Thai Rice Rolls in Winnipeg
Our rice rolls are the fresh, light counterpoint to fried starters: soft rice paper wrapped around shrimp or tofu, rice vermicelli, lettuce and fresh herbs, served with a dipping sauce. They are a Popular Item on the Shaba Thai menu and a favourite first course alongside crab rangoon.
About Our Rice Rolls
Rice rolls, also known as fresh rolls or salad rolls, are made by soaking translucent rice paper and rolling it tightly around cooked shrimp or tofu, vermicelli noodles, crisp lettuce and herbs. Nothing is fried, so the flavour is clean and refreshing, and the dipping sauce brings everything together.
At Shaba Thai Cuisine, rice rolls are one of the most ordered appetizers, and Google reviewers who started with shrimp rice rolls and crab rangoon before Pad Thai and green curry describe everything as delicious. They are also naturally gluten-friendly and can be made vegan with tofu.
What Makes Our Rice Rolls Special
We roll them fresh to order so the rice paper stays tender and the vegetables crisp. Choose shrimp for a classic version or tofu for a fully plant-based roll. They are a smart choice for lighter appetites, students on a budget, or anyone balancing a rich curry.
Pairs Well With
Order rice rolls with crab rangoon for a fresh-and-crispy appetizer pair, then move on to Pad Thai or Massaman curry.

“This is the best Thai food I’ve had in Winnipeg! The portions are so big & the flavours are so so good! We had the crab rangoons, green curry, coconut rice, & the pad Thai.

“My new favourite in Winnipeg! We started with the Panang dip with fried naan. The dip was delicious - somewhat sweet and coconuty; paired with the crispy naan, it was a definite win. I followed it with the peanut butter stir fry with tofu…”
