Amazing hidden gem. Quiet atmosphere and excellent service. The inside is very nice and neat looking. The sushi was amazing. Wish I tried the sushi for two but it was just me. Saw a couple getting it and the sushi chef explained it all to them. Very friendly.

Another hidden gem. It’s hidden in a neighborhood shopping mall. We went there for lunch and ordered chirashi sushi and lunch sushi set. The sushi was excellent to good. I was pleasantly surprised by the udon. I chose to upgrade from miso soup and it was excellent! It was simply dressed but its broth had depth. The noodles were chewy. The service was warm and felt by being treated by my own grandma. . It deserves revisit.

I wasn’t sure if I had to make reservations but I walked in anyway and they seated me right away. The staffs were super friendly and welcoming. My boyfriend and I had the omakase course. The chef prepped the food thoroughly with a lot of care into it. He even asked if there were any allergy restrictions. We paced ourselves through each meal and everything was fresh and delicious. We did not mind waiting because it was mesmerizing to watch as the chef made the sushi. I thought that the price was reasonable and it felt like I was in Japan again. Would definitely come back even for non special occasions.

The quality of the fish at Kokoro is excellent, a clear step up from most sushi restaurants. We had the omakase, and each dish was very good. The abalone and okra dish was a standout from the kitchen, and the sushi chef is very skilled. The uni was the sweetest and freshest I’ve had. The rice for the nigiri was perfect, well portioned (i.e. not too much) and not overcooked.

I’ve been here three times, and got the omakase all three times. They are overall very good every time, but I definitely enjoy the sashimi dishes more than their baked / fried dishes. The soups are always good too.

If you love sushi then this is the place for you! I unfortunately couldn’t take any pictures of the sushi I ate because I was way too distracted eating it. Very high quality sushi made right in front of you. The chef takes a lot of care making each piece and each roll of sushi, and it shows. This is definitely my new favorite sushi restaurant. After your food do your taste buds a favor by finishing off with some green tea and panna cotta (dessert) trust me you will want more than just one of those!

Felt like dining in Japan. Minimalist decor with neatly served dishes. Don’t expect a cheap meal but a fairly authentic one.
