4/5 Special Rice Roll: the purple glutinous rice had such QQ chew, so satisfying! Personally for me the filling was a bit mayo heavy, and would have loved more pork floss. Very generous with the veggies tho! This would make for a great small and compact lunch option, and love that they are made to order.

A great place to grab a snack . Their purple rice rolls are pretty good. I ordered takeout from them and they were pretty quick to prepare my order. I got their special rice roll with chicken added to it. The rice roll itself contains a good amount of things in it and you choose what kind of sauce you want in it. They have the choices of mayo, spicy mayo, garlic? And some other sauce choices too. To be honest, I didn't really pay attention to what was actually I'm the rice roll when I was eating it because the spicy mayo made everything kind of ... blend together? Lol I just know it tasted good so yeaa... hehe I also got their peanut and walnut hot drink (with red beans added as a topping). It wasn't bad, not too sweet but I didn't really taste much of the walnut... . Overall, I would definitely come again to try their other ricerolls like their Eel one, their spicy Squid one and the spicy beef ones too.

The restaurant itself is tiny, its only take out which is fine since I associate rice rolls with grab and go anyway. The price hovers around $5 to $6 which I would say is affordable. The taste is fine, overall a solid cheap eats.

Solid 4 star. It was cramped with 5 employees. Not a sit down. It's a hole in the wall shop. I ordered the pork with pickle veggies. It's a classic item. I liked it but was not a fan of mayonnaise. There was mayonnaise in the middle. Before buying, ask if they use any sauces. If I knew there was mayonnaise I would tell them to leave it out. Then the rice roll will be good.

My husband absolutely loves this place. The rice rolls are really different and very simple. One roll can fill you up really good. Don't order their drinks though. Didn't have any good experience with their drinks.
