Kokoro in Kingston upon Thames

Food was delicious especially spicy fried wings! ❤️

Now closed This restaurant appears to have lost its identity. It used to offer a great menu, but all our group could say today was ... It's "Ok". Before it was always "Fantastic". Original review Limited menu. Average dishes. A far cry from this once excellent restaurant.

If you’re looking for a solo dining place, this is it, they have tables facing the window for single diners. I came here to try the black bean noodles, the noodles had a perfect texture, not too soft and the plenty black bean sauce - tasted slightly charred. I’d like there to be more meat, only had small slices very minuscule (there’s a seafood variation of it, so maybe go for that if you want more variety in your toppings). They also gave side dishes of some kimchi and radish for free, cups and water is on the table for you to self serve. You pay at the counter at the end, so just go up to the counter when you’re ready. Already pretty busy when I came even though they just opened. This place gave a family and home cook vibe, brilliant pricing.

The food was averagely cooked and the drinks were good. Unfortunately, the waitress had a bad attitude.

Ordered online, it’s pay cash on pickup, and was ready in under 20 min (on a Saturday eve). Food was all great, and the chili wontons were to die for 🔥
