Kokolo Donburi - Pleasanton

The portion of the katsu and rice bowl is quite generous. However, the steamed eggs make the crispy batter soggy, which takes away from the enjoyable aspects of the katsu. I would recommend trying a different dish. On a positive note, the cafeteria has a nice atmosphere for dining!

My personal favorite is the curry beef bowl – it's packed with flavor and offers great portion sizes for the price. Every time I've ordered the katsu, it's always been crispy, so I'm not sure what the other reviews are referring to. It’s just a matter of common sense: when ordering crispy items, it's best to avoid pairing them with soggy ones. This is a fantastic spot for delivery or takeout; they package everything separately, ensuring that it stays crispy and well-ventilated, even during a 15-minute drive home.

When our buzzer went off, we headed to pick up our order, only to be told that the tempura was still being prepared and would take longer. That was fine, so we returned to our table and began eating. About ten minutes later, a staff member approached us to ask if we had ordered the tempura. After confirming we did, he simply pointed us to the front to collect it ourselves. It would have been nice if someone had brought it to our table since we had already experienced a delay. Once we got the tempura, we wished we hadn't — the batter was awful, and there was an excessive amount of cheap oil, making it inedible. We also ordered chicken katsu, which turned out to be soggy, and we couldn't help but throw most of it away. Overall, I cannot recommend this restaurant; it seems they don’t use quality ingredients and their cooking leaves a lot to be desired.

We have been coming in the area when the family does not know what to eat when we are out. Kokolo is in a food court area at the Pacific Pearl in Pleasanton.We love the food at KoKoLo, I usually order the Beef Sukiyaki or the noodles. Very tasty and good quality. My wife and kids order the other food which they also loved. There are a lot of Asian food options at the Pacific Pearl but, I certainly recommend to try it at least once if you are in the area.I give it a Four-Star rating as compared to its similar category of Food-Court food.

This location is inside a food hall type venue. The seating withing Kokolo's area is small but the hall has plenty of seating. Food was good. I ordered the Sauce Chicken Katsudon with rice. The Katsu was great. Fried and the chicken breast was juicy. Not dried out which can be the case for some katsu. Which the meat to rice ratio was better. Could use some more sauce though. Overall would eat here again and try more of their menu!
