A hidden gem along Colorado Blvd, there's only one other Kokoro and you have to head north to Arvada.
I love the concept of a fast casual Japanese restaurant, it's perfect. The Chicken Karaage is only $5 and a crowd favorite. The udon noodles (they call them splash noodles) is packed with flavor and such a great craving satisfier.
The exterior is not great and the interior feels like a scene from 1950. But aside from that, there's a reason it's a hidden gem.
We cannot wait to come back!!! Super clean, excellent service and amazing food! Oh, and great prices! Got so excited about the food I forgot to take a photo right when it got to the table hahaha.
Feeling famished after a long day of driving and Kokoro really hit the spot! This is a budget friendly Japanese restaurant. The food is quite simple and good quality. My favorite was the splash, which is udon noodle soup. The servers were all very friendly.
Literally been going here for over 30 years. The one thing that really brings us back is the service. Everyone is so friendly and wants to know you. Most customers are regulars, and the staff is the reason why.
The food is also fresh and delicious. There is nothing on the menu that I would not recommend.
Great place to bring your family, and kids do great there. There are a lot of great options for kids and vegetarians to eat.
I’ve been coming here since I was kid, the food is never short of amazing, and the service is quick and friendly! Love the server who has been there for years, and the book store next store. Bought a crewneck at my last visit and it is my new favorite! It’s comfortable and the perfect fit. If Kokoro bowl is around they will always have Atleast one fan, me!!
Authentic Japanese menu with something for everyone. Food is delicious and feels homemade with fresh ingredients. The kitchen does quick work, and the service is always friendly. Low-key, no frills atmosphere with a distinctly Japanese casual style.
This is my first visit to Kokoro bowl, and it was excellent! I will be back – in fact, it will be a regular stop. I do love, rice, bowls, and Kokoro has got lots of them. Additionally, our waitress was a hoot! She was fun to talk to!
This place is delicious. My wife has been coming here for years but just recently took me for my first time. The beef bowl was so good. Plus add some ginger and spice to it. The staff is very friendly. I definitely recommend trying it!
It's been a while since we ate there, but as usual they don't disappoint. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. We even earned a free bowl through their rewards program.
Having visited Japan, I can say 100% Kokoro is as authentic as it gets. So delicious, affordable and fast. The unagi, tempura and beef bowls are my favorite but everything here is so good! Authentic and delicious, all for a great price? Why wouldn't you want to eat here??
