The first few bites we were all saying it was okay ... added a bit of hot sauce and suddenly we're fighting over the last korokke!! May add cheese next time for our "American" tastes but will definitely make this again.

My daughter (10 yrs. old) says my Asian cooking doesn't taste like that in the restaurant but, when I cooked this recipe, she couldn't get enough of it. Thank you so much for this recipe.

What a fun recipe this is! I enjoyed making this because it was so different and I actually happened upon Panko breadcrumbs at my local commissary. All of the kids enjoyed this very much. I did double the recipe and I added some garlic powder to the ground beef as it was cooking to give it some extra flavor. I can't wait to make this again. Thanks for the recipe!

The flavor was good but in my opinion they're not worth the mess and time to make.

Mine did not look that pretty, of course, but they were very yummy! I actually threw some cheese into the mix, and the guys devoured these (dipping them in ketchup was especially good).
