"There are a lot of places selling rice rolls in Chinatown, and many of them are worth your time. The cheong fun cart at Hester and Elizabeth, for example, and the little takeout window at Sun Hing Lung. But our top pick is Yi Ji Shi Mo. The rice rolls here are exceedingly thin and delicate, like edible sheets of silk. There are a bunch of different varieties (starting around $3), but be sure to get the signature version with shrimp, pork, egg, and bits of chopped cilantro. It’s one of the top dishes in the neighborhood." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, neha talreja, will hartman
