found out about this new gem in Bensonhurst and have gone twice already in the past week!! The steam rice rolls here are so good and great value as well. I've tried Hometown Rice Roll, Curry Fish Ball Rice Roll, Beef Rice Roll and Shrimp w/Salted Egg Yolk Steam rice Roll. Definitely a must try and I'd gladly get the steam rice rolls here over the Chinese bakery ones. read more

The owner and its associates are born and bred in the Big Apple. Their ingredients, formulas and overall nueva york pizzazz are engraved in their products. If you're looking for commercialized, run-of-the-mill, fusion-crap then please don't come here. This establishment comes straight out of the school of Brooklyn Bensonhurst's cantonese no-nonsense kitchen steam rice rolling. They decided to open up even during the pandemic because they believe folks need to be fed right throughout their day in order to get New York back on its feet. Support the local businesses anddd Don't forget the home made Hot sauce**. read more

1. I really appreciate that the sweet cashier lady speaks English! She was so sweet and polite. And the menu is so easy to read and understand. I don't speak canto. 2. The menu is more expensive than some other rice rolls at surrounding dimsum/bakery spots. However the quality and quantity in my opinion was worth it. Fresh and bigger portion, hence the slightly bigger cost. 3. The place is clean! read more

This place is small but clean and just oh so good. Was in the area and craving steamed rice rolls. The food here just hit the spot. Their home made sauce is *chefs kiss* Staff was super friendly and helpful which is a major plus. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area. read more

Impressed by the silkiness of the rice rolls! The layers are thin and almost see through and the quality of the batter and ingredients makes the price more than reasonable. The serving size is also pretty large for each order. This tops all churn fun you get at dim sum restaurants even east harbor (gasps). I enjoyed the beef with added egg the most and also loved the curry fish balls. read more

-- bacon and corn -- meat lovers -- shrimp and salted egg -- curry fish balls -- tea eggs -- Mei fun with pork Love this place. Tea eggs don't have that tea egg flavoring, but the rice rolls are perfect. :) I always call ahead, otherwise it's a wait. They make each one from scratch. Love this place! Buy all the rice rolls! read more

I ordered takeout from this place and I can pretty much say that, after this experience, I would never try again. Here's why: - The spiciness from curry fish ball was nice, but the texture of the fishballs was not as bouncy as I hoped. Also, the curry sauce was too watery. - The rice rolls itself had really good texture. However, there were barely any meat (beef and shrimp) inside. It's like I paid extra just to have couple extra bites of meat. NOT WORTH IT. Also, the shrimp DOES NOT taste fresh. - Overall, who would pay around $6 for an order of rice rolls that have barely any meat? This feels so overpriced and you're better off ordering from Chinese restaurants during dim sum hours. The subtotal was $16.25 for an order of beef rice rolls, shrimp rice rolls, and curry fishballs. read more

The best rice rolls in Brooklyn! This is my go to breakfast on the weekends.

I love LOVE this place. I'm absolutely obsessed with steam rice rolls and was so happy this placed opened up in my neighborhood. They are so fresh and the service is always amazing.

One of the best places to get rice rolls. The rice rolls are very smooth in texture and the fillings are good quality. It's so good but the wait is long. I suggest to call ahead. So far I tried the shrimp, beef, hometown, cilantro, and dried shrimp roll. Adding green onions, cilantro and bean sprouts are free of charge. They are usually $5 a box and the shrimp is 50 cents more. My favorite is the hometown roll which contains black sesame, dried shrimp, and dried turnips and the beef rice roll is one of the best I ever had. The beef is not ground beef, it's actually chunks of beef. I like that a lot. There are no seatings and they take their time to make. It's very fresh and they slice up the rice rolls into pieces which makes it easy to pick up with chopsticks. read more

Favorite place in the neighborhood to get rice rolls. I really like that there are many toppings to chose from, where some of the toppings are free as well. Everything is freshly made to order, so I recommended you call ahead so you don't have to wait! It takes about 15 or 20 mins usually to get your order ready. Highly recommended, give it a try! read more

CASH ONLY. Delicious Cantonese style, thin rice rolls, SAME pricing as a regular size at at Chinese dim sum restaurant. free scallion and cilantro topping :)) THEY ACTUALLY REMOVED THE VEIN FROM MY SHRIMP! * 6 pieces of shrimp on my 3 piece rice roll* read more

Mmmmm. The rice rolls here are delicious. It's cheap and super filling. You have endless options and endless toppings. There are long wait time if you order on the weekends so plan ahead for sure. The rice rolls are honestly the best thing to order from here. The furry fish balls are just okay not the best i've had. The tea eggs aren't bad but they're not amazing either. Wished they were more flavorful. If you live in the area and need a quick breakfast or snack this is a good place to come to! read more

The best rice roll spot in Bensonhurst if you like thin noodles, which I do. My fave is the shrimp and salted egg yolk, it's packed with flavor and definitely the most bang for your buck! Most rice rolls run from $4-$5 here, with additional costs for extra toppings, but worth it because the servings are pretty big and I get really full off just one roll. Their tea eggs and curry fish balls are pretty good as well! read more

Steam Box Rice Roll - Steamed pork + scallion rice roll and shrimp + salted egg yolk - Cantonese Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Just discovered this place, usually I have to travel all the way to Chinatown, Manhattan for some good rice rolls, but this will have to do. Ordered a few rice rolls: 1. Beef with egg and cilantro - noodles were really soft and fresh, beef was full of flavor 2. Plain with Cilantro - plain but very good 3. Shrimp with Salted Egg Yolk- it was good, the only thing I have to complain about is they dont clean the shrimp thoroughly.....(so there is shrimp poop) Others: 1. Tea eggs - full of flavor 2. Curry fishballs - ok, a little spicy Overall, I would come back but would not order any shrimp ricerolls. read more

Was craving shrimp steamed rolls. I love the ones at dim sum and go go. These were even better. I will def be going back. The lady was so nice and the place is super clean. (Ate too quick to attach photos :) read more

We got shrimp and egg, beef and egg, pork, and corn and bacon. My absolute favorite was the shrimp and egg. I would say my least favorite was probably the beef. It was very minced and didn't have a great texture in my opinion. I definitely recommend adding egg to like all of them! It really amplified the taste and made them more filling. We were very pleased with the prices, portions, and the staff was very kind and patient. Will definitely go back! read more

New kid on the block. Prices are a little on the pricey side, but the portions and taste is worth it. Ordered the beef, pork, shrimp and curry fishball. The proteins are seasoned, I really dig that. A lot of places will just leave em unseasoned and let the soy sauce do the work. +1 read more

Steam Box is by far one of my favorite spots for rice rolls and har gow. They take cash only, but you can also order pick up through Uber Eats. I usually get shrimp rice rolls at dim sum, but the char siu was by far my favorite. It was extremely well seasoned and pairs great with the shrimp har gow. You can add cilantro, scallions, and bean sprouts for no extra charge in any of your rice rolls, which I would highly recommend adding. read more

Was really wowed by the customer service here during COVID. I presume the owner was working that day, and you can tell that she truly cares about her customers - she packed an extra order for her elderly customer and refused to take any cash for it probably since the order was rather large and it became a complimentary type of thing. She double wrapped the bags and tried to finesse a way so that it would be less heavy for grandma to hold. You can call ahead and order (which I didn't know at the time) so I did a walk in and my order came in relatively fast. The noodles were so silky and smooth that it slipped down my mouth in a matter of minutes and I finished my rice noodle order in a matter of minutes! Definitely would come back for the quality of noodles and great customer service! read more

This is a new place that opened up recently. They have some delicious steam rice rolls. It is similar to Joe's. There is a big selection of rice rolls and you can also add extra toppings. I really liked the meat lover roll where I added shrimp and egg making even better than the original. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Was really craving some fresh cheung fun and was happy to find this newly opened places on yelp! The lady working in the front is quick and friendly. She speaks both english and cantonese, so it's no hassle to order. They have a variety of cheung fun, all made to order and you can customize the ingredients you want inside. The noodles take anywhere from 15-30 minutes depending on how busy they are. I think they tend to be busier in the mornings, as it's a popular item for breakfast. It would be a good idea to order on the phone before you go so you don't have to wait around. They also have other breakfast items like porridge and tea eggs, as well as asian drinks like iced milk tea or lemon tea. The cheung fun are delicious- so fresh and silky smooth and thin. This is my new go to spot for whenever I'm craving cheung fun! read more

So far it's the best rice noodle I had in Brooklyn. My favorite is the shrimp rice noodle. I also like their milk tea and curry fish balls. I recommend to call your order in because sometimes they are very busy. read more

This was not my cup of tea. Price is great, and it is exactly what it advertises to be but I found underwhelmed with all 9 of the types I tried so i dont think I'll be going back. The texture felt weird, many of the bites only had roll, none of the other innards, and the actual flavors often tasted like nothing. Pork tasted like rice roll, shrimp tasted like rice roll, kimchi broke through that... kimchi was probably my favorite of the mix. Anyway cheap but bland was my final reaction. read more

Made to order, fresh and super tasty rice rolls! I also recommend the tea eggs as well! Very well seasoned and delicious! I ordered the pork and duck egg congee and it was ok, it could have been cooked longer so the rice would be more of a porridge consistency and the flavors of meat would seep in more. Overall I would definitely recommend and order rice rolls and tea eggs again. Tip: it's cash only read more

Consistently delicious rice rolls! Their prices are a little high for the neighborhood, but they can afford to charge this since the quality of their dishes is very good. The actual restaurant is tiny with limited seating so we always do takeout, usually for breakfast. read more

We were in the mood to get some Joe's Steam Rice Roll, but were too lazy to go into Manhattan. So, we decided to give this place a try and the end result was that we wished we ordered more. We got their shrimp steam rice roll. The noodles were thin and soft, which allowed them to soak up the delicious sweet soy sauce concoction. read more

One of the best Cantonese-style Steam rice rolls (Cheong Fun) in Brooklyn. The rice for the roll is ground daily using an electric power stone mill. Made fresh every day. Its priced very generous in time like this, for me with 1 order, it really fills me up at first I thought they made a mistake and putting 2 orders in one, I ask the boss, she said that is 1 order. The texture is smooth and thin. It's a simple 2 pages menu with 1 listing all the drinks and second, provide all the Rice rolls and you can customize, also the choice for Hong Kong-style curry fish balls. Only wish they have one in Staten Island, even after the next day, just microwave with a wet napkin and it's damn Good again. For me they might need to improve the meat one. read more

The service is so amazing!!! The lady was super sweet. And the food was delicious. I've had eat in, and delivery. Both great!

Satisfies my morning dim sum cravings! Only thing is they seem to skimp on ingredients where they can. I'd say the shrimp roll is probably the only consistent roll as they count how many pieces of shrimp they add to your order. read more

Best steam rice roll in Brooklyn. i personally enjoy the pork and egg rice roll and their tea eggs. The soy sauce is unique and has its own flavor to it. Overall, the experience with this restaurant was excellent and i will definitely return. read more

Best kind of thin rice noodle texture and variety of fillings (similar to Joe's Steam Rice Rolls from Flushing & the city). They don't have as much sauce variations but you can make that at home. Curry fish balls were good, it was actually a little spicier than other fishballs I've had in the past. Tea eggs were average,I would pass on that. Totally recommend this spot for trying! Finally, a decent rice noodle specialty spot in Brooklyn. Oh, btw, you can build your own! read more
