Customer Review Summary
Reviewers center on the hot food and quick-serve sushi, with a Korean pork stir-fry, teriyaki chicken, fried noodles and dumplings singled out as tasty and good for a child. Service is described as fast and friendly, though seating is small. The main complaint is price, and one reviewer found a sweet chilli beef with rice so tough it was inedible.

“Must be unlucky ordered a sweet chilli beef with rice, beef was so tough couldn’t eat it, cost nearly £10 , total waste of money. Have had food here several times has always been good. Don’t know if l would come back again.”

“During my meal, I found a hair in my sweet chill chicken with rice. As a customer, I expect a basic standard of food hygiene.”

“우연히 들른 이곳에서 가성비 좋은 한식을 먹었는데 너무너무 맛있었어요👍 제육볶음은 완전 한국스타일이라 매콤하고 맛있어서 그동안 한식이 그리웠던 저희에게 딱이었어요! 볶음면과 데리야끼치킨과 만두도 아이가 먹기에 넘 좋았네요~🫶 사우샘프턴에 있으면서 자주 갈것같아요😻😻”

“Really brilliant for quick serve sushi and hot rice or noodles pots. Freshly made on site and very tasty. The only downside to this place is there isn't a lot of seating - although I've always managed to get a seat whenever I've been there”

“Kokoro Southampton, same tasty food, good quality and best value you expect from the Kokoro brand, but the Southampton branch definitely has a different vibe and service. I’ve visited the Southampton branch many times (and I’m also a regular at Bath and Wimbledon), and this branch feels different in a good way. Better service, better communication, and the food always looks so tempting that you want to try everything. Definitely a different vibe from other branches. Well done to the team here!”
