About KOKORO Hounslow

On Smithy Lane in Hounslow, KOKORO Hounslow is a Japanese restaurant built around customizable rice and noodle bowls. Diners choose two proteins from chicken, beef, salmon, or pork, paired with a rice or noodle side, in regular or large size. Udon and sushi round out the menu, alongside a range of drinks. Some noodle dishes come from packaged mixes rather than made from scratch. The restaurant operates on a walk-in basis and opens daily, with tables set close together for seating.

    “Beautifully presented meals, delicious and flavourful food and the kindest and most patient staff ever! What more could you wish for? It was truly a delight visiting Kokoro and I will surely visit again! The environment was clean and there were no major disturbances!”

    “Honestly disappointed that we had to pay extra for a bag when it’s the restaurant’s responsibility to package takeaway orders properly. After already paying for the food, charging customers for a basic bag just feels unnecessary and leaves a bad impression. Small things like this really affect the overall experience.”

    “Sweet and sour chicken and sweet chilly chicken was way too soggy. It tasted like rubber. This is my 3rd or 4th time visiting kokoro. The only saving grace was the katsu curry chicken. Thank goodness it was crispy but the watery curry sauce ruined it. Bland fried rice 👎 . To sum it all up i give it a 2/10 after multiple visits. Whats more absurd is that the price point..it is way too high for the quality of the food specially when there are plenty of better options in the area. The newer food courts offer better taste and value.”

    “A good choice to order take away from Kokoro. 1 portion (regular size or large size of bowl) can be filled with 2 different dishes/proteins such as chicken or beef or salmon or pork, etc, and also 1 side dish (you can choose between rice or noodle). With reasonable price, and good portion. They also sell udon, sushi, a wide variety of drinks, etc. Toilets for customers are not available.”

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often build their own bowl, pairing a protein such as chicken, beef, salmon, or pork with rice or noodles, and repeatedly praise the large portion sizes for the price, with one reviewer noting the spicy pork and beef bulgogi with egg noodles came with more meat than noodles. Close behind, sushi and the sweet chili chicken noodle combo draw mention, alongside a nice, clean space. Complaints recur around quality control: one longtime customer called the sweet and sour and sweet chili chicken "rubbery" and the katsu curry's sauce watery, while another found the chicken and salmon smelled raw and the bowl mostly rice. A few flag it as pricey for what's delivered, one notes the noodles looked packet made rather than authentic, and another objects to being charged extra for a takeaway bag. One reviewer also describes witnessing a staff member speak rudely to a coworker. Several visits still end with return trips prompted by the generous, meat-forward bowls.
