KOKORO started out as a small Korean-Japanese restaurant, founded by Rak-Kyu Park just over a decade ago.

With only three tables available at the start, KOKORO has expanded into a booming franchise with over 50 locations across the UK. KOKORO’s success can be attributed to our customers’ appreciation for authentic and delicious meals, supported by good service through KOKORO’s reliable quality management in sourcing and packaging.

The key to success is very simple: you keep the food tasty, fresh, and healthy. The hard part is how you do it and how you maintain it. KOKORO in Japanese translates to heart, mind or soul. These are the most important ingredients in KOKORO’s food.

KOKORO’S FOOD PHILOSOPHY KOKORO believes that food has the power to recollect cherished memories and stories.

As a result, we strive to produce fine quality, heartfelt food. While working with the best suppliers in the market, we continue to challenge ourselves to elevate our menu and provide the best services possible to our customers.
