Steam Rice Roll King
2228 Irving St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked into a gloriously cramped corner spot, Steam Rice Roll King honors Toisan tradition with hand-ground rice rolled fresh to order—each one taking a patient five minutes to emerge silky and pillowy from the steamer. The beef brisket rendition, customizable with free toppings like green onion and mushroom, showcases tender meat cradled in that delicate, stone-ground wrapper that no machine could ever replicate. For under ten dollars and a little elbow-to-elbow intimacy with fellow rice roll devotees, you're getting something genuinely rare: old-school technique in a city that's mostly moved on.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.
