Kokoro

Head down to The Avenue and you'll find Kokoro tucked away offering proper Japanese basics. This isn't the place for Instagram-bait presentation or experimental fusion nonsense; it's about getting honest bowls of ramen, decent sushi and donburi that won't empty your wallet. The 3.6 rating tells you it's got its fans and its off nights, which is fair enough for a neighbourhood spot that's been pulling in locals looking for something beyond the high street chains. It's the sort of place you go back to when you want something quick and reliable rather than a special occasion.
