KOKORO Glasgow is a Japanese and Korean-inspired cafe at 116 Sauchiehall Street in the city centre. Part of a group that began in Kingston upon Thames in 2010, the Glasgow branch combines a clean, casual interior with fast counter service.
Handmade sushi is one side of the menu, with rolls and mixed selections prepared for a light lunch, takeaway or larger meal. The emphasis on fresh preparation and straightforward combinations makes the range accessible to both regular sushi diners and newcomers.
A hot-food counter complements the chilled sushi with rice and noodle dishes influenced by Japanese and Korean cooking. Curries, teriyaki-style dishes and other warming choices provide a substantial alternative when a cold selection is not what the occasion calls for.
The city-centre position suits quick meals, shopping breaks and food to take away, while the menu includes meat-free possibilities across both hot and cold sections. Guests with allergies, intolerances or dietary requirements should check the latest ingredient and allergen information with staff before ordering.
Address: 116 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow G2 3DH, Scotland
