Koro Koro Rice Ball Cafe

Recently changed owners. The people behind the counter were not wearing masks or hairnets despite preparing food, which seems like a given these days. The rice was way too warm- I guess I have maybe unrealistically high standards for this kind of thing because I lived in Korea for a couple of months, and I ate better rice balls sold at 7-11 there. Like, much better. The rice shouldn't be molded when it's so warm. I love that it's all gluten-free, but they ran out of soy sauce so I was left eating this giant ball of warm rice with cold filling. Just sort of a weird thing. It's cheap food, though, I guess. Lol.

We were so excited to try this place, as we?d been missing home (Asia). The flavor profiles seemed really interesting too! Grabbed 5 today and are so disappointed. Since rice is the main feature, the rice should be stellar. But each one had dry, tough rice ? not cooked with enough water, or they gave us the bottom of the rice cooker. The filling didn?t live up to their promise either ? too little, too dry, not as interesting as the descriptions. Wish they had experimented with flavored rice to complement the filling. Doesn?t take much to make a great rice ball. Wish these were made with more love.

This is an on the go review for a cute and yummy on the go spot. A few blocks away from Grove path station, this little cafe offers cute onigiri with both old school and fusion vibes. If you need something to hold you over without weighing you down, Koro is the solution. May I suggest the spicy salmon. Enjoy!

I'm not an expert for rice ball, but I found it very good and of great quality. It is very hearty and really cheap for such quality of ingredients. I will come back
