Amazing flavors 😋 thank you!!. Service was fast. Love always come here for brunch time.
10/10. Alex was our server and gave amazing recommendations. The sushi is incredibly fresh and succulent. The fatty tuna and smoked salmon belly were my favorites. Even the soy sauce was fire! Can’t wait to come back!
Very Authentic Sushi and Yakitori experience in the heart of Houston. Perfect for couples or solo trips. Sake and excellent wines by the glass are served 10 feet away at Soho . This place is very good and if you have been to Japan or want to experience a truly special food experience you will visit Kokoro. Ive been for both Dinner and Lunch in 24 hours and still can't get enough.

Kokoro serves amazingly fresh and delicious dishes, with standout options like salmon sashimi, barramundi, and spicy tuna roll. The restaurant is a hidden gem, offering a high-quality Japanese dining experience that exceeds expectations in its unique location. Vegetarian choices are also plentiful, including veggie rolls and shiitake nigiri. The staff is friendly, attentive, and accommodating, providing excellent service that includes education on Japanese food. Guests have praised the amazing food, such as Chicken Fat Fried Rice with fried egg and Bluefin Chutoro Sashimi, and they enjoyed trying the chef's favorites, which included kurodai, Suzuki, Madai, and kanpachi. The atmosphere at Kokoro has great vibes, featuring a clean, minimalist interior that creates a pleasant and authentic dining experience, complete with a view of the kitchen area. While it may have a higher price tag compared to other options, the freshness of the fish, the artful presentation, and the overall experience make Kokoro a must-visit place in Houston.
