Kokoro Bento

Accidentally saw this place while walking. Food was delicious and cooked well 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻. The service was quick despite a lot of people buying! The serving is huge and it’s not expensive which is a big plus. So many choices to choose from. It’s vegan friendly as well. They have a few vegan options to choose from. This is a great place to buy food if you have limited time

Good value for the price, for me both these dishes were a little bit sweet. The servings were generous. The spicy chicken was crispy, the beef was satisfactory. The dishes could be improved by making the dishes less sweet and using less water to firm up the rice.

Very yummy and very well priced
Very busy, a bit noisy inside but lots of outside seating

Good food, clean and tidy, friendly just no parking unless you want to pay.

Gone here several times. Their sushi is top notch and they do curries and rice bowls. Reasonably priced, great place.

One of the best Curry rice 🍛

Delicious food, this is a hidden gem. If you want sushi, arrive early during the lunch hour.
Very generous portions for the hot meals and great low cost!

this my favourite sushi place in all of Brisbane. I’m a regular customer and I have never been let down. Good job

Great Asian restaurant!! Awesome sushi that is well priced, and nice rice and noodle bowls. Consistently great quality food and some nice sunny leafy seating in the courtyard if you are eating in. Everyone at work seems to like this place

I literally eat here every weekday because it is so good. Their chicken katsu curry is among the best I’ve ever had. Very quick service, so it’s perfect if you’re on the go.

A good place to have lunch during work hours

Kokoro have solid, we'll priced tasty meals. You can't go wrong here. Weekday lunch can get busy, but they always keep the line moving.

Ordered the chicken katsu. Chicken was great, but rice was a little dry.
Fast service, and very affordable price for lunch.

At first hard to find, but when you know the direction to go to Kokoro Bento is a pleasant find that has both the luxury of being semi-isolated and quiet as well as having its apparent popularity. Between the busy construction on Cordelia Street near Musgrave Park and the back end of the convention centre it makes use of the unlikely location to find somewhere to eat. This food is quick, affordable and all the most important - tasty.
It is a fairly small eatery that does not feel as such, with the open courtyard and tables outside. Kokoro Bento is an astutely recognised mixture of healthy, simple food that is palatable and quick for a spot of lunch. There is choices of sushi or traditional Japanese dishes (and a couple of Korean ones as well). Eating utensils and condiments are readily available for the customers to chose at their own decision before heading off; it should be noted that they do not provide plastic bags so if you are ordering a fair bit you might want to take your own.
Service is really structured, using the numbering ticket for orders. It is well-done and organised and it is all that it needs to be ultimately, it is that kind of place. Keeping it simple.
I got a curry chicken udon and some steamed gyozas from here, and both were pretty good. They did not taste like they came from a fast food outlet and the after-taste was actually good. The gyozas are readily available.
The gyozas were small, not very slippery like they can tend to be and were generously stuffed. The pork meat was subtle in flavour making these a good start before the meal. Looking back, it was fortunate to eat these first as there is the stark flavour of the curry udon.
How I did not make a mess and splatter with the udon noodles is a mystery with how slippery they were especially using those cursed wooden takeaway chopsticks to use in eating them. Still, it was all pretty damn tasty and generous. There were at least a half dozen bits of chicken katsu which were crispy and well cooked, with the chicken meat being soft and not yet falling apart. The noodles were soft and morish and it all came together as a satisfying meal.
Let's hope that this place gets more clientele and recognition; it deserves it.

Yummy. Good for lunch. Pricepoint/value very good. I recommend getting regular size - it's the same size as a large, but $1.50 less haha.

Fast but also nice and polite service. Spicy chicken rice is my favorite. Its an authentic korean taste. Loving it~~~~

Lovely fresh sushi and nice variety.will be definitely back .
