   4 or 5 tables available inside. Food being made fresh on site. Plenty of staff, some friendly, some not - quite a rushy feel to it. My son is adamant he saw beard hair fall from one of the staff member's faces into the Katsu curry sauce.

   I went at lunchtime to pick up some sushi, I selected the crispy chicken to take away. Opening the box, turns out my sushi labelled as chicken was shrimp. I returned to the store and just asked to swap it out for the chicken one, explaining they must have labelled it wrong. The server was rude and just stared at me. I explained to him again it was the wrong sticker on the box. He didn't apologise, I asked if it was okay if I just switched it and eventually he replied, "erm okay then." Just be really aware especially if you have allergies. Very unapologetic, I won't return.

   I should've gone to KFC. Why? Because what you get in KFC is consistent. This Kokoro is very stingy with toppings, and the food is a bit stale. I have been to many Kokoro branches, and the difference between how much topping they give you compared to others is huge. When you order a large, you don't seem to get any more topping, just more noodles. The problem with places like this and Chopstix is that you are at the mercy of the staff as there are not measured amounts they give. Maidstone Kokoro are reasonable and fair, whereas here you are paying £10 for microwaved noodles, with a few bits of chicken on top. To argue that they are just toppings doesn't add up as the other branches give a fair amount. I asked for the two toppings version and chose the Korean chicken. There wasn't much left so he scraped out the last of that but that was it. I then asked for Teriyaki as second but I noticed he only picked out a few bits when I started to eat it. In terms of the food, it was dry and bland. I appreciate it was half an hour before closing time but that doesn't mean I should get stale food. If the good deteriorates and they don't bin it, they shouldn't charge full price for it. They're just being tight. Overall, very poor. I won't be going back which is a shame as both myself and my Son love the sweet chilli chicken and would now have the opportunity to visit this one regularly. If you want a good kokoro, go to Brighton or Maidstone. Sevenoaks was poor. Otherwise, go to KFC. Or Five Guys.

   Popped in for a quick, light, lunch whilst shopping in town. Tasty freshly cooked food and a can of cold drink for under £10. What’s not to like? Will certainly be back

   Nice Korean/ Japanese restaurant chain eatery that's recently opened in the town centre to grab a quick and filling bite to eat... There was a bit of a wait on the food as they were replenishing the menu so when it arrived it was freshly cooked and not sitting out for a while... Dishes on offer range from katsu curries, beef bulgogi, and salmon teriyaki served from the counter and sushi /sashimi sets from the fridge... Had the veggie katsu curry with rice together with some vegetarian spring rolls and it was what I wanted for a convenient hassle free / no fuss lunch...

   I have yet to try any sushi from here but the hot meals they do are so so tasty! And very flavoursome! If you can sit in do so it’s better. Service is always good and never waiting too long which is great if you’re super hungry or in a rush! Definitely recommend if you’re into South Korean/Japanese food! And great value for what you get!

   Fresh and really tasty food at this branch. I am not usually one for going into franchised chains for takeout food, but I can't help myself when it comes to Kokoro! Had the Pumpkin Curry and avocado sushi, which tasted amazing. Can never go wrong with this place, highly recommend.
