This Kokoro Branch is really underrated. I like the sides, especially the fries.
The quality of the ramen is usually admirable with great flavour.
General rule of thumb: seafood is meh and shoyu > miso

Excellent soup base. Reasonable prices. Get the extra noodle and you will definitely be full. I shared the extra noodles with my wife.

Promotion done by social media influencers for this place is misleading. Online was advertised for cheaper, when I went in person, they said it was always the more expensive pricing. Very disappointed that they charge more now when it's a new promotion.
Just saw the giant rat pic, I'm completely grossed out and will never return.

đ Solid ramen on this side of town
đ·ïž Can get a bowl of ramen for $13 (as of October 2025) đ§âđŒ Attentive and friendly service đž Good location
Went with my little one to get some ramen on a rainy day. We were promptly seated at the large table in the middle. I appreciate that there is flexible seating. We ordered soon after looking at the menu.
They offer a 12.99 tonkotsu ramen (without egg) as of October 2025.
The drinks came out first and the food soon after. The ramen was solid. I prefer a ramen that is served a bit hotter than this but it hit the spot.
If you're driving, I would avoid parking at the London Drugs lot because it's nightmarish. Street parking off Victoria is probably your best bet. Transit is best to get here.

Excellent service, they let me order even through they were closing. The ramen is delicious, and the whole restaurant looks beautiful. Would definitely recommend for any ramen lovers!

One of the best miso broth ramens I've ever tasted! The service was equally impressive: friendly, attentive staff who made the whole experience feel welcoming and seamless. Highly recommend for any ramen lover!

Very good food, excellent service and much to choose from. Drinks were varied and not all alcohol based as well, which was nice.

Good price. The chicken tan tan ramen was great. Amazing service. I forgot my backpack and walked across the street to the bus stop. The waitress followed me all the way there to return my backpack.

Really disappointed by what I witnessed here. A mom came in with her little kid who urgently needed the washroom. Instead of showing any understanding, the man who seemed to be in charge was very rude, saying they donât offer a public toilet and told them to go to other restaurants. The kid looked scared, and the response felt unnecessarily harsh. Iâve eaten here a few times before, but after seeing that, I wonât be coming back. A place that doesnât care about people just isnât worth supporting.
Kokoro Ramen has always been pretty good/decent in my past experiences. But I was very disappointed on my last visit. I always look forward to a tasty ramen egg but on this visit, the egg was overcooked. It was so disappointing.

The food is good, but one factor that makes me hesitant to return is the way they handle customers around food sharing. I was there with my husband, and since I wasnât planning to eat, we just ordered one meal set. The server immediately told us we couldnât share foodâwhich felt unnecessary, considering we paid for the meal and I had no intention of ordering for myself.
Another time, when dining with a group, my cousin simply tried a small side dish from my plate, and someone from the counter approached us with an upset expression, insisting that we could not share food and must order separately.
Iâve worked in the same industry before, and I donât recall discouraging customers from sharing food theyâve already purchased. While I understand some restaurants may have their own policies, the way this was enforced felt discouraging and unwelcoming. I hope management can reconsider this approach, as it affects the overall dining experience despite the good food.

I have driven past this restaurant for years. Finally got to try it with friends. Nice restaurant with lots of light and very clean. We got there at opening so wasn't busy. By lunch time it did pickup but there were still a couple of tables free. Ordered tonkotsu miso ramen, kokuton Tonkotsu ramen and another ramen that can't remember the name of.
I enjoyed my ramen. Broth was tasty and the pork was yum. Good amount that I was full. I like the white noodles, but one of my friends preferred the yellow ones.
Service was good. Waitress came back several times to check on us. We stayed right through the lunch hour and never felt that they were rushing us to leave.
Definitely will go back again

We came here for dinner and ordered the spicy chicken ramen, tonkotsu ramen, takoyaki, and chicken karage. The tonkotsu ramen is very good, but the chicken ramen is average. Chicken karage is recommended with spicy mayo. Location is very close to bus stop. Service was okay.

It is my first visit and I tasted a classic tonkotsu ramen, I really liked it but I felt that it lacked meat and balance of ingredients, it is still perfect.
