I love going to Kokoro Maki! Especially for lunch. They have great lunch box specials that offer a couple pieces of sushi, salad, and teriyaki. I also really liked their vamped up ramen bowel.
The sushi is pretty good and reasonably priced. The restaurant itself feels very family friendly and family owned, but in a cozy way. Everyone that works there is nice and they try to thank each party as they leave, which is nice. We've been eating there for several years and always find its reliable for a good meal.
New Favoirte!. I have an asian food addiction and Kokoro Maki House has landed on my regular rotation.
I have been there twice so far and it was delicious both times. I have tried the Chicken Teriyaki and the Oyako Donburi. Haven't tried the sushi yet. What I have tried was hot, fresh, and flavorful.
I also like the semi-fast food style. Order at the counter and the food will be brought to your table. No waiting on wait staff or fussing over empty glasses. It's pretty low-key so this isn't the place to go if you're looking for something fancy.
The location is great for eating before going out on the town, being right down the road from the best bars in Waldo.
So, so good. Beautifully prepared sushi in this little Waldo gem. Reasonably priced will keep us coming back for a long time. ps.... Best sushi in KC
Good sushi and it's made quick. loved the chicken teriyaki. juns Japanese has TERRIBLE chicken. this place is way better and $7.95 vs Juns $11 (horrible)
Decent... will be back, I'm sure.. This is a great spot for a decently quick lunch. Terribly disappointed in the ramen, it was... just... ramen, like from the packages. The Hot Mama roll was very tasty and at $8.95 a sushi bargain. I'm still intrigued with their Korean offerings. I'll be back to try the bim bim bap and kimchee.
Fantastic Sushi!. My friend from Maryland was in town and wanted to get some sushi. I found Kokoro Maki House here on Urbanspoon and thought we'd give it a try. We weren't sure exactly what to expect, but we were both very pleasantly surprised! The sushi was very fresh and very good quality. The restaurant itself is simple, but pleasant and clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The prices were excellent and we left full, satisfied, and ready to go back again soon!
Much cheaper than many sushi bars around and tastes just a GREAT!

This place is awesome, hands down. It tastes as good or better than some of.the ritzy, atmospheric places like Nara or Ra but doesn't break my wallet. Staff its very friendly as well. I left my purse there on a Saturday and since they are closed Sunday they held it for me until Monday.
Nice family owned restaurant serving Japanese / Korean fare. Atmosphere is humble but a nice alternative to night club vibe of Ra or sushi joints in Power & Light. I like this place for the selection, price and portions. Everything I've ordered has been quality. Staff is very friendly.
It's a very peaceful and chill sushi house. The seating is unique as well as the atmosphere, and the service personnel are always patient and accommodating. The food is always delicious, I usually go for the Sunday morning specialty sushi, but I recently ordered the bulgogi, and it was so yummy!
10/10🖤🖤
My husband and I ordered several rolls of sushi for take-out. We were disappointed by the size of the rolls compared with how much we paid ($40). We classed it up at home using some of our own fun dishes.
We might try one of their soups sometime while dining in—my husband saw a couple eating soup at a table while he was waiting for our food; the quality and amount looked much better for the price. Not satisfied with our experience here yet, but I will update the review if we try it again and enjoy a better experience.
Good sushi good price. We got the lunch special to go. Next time I'll try something different. I look forward to trying it again. My daughters love sushi and this sushi wasn't fancy like they like but it was good and they enjoyed it.
Very delicious sushi at a great price! Happy hour every day 4-6 with awesome specials. Fish is fresh and orders are made quickly. My 11yr old loves the California roll and I ordered the Tuna plate which had a Boston roll, Spicy tuna and 2 tuna pieces. Have been here a few times now and will definitely return for the good food!
Affordable sushi with a nice atmosphere! Their miso soup was light and tasty. I highly recommend the Veggie Fantasy roll: soy paper with cucumber, avocado, lettuce, carrot, and a few more veggies, topped with spicy chili sauce. A completely vegan and gluten free meal for just under $10. I also weirdly love their wooden chairs!
Lady up front was very nice and polite. Ramen and Chicken was delicious. My order was delivered in good time. Good restaurant for where it is located in the rough parts of KC. I will come back here with my girlfriend or family.
Wow the food here is amazing. It is a sushi restaurant with plenty of Japanese cuisine and drinks as well. They have nice happy hour specials ($1 off a sushi roll!) and a nice selection of drinks, including sake and beer both American and Japanese. The food is the best- order a bento box which gives you a little of everything! Parking is across the street off Wornall. They have a tv inside playing news or sports. Definitely worth checking out!
We come here a lot ever since moving to Waldo - takeout and dine in are both very consistent in quality. We’ve tried something different every time we go! Can’t go wrong with any of the sushi (nice, simple rolls with a lot of vegetarian options too) and the bento boxes are HUGE. We like the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki best. They’re a strong contender for the best crab rangoon in town and having a scoop of green tea ice cream or mochi after the meal rounds it out nicely! A great local experience.
Nice place! It's small and was quiet when I went which for me less crowded is always nice. The sushi is made to order and is done well. I certainly enjoyed the food and while it can be pricey, they have deals like their Bento boxes that make it more affordable. Not my Go-To sushi place but a good one nonetheless.
I get their food takeout here with my fiance sometimes. Great tasting food and decent service. In a great location. Would recommend ro any Asian food lovers in KC.
