Brown bear boba (black milk tea with brown sugar boba) and taro milk tea with boba
Jessica E.

Had some boba here in Burbank after brunch...very fresh boba. So many boba places here in Burbank to try as well!

Blue Crab, Spicy Tuna & Shrimp Tempura to go!
Crystal G.

The rolls were soo good! I tried three for my first time there. I thought the BlueCrab would be my favorite but my fave was actually the Shrimp Tempura. They were all great, though, and it was a good amount of meat that made me happy. I preordered through Grubhub and the service was fast. I believe my order was ready before Grubhub predicted it would be ready. I don't remember much about the ambiance although it had the same vibe of one of those frozen yogurt places. The place looked clean!

I ordered the taro slush. The lady who made it didn't even wear gloves to put the berries on top. She used her bare hands. Even if she washed her hands. I dont want her bare hands touching my drink like that. I would feel better if she wore gloves. The drink was terrible. It was all just powder of the taro. It wasn't even mixed. Spent 22 bucks for two drinks that were made terribly. Never again will I return. I didn't even drink it. I was just disgusted chewing on the taro powder.

Poke bowls
Alis A.

Service was rather slow despite ordering ahead of time before arrival via Yelp. The place however was clean and neat in appearance. I would rate this poke 7/10. I was chewing a piece of salmon and immediately spit it out as there was a bone in it. See picture. They are also pretty conservative with toppings here. The jalapeños were sliced in half and there might've been only enough for 4 whole pieces. Same with the cucumber, the odd spaghetti ch umber was not very appealing in this bowl. Whole sliced would've been better. Overall clean place, but like other review said this poke was average.

*Boba Review* I was looking forward to trying Kokoroll as I was in the area and looking for a new boba spot to try. First off, street parking was easy to find which is always a plus especially in that area of Burbank. When I first walked in, I couldn't help but be overtaken by an overwhelming metallic smell. I ordered a Taro boba made with almond milk and extra boba. Didn't seem like they gave me all that much extra boba which was a little disappointing even though I paid for it. The boba itself was so warm in temperature that it made my entire drink warm which wasn't great because I ordered a slush. The boba was also hard on the inside, not soft and chewy like I would have expected. The worst part was that my drink itself was very powdery/grainy tasting. Almost like when you mix protein powder into milk. I wouldn't come back here for the boba.

Poke Bowl with 3 protein
Jasmine N.

3.5? it's not bad but it's not great. I've tried a few times and it is inconsistent. What I experience often is that the brown rice can have clumps or it seems undercooked or not fresh. Sometimes I can taste this tap water flavor in the fish or seaweed salad. I really try to mask it by mixing it up more. The unagi isn't good quality, a bit slimy. And their boba drinks are no good for me. Thai iced coffee is interesting but wasn't a fan. The cups are large though.

The Poke Burrito was incredibly stuffed and delicious. Burrito with Salmon and Tuna.
Matt L.

The poke burrito was stuffed, juicy, and a complex layering of flavors. Highly recommend if you're craving sushi but want a LOT more fish than a regular roll night offer. How it works: you fill out a menu and check off everything you want in your bowl or burrito. You get to choose 2 different proteins (I suggest the tuna and salmon), toppings and sauces. For an establishment that is not boba-centric, they had some pretty good boba as well! Would recommend if you have a boba craving but don't want to travel to multiple locations after getting their really good poke burrito.

(Dined 06/22/21 TU @ 12:00pm): There's a place called Kokoroll that's where you wanna go... to get some fast poke and sushi! Since I was doing some work in the area, I recently met a couple friends at their request for lunch at Burbank's Kokoroll Cafe location. I've grown up eating poke bowls which was a basic peasant rudimentary dish back in the day before it became a healthier meal trend with fancier cuts of seafood, a plethora selection of toppings, and a higher price tag. As a fan of poke, I was glad to see its explosion in popularity (what took so long!?), but I wasn't a fan of the oversaturation of shops and the elevated price levels. How would I roll with this fish food cafe!? PURCHASE Thai Iced Tea w/Boba 16floz Cup ($4.85): A wonderful muddy orange color with a ton of large chewy boba pearls and minimal glass-like ice, this was an aromatic floral drink that easily could've been a meal itself, and it wasn't overly sweet. The price was a tad more than what I normally pay, but it was an enjoyable drink nonetheless https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=tqgBOsAhGut__IBERUSeuA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. Poke Bowl - Baked Salmon, Shrimp Tempura, Ahi Tuna ($13.99): A collection of fresh ingredients from top to bottom, this healthy seafood bowl of goodness initially surprised me by the price. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised by the seafood portions (actually pieces versus the standard scoops I've grown used to) and how they were prepared, but I wished there was more rice along with the other toppings as my bowl seemed under-filled. Still, this Hawaiian dish left a smile on my face https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-HxqzbWU-MoNS6e_4HYBWg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. SERVICE Greeted by a young effervescent staff behind the counter, they happily assisted us with our orders as we filled out a plastic menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=-3zv7qnkgRVq1H9SylD-tQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, our drinks came out minutes later, and lastly our food about ten minutes later. Everything was easy and straightforward - great job to all! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance) We easily found timed street parking along the main drag of Olive Ave.. Otherwise, there was plenty of parking along surrounding side streets as well as parking structures - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A small squarish storefront that was primarily a stainless steel order counter and a small dining area in front of that but was emptied out due to the current COVID-19 pandemic https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=IiVjz6CHZqWWftgyxjSrCQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, there was a handful of tables and chairs out front on the sidewalk where we sat. Minimal to little decorations inside with the exception of a white board https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=791Lfh_P_GqLCFgMWhmeNQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw on one wall, and an easily legible menu directly above the order counter. Plenty of natural lighting came in through the large front glass wall windows and doors while electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I didn't notice any TVs while Top-40 music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=WbNbn3sxC-DfpVQDViw6Tg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I had a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing meal with friends at Kokoroll Cafe's Burbank location, and I would consider another visit since I was in the area often. The food was very tasty, the menu selection was limited but varied enough (i.e. bowls, wraps, handrolls, boba drinks, etc.), the prices were generally comparable although I felt the bowl and wrap prices were a bit elevated, and the service was straightforward and fine. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $21.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Poke bowl
Christine S.

I was so surprised that this place had such great poke! I've had the bowls twice now and I just love the hefty portion size (it is $17) and topping options. The fish always tastes fresh and the sauces and crunchy toppings make it so good compared to other places. This is my new go-to poke spot. They also have online pickup! Can't wait to try their boba too.

Acai bowl
Ah Reum Y.

Feel so healthy and good~!! Yummy!! Their ingredients are so fresh and Yuzo ponzu sauce was soooo good with poke bowl, pretty good price than tree choices of meat. Also, Acai bowl was sooooo delicious and big!! I think these are will be my favorite combo and I'll definitely come back!!

Steffanie M.

I happened to come across this place as I was exploring Burbank and am so glad I did! The highlight of it all was how kind the staff was! I had a few questions about the boba as I wasn't familiar with the flavors, they not only made suggestions but also offered to modify my drink if I didn't like it! I tried their california and tempura shrimp roll. Happy to say that both the food and the boba were delicious! Will most definitely be coming back! If you're in the area I highly recommend stopping by!

Outside
Lesley H.

I decided to try this place out specifically for their milk tea, it's so aesthetically pleasing and delicious. I've tried all the boba spots in downtown Burbank and this is by far my fav there's 3 within 1 mile from each other. The presentation is very alluring, I actually got a couple of co workers try it out just because they loved the way it looked. But don't get me wrong it also tasted VERY good AND they have dairy free options. The service is okay, staff could be friendlier but they're not bad.. just nothing special. There is parking within the area, and place looked clean. Definitely recommend if you want boba!

100/10 would recommend. Taste good and they also make it less than 10 minutes. Everything in their store is organized amazingly.

Taste so good and it smells amazing. Doesn't take too long. Better than most of the places I've ever seen. Doesn't get too much hype, but I would definitely recommend. Workers are respectful and good at their job.

Menu. Keep you eyes to the electronic screen menus. Menu on wall outdated!

Walked in yesterday at 6:25pm and got a nice, pleasant greeting from Chelsey. Even though the name of the employee on the receipt said Ariela. Scoped out the entire place and it was just spotless clean with a parking shared with many other businesses. No public restrooms. There was another employee cutting some fruit in the same place. I opted for my base as Açaí with 3 toppings: mango, strawberries, blueberries, and a touch of drizzled chocolate syrup ($12.50). I asked for Raspberries and Chelsey said they don't have it. That's too bad. The size of the cup that I got was small and actually looked medium to me. They had different sizes of cups. They have many different toppings and dry toppings, variety of syrups, and indoor and covered outdoor seating. I ate inside. The place is so cute, quaint, nice decor all around. Medium size and the selection of the music could have been better.They also sell Empanadas with different fillings inside. Smoothies and variety of juices. I will get that next time.

I asked for cinnamon on top, something I've requested many times before without any issue, including having it added on the side when needed. This time I was told it wasn't possible due to company policy, and when I asked if it could at least go on the side instead, I was told no again, with a comment about cameras watching. I was happy to pay for cinnamon it but she refused. The employee told me she was the manager, which was surprising since I hadn't seen her before and have never had this kind of experience at this location. I've worked as a restaurant manager myself, so I know how these policies typically work, and this felt more personal than an actual requirement. This was an inconsistent and needlessly rigid application of one, especially for a request as small as a sprinkle of cinnamon that had been accommodated before. I'd expect a manager, of all people, to go above and beyond for a longtime customer, not make a small request feel like a confrontation. As someone who tips and comes back often, I'd appreciate some clarity from management on what the actual policy is, and a little more flexibility for something like adding cinnamon to my bowl. I'd love to keep coming back, please have this issue addressed.T

It's also nice to be in a place where the real estate feels wide enough that everyone can maintain some sense of privacy, since this NoHo occupancy is the flagship one. Not that it's hard to have a conversation anywhere else over coffee. But it just feels easier to cultivate a bubble of A and B conversing within these walls. I'm quite grateful a writing buddy recommended we meet here last month. All you need is that innocent push to widen your coffee landscape, and RZ has felt like a near study abroad trip, every time.
