We've been coming here for rice rolls since they first opened, and we've always enjoyed both the food and the service. This recent visit, however, truly stood out. I ordered a plain rice roll for my baby and mentioned that my baby has an egg allergy. The staff member kindly let me know that since they use the same steamer for items containing egg, they couldn't guarantee it would be completely egg-free. I told him that was okay, as we're in the process of reintroducing egg. When my order was ready, he shared that they had gone the extra mile--they washed all the pans and utensils, and even prepared a fresh batch of batter to avoid any possible cross-contamination. I was genuinely touched by the care and effort they put into accommodating my request. It meant a lot to us, and we truly appreciate their thoughtfulness. read more

Stopped by here to pick-up a beef rice roll before visiting mom. I placed an order for three minced beef rice rolls, two shrimp rice rolls and a beef brisket rice roll. There were so many nostalgic items that I ended up also getting a Chinese tamale and some rice cakes filled with egg custard. Because the rice rolls are made to order, it took close to 30 minutes for my order to be ready. Upon getting to my mom's, I realized they didn't give me my beef brisket roll and gave me an extra shrimp roll instead. Overall, I enjoyed the rice rolls and would go back again to try the beef brisket and other flavors. read more

Such a great addition to the neighborhood! I do miss the old hole in the wall Loi's, but I wish the owner a happy retirement. Now a much brighter but smaller place, the name speaks for itself. truly some of the best steamed rice rolls I've had in the Bay Area and so close to home! Brisket roll (5/5) tender chunks of brisket that tastes like it's been stewed all day, this is my favorite item on the menu. add some corn, green onion and an egg, you got yourself a hearty breakfast or lunch! Other items you can't go wrong with is the shrimp and bbq pork rolls. Portions are really big so 1 order is good for two people if you don't eat a lot. They also sell a variety of sweets and dim sum items Staff is very friendly and fast paced! Rice rolls came out in about 5-6 minutes. Highly recommend read more

I will have to come back here to actually try a rice roll because I bought it for my dad. lol I asked the location what was the most famous or popular rice roll and toppings so I chose the bbq pork, green onions and corn. I just sat on the bench and on the counters a few people were eating. This place is better as a take out and not much seating just stools, and bench . There was a constant line of people coming in ordering and taking out. They make everything fresh in the back as you can see them cooking the food. I just waited patiently. They call you and you pick up your food. Good thing they remember you and know what ordered I ordered and called me over to counter. I brought it home and opened it and wow, it's pretty big portions. My dad told me wow and it was good he said. So I will need to go back and try it for myself. Good that I don't have to go all the way to Chinatown to pick up one of these. It may cost a little more but if you are in this side of town I feel distance is worth the price read more

Came into the shop at the perfect time since it wasn't too busy. I initially tried using the robot ordering system, but the touchscreen tapping feature didn't work well for me, so I ended up ordering with the staff instead. After placing my order, the lady at the counter let me know I was only a few dollars away from qualifying for a complimentary soy milk drink. Because of that, I decided to add another item and opted for the hot soy milk, which I believe is made in-house. I was happy with that decision in the end. The rice roll wasn't as thin as I personally prefer, but overall it was still tasty and the portion size was reasonable. As others have mentioned, the shop is quite small. There are two high tables with about six stools total, along with a bench, so seating is definitely limited. Based on what I observed and the interactions I heard, the team here seems genuinely nice and accommodating. I would recommend this shop and will definitely return because of the quality and service. read more

You picked what kind of meat and you can choose 2 free toppings like green onion, pickles, mushroom, corn or etc. I love how fresh the rice rolls taste. The one with egg tastes even better. I would recommend to add eggs to the rice rolls. The bacon and sausage are my favorite. I would definitely visit again!! read more

If you're looking for authentic rice rolls, Steam Rice Roll King is the spot. We got the shrimp roll with scallions and the BBQ pork roll with mushrooms, plus an iced soy milk, warm soy milk, and chrysanthemum herbal jelly, everything was delicious. The rice rolls were soft, chewy, and perfectly textured, and the fillings were flavorful and well-balanced. The soy milk was a standout and honestly some of the best I've had and so nostalgic, it brought me right back to childhood. The space is small and clearly popular for takeout, but if you dine in, the staff are friendly and give great recommendations. The whole experience reminded me of eating at hawker centers in Singapore--simple, comforting, and full of flavor. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to! read more

First off, the drinks are a bargain and it's a really good size -- taro coconut milk with sago $3.95 -- a little sweet but refreshing. I love steam rice rolls but is it just me or are the prices a little too steep? So we checked out what else they had to offer and fell for: $4 Fried sticky rice ball -- this is horrible. It's dense AF and flavorless. I'm an idiot. $3.50 for 3 Ham Sui Gok which translates to salty water triangle. These were soggy, not crispy. The filling was also something I didn't enjoy. There was some kind of pungent spice they used. I may be back next time to try their rice roll if I'm in the area. They do seem very popular despite the very small space. Everyone was coming and going. Service is quick. They prefer cash. read more

Order at a kiosk and wait while they put your order together. I did see a cash sign at the counter, and a woman answering questions about the food on display, but I think even that customer ended up ordering via the machine. I picked up two rolls unaware that the portions were generous. I picked up a fish and a pork, both delicious in their own way. The fish was ultra fresh, and the pork was very tender. While there are some seats, they are on a counter against the wall and a counter facing the window, maybe six seats in total. It's not a place to linger over your food. read more

Wanted a quick bite and walked by this place. Order online or at the kiosk and then you can pay with credit card otherwise cash if you order at the counter. Small space but there are two counter tables with 3 seats each if you want to eat in. Lots of locals seem to come and get their rice rolls. Quite a few choices on fillings Buttery soft rice noodle steamed fresh and hot. This actually surprised and impressed me. Whole shrimp firm and nice texture not soggy Beef filling tender and not dense. Need to add chili sauce and soy sauce to bring out the maximum flavors Excellent and a must try will come back soon read more

A solid choice for pretty darn good rice rolls done NYC-style with a super thin nearly translucent texture with savory pork fillings. Walk on in and order at the kiosk to your left, or directly with the counter help. Once your order is placed, wait a few minutes for your order to cook up. This is a grab-n-go kind of hole-in-the-wall restaurant, with a small counter and tall stools along the window to consume your order right there on the spot. Most people just get their food to go. Ever since a trip to Joe's Rice Rolls in Flushing, NY - one of NYC's Chinatowns, we have been hooked on these super thin handmade stoneground rice rolls filled with different savory fillings. This style of thin-skinned rice roll is different than what you find in most dim sum places where the rice rolls have a much thicker less delicate bite. It's almost like comparing a Blondie's pizza vs. a NYC pizza slice.. Woah..there's a parallel there! My usual order is a rice roll with minced pork filling. You get two free toppings with any rice roll. I add corn and bean sprouts. The soy marinade you drizzle on yourself is light and just salty enough to not overpower the rice roll. Still, the skin could maybe be 5% thinner here, but it's definitely deep in the correct ballpark. .4.6/5.. We enjoy coming here for a quick breakfast treat - faster than a sit down place. Just eat n go! They also have porridge, deep-fried sticky rice (hard to find), Chinese Tamales and a small selection of drinks too. read more

i definitely did not expect to like it as much as i did just by the appearance of the store. it's a small togo place but it has a couple of seats to eat inside. we got the shrimp rice roll and it came with two free toppings. the rice rolls were freshly made to order. it came with a small container of their soy sauce but they also had bottles of soy sauce and chili oil at each seat. the soy sauce and chili oil made the rice rolls 100x better. overall, what a hidden gem and would come back whenever i'm in the area. read more

If you're looking for an affordable spot for lunch, with delicious rice rolls, this is your spot. I got the shrimp rice rolls, and they allow you to add two toppings for free- I chose bean sprouts and green onions, but they also offer mushrooms, corn, cabbage, or lettuce. The chili oil was amazing, make sure to put it on your rice roll. The service was friendly, but I ordered over the tablet. There are two small tables in the restaurant where you can eat if you're lucky enough to grab a spot, but it is mostly to go. For around $8 for a filling plate, you really can't beat the price and freshness! We'll be coming back soon. read more

My fav at dim sum restaurants is the steam rice rolls and love a place where i can just get that. There is some sitting but it is a more of a to go spot. You can order using the kiosk or the person behind the counter. I used the kiosk and every rice roll you order, you get 2 free toppings... Nice! It is made to order so there is a 10 to 15 min wait. They also had some very affordable dessert that I picked up as well. Got my order and the portion size is plentiful.. Double the size of what you get a Ji chang and cost less too. Taste is great too. This is definitely be my go to spot when in the city and craving some steam rice rolls and some dessert. read more

Can't wait to try more rice rolls here! I'm excited for this addition to the neighborhood. We ordered the beef rice roll plus corn, a plain rice roll and their dried scallop porridge. I liked that the rolls were really thin and delicate. The owner even double checked on my order that I didn't want any additions on my plain roll. I will be back to try their soy milk and herbal tea! read more

WHEN: Sat @2pm I've bookmarked this place for quite some time now and glad to finally try it! It's cash only but you can order through the Toast app if you don't have cash (which is what I did). When my partner ordered he kept getting errors and we figured it was because he would log in as only a guest. I had a Toast account that I logged into and was able to successfully order: FRIED STICK DOUGH - $2.50 I know people only order this with thier rice porridge, but we enjoy it as a savory snack. It was crispy, chewy, and wonderful as we expect! Snacked on this while we walked looking for a bench to sit and eat our rice roll so it held us over for a bit hehe. MINCE BEEF ROLL - $7.50 What's fun is you get to pick up to 2 toppings for free and I chose GREEN ONIONS and PICKLED CABBAGE. So what they do is they cook those toppings into the rice batter. Of course it comes with that sweet watered down soy sauce like at the dim sum restaurants. THIS WAS DELICIOUS!!!! It's a pretty big order so that price is really good! The rice noodles was soft and very thin, and the mince beef was tender and soft. I may. Not see the pickled cabbage but I sure taste it and it was sweet and lovely, along the green onions. I really really enjoyed this and boy was I happy camper! Seating here is limited to about 3 booth seatings at the window. Ordering through the Toast app did cause a delay and it took awhile until our small order was ready (15 minutes). The order is made to order, and with the limited seating, we walked several blocks to find a free bench to sit and eat. read more

This place mainly serves steamed rice rolls, y'know the ones you find at dim sum restaurants. But here, you don't have to wait for a table and you can customize them however you like. Easy and convenient. We usually like our steamed rice rolls pretty basic. On a recent visit, my husband and I got the steamed rice rolls with shrimp and one with beef. Both topped with scallions and cilantro. We also got a herbal tea, a zongzi and some egg rolls. I don't remember much about the zongzi tbh but I'm sure it's fine since I have no complaints. Everything was good given that we can get all these as a fast food takeout. There's a small area where you can eat your food. Service was friendly. Located on Irving and 24th Ave. read more

I'm a fan of the scraped style cheong fun and was excited to try this place. I ordered online and it was ready for pickup when I arrived. I ordered 2 rolls, the shrimp and the lap cheong/lap yuk (sausage/fatty pork). I added green onion, corn, and mushroom to them which was complimentary. I was expecting a smaller portion but was surprised that they're double layered. Sauce and rolls tasted good and I also thought it was a pretty good value at about $9/each. Overall good experience. read more

I really wanted to like this place too... Finally stopped by the other weekend and got an order of the shrimp noodle rolls with green onion and corn. We also got an order of the beef stew noodle rolls as well. It was nice day out so I decided to also try their taro coconut milk with sago. It was pretty small inside and a few people waiting for their order. There were like two bench like tables with a few sauce bottles for you. We added a little bit of the peanut sauce and chili oil onto a roll of each order when it came to the peanut sauce in case we did t like it. Both orders came with sweet soy sauce, but I would recommend adding more before you leave. The shrimp didn't taste fresh. It had a good snap, but had a slight aftertaste. The beef stew one was better, but needed more beef stew. The taro coconut milk with sago was pretty good! I personally prefer the rice noodle rolls you get from a dim sum place over these. I may have to give it one more try, but from a different location one day... read more

Came here since my favorite spot next door is closed for the next three weeks and noticed a sign advertising free soy milk with a $10.99 purchase on Tuesdays--lucky me. One of my go-to dim sum dishes is steamed rice rolls, so I decided to give this place a try. I ordered the beef rice roll with two free toppings: cilantro and green onions. The rice roll was fresh and thin, with the meat and toppings nicely layered inside. The light soy sauce complemented it well, soaking into the rice roll just right. I only wish they had sriracha that wasn't watered down. There are a few window seats if you want to dine in, but the spot mainly focuses on takeout. Ordering is easy with their QR code if you prefer to skip the line. They also have Chinese baked goods and traditional sweets available. I tried the ham sui gok and wouldn't get it again--the filling was good, but the exterior was overly oily, soggy, and cold. These are usually crispy outside and chewy inside, so if you do get them, I'd recommend refrying or air frying at home for the best experience. The cold soy milk was refreshing and not overly sweet, which was a nice touch. Overall, a solid spot if you're craving rice rolls in a pinch. With a few tweaks on their fried and baked items, this place could really stand out. read more

It's hard to find cheung fun outside of dim sum restaurants, so I love that Steam Rice Roll King specializes in just this dish. It's yummy comfort food! It's to-go only with no seating and cash only in person, but you can use credit card if you order online. I've tried the beef brisket, shrimp, and Chinese sausage and ham rice rolls, and my favorite is the beef brisket. The meat portion size is actually pretty sizable, and the noodle sheets are nice and thin. Each comes with two free toppings, and I usually opt for Chinese parsley and mushroom slices. Their chilled Hong Kong milk tea is also pretty decent and authentic, and I appreciate that it's not watered down with ice. The soft and chewy red bean rice cakes are an enjoyable little snack. I wanted to try the giant fried sticky rice ball for fun, and as expected, it's dense and heavy and had that old fried oil flavor. I probably wouldn't recommend that one, but everything else hits the spot! read more

We've passed by this place many times and often wondered about it. Small store front with a few bar stools, if you wanna eat in. But it seems more people get them to go. Just to let you know, the guy behind the cashier doesn't speak much English. He was more comfortable speaking Cantonese. They do have a kiosk if you'd like to order that way too. We ordered a beef brisket rice roll with corn and green onions to share and wanted to try it fresh, so we dug into it there. They give a good portion of pretty soft and fresh noodles, but there wasn't much beef brisket. If only they added more meat, it would have been 5 stars. Soy sauce, chili oil, sweet sauce, peanut sauce and sriracha were available on the table for you to use. I enjoyed the made to order rice rolls and thought it was better than expected. I'll be back to try other varieties when I'm craving rice rolls! read more

When I was a kid and went to dim sum, my favorite dish was Beef Chong fun with its slightly sweet soy sauce. Dim sum was priced based on how expensive each dish was (small, medium, large). Well, this dish was always expensive for some reason and I felt bad that my favorite dish was one of the more expensive ones. Well, now you can find stores that specialize in just this dish. Took a little while to get our order, but each dish is made from scratch and freshly made, so will take longer. This is just a hole in the wall store with 2 or 3 counter seats if you want to eat there. Overall the rice roll is nice and thin, so you can actually see the ingredients in there. You can also get 2 free additional adding. I got green onions and mushrooms. Tasted yummy and a little better than a good dim sum place! Will get some again! read more

Rushed over after watching an IG video about this place in the sunset. It's so hard to find great rice noodles outside of Chinatown in the city so I was very excited to try. Each dish is steamed fresh and it has such a soft texture without it being mushy. The noodles were silky! We wanted to try a variety so ordered the beef brisket, bbq pork, and fat beef slices. Some of the meat was a bit on the drier side so it was good that there was sauce. The sauce is a nice sweet soy sauce and there's plenty for the entire dish. It was nice that you can order 2 toppings for free. Definitely will be ordering from here again because it just feels so homey! Parking is not great on Noriega, but you can circle around a couple times and you'll get lucky. There's only 2 seats inside so I would suggest taking it to go and eating it as soon as you can so it's still warm. read more

I kid you not, I truly believe good soy sauce MAKES a good steamed rice roll. There's nothing more satisfying than the drizzle (or dump) of the entire container of soy sauce onto my rice roll. Even a mediocre streamed rice roll can be redeemed with good soy sauce. This place tops it all. Good soy sauce, amazing rice roll, and fresh toppings. All under $10. As a matter of fact, it was $8. But, this place is to-go only. (Which is probably the thing that's keeping the prices low.) The locals love this place and all of its appetizers and small treats. My mom also love their black sesame cakes. Hope this place remains a gem on Irving. read more

Really cool place for steamed rice rolls and prepared Chinese desserts. I really like their fatty beef slice filling as well as their BBQ pork rolls. The rice roll noodles are super thin and delicate and are my favorite I've had in the last few years.

They also have specials on Tuesdays/Thursdays (?)for bonus savings which is nice.
