Yi Ji Shi Mo Reviews

I had this place bookmarked for a while. Even though I already picked up lunch elsewhere, I happened to pass by and decided to order a few rolls since I'm not in Chinatown often. When you go inside, they are not going to acknowledge you. They seem very busy, with most of their orders coming in via phone. You just have to go up to the counter and tell them what you want or else you're just going to be standing there forever. I had the large pork roll (added egg) and curry fish ball roll. I really liked the pork one, but I thought the curry one was just basic. But I did like the overall texture of the rolls. We didn't eat them until maybe about an hour later, and the consistency held up - it didn't turn to mush or anything. There are a few items available that they don't have officially listed on the menu - like sesame paste, almond paste, and one of my faves - plain rice roll with peanut and hoisin sauce. So I know what I'll be ordering next time. (by the way, if you get a large order of anything, that should be enough to fill you up since rice noodles are filling overall). Next time, I'll just make sure to call ahead since each order takes about 15 minutes to make.

I ordered #1 and #2 combination. They blew my mind away. It was so good. I don’t know why there are few reviews in TripAdvisor. You can see more reviews in google. Don’t forget to put their special soy sauce. I went around 10 am. No line. The hype is true!

My favorite place to stop by whenever I am in Chinatown. This place is a hole in the wall that makes the most delicious, melt-in-your-mouth fresh rice rolls. My favorites are the cilantro scallion, BBQ pork, and dried shrimp. Prices are really great but the portions are a little small. I’d suggest ordering 2 large portions for yourself for a healthy meal ($5 for a large order). Also I loooove their peanut and hoisin sauce. Be sure to ask for it when you order so they can squeeze the sauce inside!
