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.
Unfortunately, along with rising prices, the consistency of my recent orders has declined. I used to enjoy getting a few rice balls (BBQ Korean and Kimchi Salmon), but on my last few visits, it seems that the filling-to-rice ratio has diminished in at least one of the rice balls. I might be willing to accept the higher prices due to inflation, but not if the quality or quantity of the food is compromised. In this case, I've experienced a decline in both. The reduced filling transforms the meal entirely, and it's quite disappointing.
I’ve been enjoying these rice balls since they had a food truck, but the new owners have completely ruined the experience for me. First, they’ve compromised the quality of the ingredients, and now they can’t even fold the rice balls correctly. As soon as I took mine out of the bag, the filling fell out along with the plastic wrap. It truly pains me to write this review, but I don’t think I’ll ever eat here again. The new owners are also rude; when I called to let them know about the filling issue, they just hung up on me.
Additionally, I found the service to be a bit awkward. When I ordered for someone else today, they called me to confirm the name for the order, which I found unnecessary and off-putting. You can't fake hospitality, and the difference in atmosphere between the old Koros and the current setup is striking. Unfortunately, it doesn't create a very pleasant environment at the moment.

Koro Koro is absolutely amazing! As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I appreciate being able to enjoy all their dishes without worry. The only thing better than their delicious rice balls is the warm and welcoming staff. I highly recommend this little gem in the heart of Jersey City.
Listen, you can never go wrong with the Spicy Salmon (GF) and the BBQ Korean (GF) rice balls! Always a fave! I ordered the Soup Combo, which is great. I wish it was a tad less in the salty side. But there was a hearty portion of delicious tofu! Koro Koro always hits the spot!
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
Great snack during our visit in Jersey City. The place was clean, Matt was very helpful and the food was tasty. Would definitely recommend ! Book a table now
They provided extra rice balls because there was a shortage of Miso Butter Shrimp Musubi.
Wow, these rice balls were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the salmon kimchi.
