Joe’s Steam Rice Roll has opened at 422 Amsterdam Avenue, between 80th and 81st Streets.
The steamed rice roll is a Cantonese dish made with thin rice noodles and filled with meat or veggies. Joe’s rice roll is differentiated in how they make their rice batter; they prepare it with fresh rice ground by a stone mill, combined with their in-house “secret mix,” according to their website. This, their website states, creates a “one-of-a-kind soft and chewy texture.”
