Clean. Reliable. Does the job.

The "lights out missionary" of food. Spotless kitchen, decent grub. Won't blow your mind, won't disappoint.

Great takeout, questionable sit-in experience.

Kokoro Maidstone is the place you pop into when you're craving something quick and easy. The battered tofu with katsu sauce is a highlight, but let’s not kid ourselves; seating is more about convenience than comfort. It’s a takeaway joint at heart, and while the food gets high marks, the sit-in area leaves a lot to be desired.

It’s clear the kitchen is doing well, but if you’re looking for a sit-down meal, you might want to rethink your plans. The experience might feel a bit chaotic, and some customers have had a rough time with orders. If you can overlook the messy seating, you’ll find decent food at a decent price.
