I just on a whim decided to stop by today and boy I have nothing but positive adjectives for this place. Clean environment, helpful and kind workers, and the food.... Fresh, delicious, unique, pretty, variety of choices for all kinds of diets, complex flavors and healthy! The only thing they can do better on is opening up more locations!! read more

Came here for a lunch and loved the ease of ordering! I was in a bit of a hurry and placed my order using their online ordering. It was ready quickly as soon as I arrived! I had put in a request to ensure the bowl was prepared vegan and the employee assured me it was, when picking it up. She was friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself was small and cute, clean and well maintained. Parking was also very easy in their lot. The bowl I got consisted of purple rice, rice noodles, veggies, tofu and a tamarind vinaigrette with a satay glaze. The sauces were very savory and had a good blend of being spicy and sweet. Everything was so well seasoned and it was hearty and filling. I could really taste the freshness of everything and the textures were all on point! It was very reasonably priced for what I got! read more

So happy to find this place. It's a Asian fusion bowl kind of place. Ingredients are fresh and you can customize your bowl. What's even better is they are allergen conscious place. They have the allergen notations up on their menu board - gluten free/vegan/dairy free. For me who has gluten and dairy allergies/intolerances; I have to constantly manage what I eat. I don't have celiac so for all those my GF BFF's - please let the staff know if you have severe allergies. So from what they advised me, the following protein are gluten free: - chicken satay - steak satay - teriyaki meatball I will double check with the staff next time on the organic tofu - which part in the tofu that is not gluten free. I'd love to try their tofu if it's in fact gluten free. I had their meatball with the tamarind vinaigrette which is so delicious and fresh. I had it with half brown rice and half salad. Their brown rice is not the typical brown rice. It's more like purple-ish brown rice that you'd find in a korean restaurant which is delicious. The 2nd time I was there, they ran out of the meatball so I opted for the chicken satay and tried it with the curry sauce (which they said it's one of their most popular sauces). The curry sauce is not marked as dairy free but I tried it anyway. It's really savory and good and had a bit of kick of spice to it. I can't wait to go back again and hopefully they make more of those meatballs. :) read more

The Chipotle and Cava of asian food! I wish they had this in OC. BYOB with asian flavors & healthy choices. Pick your base (rice, noodles, or greens) then sauces, the options for sauces are so good, I couldn't choose so I ordered more on the side (peanut sauce & fish sauce vinaigrette are my faves), then choose your proteins (chicken satay), & the garnishes where you can choose some or all (fresh mango slaw is a must!), then the toppings (crispy noodles). At the end, my creation came out pretty heavy & hefty and took me at least 2 meals to finish. Fast casual vibe with a small dining area. Reasonable pricing for what you get. Good service. read more

Tucked away in a nice small, clean shopping center off of San Fernando in Burbank; easy in and out. It's a build-your-own-bowl kinda place, so peruse the menu and start building! I prefer noodles over rice, but sometimes I mix it up. It's a small spot with a very comfy feel, super clean and tidy, professional and efficient staff. read more

Ordering was quick and easy. However, I felt the food was overpriced for the portion sizes, and the flavors were a bit underwhelming for my taste. While some people might really enjoy the lighter, more subtle flavors, it just wasn't my cup of tea. read more

My friend and I ordered two chicken bowls and sat down to eat. After only two bites, on the third bite, I found a long hair inside my bowl. It was completely unacceptable and ruined our appetite immediately. We showed the bowl to the worker, and she took both bowls back. When we asked for a refund, the cashier said she didn't know how to process refunds and had to call the owner. We were told that the owner reversed the credit card charge and that we would be getting our money back. That was not true. Not only did we not eat the food, but we also never received our refund. Finding hair in food is bad enough, but lying to customers and keeping their money is even worse. This experience showed a lack of cleanliness, professionalism, and honesty. I will not be returning and do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Love this place!! Wish there was one closer to home! Come to Santa Clarita! Their bowls are so fresh and flavorful. Love all the options for toppings! Always a great place to stop on the road! read more

I always like to come here when I get a craving for curry. Their curry is one of the best recipes I have tasted and wish they sold it to take home in a bottle. The service is always quick and easy and of course friendly. The ambiance is basically a lunch time type of place which is great because it's not crowded. I usually get the kale salad bowl with teriyaki meatballs, curry sauce, cucumbers, tomato salad, extra bean sprouts and topped with jalapeños. read more

We wanted to try something new in Burbank and this place popped up. I LOVE a good, healthy salad with many options to choose from. Your base is either rice or salad or both. Then your protein is either meat or tofu. I wanted tofu, but I hated how it looked. It was large slices swimming in a lot of sauce. GROSS. Ended up picking the chicken and it was good. I wanted ALL THE INGREDIENTS so my salad was quite big. I also wanted ALL THE TOPPINGS. If you ask for extra toppings, yes, there is an extra charge. My other complaint besides the ugly looking tofu is the dressing. You have many to choose from. I decided to pick the spiciest one and it was quite good. My complaint is I don't really like to have the dressing between my salad and protein because the dressing doesn't get mixed in with the other ingredients. I think they should put the dressing towards the end and mix it afterwards like the way Sweet Green does it. I guess another option would be to have the dressing on the side... but I really don't prefer it that way. Oh well, I still enjoyed my dinner and was totally full afterwards. Inexpensive and yummy dinner to go. There are plenty of places to sit if you choose to eat there. Customer service was good. Plenty of free parking in a shared lot. read more

TAP The Asian Project - a long table with stools - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Burbank, California

Very clean spot. Not a huge menu, but everything always hits. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try something new.

The restaurant is located in a busy shopping center with Tesla chargers so location is solid. It is pretty small inside which is not problematic if you want to take the food to go. It is very high priced for what you get. Although portion size is really good, the food itself just left more to be desired. The sauces were pretty flavorless and the food while fresh was just not that tasty. They are a very clean establishment so a lot of pros. but lost a star just because I did not like my food. staff were friendly and process for ordering is efficient. read more

Great tasting food bowls, very packed up, lots of items to choose from, very friendly service

Customer service is terrible. I walk in there is no body there. But yet when in ordering they RUSH ME. STOP RUSHING CUSTOMERS WHEN ORDERING SO You can put less in their order your cheap greedy unethical business practices. "What next, and then" lady relax you haven't picked up my bowl yet and I'm the only one there. The foods good but not worth $18!!!! read more

Food is very good! It's a filling but still refreshing feeling meal. Great for post workout, you can build your own bowl. I do think the protein portions are very small. I always order extra because the "normal" amount is a very small scope in comparison to a big bowl of rice. It was that was different, in terms of portion sizes being large for the additions it would be a 10/10 read more

Definitely an Asian chipotle!!! This place exceeded expectations, I came in not really expecting much but I was very happy with what I ordered. I got the half rice noodles and half lettuce, topped with the red curry sauce and satay glaze, along with the chicken satay and most of the other toppings. My bowl was filled HIGH. Yet, it felt like such a healthy meal and I left still feeling really satisfied. This works great as leftovers too!! The chicken satay was kinda mediocre, I would definitely try to get the tofu next time (tried my friend's - wasn't as firm as I thought and still nice and soft). Wish Tap had locations in the bay, but I'll be back the next time I'm in burbank!! read more

Love this place! We come here all the time and it's always fresh and delicious. I'm hooked on the bowls with the Red Curry Sauce, but it's all great! Staff is always friendly and helpful. I really like that they care about sourcing fresh ingredients and making everything from scratch. Welcoming to any dietary need as well (gluten free, dairy free, vegan). Truly a gem of Burbank. read more

My third time eating here and I gotta say I love it. It's built your own bowl just like Chipotle but Asian style. They use fresh ingredients, good quality meats and veggies. Their sauces are delicious, hard to chose which one to get. My favorite protein is the steak satay. (The chicken satay is good too.) I normally get jasmine rice , steak or chicken satay, the peanut sauce and top it off with lots of delicious sides. Finding parking can be challenging on the weekends but you can always park at the Sprouts parking lot. The customer service isn't the greatest but will do. read more

The food had a bug in it, and then another time I went it gave me the worst stomach ache and toilet issues

First time here and impressed Easy to follow bowl building menu with options to 50/50 split your base between rices and salads and the same with proteins ( tofu available ) For me today it was half jasmine rice and the kale and lettuce salad as a base topped with peanut sauce , chunks of marinated chicken and tofu a shredded mango salad with a sliced cucumbers sprouts and garnish of cilantro, crushed peanuts and a satay salad dressing Staff are friendly and happy to guide through what best pairs with what for garnished and sauces/dressings Cold drinks available as is option to dine in and take away Bowls were generous in size and well priced .. both our bowls and an iced tea $31 inc tax Plenty of Parking available in public car park out front Good local spot well worth supporting read more

21 days later I return and once again it was incredible flavor. I feel extremely lucky to eat this meal today. 1st thing I get is the purple rice. Peanut sauce is so tasty and filling. I went with the chicken with mago slaw, double scoop of grilled veggies, finally a little bit of pico. Customer service wasn't what I remembered. The two woman made no eye contact and no personality was shown. I felt rushed even though I knew what I wanted. I brought my niece to get food and spoke to her very positive about this place but she said the cashier and server gave off bad vibes and she changed her mind. I took my one order to go and ate it at my house and I loved it. I probably won't come back any time soon because bad vibes is not what I want to feel, even though the food is good. 6th of August 2022 read more

This place has been consistently good, but as of late, I have been so disappointed. $18 for a bowl with beef and the portion size has decreased tremendously. I got the braised beef and she barely put anything in my bowl and whatever was in my bowl was mush. Customer service used to be good here but now every time I've gone in, it feels like she's rushing me to get out. High prices for what they're giving is not worth it anymore. read more

TAP The Asian Project - Chicken satay with rice noodle and veggies - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Burbank, California

TAP! What an interesting name. It stands for the Asian project. Very interesting as I didn't find much of anything Asian inside. Inside, it is cool, the air conditioning is great especially in the summer. The parking outside is big and shouldn't be tough to find any unavailable spots. The service was just okay, the workers inside seemed annoyed when me and my friends came in to get our food. The food is similar to the style of chipotle. You order specific foods to put into a bowl and they charge you extra if you want another protein or other side like extra rice or what have you. Anyway, I ordered a steak cutlet that was sliced into square pieces with some lettuce, other greens and a peanut sauce that was very sweet. The food if on the low calorie, healthy side, so I figured I'd try it out. The food however, is not filling! After I had my meal, I craved for way more and the price of the bowl I got was about $10.00. I really didn't want to go back in line to get more and pay an extra $10.00, but I felt like it didn't fill me up all the way. Other pictures of the menu will be shown thru pictures as that is how you'll get a better idea of what you want. Moreover, there are bathrooms, WiFi and long wooden tables inside. There were only two tables but they panned out most of the place. I didn't like the set up and would prefer individual tables as an alternative. The seats were also incredibly uncomfortable. Maybe I just have a bad back, but they didn't even have a back rest. It was a rusty stool! Another note: when ordering our food. There weren't any labels for the choices to make your customizable bowl, so you have to just point to what you want outside of the glass that's covering the bins. Overall, although the food tasted good, there wasn't that much of it. Think of the food as the same size of a small poke bowl. We all can agree that that size is not filling, so expect that. The quality however, was quite good. Not sure if it is worth the $10.00 for what I paid for not including tax, but it was different. The great thing is that it is low calorie and healthy. TL;DR. Pros: +air conditioning was a blessing +high quality meat and lettuce +prices were fair, I hope? +bathrooms included and were very clean Cons: -no labels on bins or on glass -no individual tables, just 2 big long tables with very uncomfortable seats without a back rest -service was very average, a little unfriendly. -I was still hungry after eating my bowl -prices are fair, but not really a great deal read more

Second time here and it's been a good experience. The shop is located inside a plaza right next to Starbucks. There are plenty of parking but it can get a little crazy on that side of the parking lot. You can get locked in since the Starbucks drive through lane is on the same side. When entering the shop you pick your base,sauce , protein and sides. I personally like the purple rice, with chicken, with peanut sauce. I highly recommend the peanut sauce. The reason why I removed a star was the presentation. They stack the sides all together. But overall, the taste is great. read more

I was looking for something healthy today because I've honestly been eating terribly for the past couple of months. I wanted to try lemon leaf which is right down the street from this place but it was closed! Luckily, on yelp I saw this and thought wow asian bowls. Everything looked really healthy and customizable. I was really intrigued so I decided to go in and try this place with my coworker. I'm really glad we chose this place. It's like chipotle style where you can build your own bowl. They give huge portions for only $10 with protein?! Staff is super friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I asked if I could get half half on rice and noodles and I'm really glad I did and that they were so nice they let me! I'm really picky about rice noodles because sometimes they get hard and gross when they're cold but it was so tasty here! I customized my bowl with satay sauce and half satay chicken and half teriyaki meatballs. They let me do half and half meat too! The meatballs were really good probably my favorite but the chicken was also good too. It wasn't dry as I thought it would be. I topped my bowl off with salad, grilled veggies, and corn. Really healthy and tasty. I'm really glad I came here and highly recommend this place. There were a lot of people when I came which made me really happy that this Thai Asian bowl fusion restaurant was poppin. read more

Shame on me for avoiding this place. For several years I've had no interest in going to TAP for the reason being a customize your own bowl "sub-way" style eatery. I'm not exactly of a fan of those types of places but this is a perfect example of "don't knock it til you try it" Today after a quick hiking session a friend and I decided to come out and try TAP. I ordered a bowl which consisted of the following: -Jasmine rice for the base -5 spiced braised beef as my protein -Hot curry red sauce -Mango slaw, curried corn and bean sprouts -and topped it off with everything crunchy and spicy Everything was great, delicious and filling. I felt good for eating clean and the price is reasonable. I did want to try out the buns but there was no way I would have been able to put down both bowl and buns. What I have understood is the buns are no longer available so I was lucky. (or maybe not) Parking: private lot sharing Sprouts market VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

Pretty good customizable Asian bowl place. We were in the same complex getting Starbucks and it was almost lunch time. We had just gone on a hike with our doggies nearby, so after I got our coffees, my husband went in here to get us some lunch bowls. I told him to get me what he thought I'd like. I like that you can customize your bowls, chipotle style. My husband got me half noodles, half salad with half meatballs - I think this was this Vietnamese pork - nem nhuong, and half chicken. The only thing I didn't like was the sauce, which was the curry and had coconut. I enjoy curry but not the thai curry because of the coconut. Other than that - everything was excellent. Will definitely come back and maybe I'll go in to order my own bowl. read more
