Nestled in Canal Street Market, this fast-food stall offers a modern take on Cantonese rice noodles, perfect for a casual dining experience in Chinatown.
"Mei Leung, a street vendor who sold rice rolls above the Canal Street subway station, retired at the start of September." - Luke Fortney
"Joe's Rice & Noodles (Chinese noodles, soups, and wontons)" - Robert Sietsema
"Over the weekend, the obsessively made rice rolls of Joe’s Steam Rice Roll made their East Village debut. Owner and chef Joe Rong opened the standalone location for his Cantonese shop at 36 St. Mark’s Place with investor Alex Lin. Rong has developed a cult following for his rice rolls since launching the business in Flushing in 2017, building a reputation for grinding his own rice for the dim sum standby. It’s his third location." - Serena Dai
"Rice rolls are all that’s on offer, and better than at dim sum, here you get a whole plate of the stuffed rice noodles to yourself for $5 to $7. I ordered the shrimp and opted to add sprouts and scallions, topping it all off with a sprinkling of sesame seeds. It made for an ideal late afternoon snack, and I’m looking forward to a return trip the next time I’m in the area." - Eater Staff
"Shrimp Rice Rolls that end the food tour at a Canal Street market to round out the day. Order at the Kiosk and shop around as you wait. As you can see they were so good that we ate most before remembering to take a picture." - Ally Tuzzo
