Popped into Kokoro on my lunch break and really enjoyed it. I ordered the large katsu curry on rice and the portion was huge and very filling; the curry sauce was rich and tasty and the whole dish was great value for money. The only slight downside was that the rice was a bit overcooked, but it still tasted good and didn’t spoil the meal at all. I also had the mango aloe vera drink which was really refreshing alongside the hot curry. The shop itself is quite small with limited seating, so it’s more of a grab and go spot than somewhere for a long sit down meal, but the staff were friendly and efficient. I’d definitely go again for a quick, tasty lunch.
Always love me a kokoro so had to take one home before my train trip. Same toppings and sides as always with your choice of rice or noodles. I opted for noodles but they were slightly too soggy and too much soy sauce compared to my previous trips, the katsu curry and sweet chilli chicken hit the spot like always so that was great. I got served by a sweet friendly Asian auntie and she was kind the entire time.
I was walking past when I saw the halal sign on the window and you know me I like a bit of halal meat I do plus I'm a window shopper, if me like it me buy it, me likey likey. Got one of those large white pots with a mix of rice and noodles and chicken and curry sauce and some spicy sauce and God knows what else they put in there but it sure tasted great, very filling and trust me I can eat. Noodles were so good, not like them tasteless, thick ones from Oodles Noodles yucky mucky. Service on point, the chap topped my pot with some curry sauce. All in all great experience dining in, would go again, any one up for it, see you on the other side!
Ordered via Deliveroo. Was delivered one hour late. Sushi were cut in various sizes with over boiled rice. Missing components (like tobiko and mayo) and a very bleak taste. Worst sushi in my life. Went to the bin 🤨
These guys are awesome, so friendly and generous when I go with my family, food taste amazing I can't get enough of the sweets chilli chicken and kimchi rice. Go every time I'm in Leeds and the sushi is great especially when they make it fresh
