I am so happy to have found this hidden gem. This unassuming restaurant blew both my fiancé and my expectations out the water. When you enter the store, you immediately feel like you’ve walked into a little sushi shop in Japan. The waitresses were so lovely. Decor is simple and zen. The sushi qualit
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.
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 restrict

Kokoro restaurant has truly stolen my kokoro (heart) with the honesty and quality of their food. Located in an unassuming, honesty run down plaza, Kokoro’s entrance leaves very little expectation. Parking is easy. Their window treatments make them l
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 it
An absolute gem of a place. Most omakase restaurants especially in California are full of flash and don’t feel authentic. The chef here clearly cares about the food he puts in front of you and each piece is packed away beautifully with high quality fish, years of experience, and a touch of love. The
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
Felt like dining in Japan. Minimalist decor with neatly served dishes. Don’t expect a cheap meal but a fairly authentic one.
Hope to see more patrons here as we were the only dine ins on a Thursday night. Place deserves more credit but price and location may lead to its eventual demise. Eat here wh
Hands-down one of the best, most authentic traditional Japanese sushi spots I've ever been to outside of Japan.
If you're looking for rolls with sauces go somewhere else.
If you're looking for the best chirashi rice in the world, made with house-pickled kanpyo, then this is your place.
Decisive, str
Top quality authentic Japanese cuisine. If your idea of sushi is a California roll and Japanese food is Dynamite, this is not for you. Only seafood served here, no meat at dinner. The freshest fish I've had anywhere in this country, the sashimi is so fresh it's juicy. They have a monthly omak
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 th
Definitely worth the trip. It’s very traditional, so it is not imaginative sushi in anyway, it is just solid good quality old-school sushi.
A hidden gem; Kokoro restaurant offers a curated selection of fresh fish unmatched by other area sushi joints. They offer an authentic experience for a mid-range price.
Their beautiful ceramic tableware is what drew me to choose this place. Completely worth it.
ありがとうございました 🙏
We had Omakase for dinner this evening. First time dinning here. Pretty good food here. Highly recommended.
Good Japanese restaurant. I came there in lunch time and ordered sushi lunch, sashimi lunch, unagi bowl and California roll classic. I like the California roll and unagi bowl.
Was very happy with my entire experience here. I was originally worried about the price, but it was well worth the quality we received.
We ordered chirashi and a selection of nigiri and everything was delicious and well prepared/seasoned.
Very good food. The chef and staff was very nice. My wife is from Japan and she highly enjoyed this place. Kind of pricey but worth it.
