Possibly the most true to Japanese cuisine I had in Chicago. Reminds me of mom n pop restaurant with a little bit of everything from ramen, sushi and bento boxes. My favorite would be their long list of izakaya style appetizers and nabe. Also the oldschool coffee jelly is available!

Having lived in Japan for years, this place brought me right back. I had the unajyu, which was very soft and delicious and the rice was fabulous, while my wife had the nabeyaki udon which was generous with the vegetables. Extremely authentic top notch Japanese food, if a bit pricey - but I've not found better quality for the price so it's good value to me considering we're in Chicago and not Japan.

Amazing delicious delicate plates! From sushi, fried oysters, beef udon soup, mini salad, steamed egg soup too. Yumm. Everything was delicious!
Service was impeccable and timely.
Metered street parking was easy on a Saturday dinner hour.
Must try!

The best Japanese restaurant in the neighborhood. I love Cocoro. It's nice to eat at a restaurant that's comfortable, has no loud annoying music, and pleasant staff. It has good variety. Actually decent Nabeyaki Udon which is one of my favorites. It's really difficult to find good Udon -most restaurants only serve ramen.

Kinda pricey kinda underwhelming wouldn’t come back or recommend -
Also, authentic doesn’t mean they have every single type of Japanese cuisine available, it just means you don’t do any of them well and all are mediocre
wish the family the best however

Wow! We recently bought a place here in Chicago about two and a half years ago and have been searching for our go to sushi Japanese restaurant. We have looked in the city and in the suburbs and finally today we found our go to Japanese restaurant in Chicago!
This restaurant is authentic the services amazing the food quality is spectacular it is elegant it is everything you want in a Japanese restaurant. The shabu-shabu presentation that I didn't order but I will next time is off the charts amazing!
This restaurant has been in business I think since 1996. I can't say enough about how great our experience was at this restaurant.
It tasted excellent, nice and peaceful atmosphere, and the service was excellent.

Came here on a Tuesday evening with a party of three. We were seated promptly by the friendly wait staff. Their fryer was broken so we didn’t get a chance to try anything that required it. The seaweed salad, cold tofu with bonito flake sauce, and the various rolls were excellent! I finished off the meal with some fantastic red bean ice cream with the anko topping. Definitely recommend trying this place out!

Been looking everywhere in illinois for a Japanese restaurant that has Japanese speaking people to practice but couldn’t find any until I went here. The most friendly atmosphere and real Japanese food that makes you feel like you’re in Japan. It’s a little pricey but honestly worth it. Even outside of my Japanese bias it’s still my favorite restaurant right now.
