Chinatown Rice Rolls Steamed Fresh at a Cash Only Counter
Grab Chinatown rice rolls steamed to order with shrimp or roast pork, plus a homemade sweet soy drink, beside a tofu shop.
🥢 Cantonese Breakfast on Henry Street
Sun Hing Lung is a Chinatown counter for fresh rice rolls, set alongside a tofu shop where the rolls are also made for wholesale on site. The steamed Cantonese specialty takes fillings such as shrimp, roast pork, egg and Chinese sausage, and each roll costs only a few dollars. Curry fish balls and homemade sweet soy drinks round out an inexpensive menu.
Local students use it as a quick breakfast stop, and the counter moves faster than the food carts nearby. Choose a filling, add a side or a house drink for a fuller morning, and watch the next batch come off the steamer. Plan for cash only, cards are not accepted, and keep small bills handy.
At 58 Henry St, the counter is open daily from half past seven in the morning to half past four in the afternoon, which makes an early start the easiest way to catch the rolls at their freshest.
