Yelper Kiet H. wrote, "The TKO Knockout roll was my favorite. It comes in 10 pieces and is huge, so it was quite filling. I loved the combination of the shrimp tempura and avocado in this roll. The TKO Rainbow had tons of fresh fish wrapped in cucumber instead of rice. This would be a great roll for someone eating low carb. Both rolls were beautifully presented."
