Kokoro in Liverpool

The food here is always so good, I love how they have so many hot and cold Japanese dishes to choose from. The service is very speedy, if your looking for a quick eat in meal or grab and go. The only thing I felt was missing was some music in the eating area upstair, just to filter out noises and bring some energy to the room.

I sometimes go to eat cutlet curry. You can also take out, the price is cheap, and the portions are large.

It's not Japanese its now a Halal Islamic practice and last time I checked that is not Japanese food. I wonder when this changed? I don't like religion won't be going back.

Always good hot food during cold days! Their chicken katsu curry is the best!

the staff were so kind and the food was gorgeous

Ordered for the first time and def will do it again!😍

Amazing food super cheap aswell and lovely treatment by the host.

Magnificent treatment and unbeatable quality-price ratio. We ate all this for £20 and were full. Don't hesitate to come.

pretty good for a japanese fast food place, it’s not everywhere in the uk you can get a decent katsu curry. portions are deceptively huge i could only finish half of regular size. will be coming back to try the sushi sometime!

Great food as always. I think the only thing missing is a bit of background music on the ground floor. It would make a much better atmosphere for both customers and staff :)

Amazing food, best rice ive ever had. The customer service is briliant and the lasy in charge is so happy and positive it makes it a pleaaure to be here.

Too expensive for what it is. Not enough food. Bad service

Hmmm... a bit dodgy. Japanese restaurant with a big sign "Arabic owned selling only hand slaughtered products". Put me off. Beware of that if you are veg/vegan. And unfortunately not japanese at all judging by the menu. Shame, as I was really planning to eat there.

My daughter is a regular and took me here. I had Korean fried chicken with rice and couldn’t finish it. Deceptively filling. We tried the seaweed salad and it’s really tasty. Would go again for sure.

This place is great I always eat in. The hot food is also good. For a place to drop in an ear it's good.

Super quick service, the food is delicious and super tasty; Highly recommended in the centre of liverpool. Super friendly stuff🤍

Excellent food, I will be returning for more

This place is great! I come here whenever I'm in the city centre for a social event, about once a week. The food is great (the regular portions are big enough for me), the staff are all super friendly and attentive, and upstairs is pretty much always quiet and chilled out. A little sanctuary in the city. Thanks!

Our first time visiting Kokoro and we'll definitely be coming back. The staff are very friendly and prompt with service. The sushi was fresh, flavorful and filling and the katsu chicken was hot, full of flavor and unlike other reviews, covered in sauce. The upstairs seating area is pleasant and clean. Very nice relaxed atmosphere.

Where's the sauce?! Got the chicken katsu (large) you would expect with this you would get more than a dash of katsu curry. It didn't cover the chicken and didn't even get to the rice. If you ask for more then you get a surly look from the assistant and pushed towards ordering a whole pot of sauce, which is too much for one meal. You would think I was trying to take more sauce from their own plate!! The old boss/ owner was never this stingy and never had this attitude. I can only guess the reduced reported cleanliness goes hand in hand with the current manager with their stinginess and bad attitude either with them or the staff under them. The food is still nice but improvement is needed on multiple fronts!!

Amazing sushi, also ordered teriyaki chicken which was served hot👍. Outdoor seating area, as well as indoor upstairs. Great value for money, generous portions, clean, friendly staff

My first time and the last one. I know Kokoro as a company and, this one, doesn’t represent it at all! The staff was bored, annoyed and rude, was looking like they didn’t want us to take the order. If I could give a vote for the costumer service, it would be 0. I usually go to Kokomo in Nottingham because I live there and today I was in Liverpool with friends and I was so happy to see that there was a Kokoro here, but once left the place, all of us we were unhappy. ❌❌❌

It was very helpful when I was traveling with my child. Warm cutlet curry and large tuna rice balls. The curry is not spicy so it is recommended for children. The sushi roll was moist and delicious with rice. The children, who were tired of eating out at hotels and eating out, competed for food. The Japanese clerk was very kind (and the other woman was also friendly), but it was a short time, but I had a great time☺️

Korean Fried Chicken is incredible.

Kokoro is a really nice place to grab a snack or a hot meal on the go when passing by. I love their onigiri, they are fresh and tasty and make for a filling and healthy lunch. There is a good choice of beverages and hot meals as well.

I moved down to Cornwall a couple of years ago from Liverpool, whenever I come back I make sure to come to Kokoro 💖 lovely food at a lovely price

Been coming here for two years and it’s always tasty. Staff are nice and plenty of seating upstairs. Plus there’s aircon for hot days! Sweet chilli chicken is what I usually get Recommend this kokoro branch

I absolutely LOVE this store. I was first introduced to Kokoro by a friend who also loved it. Ever since, I always go when I go into Liverpool

the food is great and thank god the sushi rice is sticky but there was a HAIR in the noodles 💀😭

Must try ! Amazing asian food When there many many time. love it

Alright place. Sushi was quite old and curry wasn’t great. Stomach doesn’t feel too great afterwards but not entirely sure if to do with this place.

Very yummy tempura shrimp kastu curry

Japanese fast food restaurant. There's nothing to talk about.

Been here multiple times, the food is amazing, they give huge portions and the staff are lovely and so kind, 10/10 would recommend

Friendly staff , served quick and the food was on point. I’d recommend it!

Food is always tasty! One of my favourite places to go as i can't find anywhere else that sells onigiri.

The food was great And high quality, there were also vegetarian options

This place is horrific. Used to order tuna and salmon set, £9.10. They made it without fish eggs as I have an allergy Now they try to charge £18,20 because apparently they cannot sell the rolls without her fish eggs to any other customer. It’s shocking they do not care for people with allergies and want to capitalise on it. Won’t be going back.

Food was absolutely amazing, service stellar. Best sushi I've had, better than any big chain I've been to. Rice was insanely soft and the tuna onigiri was to die for. Cannot comment on their hot food as we didn't have any (other than some delicious takoyaki), but they served other customers quickly and it looked amazing. Sat outside, but they have indoor seating upstairs. Excellent value for money - went back in and bought another sushi roll to have later. 100% recommended. Disappointed that we were only visiting the city for a day or we'd eat here every day.

The food is so good, we ate here twice in one day. Their Sushi, Gyoza & Chicken Katsu Curry were delicious, highly recommend if you're in Liverpool and like Japanese food 👍

Sushi taste good and fresh. Hot food is good too. Reasonable price for the food.

The staff are so kind and will give u help with anything they do absolutely fabulous food for cheap prices which is really helpful if u don't have much and want Japanese or Korean food the atmosphere there is so nice and it's not too hot inside very quiet as well

Nice food options. Very friendly owner. Atmosphere isn't the best upstairs though.

I took the Deluxe nigiri and roll set, it was filling, but because there was a lot of rice and little filling, it tasted fresh.

definitely a great place to quickly grab your meal. i ordered spicy chicken curry i believe and it was good! 😋 the regular portion is filling despite its size and it's nice to choose your own base (noodles or rice). vegetarian option is also available! the place itself isn't big hence why it's perfect for a quick takeaway/dine in. i've yet to order the sushi but i will definitely return to give it another try!

Restaurant that looked nice at first but after taking away, 2 platz of sushi were missing. They didn't want to know so no refund, nothing it's a shame! £15 thrown out the window

First time visiting this branch, it was a different feel to the other branches I have visited but nevertheless there was a lot of choice of food, the staff were nice and there was seating available. We asked for some sushi not to have wasabi on the side and we asked for some sushi to have avocado in instead of cucumber and it was no problem for them to make us new batches up. The portions are good sizes, even the avocado maki you get a big chunk of avocado not like other sushi places. Really great and I would highly recommend

Cheap but still very good sushi! Eating area was clean. Too bad there's not plates.

Fantastic, lovely food and huge portions of the curry. The staff are also so friendly, such a nice atmosphere, would absolutely buy from here again

the price go up, but the food amount less. I order chicken curry rice, only got 9 small piece chicken.

I use to realy like comming here almost 2 times a week, but as of recently the portions and quality have started the lower. I got a medium chicken katsu, and when they was puring the sauce "if you could call it sauce at this point, more like a curry water" they only use half a ladles worth, and when I asked if they could fill it with a decent amount, it was gonna cost me extra. Very sad that it's getting this way as I use to realy enjoy going.

The food is always very good. I bought a bento box with sushi a couple of hours ago for my trip and the tuna is grey, tastes weird (I had to throw it away) and now the carriage is stinking of smelly fish. Be careful, you may give people food poisoning.

This place is always busy but there is a reason for that the food is perfect and the amount for the price is amazing. I cant fault here at all.

A bit slow service but absolutely lovely food 😍

Delicious food but too much peoples

had noodles with teriyaki salmon was delicious and warming

Food quality and choices felt cheap for the price paid. Food had to be microwaved, expected it to at least be kept warm.

Staff not friendly, they do not give tray when we buy a lot sushi to eat and the food spill on floor just on right when she take from counter. Later my friend bought plastic for 10p and the staff just throw the plastic in front of her. It happens today and this is my last time. Takoyaki is tasteless, and sushi is so so. Never repeat again here. I feel ashame because I bring my friend here and sadly, bad experience for her.

The service was incredibly slow and the staff got the order wrong.

An amazing meal every time. I wont eat pre made supermarket sushi but the pre made sushi here is so fresh and tasty! The hot food is also really good. It's very affordable and a quick efficient service. 5 stars

Lovely big portions full of flavour at a good price, what more could you want if you are hungary? I had the chicken teriyaki.

Food was good, service was top notch.

Food was delicious, large portions and plenty of options!

The food is always made with love ❤️ Excellent food and worth every penny I'm a regular here.

Looks a little shabby from the outside, but go with it, food tasted amazing prepared in front of you and great value for money

Delicious sushi made fresh in front of you. Highly recommend

Kokoro is a really nice place to grab a snack or a hot meal on the go when passing by. I love their onigiri, they are fresh and tasty and make for a filling and healthy lunch. There is a good choice of beverages and hot meals as well.

Delicious food, quickly prepared. Sraff were friendly and efficient. Ample seating upstairs. We had katsu curry with rice at a very reasonable price for a good size portion. Only issue was lack of toilets on the day we visited.

The food it always amazing. Fresh and delicious! The seating area is upstairs.

If there was a 3.5 for food then I'd give it that. The sushi is nice, especially for the price in Liverpool. Seems fresh, the rice isn't dry like tesco 🤢, there is flavour. I remember it being better before. The rice was softer/had better texture. I'm pretty sure there was mayo on the sushi too

Always make the effort to come here when I visit Liverpool, amazing authentic East Asian food and indoor seating

Good food and welcoming/helpful staff

My friend and I have been waiting for so long to eat poke bawl and sushis. The sushis and the poke were super great but if you don’t like wasabi I would advise you to tell the cooks so they can take it out.

Great food and service, eating in is a bit like a work/ school canteen vibe, no music or background noise

Tidy shop, nice staff, ordered some salmon sets, the salmon was good in quality but just in too small and thin pieces, understand it is the cost issue, believe that it will be perfect if can make them back as traditional size...that is relatively larger and thicker in size.

The food was really nice especially sweet chilli chicken with rice, I have no words to describe it.

Fantastic food, great value for money. Amazing teriyaki noodles! Will visit every time I am in Liverpool.

It was the best restaurant I've ever eaten in the UK. Also, the owner and staff are very friendly. The restaurant was very clean and not noisy. I highly recommend a visit here

Delicious rice dishes. Also fresh sushi and noodles.

I went to this place because I wanted to eat rice. This is a place that sells rice bowls and noodles. The taste was okay to eat. It's nice that orders are accepted kindly. The price is also good value for money!

Great food... Freshly made... I thought they were takeaway only but they have plenty of seating upstairs.

Absolutely delicious sushi ! Had the Salmon lover set then went back the next day for the chicken katsu curry. Freshly prepared and very tasty food, will visit again when in Liverpool.

Great sushi. Hottest and best wasabi I've ever had 😅

Very nice noodle take out, if you fancy Chinese food. And very good staff. But Not the best place to dine in

Fav place to eat. Great quality of food. The fish is always fresh

This was the BEST meal I’ve ever had . It was were i first ate Katsura curry and its the best!!! Till this day even better than wagamams

Kokoro was fantastic. Lovely food and quick waiting time, Staff were polite and portions were huge with very good prices. Had very tasty vegan and vegetarian dishes as well as meat and fish. Side dishes were also really well priced. Loved it. A little cold in dine in area but not really an issue.

Love the food and people here. The rice dishes are really good. My fav is Sweet chilli chicken and the katsu curry. Their chicken katsu roll is also great and their dumplings are tasty.

portion sizes and prices are very good. food was lovely! we had 2 large chicken katsu curries with rice and a portion of chicken gyoza

Nice taste. It's relatively cheap and tastes delicious!

Food is good and tasty! Been to few other Kokoro, this one is average compared to others!

Wonderful sushi, poke, and hot food.

Brilliant, excellent quality, exceptional service and delicious food as always 🤤 There is something about this place that keeps me coming for more and more, and everytime I discover something new. I love it. EDIT: Blessed be thy Katsu Curry (any size); for thou be remembered thy Kimchi - extremely flavourful, crisp and firm thou shall I be obsessed with it. Love it.

Foods great! Only downside with our most recent visit is that they forgot things from our order. But it was quickly rectified 😊

Really tasty, freshly made sushi & sashimi. There was also hot food available but we didn't try any. Nice spacious area to eat upstairs once you've collected your order

Terrible! Save your money go elsewhere.

Nice food just the vegetables were a little bland but nice sauce and rice aswell as the seaweed salad

All good When you want quick protein fix of the chicken variety and doesn't cost the earth

I had the salmon lover set. Great value for money, fresh food and lovely service. Plenty of dining in space upstairs too. Would definitely go back again.
