Kokoro Guildford in Guildford

My favourite at Kokoro is Salmon Teriyaki with plain rice. Tried before with noodles rather than rice. But noodles is already sweet and Teriyaki sauce is sweet as well. Rice goes better with Salmon Teriyaki meal. Today I decided to try something new. I ordered a Sweet and Chilli chicken. I'll never have it again. Too dry and chewy.

Great fast food with chilli chicken, katsu chicken, and other oriental dishes served in a basic yet tasty way. Somehow an indulgence, and a guilty pleasure.

Sweet and spicy chicken!! Absolutely top notch and our go to favourite. Moved to Guildford and I'm so glad there is a halal Kokoro here!!

This store refuses cash so I will never shop there again. In any case there is a great Thai grocery store at the top of Guildford High Street near Coop which sell much better products, great friendly staff and accept cash like real human beings

Excellent food. Clear Halal certification. Well packaged for takeaway.

I noticed that portions of meat are getting smaller. Today I have ordered Chicken katsu curry with rice and the bowl was full with rice and just few pieces of meat on top. I was not happy about it at all.

We ordered sweet chilli and sweet & sour chicken and it was chewy, not fresh and really bad. Never had worse food than this.

The chicken katsu curry with rice was delicious—crispy and tender, with a good portion size. Prices are super affordable, and the staff were really friendly. Highly recommend if you're looking for a tasty, budget-friendly meal. It's my go-to spot for quick meals.

Order sweet and sour chicken. Some bits of it are not even chicken in eat but plain fried flour. The sauce tastes to basically ketchup base. Really disappointed with it. And small ball regular mixed with rice more than 8.00. Ridiculous and abusive price for the quality and quantity.

The lady in counter is very rude …

Good service and great tasting food(tofu Katsu curry with rice and sweet and sour chicken with rice)

Everyone are so kind and we know so many people because of going there often

Kokoro is one of the best and my most favourite places to eat in Guilford! Pam who serves us the most is the most wonderful person iv ever met, always service with a smile, always polite and makes me feel at home. Eating here feels like mummas home cooked food. 10/10 for everything will always be back for more I can't get enough. Everything on the menu is so tasty! I recommend it all! Xxx

Absolutely fantastic food and amazing service with such friendly staff. I’d highly recommend the katsu curry with fried rice

Yesterday, I went to the store with my son. Just as we were about to pay, my phone unexpectedly switched off. Luckily, I had a charger with me and asked if they could help charge the phone for a minute so I could pay with my contactless. The lady at the counter immediately shouted "noooo" without giving any reason. She was so dismissive and didn't treat me with any kindness. As a black woman, I couldn't help but wonder if her reaction had something to do with my race. It was a very shocking and bitter experience to be faced with such racist behavior from an angry Asian woman.

Delicious food, would highly recommend the sweet and sour chicken, teriyaki chicken, and katsu curry chicken!

quick service, delicious food. happy to help

The food at the restaurant was delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. However, the sitting area felt a bit cramped due to its small size. Overall, it was a great dining experience, but it would be even better with a more spacious seating arrangement.

Really generous portions and friendly staff. Loads of options too. A bit pricey but worth it for a filling asian meal.

Always great fresh food here. I normally have katsu curry with noodles and extra sauce. Always really hot and lots of it. Highly recommend if you want to grab a quick and cheeky lunch. Very filling so it normally does me for dinner too. Price is decent for the amount you get. Staff are always nice.

Unbeatable value, the portions are unreal. The shop is a tiny soo it’s hard to eat in but the service is quick and the food is great. 10/10

2 new guys serving tonight, they were lovely and paid attention to make sure my meal was nice! Thanks for the great food and keep up the great work! 👍

Dirty cheap - amazingly delicious. That's all you need to know to choose this place.

Great sushi and hot food. Not too cheap but for sushi at this quality. it isn't insanely overpriced. Would recommend to anyone going to Guildford

Huge portions for little money. Large portion (gallon bucket) of rice/noodles with choice of meat or fish and vegetables 6-9 lbs. The food is very tasty! There are ready-made sets of rolls.

Fresh tasty food, especially the sushi rice and wakame salad. Friendly team happy to serve. Could have more stools inside even with the limited space inside. Also, why have a sign that says 'Cash only'. 4 customers read the sign and left in 10 minutes. They DO take card, but cash is preferred.

I ordered udon and chicken which were both raw. I also ordered chicken and rice the chicken was as hard as rock. I used to buy the same meal here but suddenly the taste and quality of the food dropped, I think the staff in the kitchen changed, the food is awful now.

Tasty takeaway, Japanese style, fresh food, not much waiting time. Recommended

Amazing food!! V good service!! Noodles , sweet and chili chicken and katsu are delicious!!

Poor. Very poor. Had the sweet chilli chicken today and the chicken was hard, burnt covered in sauce. "You can't put lipstick on a dog and send it for a date"

My partner loves it here and ordered Friday. KokorO? KokorWOW more like (in his words).

Food was ok, chicken was a bit dried and the place is small.

My favourite place to get food to go in Guildford. Always have salmon poke bowl and salmon set. Friendly staffs and quick service.

Had the sweet chilli chicken - 80% of the chicken pieces were grey / black and gristly / chewy, clearly the most horrendous pieces of meat just covered in batter. Cost £8 for a small pot of this chicken and rice, complete rip off.

Gave me food poisoning something about the chicken and rice.

Awesome food, fantastic portions!!! I will recommend it!

Always have my sweet and sour chicken which is usually really nice! Tonight it was bland and something was not right with the chicken. Was awful!

Small restaurant with nice staff and very delicious food. I recommend to everyone🙂😋😋😋

Very tasty food and quick service in person. Only downside is that some dishes were reserved for deliveroo only (salmon) so had to pick something else even though it was there.

Ordered food online and it was so good.

This is such a wonderful little food place, but the staff here don't make it feel like another chain restaurant, they are friendly and charming to customers and work like a well oiled machine to get people served and keep the food topped up. The food is always fantastic, tasty and fresh and it's my favourite place to get food from in Guildford.

Good food, but little space to sit as it was cold outside. Two bar stools by the door. Great vale..

I ate it because I brought it hot chicken curry might have picked the wrong thing I didn't like the rice

Used to be really good, but from couple months back it seems the staff has changed and so has the food quality. I normally get spicy pork and katsu curry. I’ve noticed in the recent few times ive got spicy pork and katsu curry from here, the pork meat is REALLY STINKY and not spicy either. The katsu curry chicken is pink inside not cooked properly, quality has really dropped since staff changed!!!!. This place used to do the best food compared to other Kokoro franchises but it has now dropped to one pf the wordt. Disappointing!!!

Kokoro has always been my go to takeaway place and I do not know what happened but their food has gone way too sweet. Their beef and chicken is literally biting into sugar. Its just an imitated Asian food for the western. They used to be a good for their low price and ready made food catered in front of you and ready made sushi in the fridge so it was also time efficient. But since their increase in price and reduced portion sizes it has lost its value compared to other new restaurants and takeaway shops near by. 10 minutes wait and with paying a little more can get you a bigger portion freshly cooked for your order and better flavour at Hanki with a lot more Korean food options which is just upper side of the high street for example. And better sushi takeaway from Sushi Nara although there is a bit of a price difference. I guess people have different preferences in their food such as faster and cheaper food or fresh and better food, so Kokoro still do work but now I feel they are falling behind the trend as the standards of people are starting to notice nowadays.

Everything we have ordred has been great apart from the Sweet and Sour Chicken and Sweet Chilli Chicken which are FAR too sweet.

Whats with the change in portion size and the price hike. Lost a weekly customer

Didn't like the hot and spicy pork .

Great food and friendly service. Throughly recommended.

Great place for takeaway sushi and hot food. Always tasty!

Wanted some lunch . The food is very good

Really popular place, great place to get quick food. Prices have gone up but they still give you a good portion even in the regular size

If you’d like to be served a chicken katsu curry in the form of a handful of rice and a peice of chicken swimming in a soup of curry sauce then by all means go ahead

Sweet chicken and rice always the best

The sushi boxes were pretty good. Few seating places...otherwise mainly its for takeaway.

Excellent, really excellent food at good prices. Much more in the pot than I'd expected, flavour was unreal. Highly recommended.

Yummy food and really friendly staff

NOT vegetarian friendly, they used the same scissors just used to cut the chicken, to then cut the pumpkin korroke without washing or even wiping, I usually have the tofu which isn't cut so I don't have bits of corpse rubbed on my food.

Very nice food, quick serving staff

Good food and a nice menu. Speedy service.

Ordered by Click & Collect to collect ASAP, when I arrived was told to join the back of the queue and had to wait 30 minutes in total to collect. To top it off the chicken teriyaki was awful, poor quality chicken, bland sugary sauce, no spice at all. Katsu was good but overall an awful experience of what was meant to be a quick and convenient takeout!

Nice portion, taste, amazing food!

Food was good but a small disorganised place to stay in

Very friendly, prompt service.

Food is good but sitting area was bit small. Overall, good experience.

Nice food but too cramped up. More suited for taking the food to fo

Sweet and sour chicken has to be made with chicken breasts only! Other chicken parts taste awful in this meal. Sauce was good but taste of different parts of chicken ruined the meal.

Always awesome. Sweet chilli chicken all the way.

Not happy. I ordered the vegetarian noodles. Aside from a 1cm piece of green pepper and a few slithers of red onion it was literally a bucket of noodles. Probably cost 50p to make if that.

Good alternative to regular fast food. Good portion, service could be better but we were in and out so I was not so bothered about this.

Really good katsu curry and quick service! Takeaway good but sometimes a bit cold.

A great kokoro, always good quality and fresh rice. Prices are a bit higher than other kokoros but I guess that's expected in Surrey.

Always fantastic food here. Generous portions, reasonable prices and friendly, quick service. The sushi I’ve had has always been fresh and tasty. The hot menu is varied with something to suit all tastes. They use chicken thigh rather than breast meat which I prefer due to the better taste and texture- I find it a lot juicier and not dry at all (although if you don’t like dark meat, it may not be for you). We’re very lucky to have 2 branches of Kokoro in Guildford and I will definitely remain a faithful customer!

The greatest place on Earth. I spent every weekend here in college, their spicy tofu is the nectar which sweetened that entire period of my life. Godspeed, Kokoro

they have zero opotions for gluten free diets, :-(

Quick service and super yummy. Love kokoro.

Today I ordered a sweet chicken this chicken is not the same as a few months ago zero veg some old chicken with sauce it was the last time I order from you

Not good at all … I have ordered chicken teriyaki which was like Oily bag of sugar with dry chicken. Lady who served it looked like she really didn’t want to be there. I would never order anything from that place again

Sadly Kokoro is not what it used to be, having been for 5 years, the quality has dropped dramatically with higher prices. Went 2 days in a row and there wasn't salmon teriyaki. After opting for chicken katsu instead (the first time), the rice was hard and the chicken soggy, like it had been out for an hour. The staff were actually very friendly, but the hot food is not the same.

Pre-ordered this amazing sushi platter and I'm so happy with it!

Great rice! Rice is probably made by a rice cooker, so the human element is excluded. ----- I've ordered a teriyaki chicken. The sauce is oversweet for purpose of masking the loads of vinegar in it. The veggies have been fried almost raw, but that is a good thing, because they offset a poor taste of the chicken, that was browned on a low heat which made it completely dry and rubbery, also I believe the chicken wasn't prepared the same day I have ordered it. I was cooking this poor on my own 20 years ago, when I was a kid, nowadays, this style of cooking is completely beneath me and my amateur cooking skills. Except the rice, this food is nowhere near the Japanese food, this is a traditional British vinegar chow.

Fantastic, as usual, one of my favourite takeaways. Great food, good value, what's not to like.

Sauce is so sugary it was like syrup! Overcooked and not good quality.

KOKORO is one of the best sushi places you can find in England. It was probably the best sushi I have ever had in my life. The service was amazing and the staff were super kind to us and I would go there any day of the week and they were all round just fantastic.

It can be pricey but the quality is there. Amazing service too

Food is good, portions are big, works well if you have an AMEX card with Shop Small. Recommend it

Very good food. Thoroughly enjoyed it

Good price for the food and portion. However spicy pork has a strong taste of ‘pork’ which is too much for me. Not sure if the meat is good quality. Spicy tofu is good tho.

Another order, another case of food poisoning. Rice tasted a bit fishy with my sweet chilli chicken, thought it was a bit weird as I don't recall fish sauce in the sweet chilli chicken, woke up in a cold sweat feeling rough as. Checked the allergens list on the website and no mention of fish. Leads me to assume they had re-used rice that had been packaged with sashimi or something similar and in a reheat something bad happened (I'm not allergic to fish sauce/fish) . No bad the craving for kokoro I won't eat there again.

AVOID. The menu has incorrect pictures for the items (the menu shows 12 pieces of three different types of rolls for their 8-piece california rolls box, which only had Katsu). They sent us wrong items within our order, then over the phone said they would not be able to refund or exchange them - we would need to contact the head office for that. When I asked them for that number, they said to look it up online because they weren't able to provide it.

Excellent food and service. My favourite place for takeaway. Not a fan of the new recipe for chilli chicken, but the rest remains really good.

I had the spicy tofu (vegan) and it was delicious. Initially thought there was too much rice, but it ended up being just right. 🍣🍙🍚 It took me under one minute to get served and leave, great for the pandemic.

Great Taste Asalwys, Amazing Staff 😉

Great food as always, filling mess all with plenty of variety.

Neat food makes my tummy like yep that's good stuff man eat more yeah

Very unhelpful staff. Prioritising deliveroo orders as they're able to make more money than from serving walk-ins.

Always fast service and the food is actually hot ❤️

Fast service and good food. Would recommend going there. Only downside? Small environment but cozy atmosphere.

Katsu Curry always good. Friendly team and always reliably good food. Keep it up

Best sushi takeaway outside big bad London
