These rolls were not very flavorful. I think I would try adding more spices next time.

The tempura batter on these rolls was too thick. It made them difficult to eat.

The chicken in these rolls was a bit dry. I think I would try marinating it in something next time.

These rolls were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try using less oil next time.
