It's shiny and smiley. Big ticks:
- Friendly staff who seem to genuinely like kids.
- Opens at 530pm
- Kids area - more like a playpen with an inbuilt flat screen showing DVDs (Wall-E was on while we were there). The kids need to take their shoes off, nice and hygeinic if you had a crawler. Inside there are a couple of activity walls and boxes with Ikea train set and other odd bits. Could do with a some books. The classy thing is the cleverly positioned mirror above the enclosure which allows you to see who's in the playpen and what they are up to. Would of course be better if the whole thing was perspex so the kiddies can see you.
- Lots of big red high chairs (Ikea - the best).
- Toddlers at our table were given their own contemporary (plastic) eating set and to much excitement; plastic lidded cups with straws.
- The toilet was big and clean with a wall mounted change table.
- And importantly the food was great for everyone. Soft shell crab, little deepfried silverfish, chicken karage, tofu agedashi (Stella loves the silky texture), mini sushi rolls, tempura, a sweet and succulent pork belly and very nice fresh home made wasabi.
- For the non-drinkers there was a great list of mocktails. Two at our table enjoyed a lemongrass and mango concoction which was very lively, citrus-y and sweet.
- Asahi beer on tap and BYO wi
Kokoroya perhaps has other branches - I did notice a new shopfront near Danks Street Waterloo with the same signage.
Will definitely be going back.Shop 1&2, 665-667 Anzac Parade Maroubra NSW 2035Phone (02) 8347 2226
Update 15/11 - A friend made a good point that Kokoroya is not cheap. It's not pricey but it is sushi. Expect to around $25 an adult, not including drinks. Also, if you want to keep an eye on the little ones, ask/book a table next to the play pen. Thanks for additional tips Dan....
