GET TO KNOW KOKORO

We opened Kokoro in 1986 with the belief in cooking and serving our food from the heart. As a family-owned Japanese food and sushi restaurant, our focus is on serving the best quality food in an efficient and inexpensive way. Since our opening, we've established two more locations where we continue to serve the same great food our customers love every day. We value our customers like they are family, whether it's their first time at our restaurant, or if they have been coming in once a week for the past two decades. We want every single Kokoro experience to be better than the last.

We pride ourselves not only on our food but also on the unique employment opportunities we offer our staff. No experience, no problem!
