We stopped by for a quick bite to try their steamed rice rolls. We ordered the beef rice roll, egg rice roll, fried mushrooms with garlic, and the dry chili lo wontons. The rice rolls had a great texture, silky and soft. I preferred the beef over the egg. The fried mushrooms were tasty, though the menu photo showed oyster mushrooms, and what we received were regular white mushrooms. The wontons were good, but I preferred the beef rice rolls more. I also liked that dining in comes with a complimentary glass of warm soy milk, which was a nice touch and not overly sweet.

This place is very good! Food came out quick. The rice rolls were so soft and tasty. I only wish that the roll was hotter. When it came out, it was luke warm. The beef brisket noodle soup was very flavorful and the meat was tender. They were unfortuntely out of the soy milk so I could not try that but I hope to come back!

I liked this place!! Unassuming, your typical mom and pop shop, Steam Rice Roll King serves cozy cantonese eats that are authentic and homemade. Service is friendly and after you are seated you are greeted with a fresh cup of housemade warm soymilk. Not too sweet - perfect for the Asian palate. We got the shrimp rice roll and the beef rice roll. The rolls were not heavily seasoned and were light in flavor. The texture was chewy, fresh, and had a "QQ" texture. Definitely a step up from dim sum places! While I didn't try their other offerings, they look worthy of a return visit!

Having been away from the Cantonese scene in Portland for a few decades got me worried, but with restaurants like Steam Rice Roll King, I am not as concerned that Portland Chinese restaurants will lose the unique Cantonese flavor. This place specializes in Cheurng Fun, or the "rice roll" often eat at dim sum restaurants. You'll find some great HK style comfort dishes too like Xiduoshi (french toast with condensed milk), very smooth juk, and others. You'll want to try the different Cheurng Fn variations, including the shrimp, cha-siu, and beef versions. Servers are very polite, and the eating space is maintained well. Highly recommended for some good Cantonese style comfort food eats.

We ordered; Golden Beef Rice Noodle Salted Bone Congee Salt & Pepper Chicken Tips Shrimp Rice Roll Beef Rice Roll Fried Chinese Donut Wait - It was just the two of us. 40 minute wait. Restaurant was full at 1:00 pm. Be prepared to wait a long time! Service - One gal working. I'm sure she was overwhelmed, but didn't show it. I wanted to help her clear tables. We waited about 20 minutes for the first few dishes. Food -The Golden Beef Rice Noodles had a robust, flavorful broth. Recommended. Salted Bone Congress's was too salty. I would not order again. Chicken Tips are just that - if you like bone and skin. It was ok, but not ordering next time Rice Rolls - Nice "que que" texture. It was good. Recommended. Chinese Donut - Typical greasy fried dough. Rancid tasting. Oil needs to be changed. Overall, I would return and will go right when they open.

Steamed rice noodle with shrimp
Diana X.

Ordered take out from here and also got some homemade soy milk, which I forgot to take a picture of. It was delicious and I hear it's free if you eat in store so I'd def like to do that sometime. The steamed rolls are quite good, just a little bland, I would have liked two containers of the sauce for extra flavor. The fried mushrooms were okay, probably wouldn't get those again. The golden beef rice noodle soup surprised me with how good it was! The broth had a lot of flavor and was delicious. Congee was pretty good, the shrimp steamed rice noodles were also a little bland. I added some chili oil to help. Wontons were decent but not amazing. Overall I'd say it was pretty good food and I would still want to try more of the menu, maybe more of the steamed rolls and with extra sauce.

The lo mien brisket and won ton noodle soup

Found the Rice rolls on this side of the PNW! Plus a variety of complementary dishes on the menu! They're experts on the rice rolls - we had the beef and the pork and it was perfect - the meat was blended so well into the rice rolls and the sauce that went over was a perfect combination. We also tried the lo mien noodles and the brisket sauce was a plus. cooler days called for us to add the won ton noodle soup and it hits the spot - the broth was tastefully made! Don't forget to try the Chinese donut plus the congee - it's the perfect pairing! Quick service and beautiful decorations - make you smile the whole time! A good sized parking lot although - definitely support a local business here!

Pros: they make really good steam rice rolls, I mean, better than what I had in Seattle, Vancouver BC, Taiwan, and maybe HK! Rice noodles is also decent. Fast service. Friendly staff/owners. Cons: typical Chinese restaurant hygiene (good enough not to get sick but you just know there is room for improvement), wontons are so so.

The rice rolls are the best (maybe only) in Portland. I was impressed by how thin they were and the flavor was solid. I would come back for the rice rolls!

soy milk
Kathleen N.

We arrived on a weekday for brunch and were seated right away. They gave us warm soy milk. It was sweet, warm, and nutty! I ordered the Si Chuan Spicy Sauce Lo Mein, Beef Rice Noodle Roll, and Shrimp Rice Noodle Roll. Fyi: the lo mein had pork! It wasn't what I was expecting but it was overall ok. Not too spicy. As for the rice rolls, they were good!

I was taken here by my friend as she had been raving about the steamed rolls for quite a while, and that got me excited about trying Steam Rice Roll King as well! When we arrived at noon on a Saturday, we found ourselves waiting in line since seating was very limited. When we finally got seated, we ordered a bunch of rice rolls and the staff quickly brought us complimentary hot soy milk which was a nice treat. All the steam rolls were very tender as they were made to order. The texture of the homemade rice rolls was smooth and tender, which is hard to come by in the US. While the rice roll texture was great, the favor was a bit lacking. We ordered several rolls and they seem to taste mostly the same somehow. Also I wish the dining area would be more pleasant. The entire time we felt very restrictive as tables were close to each others, and the waiting customers cramped in the entrance area. Overall, we did enjoy the food and might order take out next time we crave some freshly made rice rolls!

First thing's first, the rice roll texture is really delicious and fresh here. Unfortunately it lacked a bit of flavor and needed a lot more soy sauce imo. The shrimp was a little tough and overcooked. Im curious to come back here and try a different meat filling. The bbq noodle soup was decent. The broth wasn't too heavy and the bbq pork was salty enough to balance out the light broth. For $13 it's a great deal for a meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant is bustling. The servers are busy but they attend to you pretty quickly. Really awesome service considering the crowds they pull here!

This place was decent! I really liked the rice rolls and chicken wing tips! Unfortunately the wonton noodle soup was not good. The soup was had a strong flour taste from the wontons. And the wonton wrappers were thick.

Ask the Community - Steam Rice Roll King

Are the rice rolls gluten free? (A previous answer says the rice noodles are not gluten free because they contain rice flour, so I would like to clarify that rice, even glutinous rice, is naturally gluten free.)

Yes, all rice is gluten free and steamed rice roll are gluten free. However, you should look over the menu to check if they serve other non gluten free items to avoid cross contact if it's a serious allergy. Also most sauces contain some kind of… Read more

What's the difference between the stone rice roll and the steam rice roll?

A stone rice roll is a streamed rice roll. There is no difference. Stone rice rolls refers to how the rice was milled-- through a stone mill. Not all rice rolls are stone milled but all "stone rice rolls" are steamed.

Are the rice noodles gluten free?

No, they are made of rice flour as one of the main ingredients.

The fried rice's flavor was pretty muted..I prefer a little saltiness in my fried rice and it honestly had barely any salt? It tasted like plain rice with a little soy sauce and maybe oil flavor? Just not very aromantic in general.. I disliked the Mandarin Crispy Chicken the most as I had an issue with the breading. It was very thick and each bite felt more breading than chicken..The flavor of the sauce was good but with how thick the breading was, the inside of the chicken had no flavor at all once I bit in.. Perhaps we ordered the wrong items, but I don't think I'll be back to try any others at least for now. It was a Friday night so it was busy but I'll say service was good and we had a minimal wait time!

We rolled…read morethrough Portland and stopped for a few plates, and everything punched way above a typical highway stop. The smashed cucumber salad was super refreshing -- lots of garlic, crunchy, and exactly what you want after hours in the car. The green onion pancakes came out crispy and satisfying, but my favorite was the wood ear mushroom. They did something to it that made it insanely umami and savory, like a dish you keep thinking about later. The fried rice was solid and full of flavor, and you could tell the kitchen cared. The dining room was pretty empty when we went, so maybe it's newer or underrated, which feels unfair because the food deserves more people. Parking around there is kind of a hassle and the neighborhood isn't the prettiest, but this is a definite stop for me next time I'm in Portland.

Shoutout to everyone still working on Thanksgiving Day! Because of hardworking folks like you,…read morepeople who don't celebrate holidays like me can still eat out. I'm super grateful. Before coming, I did my homework and checked reviews on Chinese review website. The opinions were kinda extreme, some said it was terrible, others said it was amazing. Since it was only a 1 minute walk from my hotel and actually open on Thanksgiving, I went for it. I ordered jalapeño beef 小炒牛肉, veggie chow mein 蔬菜炒面, and string beans 干煸四季豆. The beef came out first, and the first bite surprised me. It didn't taste like the jalapeño beef from other Sichuan restaurants. It tasted exactly like Cantonese beef with gailan, but with green bell peppers instead. Instead of tingly spicy, it had a subtle sweetness. If you're Cantonese, you probably know exactly what I mean. The veggie chow mein was good and reminded me of late night street noodles in Guangzhou, and it also had a slightly sweet touch. The string beans were good too, and didn't have any sweetness. There was some savory minced pork in it. If you're not a strict vegetarian and don't mind a little meat in the dish as long as you only eat the veggie part, go for this one, it was flavorful. While having dinner, I overheard Cantonese in the kitchen between the chef and staff, and ahhh, that explains why I tasted the Cantonese flavor in my dishes! It also explains the two types of extreme reviews. So let me be honest, if you come here expecting the Sichuan/Hu'nan version of stir-fried beef with a strong spicy profile, you might be disappointed. But for me, it was honestly a lucky hit. I did see some Sichuan spicy dishes on the menu, but I didn't order them, so I can't say if they're authentic. But based on what I ordered tonight, I was happy with everything.

The place was full of hungry locals and tourists but was uncustomarily quiet and calm. From the hostess that seated us, to the waitress and servers, all staff and management were extremely polite, positive and helpful. We were starving. So we ordered 3 entrees and side of Dry-fried String beans. The Green Beans were cooked perfectly and the serving size was generous! One of our new favorites is the Mongolian Chicken. Is not a spicy Chinese food dish but the moist chicken and seasonings produced a yummy & comfort food level dish! As usual, the lightly battered & deveined Butterfly prepared Salt & Pepper Shrimp was mouthwatering, with every bite. As the last entree to be served. The ten Chicken & Vegetable Dumplings were fresh and flavorful. Needless to say, with only 2 patrons eating lunch with 3 heaping entrees plus Dry-fried String beans and white rice - we took home 2 more meals worth of Chinese food leftovers. Definitely dine in at this Old Town location or order To Go!

The service was kind of weird/awkward about IDing us for drinks. I assured her I was happy to grab my ID and she was kind of rude, alluding to the fact I look old and she doesn't need it haha. As our food started to come, our friend noticed a long black hair in the chicken dumplings. We notified our server and she investigated the dish on our table. This rubbed us all the wrong way because you should believe your customer and take the plate from the table and maybe exam it in the back/kitchen? We didn't like the hair deter us and everything was truly delicious. We had pork soup buns (good, but not very soup-y), pork wontons in chili oil (yum!), chicken potstickers (probably my favorite), spicy chow mein (delicious), the dry fried green beans (so good)! We were stuffed. I ended up telling the server that we wouldn't need the new chicken dumplings and she was very rude and taken back by that. I feel bad to inconvenience them, but none of it would've happened if there wasn't a hair in the food? There were other small, rude things our server did but ultimately, it didn't ruin our night or take away from the delicious food! I would recommend the restaurant with the warning that the service is lackluster.

Typically at most Chinese restaurants, especially fried dishes, you'll see a pool of oil at the bottom of the dish. This is not the case here, and their sauces also keep their oil usage to the minimum. The food doesn't feel as heavy, and they nail most of their Szechuan flavors well. Their service is always fast and friendly. There is a gentleman in glasses that is always happy to serve and answer your questions. He is always happy to pack your food for you to go if you have leftovers as well, which is a lovely gesture. They have very cute decorations inside, from lucky cats with fortune cookies in their mouths, or a painted wall with a Panda cooking delicious food. I'd steer clear from their soup dishes, most of them lack flavor. I highly recommend their Chopped Pepper Fish and their Jade Tofu items though. Very flavorful and not very heavy!
