Super disappointing! I ordered the shrimp and spicy salmon. I got a tuna one instead of the shrimp so that was unfortunate. The tuna was okay, bland rice ball overall. The spicy salmon itself was good but the avocado inside of it was bad and had the stem. I would have rather the employee just tell me there is no avocado then what I received. I ate it right after purchasing so it was not sitting around for an extended period of time. Also you can see from the pictures the avocado is not just brown from air exposure but brown all through out. The employee was friendly and the rice balls themselves were wrapped correctly. Wish the quality and attention to detail was at a higher level.

Very delicious. It’s my first time eating at this place. I had the Onigiri of the Day which was a Coconut Curry Chicken onigiri (the yellow curry one in the photo), and I had a Salmon & Kimchi rice ball (the pink one). Both were different than the traditional ones I’m used to but they were very flavorful, creative and delicious.

My favorite place to grab lunch in jersey city. This cafe has amazing rice balls something I wish I could find in other towns – Yes I do travel just to get a delicious bowl of miso soup and a rainbow Masubi. Staff is super friendly and the service is super fast. Great if you’re in a hurry and want a healthy choice. Owner is super cool and knowledgeable. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

$5 for a bland rice with a few tiny pieces of bland ingredients? No thank you.

We loved this place. The owners were friendly and they were welcoming, it felt like the best place to go in the neighborhood. The food was delicious. All the rice balls were as described on the menu and I also got a delicious turmeric tea. We will definitely be back.

Walked by here a few times and finally decided to try the rice balls. Wish I came sooner! We ordered 7 different rice balls and all were incredible. Will absolutely be back!

I used to LOVE Koro Koro, been eating these rice ball since they had a truck. However, the new owners have ruined this place for me forever. First taking liberties with the quality of ingredients and now not knowing how to properly fold the rice ball because as soon as I took it out all the filling fell out with the plastic wrapping still unto us. It geniunley pains me to write and leave this review but I’ll never eat there again 🙁

I was really excited to try this place but unfortunately very disappointed. I ordered the BBQ Korean, spicy chili chicken and salmon kimchi rice balls as well as the spicy Tuna dip and seaweed salad. Both the salmon kimchi and spicy chili chicken flavors were so salty. If it were more flavorful I would be ok with it but it tasted like straight up salt. The spicy Tuna dip on the other hand was so bland and just tasted like tuna mixed with spicy mayo without any other seasoning. The BBQ Korean flavor and seaweed salad were ok but also nothing amazing. Overall might give it another try and order other flavors but not impressed.
