Kokoro

You're walking down Queen Street towards the Cathedral and you duck into Kokoro—it's properly casual, the kind of place where you actually want to eat rather than be seen eating. The menu's straightforward: ramen that's been simmered properly, donburi bowls piled with rice and toppings done right, and sides that don't mess about. It's become the go-to for anyone in Salisbury who knows their tonkotsu from their shoyu, and the fact it's got such solid ratings from locals speaks volumes. Service is quick, prices won't leave you wincing, and there's enough vegetarian options that your mates aren't left staring at an empty menu.
