    Sushi Burrito
    Nari Y.

    You must try their bowl, burrito, smoothie, & taiyaki! We tried bowl & burrito with salmon, spicy tuna and shrimp tempura. Everything was fresh, tasty, and made with care. I highly recommend trying the spicy sauce and spicy mayo--they add the perfect kick and are absolutely delicious. We also loved their taro smoothie & peach/mango tea! So refreshing with perfect flavor! The red bean taiyaki was a perfect dessert to end a meal with. It was crispy outside, soft side with just the right sweetness. Friendly service and a clean atmosphere! I'll definitely be coming back!

    First time trying this place as they are only a few blocks down from my home. Very friendly mom and son run store. Sad that I didn't try this place sooner!! I had the salmon poke burrito (delicious!), taiyaki w/ red bean(fresh and crispy!), and a taro smoothie. Everything I had was delicious that I bought my wife a drink to-go for her to try. Highly recommend! Definitely will be come back

    I stepped into the restaurant knowing exactly what I want, and I have no disappointments. The moment I entered--the place is quiet. Perfect for any introverts who like an environment that is peaceful and cozy to sit around. There is not much decoration to the place, looks like some things are unpacked near the bathroom area. The one guy working at the counter works very hard. I appreciate his work of getting the food perfectly and taking orders. The chef also did an amazing job. Not sure if it's the same guy working at the counter or if it's a different person but they are both amazing people who make the atmosphere comfortable! The meal was memorable, loved the beef especially. The beef was so tender and soft and had a flavor like no other bulgogi I have ever tasted. The veggies merged in with the combination of three meats is the ideal lunch for anyone craving asian food. As an Asian food reviewer, I am always craving a yummy poke bowl from small business any day and every day. For anyone interested: My order is the beef bulgogi, green onion, red onion, sushi rice, crab meat, tofu, seaweed, teriyaki chicken, beef bowl. All smothered in a sweet, savory ponzu sauce that tastes like teriyaki. Thank you Kokoroll Cafe for the dreamy, delicious lunch.

    Love Kokoroll! An easy go-to for some drinks and recently I've enjoyed their bulgogi/poke bowls are big yum. Pick up is pretty easy and it's a smaller business so it's nice seeing the same kind faces. :)

    I love this place!! I's my favorite Poké place around town. The Poké is always very fresh and has a good balance of fish for the price. The boba drinks are also very good and the staff is always super friendly and kind. I 1000% recommend this place!

    I love their sushi burritos, but I just won't be back for a while and can't really recommend this business. I feel sorry for the nice people working there but I think it's very poorly managed. Problems 1. Process issues. Last time I went was about 2 years ago, we used to order frequently, but we decided to go into the store, for 2 simple sushi burritos, we waited over an hour. The store wasn't too busy, there were delivery folks in and out, they continuously filled the delivery orders and ignored me sitting there. I asked about it numerous times but they were just following the flawed process. I was furious but there was not much they could do. 2. We finally decided to give them another try, and ordered it from their website as a to go order. I took pictures and really wanted to give them a good review. Unfortunately, I went to the store and found the online order prices (from their website) were higher than in store prices! I mentioned this to the nice lady at the counter, she could not do anything about it. I tried contacting the manager but s/he couldn't be reached. 3. I was still hopeful that at least the food would be good. The 3 orders were clearly marked and cleverly showed the differences, I was impressed. But it turned out they were incorrectly placed. (The vegetarian order and non-vegetarian order were switched) In addition, we had one order clearly noted sauces on the side, well, no sauces were used and nothing was on the side, so it was a very bland sushi burrito. Sadly, we were once again disappointed.

    This is not a full portion! And look how little boba they give!
    Sue H.

    Very slow service (place was not even that busy). Boba was not fresh and portion was so small! but mainly they did not fill the cup!

    yummy taiyaki!!!!

    I drove by this place about a month ago. Had to find a place to chill with my 5 yo daughter before a doctor's appointment. Ordered a sushi burrito, spam roll, red bean taiyaki, an assam milk tea with no boba and watermelon slushy. There was no one before or after me. The burrito was great. I think I ordered too many items that made the burrrito soggy, but flavor was spot on. My daughter enjoyed her spam roll and drink (which was on the sweet side and not made from real watermelon which was disclosed up front). I really enjoyed the fresh taiyaki, the red bean was not too sweet. Came by a second time just to get 5 taiyaki to go and a hit citrus ginger honey drink. Again, no other customers but it was disclosed I would have to wait 15 min prior to placing the order. No problem appreciate the honesty. At least I would get them fresh made!!! but if I came during a busy time, I think it would be pretty difficult to fill the orders promptly (so minus 1 star). Citrus ginger drink came out well. Just right for what I was feeling. Also, for some of the old reviews about it getting soggy after deliver- nothing a good reheat in the toaster/mini oven couldn't fix. It was so good and my main reason for coming back again!

    Milk Tea, Thai Tea & Jasmine Green Milk Tea ⋅ Torrance, California
    Justin L.

    There's currently 12 (give or take) boba shops in the city of Torrance, and I made it my mission to visit them all... for research purposes obviously! After doing extensive studies and tests, the conclusion that I came up with is that Kokoroll is ... eh. They're situated in a strip mall along Hawthorne Boulevard. Lots of parking spaces and it's usually never busy. We found a spot in front of the cafe. The inside had a decent amount of seats and tables, with a couple more outside. To build your own boba, choose a tea base (jasmine, assam, oolong, etc.), pick up to two flavors, select a topping (75 cents each), and adjust the Almond milk was the only dairy alternative I saw. There are also smoothies and slushies that you can customize as well. Rounding out the rest of the menu are specialty drinks, taiyaki, hand rolls, poke bowls, and sushi burritos. The Thai Tea and Jasmine Milk Tea were fine. But the Milk Tea had an odd sour aftertaste. Almost acidic. I didn't like the mushy boba either, it had no structural integrity whatsoever. Maybe I'll get the food instead if I ever return. Opinions expressed are solely my own, but this is how I rank the Torrance boba shops from highest to lowest: Presotea Teaspoon 7 Leaves Amai Tea Station Tastea Yi Fang Sharetea BobaHi *** Kokoroll *** It's Boba Time Drinks and Tea

    Delicious green teas different and available in a variety of fruit flavors too!
    Jasmine B.

    Tasty drinks at reasonable cost! Didn't get to try the food but it is worth going back to try. The inside is so pretty and inviting as well my friend's little one enjoyed the service!

    my first sushi burrito made with salmon, tempura shrimp with almost everything including love. this was so good but not easy to eat because it was so stuffed! i managed though ! the tea was just right for me. everything is great here! it's clean and bright, the women are helpful and experienced and the restroom is clean. total with tax and tip $26.

    Torrance Food Crawl #442…read more Ali'i Hawaiian Grill offers a minimalist approach with a simple menu that has a limited selection. For the Poke bowls, select your bowl size, pick two from the four or so fish choices, a base (rice or salad), and for most bowls a side or two. After several visits, my experience has been fine each time. Good quality fish and fresh sides. There are also some plate options where you can select Huli Chicken or Kalua Pork. I've tried both the chicken and pork (though not on the plate option), and both were excellent. This location used to be strictly take-out, but now there are two tables inside if you'd like to sit inside. I feel compelled to mention that when I recently visited this location, they had a health grade of B from LA County displayed in the window. Yelp shows that they had 14 health code violations on September 18. Usually, I don't show too much concern for these health scores, but when a restaurant's primary product is raw fish, a lower score gets my attention.

    There aren't many places where you can just get poke, by itself, without a bowl. If you truly love…read morepoke, try it by itself sometime. I was a fan of their El Segundo location but I believe it is gone. This place had about 5 or 6 different fresh poke styles available during our visit. We tried the Hawaiian, the Creamy Garlic Crunch, and the Sweet and Spicy. We also ordered the Chips and Smoked Ahi Dip, and the Huli Chicken Bowl. I think I loved everything. The Creamy Garlic Crunch poke was especially amazing. It had a slight spicy kick to it and it was rich and delicious. The chips that came with the dip were obviously freshly-made wontons and I could have eaten a hundred of them. The dip was good but not as flavorful as I had hoped or had in the past. For the chicken bowl, the rice and cucumbers that came with the chicken were excellent. You get a ton of mac salad and it is excellent. The chicken was solid, too. Unless they are hiding in plain sight, the places that just sell fresh poke, without the bowl, are few and far between in Southern California. I love poke bowls, too, but sometimes the poke by itself (with the different sauces and seasoning) is just incredible. This spot serves delicious fresh poke and I will always be a fan.

They sell poke bowls…read moreand other things--primarily with a Hawaiian flair--but they also offer about 10 different pokes by the pound, half pound, and even quarter pound. I especially appreciate them selling poke by the quarter pound. Absolutely no one else does that. We tried three different pokes (shoyu, Cali Hawaiian and Garlic Spicy) and they were all delicious. The Cali Hawaiian had krab in it, which was a little unusual but not unwelcome. Definitely ask the employees for recommendations. Free parking in the lot. I would happily return.

The polite and personable gentleman behind the counter helped me narrow down my choices and offered samples. The salmon and tuna poke were delicious. One was shoyu, and the other was limu; both had umami flavors. I was so glad that the shoyu didn't have a hint of sweetness and that the limu wasn't too salty. The savory seasoning/marinade and cool temp made the poke a very satisfying and refreshing meal. I also asked for rice and mac salad for my to-go plate, and those were solid complements to the poke. It's a chill, fast-casual place with Hawaiian tropical decor and a few dine-in tables. The plaza it's in is kinda small and janky, but at least parking is free. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd love to drop by for their poke.

    Went again yesterday with the kiddos after their first (half) day of school…read more The girl and I ordered small poke bowls ($15.99) and the boy ordered the sushi burrito after complaining (yeah, I know) about how he didn't want a small bowl. Let me just tell you that the small is plenty. It comes with two scoops of fish; I typically get double salmon because the salmon is so good. And you get a bunch of other stuff in there. After choosing a base (white or brown rice or a salad..I usually go with brown rice), I next usually choose seaweed salad and edamame and go with all of the toppings and a couple sauces at the next two topping stations (crunchies, green onion, thinly sliced cucumber, fresh jalapeno, etc.). I typically let them suggest the sauces; yesterday I got ponzu sauce as well as a shoyu sauce that was suggested. Then the items are delicately mixed by (gloved) hand and the bowls are handed over to you with a side of wasabi, ginger and packets of soy sauce. We decided to eat out on the large patio out front since it was such a nice day and it was lovely. Truly a great, healthy and reasonable lunch for $15.99, I'd say. Highly recommend...still!
