Pretty good rice rolls (I much prefer the ones in Chinatown) but this is a good option in the Upper West Side! There is limited seating. But given the orders didn't come out very fast, by the time you get your order, there's a chance someone leaves by then.

So good, the rice sheets are super thin, whole family loved it. wish they'd come to California!

This place is great and cheap. The man who works FOH may be one of the hardest working hospitality workers ever. I'm deducting a star for two reasons:1. The wait time is getting out of control because they accept more orders than they can handle. Waiting 45 minutes + for a $5 rice roll on a weekend is ridiculous. Happened several times.2. A really environmentally unfriendly business that creates a lot of single use waste. It would be great if they could look into this, especially with multiple locations.

Honestly, this was one of the top best things I had in New York! But it was definitely a small shop and you would not see it unless you get directions! We had to ask someone at Macy's across the street because we couldn't find it among the rest of the shops! And it was pot rain that day, so with a hood on or umbrella, you'd miss it! But we were so glad we found it! SHRIMP RICE ROLL - The rice rolls are thin and silky! And we had a choice of other things besides just shrimp. So we opted for corn, green onions and cilantro. I loved it! I don't think I've had it this good anywhere! BEEF RICE ROLL - The rice roll steals the show from whatever it is filled with. Soft yet not mushy and just so GOOD! Beef and filling was good but I get blown away from the rice roll texture! Fast and friendly service and you just find a spot to sit. Luckily, it was an off hour, so we had seats for the 5 of us.

Totally forgot to take picture bc I was too exited to eat! Tiny place with just a few tables. Didn't see a long line but still had people dining in during non meal times! Affordable and portion size is fair! Good customer service! Definitely try the steam rice roll either original or the shrimp party! Definitely will come back again!

Solid place to grab a quick bite. I've tried their beef and curry fish ball rice rolls, along with the crepe. All three were delicious! The service is fairly quick as well.

Amazing rice roll at $7-10 right next to central park. Better than some I had in Chinatown.

Don't expect to long of a wait, or anywhere to sit. The place is small, but packs a powerful punch with every rice roll that you order. I would say order 1 - 2 of everything on the menu. They are excellent, and so light so you won't feel full.The staff is also super friendly singing in the kitchen, and bringing out orders every few minutes to everyone waiting in the shop.
Ordered signature rice roll for dine-in. Someone sent the food to my table. It tastes just so so, not as good as other Dim Sum places. The presentation was not good, making it look so cheap that you would not pay USD$11 for it although so many ingredients are inside. A bit disappointed.

Walked to this hole in the restaurant after visiting the Museum of Natural History. This restaurant specializes in rice noodle rolls. Joe's signature (5/5): this dish comes with dried shrimp, beef, pork, eggs, and three vegetables of choice. We chose scallion, cabbage, and onion. There was a lot this dish had to offer with all of its ingredients. The steam roll was super soft. Check this place if you want affordable rice noodle rolls.

The shrimp rice rolls are heavenly! Soft, tender and flavorful. Add some chili and soy sauce before you gobble it up. Order some to take home for later!

Awesome spot and easy to grab it to go. Their soy sauce is the best I've ever had. I'll definitely be back.

Shrimp rice roll is oh so delicious! Great snack before or after the natural history museum, just right down the street.
