I love this place for a fast Asian/Thai fusion noodle bowl. I love the satay sauce and all the fresh ingredients that go with the bowl. 10/10 read more

TAP is the asian noodle version of Chipotle. This place works great for working folks who are on a lunch time crunch. I got the flat rice noodles with the chicken meatballs. The flavors were great, felt like a healthy mix. There are plenty of options for people to choose from. Since everything is put together right in front of you, all the food is kind of lukewarm. read more

Food is AWESOME and FRESH! They were so helpful with tips for my first time. It's like an Asian Fusion Chipotle...way more healthier!

So good! I've been coming here since they opened ~2014 and am thrilled that they've been able to maintain the same quality level, plentiful options, and large portions. Yes, prices have increased over time, but I think this is fair considering inflation and rising costs in food especially in recent years. I really appreciate that they clearly label allergens and have options for different dietary restrictions (vegan, vegetarian, etc.). read more

Okay. I've always loved TAP since the first time I tried it. It's a really delicious and healthy option. However, I think I need to leave this review because the response we received was absolutely bizarre. I had ordered 5 bowls for myself and my coworkers. We opened our bowls and began enjoying our food until one of my coworkers found a BUG in her bowl. I was so shocked because it was our first time experiencing this and assumed it was just bad luck... BUT WAIT, THERE IS MORE! Concerned and quite frankly grossed out, we called TAP to let them know we found a bug in our bowl. The lady working there hit us with an "It happens, we can't get all the bugs out of our product." We are literally laughing at how bizarre this response was to our concern. No apologies, no explanation. Just a well we can't get all the bugs out all the time. So sad this happened cause I loved TAP, but it's a hard no for me now. read more

This place is really good, in terms of the food. It is very flavorful, you will crave it after you try it. It's like a build your own bowl and everything is fresh. My fave is the rice bowl with chicken and the mango salsa is so good. Customer service could be better. read more

I appreciate the bowls we ordered because they were healthy and fresh. They have a limited menu. They only offer bowls. They do not offer eggrolls or dessert as far as I know. read more

I've been coming here since 2020 and always loved the food. The quality is 10/10 but I'm sad to say after my last visit yesterday I won't be returning. The portion sizes get smaller every time and the prices are not worth it. $17 for a bowl? No extras? For reference the price use to be $12.11 with tax in 2020. I'm leaving this review as hopefully helpful criticism for the owners as I've always loved the food and appreciate the quality but $17 is outrageous. read more

Family owed. Super tasty. Super fast. Healthy AF. It's a wonderful atmosphere and I will continue to come here.

Always fresh and super yummy. The staff are always kind. Love TAP I eat here often!!!

Food was not the best. Service was great. There was a lot of flies on the food area maybe they need a better way to keep the flys away. Maybe the fast if the food was ruined by the thought of flys everywhere. read more

This place isn't a bad choice if you're looking for a filling but somewhat healthy lunch or casual take out meal. As you might expect it's another build it yourself food option. Different base, proteins, toppings, and sauces so lots of customization options. I got a jasmine rice base, half and half steak and chicken (steak is an extra charge, half and half is free), topped with cucumber salad, mango slaw, corn mixture, and teriyaki sauce. The sauce was delicious but they didn't put enough on in my opinion. Chicken was unremarkable but the steak was yummy, not sure if worth the extra charge because they honestly don't give you that much protein. Mango slaw was great, rest of the veggies good also. Seating inside is fine, all bar stools with no back. And a few seats outside. Definitely a more quick service feel but that's what you want sometime. Overall it's a fine choice but I wasn't super impressed with the meat and amount of meat and sauce. Still would get it for a quicker healthy-ish option! read more

My favorite place to eat when I'm in the area. Portions are generous, food is fresh, and selections are healthy. The service is fast and friendly. The ambience is casual and clean. You choose what you want on your bowl be as creative as you like. read more

Our healthy bowl to-go-place in Burbank! So much love for their bowls-- they are fresh and healthy. My favorite is their braised beef and chicken satay mixed with purple rice and peanut sauce or chicken satay sauce. read more

On my way to Chop Stop for a quick salad and I saw a line out the door for Tap, so I thought I would give it a try. Described by many Yelpers as the "Chipotle" for Asian food, I approached with caution. You choose your starch, protein, sauce and then vegetables. The menu is simple, including only rice bowls, salad bowls, and steamed buns, but all custom ordered. I got the brown rice, chicken satay and braised beef 1/2 & 1/2 with spiced corn, yellow tomato and pickled cucumbers and red onions. It was tasty but not a huge portion. the food looked a bit shallow in the bowl. I could have had more. I will say that the five spiced braised beef was fantastic - it was clearly the unique stand out of the meal. Overall the food was good but I would like to see a little more of it in the bowl. I will be back to try it again. read more

Soooooo delicious! This is my second meal with them and it's just amazing! Great customer service! Quick, fresh and delicious food. My little one loves the chicken meat ball. The place is nice and clean with good air conditioning. My tummy is happy! read more

TAP The Asian Project - Bowl with meat ball and satay steak - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Burbank, California

I am down for anything create-your-own, so if you throw in some steamed buns, I'm there! Their rice and noodle bowls also looked really good but you can't make customized steamed buns at many other places. You can choose 3 different meats, so I chose the braised beef, teriyaki meatball, and steak. You can pick as many toppings as you like...mango slaw, Asian style pico de gallo, and cucumber red onion for me. Then finally, choose a sauce. I'm not a fan of peanut or curry sauces so I chose the fish sauce which was perfectly light and refreshing. I thought they would put the salad/toppings on my steamed buns but I'm glad that they didn't. That allowed me to control how much I put on each one, plus I get to eat the leftovers after I finish my meal! The only downside was probably the price. The food was great but I don't think the steamed bun plate was worth $9. I would price it closer to $7-8 and would pay $9 for the rice or noodle bowls since you get much more. read more

I've been going here for years. Their bowls are good but the service is the worst! The same lady that owns the place sees that I go there often but makes no customer service friendly effort at all. Their meat portions are very little and charge extra if you want an average size portion for what you pay for. Last time I was there I brought my mom. The guy that was serving us was a trainee and being watched like a hawk by the owner. His portions were so little, barely gave us any sauce for the rice and chicken that we ordered. My mom was very disappointed in that place as her first time trying it. She won't go back there again. I was excited because I wanted her to enjoy it. I do like their food but their customer service and portions are not worth the price that they charge for. read more

This place should be called TBAP (The Bland Asian Project). I went there for a bowl with noodles and chicken and that is pretty much all I got! I really dislike onions and don't offer any sides that doesn't have onions except for lettuce and bean sprouts. The sauce is also very bland. I can't say much for the customer service because there wasn't any. I didn't feel welcomed nor thanked. This place was a waste of my time, money and calorie intake. This is not a place I will ever go back to. read more

And the award goes to TAPS for the Best Place to Go For Lunch Break! Think of the Asian version of Chipotle. Price is only $8.98. Food is organic with a wide range of mix and match options: rice or salad bowl; from tangy, spicy to creamy sauces/vinaigrette; chicken, beef, or tofu; and countless veggies! My favorite is the salad bowl with rice noodles (the best part is they give you half-and-half), half peanut sauce and half red curry sauce, braised beef, and ALL the veggies except jalapeños (I have a spice threshold). YUMM!! It was hearty and flavorful. So much so I was able to have leftovers the next day! read more

Don't come here if you want to get full! I've eaten here a few times in the past and have always been satisfied but after my visit today I'm very disappointed. I ordered the standard bowl with all the sides and it's normally a great size but today it was so small. I was shocked because it normally fills the bowl and today it was barely at the halfway mark. For a $10+ dollar bowl you're better off going somewhere else. You've been warned! read more

Delicious and fresh food. I highly recommend this restaurant. I don't live nearby but I drive there just to eat food from the TAP!

We LOVE this place and are so excited we found it! The bowls are so fresh and delicious. The tamarind sauce is our favorite, the meats are very well seasoned and the portions are very satisfying. There is comunal seating in the restaurant, but not a lot. I like ordering it to go. There is plenty of parking in the plaza where TAP is at, so extra points for that. Keep doing what you are doing. read more

TAP The Asian Project - Bowl for takeout, yummm - Do-It-Yourself Food Near Me - Burbank, California

Its ok, but completely inconsistent in quality. Sometimes they fill your bowl wit 70% rice so the topings are minimal. Sometimes you pick it up and it's cold. Will definitely not be coming back anymore. read more

Food is okay the ambience is very chill. Ac blows nice and cold but the service needs a little work. Feel free to ask for all the extras you want but you will be charged extra and honestly I do not mind being charged at all especially if I want more than just the serving they're allowed to give, which is why I stated if it's extra it's not a problem but even after you say it's ok to be charged extra you get an extra side of attitude as if the workers are paying for the extras themselves. I'm sorry but I will not be returning. read more

I don't usually write reviews but I'm extremely disappointed with this place. I've been a regular customer since they've opened. As the years have gone by, the portions get smaller and the price goes up. Today I ordered a kids size bowl and was given 5 tiny tiny 1/4"sized half cubes of chicken when they used to give a regular scoop. The entire bowl was only 1/3 full. This place is always empty now and this explains why. Never coming back. read more

Super fresh and delicious with great customer service! Today was my first time here and right as I walked in the door the employees were so welcoming! As I was ordering, the employee who was serving me gave me great suggestions and was super accommodating. So A+ for service in my book. I decided on the rice noodle bowl with tofu and teriyaki sauce with lettuce/kale, peanuts, and fried crisps. It was probably one of the best Asain-style bowls I've had. Everything tasted freshly made and all the ingredients were very flavorful! The tofu in particular is very well marinated and cooked so even if you're not vegetarian or vegan I'd highly recommend it! (Although I do wish they gave me more!) TAP had other vegan-friendly options and menu-markings which I definitely appreciated! The canned Thai Iced Tea was also amazing even though I thought the concept was a bit odd at first haha. It's definitely worth a try though! I'll be coming back soon, TAP! read more

Nicole was very kind and helpful in explaining how the menu worked and her patience was second to none. She even went as far as go outside to track me down because I left my card inside! The quality of the food is amazing and the portions were more than enough for me, which is rare for food places nowadays. I got the curry chicken with the base of rice and glass noodles and then some teriyaki sauce and it more than satisfied my craving. As someone who is picky with my chicken, I can say with confidence this is some good quality lean chicken and I ate everything. For the price you pay, I'd say you get a justified amount, if not a little more. I give you his place a 10/10 for both the food and Nicole's amazing customer service and would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Nice little spot in Burbank. It's in a big plaza shared with starbucks, sprouts, etc. so parking is not an issue. Inside is a little small-- so probably not the new spot for groups. They have one main rectangle table with some bar style seats. Maybe about 12-15 seats total? Then just 5-6 bar style seats facing the window and a couple of small tables at the store front. It was fine for me because it was just my fiancé and I. We went on a Sunday afternoon around 1pm and it was not busy at all. We were greeted immediately upon entering. The way you order is kind of like at Chipotle. You tell them if you want steamed buns, a bowl, etc. and then the kind of base you want. Their menu is straight forward.. just follow the simple steps. I got the steamed buns. You can get a different protein for each one so I ordered chicken satay, teriyaki meatball and tofu with peanut sauce drizzled on top. Overall, amazing! It also comes with a side of salad which I got with fish sauce on top.. highly recommend! The buns are very filling.. given this was my first meal of the day I had a big appetite going in, however I did not even finish 2 of the buns. I ended up just eating the protein. Lol. You can definitely tell the ingredients are fresh. They take pride in that and it definitely shows. If I'm ever in the area again I will be sure to come back. read more

If you're looking for fresh delicious yummy ingredients this is the spot for you. My bowl had rice noodles, chicken, cilantro, red onion, mango, cucumber, corn and it was out of this world delicious. I can eat this weekly. I split the bowl into two because it is a big bowl of food which I like because I can have leftovers . $9, very affordable. A local gem in Burbank. I love this place and you will too! read more

Great place for a quick bite to eat for lunch with reasonable prices. Although the food wasn't authentic (I've had the real deal before) it was still very enjoyable. I really needed food that was quick and also refreshing (I'm a pretty healthy eater) and most places near were mostly sandwiches or burgers so I found this place and thought I'd try it out. First off parking lot area is pretty hectic during lunch hours. The vibe of the place is pretty chill and clean. great place to eat lunch and have nice convo with some friends or co workers. Price of food is fair ($10)and food portion is perfect not too filling but not too little either . I ordered the 3 bun combo it comes with your choice of protein (I got teriyaki meatball/tofu/chicken) and a side salad where you can pick the sauce(I got peanut sauce which came warm:) and toppings. The meatball was my favorite. The chicken was dry for my liking but add that sauce to it and you got yourself a bomb af little bun taco! Will definitely come back again and service was friendly and quick! read more

I used to work in Glendale. While there are now really good choices for food options there, I needed a change and ironically enough used Yelp to find this place. Taps is bombdiggity. I love this place. I believe it's organic and all the meat is anti biotic Free. You may be wondering what is this place all about. Think of Chinese food.... now take away all that oil and grease. Add healthier i credits with some sauces and make it chipotle style and boom! That's Taps! Just go here. Don't pass go, don't collect $200. Eat here! read more

Overpriced and nothing special. Rice bowl with soggy vegetables. Not worth $16 price.

Rice bowl good. Me like rice bowl. Recommend this over zankou chicken next door. A nice chipotle style option for Asian food. The owners really nice and the food was delicious. Recommend it for a quick bite. read more

Oh my goodness, such a delicious bowl! I love all their sauces and the veggies they provide. I love that they have brown rice and kale salad! I love the portion size for the pricing. I love how the veggies aren't drenched in oil! This place is absolutely perfect for someone that wants a quick, super healthy lunch option! I will definitely be back. I'm so sad that I didn't know about this place sooner lol read more

Love it! We have a similar restaurant in San Jose but this is better. We wanted something light but filling and saw this on Yelp. My girls are picky but they really enjoyed the bowl with the sides (they do not like veggies). I loved mine as well. Both ladies are so friendly and accommodating. Support small business all the way! read more

I love TAP. The ingredients are fresh, and they have great customer service! They are never super busy. I always get a half salad half rice noodle bowl with the Thai red curry sauce and peanut sauce. Very tasty. The prices have gone up a bit over the years, which is a little tough but I will still stop in every few months! read more

Not as good as they used to be 3-4 years ago. Service is mediocre. Also who closes at 8pm? Change the hours of operation on your door.

Found this place while looking for something healthy after I landed at the Bob Hope Airport. They have plenty of parking and are located in a little plaza next to the freeway! I will say that ever since the close of ShopHouse I have been looking for something just like it and I may have found it! It's obviously different than ShopHouse but overall really really good! You order your food in a Chipotle-esque way where you can customize your bowl with whatever you want! I have to say for the price you get a lot of food so it's well worth it! I ordered: CHICKEN SATAY WITH HALF NOODLES HALF SALAD - the chicken was really good and i'm glad the server wasn't stingy at all with any of the toppings and meat! - I ended up getting lazy and just put every topping in my bowl - my favorite toppings were definitely the corn and the mango salad - the mangos were so sweet and delicious Overall, I really like this place and after eating I didn't feel gross and sluggish! I will definitely come back in the future! read more
