Kokoro in Wandsworth

Food used to be great at Kokoro Putney but something changed a while ago and warm dishes are way too spicy. Especially the sweet chilly chicken used to be one of the best dishes but now is so spicy that is barely edible. It is not sweet chilly anymore but rather just chilly. We hoped it was a one off thing but food quality seems to have dropped.

A bit of a guilty pleasure this one. A consistent menu with generous portions. Prices have certainly increased over the years. Not a particularly inspiring interior or vibe inside.

Absolutely fantastic, food is really good and portions are massive. Service is great the staff are really friendly and super nice. Really recommend the match boba milk tea

I recently decided to try Kokoro, a popular Asian fast-casual eatery in the UK, and it turned out to be a fantastic dining experience. As someone who appreciates both speed and taste, Kokoro seemed like the perfect choice for a quick yet satisfying meal. Upon entering, I was greeted by a clean and inviting atmosphere. The menu, offering a variety of Asian dishes, made it easy to find something appealing. I opted for a chicken katsu curry and some sushi rolls, eager to see if the flavors lived up to the hype. The service was impressively quick. In no time, I had my meal ready to enjoy. The chicken katsu curry was delicious, featuring crispy, tender chicken paired with a rich, flavorful curry sauce. The portion size was generous, and every bite was a delightful mix of textures and tastes. One thing that stood out during my visit was the friendly and efficient staff. They ensured that the dining area was clean and promptly addressed any customer needs, making the overall experience pleasant and hassle-free. Kokoro offers a winning combination of quick service and tasty food, making it an excellent choice for a convenient and enjoyable meal. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty curry or some fresh sushi, Kokoro is a spot worth visiting for its delicious offerings and efficient service.

really good place for boba, and the food's great too!

The best place for an Asian takeaway in Putney. The portion size is great and the staff are always friendly. Katsu curry is quite popular here.

What a great find! Stumbled across this place and it’s the perfect pre movie meal. I had the the sweet and sour chicken with rice and my partner had the spicy curry, sweet chilli chicken and rice (you can pick two toppings). Both meals were absolutely brilliant, would highly recommend the sweet chilli chicken.

This has to be the worst place I’ve ever eaten. I do not recommend anyone to go here!!!!! I had the sweet chilli chicken and I have been sick for 5 days. Gotten food posining here I have been vomitting and diarrhoea. Please stay far away from this place , the chicken is poisonous

Great quality food, at reasonable prices.

This shop sells affordable yummy takeaway food much better than Wasabi. For hot food, you can choose noodle or rice based, with one or two toppings (60p extra for two toppings). I had regular rice with sweet chilli chicken and teriyaki chicken, the rice was perfect consistency and the chicken had just right amount of juice. The portion was very generous and satisfied my meat craving, much better value for money compared to Wasabi!

I have not dined at this establishment in quite some time, which is why I chose to visit today. The meat was overly salty and lacked any discernible flavor. Despite my hunger, I felt compelled to finish the meal.

Good portions, tasty food, cheap and fast. What else ?

The sweet chilli chicken was really tasty and spicy. Service was quick and the cashier was very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be coming back soon to try out the other delicious menu items!

Had a lovely experience at Kokoro Putney. The gentleman serving us was very kind and helpful. Also the Curry sauce is to die for. 10/10 would scran again

I am a regular Kokoro customer yet Putney store is the worse by far… I ordered 2 large one with noodle one with rise, when I check my noodle dish… the noodle was cold and placed in the microwave to reheat… it tasted plasticky and gave me a very bad stomach…. They forgot to put the rest of my order in the bag that I had to drive and come back about 7 minutes later, my order was not packed properly that I had to ask the lady to pack it again as if she couldn’t be bothered…. Its a shame as I really do love Kokoro a food but Putney store is the one that can destroy its reputation

Pretty Yummy! Although not worth being awoken 3 times in the night due to diarrhoea and a further 4 more times to vomit! Probably would dodge this one.

Amazing customer service and the food comes very quickly. Food portions are very generous and the food is amazing.

This Place used to be a good place for lunch but unfortunately rice is always overcooked and italian girl kind of rude 9 quid for low quality so I am out

Echoing what others have said. An incredible value that is tasty and fast. Chicken katsu and curry sauce is very good.

Kokoro Putney is part of a chain of eat in / takeaway restaurants. When I first visited many years ago I thought it was expensive until I placed my food on a plate and I realised what value it was. A generous portion of spicy food that fills you up. I say spicy as that is what I go for, but you have other choices though the spicy pork with rice is just that - it doesn't apologise for being spicy. Friendly staff go hand in hand with the delicious food.

My recent sushi order from Kokoro was a complete letdown. The rice was soggy and overcooked, and to make matters worse, it had a strange metallic taste. It's disheartening to see a place selling such poor-quality food to customers. Highly disappointed and won't be giving them another chance.

They are so slow, you need to wait at least 10 minutes, if you are going to order its gonna be like an hour.

Very good Katsu curry, very friendly and efficient staff. One of the best places to eat on the high street.

Great food. My wife loves the Spicy pork.

The food was just a bit mid and overall not the best experience

What's happened to the noodles? They're disgusting 😒 Sweet chilly chicken too dry Only Sweet and sour can recommend

Danielle and Howard were amazing !!!

Очень вкусно, советую посетить данное место👍👍

For what it is, it is great. Simple and fast curry and noodle dishes with sides of sushi and dumplings. For 9 quid you can get a very large Chicken Katsu Curry. Great value for money. Its not a fancy place at all, great for a quick cheap meal.

Loved our lunch here and would highly recommend it and we shall be back as it was good value for money

I haven't ordered from here in person but have always used a delivery app. Each time the portions have been plentiful especially sweet chilli chicken and rice bowl. Love it too pieces. Just wish the edamame beans were cheaper as they feel a bit expensive. Thanks Kokoro. You're my go to

Delicious food and friendly staff

Giving Kokoro a break due inconstiency I gave them a go again after a friend seemed to have a good meal last week. Unfortunately this place is just more and more inconsistent as the months go by. The recipes of the Sweet Chill Chicken are never the same, and the off cuts of chicken used in the dish are the most disgusting, basically chicken knuckles, feathers, and all the most unedible parts of a chicken. Katsu chicken basically presented in the most unprofessional manner.

Food quality has dropped over past year and is also inconsistent. Rice is often overcooked

Stained all tablecloth, they put way too much in it was all over the place. Gave diarrhoea :(.

Brilliant service from Howard and Nitash

Howard and Nitesh were very helpful they helped me choose some delicious food!

Shre and Howard were amazing and very friendly Love the food and service always

It really is an Asian fast food outlet. Food is good and portion sizes are actually quite large and so in a sense good value for money. There isn't a real atmosphere, just some undecorated tables and chairs to eat at if you wish to. Food is tasty and staff are friendly. Putney always has a good vibe.

Loving this place, can’t get enough. It’s our family comfort food. We love everything especially the team: always helpful, caring accommodating. The food is awesome. Thanks guys!!

Good food great customer service very quick with your order

Very good food, generous portions and friendly service

Not as good as the Kingston one

Food was inedible. Was drowned in sauce, had to drain about an litre of it out to even eat it, and the chicken was dry. There was also pretty much an entire raw red onion in it. Couldn’t recommend less.

Really generous portions and food is good quality. Very handy place if you’re grabbing lunch or a quick dinner!

I ordered a chicken Katsu curry and asked the member serving me that for my daughter who has allergies I am after plain noodles. I was informed that they only have noodles with mixed style vegetables. Yet This was not the case at all! Upon plating out the food for my little girl it came to my surprise that in fact there was half an onion sliced and put in with these so called “vegetable Yakisoba noodles” Bearing in mind I paid nearly £8 alone just for this since it was the only thing my daughter could eat. I asked to speak to the manager who was very abrupt and rude when I asked why this is called vegetable noodles when it fact it’s just filled with sliced onions he then rudely responded onion is a vegetable! But in the picture it shows peppers and some other bits which were none to be seen. I explained that, you should just mention onion noodles since his colleague who served me mentioned to me mixed vegetables style noodle has in fact mislead me. He then was laughing and being sarcastic towards me and saying what you want me to do for you. I said the right thing to do would be to not mislead me in the first place and to refund me. He refused and said there is nothing else I can say now and he could see I was holding all the onions which I separated in the lid in one hand. After I sensed his lack of professionalism and customer care and I did not want to create anymore upset for my daughter I packed my things with my two little kids and left! I will also not be returning either. This was my local branch and I have been a loyal customer since their opening but since all they care about is taking money and not respecting customers and what is seen/chosen from their menu it’s best I save myself getting stressed and having my day ruined again!

Great food, simple affordable and filling. Great place for some quick takeout especially if you like some katsu curry with sticky rice.

So soo good. Had this in Manchester first but the London Putney ones is just as good. Needs an east London store!

I ordered a mix and match and it came with a long thick grey hair. It was inedible and when I asked for a refund, I got rudely turned away and was denied. It was very disappointing and upsetting. I would thoroughly recommend if you want unhygienic food which is disgusting from rude waiters. Never going to order from this place again and if I was you, I would stay away!

Good healthy food available here. We love their shushis and seafood udon.

I'm eating in Kokoro Putney everytime I have a job around here,typically once or twice a week. I find the food to be very tasty . The prices are very fair and the portion just massive. I don't know why I'm still getting large Spicy Tofu with rice as I can barely finish it. The stuff are very polite. It's a must place to visit . You will be very happy with everything. P.S : I'm eating here now!

The people working there are really kind and sweet. There sushi is good. Just want to thank the manager for being extra nice with us as she served us a customized set rather than just going with what is available.

Worst chicken katsu curry ever. I've eaten this a few times from the Basingstoke branch, each time wonderful. This one here was the worst ever. What were meant to be some nice chicken strips were like leftovers meant for pigs to eat. Some of the strips looked a bit more reasonable, but the other half was just sad looking lumps of dry and chewy breading. Absolutely disgusting!

A good place to have your fast food

Go for the chicken katsu, skip the yakisoba. Don’t make the mistake of going for their yakisoba. That was what I started with and it was downright disappointing. It was noodles with sauce plus a sliver of raw onions and carrots. I didn’t expect amazing noodles but this one fell so low on the radar, eating it made me feel cheated and angry at the same time. That said, there were redeeming factors. The chicken katsu was great. The chicken was piping hot and crispy and the sauce was decent. Service was also quick if not a little chaotic. Would go back for the chicken katsu and only that.

Spot on-lovely staff, clean and good atmosphere. Chicken katsu and rice I had-thoroughly recommend that.

Great food fair price. Best customer service!

(Putney kokoro) Howard made me feel welcome and was kind!definitely made my day and i wish him a great day too!

Kokoro is amazing good and price for the amount you get. The staff are quick and friendly. It's clean and there is barely any waiting time.

very tasty and very friendly service!

Amazing food, great quality and value for money. Maria and her Indian friend are really friendly too !

Quantity and quality of food are exceptional. Good value! Ivy was very nice.

Best dim sum and sushi in Putney. The staff are always friendly and have a smile on their face. It makes it even better to come to kokoro regularly. Great food great staff, what else can you ask for

Chicken teriyaki was not good, smelly, soggy, too sweet. I would not recommend this place.

The staff is lovely and so helpful. They deserve the best!

It was my first time here. Their sweet and sour chicken is to die for. Service was kind, however there was a confusion with my order that they sorted out quickly. I definitely will be back.

Rather dirty, overwhelmed by the orders … seems the place had better moments and is now in decline.

I've been going to kokoro for over a year now as I love it so much and never had any issues until today , I was served by a girl I think she was new, she wasn't listening to my order atall and asked me questions that she should have know the answer to through me ordering, i eventually got home and opened my tub of food and there was barely any rice, I'm quite upset as I paid £9 for this, the portions are usually spot on and enough to fill the tub to the top , but sadly this time my experience wasn't very good. Also the chicken teriyaki had so much pepper on it, not like it usually does, so it wasn't as enjoyable

huge bucket of rice and chicken, what's not to like

I wouldn’t eat in but the food is great!

Tasted good but the rice was falling apart :)

Its fairly good and quite fresh . No egg fried rice only steamed but still quite nice. Recomended

Kokoro for me never really disappoints.

Hit and miss. Sometimes tasty sometimes avarage food I guess depends on the "chefs".

Incredibly friendly and nice staff.

Only takeaway i prefer freshly cooked food.

Delicious halal chicken, one of my go too's for authentic food

Best staff and great service by Tejal and Maria

Amazing value for money & I come here more often than I would like to admit. Big shout out to Tejal and Maria.

Kokoro is another Japanese chain I've tried out today which is good. This is something new to try out I've been dining at Wasabi Sushi Ben to for 16 years and you've got a good choice of what to eat. For the hot food, you can have the dishes in a regular size or large size with a choice of Rice or Noodles to go with it. It also has the choice of various sushi dishes as well. Very nice choices and very nice food as well. I reccommend it.

Ordered a large one but he gave a regular and only filled with half full of the thing we ordered. 21/03/2022

Delicious food, very good price and fast service! Will come back

I went at around 3 pm today, and ordered teriyaki chicken noodles. The chicken was very smelly, like it was clearly from yesterday or even before. It was inedible, and the taste was much worse than other kokoro branches. Don't order chicken teriyaki here, try katsu curry instead, it is more popular so it is usually fresh.

Pretty s***...sushi made for people that doesn't know what sushi is! Totally covered in pink mayo sauce with crispy onion. Very difficult to eat! Very American...

Amazing tofu Katsu and amazing staff! You will never be disappointed eating here

Chicken Katsu curry with noodles is very delicious!

Great katsu curry and other options

Disappointing. Didn't have either dish that we wanted. Service was slow. Chicken Teriyaki tastes nothing like the salmon Teriyaki and wasn't very good. Why the hell doesn't this company believe in knives and plates??!! Annoying! Won't be rushing back.

Very nice warm friendly service, I was allowed to try before I buy 😀

We always thought this place is expensive but actually not. And portion are satisfying. My favourite is the Chicken Katsu 😋

Sweet chilli / Tereiyaki chicken and sticky steamed rice very tasty

The best salmon teriyaki I ever eat..and plenty of delicious salmon..Jomi,jomi..

Delicious, but paying extra for mix&match is a robbery

First time I visited thìs establishment I won't be going back.

Always delicious whether going for hot food or sushi.

Me and my boss went here to eat. We both had katsu curry and both had to take the next to days off work with food poisoning

They were struggling with cleaning that day

Yum! Good place for a quick lunch.

Nothing special but nothing to complain about either. The food is fine, fairly priced and fresh. They get a lot of delivery orders which sometimes makes the service slow, especially when there are lots of delivery drivers waiting.

Great value, good quality south east Asian fast food. Large portions quickly served by friendly staff. Not always easy to get a seat but otherwise recommended.
