Frequently asked
Does Kokoro UK use seed oils?
Based on our menu research, Kokoro UK cooks with: rapeseed oil. Across the 40 menu items we analyzed, it averages 6.0g estimated PUFA per item, earning a seed-oil grade of C (High Risk).
What oil does Kokoro UK cook with?
Our research indicates: rapeseed oil (confirmed in Kokoro's own ingredient lists for curry sauce and gyoza) for the deep fryers and woks, plus toasted sesame oil in Korean dishes and dressings. Kokoro publishes calories and allergens but not a fat breakdown, so fried katsu, korokke, spring rolls and wings are scored on rapeseed fryer absorption (PUFA about 30% of the absorbed oil fat) and sesame-dressed items on sesame oil (about 42%). Grilled teriyaki, braised Korean dishes, plain udon and sushi skip the fryer and score low. Preparation can vary by location, so treat PUFA numbers as estimates.
Does Kokoro UK use beef tallow?
No. Our research indicates Kokoro UK cooks with rapeseed oil, not beef tallow. For chains that fry in tallow or other real fats, see Tallow Watch.

What are seed oils?
Seed oils — canola, soybean, sunflower, corn, and similar vegetable oils — are extracted from seeds using high heat and chemical solvents. They are very high in polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), which are unstable at cooking temperatures and can oxidize easily. Many health-conscious eaters choose to minimize seed oils and prefer foods cooked in beef tallow, butter, coconut oil, or olive oil instead. This page shows estimated PUFA grams per menu item to help you make more informed choices. These are estimates — actual values vary by preparation and location. New to the topic?
