Joe’S Steam Rice Roll

I love Joe’s and always stop by when I’m in Flushing. The rice rolls are so tender and fresh, and unlike any premade ones you will find. They also have a really yummy chili-oil… always add sauce! Perfect for a solo diner as there is minimal seating. But if you’re in a group you can take things to go and grab a table at any neighboring food court. The shrimp rice roll is my fave.

Flushing food crawl stop! Our group got the fresh shrimp rice roll, and there were soooo many people waiting with only a few (I think there were 2) people cooking that it took a good 30 minutes to receive ours. The general consensus was that while the shrimp was fresh and plump, the rice rolls were not as great-- they were still chewy but slightly mushy/grainy, and I've had ones with better consistency to know this is not ideal. I don't think it's really worth waiting so long, so I'll probably try somewhere else next time.

Joe’s Steamed Rice Rolls now has a new location inside the food court at New World Mall in Flushing. The rolls are made fresh to order and come with several free topping options to customize your order. The rice rolls are slightly thicker than most, giving them a chewy texture that makes them really satisfying. The chili hot sauce is optional but adds a great kick of flavor that balances perfectly with the soft rice rolls. Overall, this spot is a solid choice for a quick, fresh, and authentic snack in the mall.
