JB Eat: Kokoro Don & Noodle (心丼) @ Tan Hiok Nee

Kokoro Don & Noodle is a new Japanese restaurant located along Jalan Trus, near to Tan Hiok Nee Heritage Walk. It is officially opened on 11 November 2024. Although Kokoro Don (心丼) is a new setup in Johor Bahru, its main outlet in Batu Pahat, along Jalan Seluang, has been serving Japanese dons since 2018.

Kokoro's JB outlet has two floors and is ultra spacious with wooden furnishings and cosy lightings.

The restaurant's main dishes are Japanese dons and noodles with either chicken or fish. Rice bowls have addition choice for Korean-style smoked duck with kimchi (韩式泡菜熏鸭丼). For beverages, there are western coffee, kombucha, tea pots, special refreshments and cheese top (seems interesting). They have several selection of burnt cheesecakes too.

Kokoro has set lunch promotions, a dish and a drink from a selection list, from 12pm to 3pm.


The Spicy Kokoro Don is the spicy version of the signature Kokoro Don and served with chicken katsu on egg and Japanese rice. The rice bowl is accompanied by a bowl of tofu soup and a small dish of cold tofu side dish. The fried chicken has crispy batter and the meat is tender. The egg is topped with seaweed strips, cherry tomato slices, bonito flakes, chopped spring onions, spicy spice powder and dribbled with light sweet-savoury sauce. The rice bowl is delightful and with pleasant flavours.

The Pomegranate Lychee, under the "Refreshment Special" category, is a soda drink with two fresh lychees. It has a nice flavour and mildly sweet.

There are still several dons, and also the noodles, to go for at Kokoro Don & Noodle. As a coffee drinker, I am curious about those "cheese top" drinks.
