I came for a light dinner and sat at their curved white wood bar. Their prices have not increased. Service was very quick. I started with a large glass of fresh iced black tea. I got the Nana Tuna Poke bowl with no rice. Plenty of seaweed salad, diced cucumber and avocado slices were included. I got a cup of Forest Child soup made with mushrooms, onions and carrots. For sushi (you can't avoid rice) was 8 pieces of the Spicy Tuna roll. All good. My server, Kevin H was pleasant & got me a free refill for the iced tea.

Got this place because it was on but 1 get one free for gyoza and chicken katsu on Uber eats and it was so bad. The rice was fine but that's kind of hard to mess up. The miso soup tasted so fishy and it was really gross. The katsu was sooooo thin I couldn't even taste the actual chicken. The gyoza was good but really oily it's like they didn't let them sit before packing. The bowl with noodles was just so off mark. My husband said it sat super heavy and the flavors were not there. So bummed as I thought this would be my new spot.

Not impressed at all! 2nd time I tried because everyone can have a bad day! The veggies were so mushy and swimming in water at the bottom of the bowl. I paid 2.00 extra for no rice and extra veg and tipped 18 % . YUCK! Not going back for sure!!!! I'm in the restaurant business and they should definitely up their game!!!'

We hadn't been to Kokoro for a long time because we had moved from the area so when we were recently in Arvada we stopped in to have one of our old favorites. Over the years we have tried probably the whole menu but this night I wanted just the regular beef bowl. I love the steamy hot rice with the juicy beef and flavorful onions. I, of course, topped it with the bright red pickled ginger. My husband added the vegetables to his which makes a more filling meal but for me the regular is just the right amount of food. Sometimes you just want a bowl of good memories.

Food: 4/5 | Service: 5/5 | Ambiance: 5/5 Tonight was my second time trying Kokoro and I think it will be a new casual spot for me to enjoy some Japanese comfort food. It's very charming inside to me, reminiscent of an old diner. It's clean and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The service was 11/10. The FOH manager tonight was so funny and everyone was kind. My server, Su, was the sweetest woman. She complimented me many times, was very patient and informative when explaining their rewards program and menu items, and she gave me Hi Chew candy at the end of my meal. (Their rewards program is just your phone number, and beer and sushi get discounted when you use it. You also get freebies over time which is awesome)So far in these past two visits I've had:Chicken curry with white rice: 3.5/5 stars - curry and rice were great, *IF* it was chicken katsu it would probably be 5/5Tossed green salad: 4.5/5 stars - vegetables were so fresh. Vegetarian roll (avocado & cucumber): 5/5 stars - simple, satisfying, & perfectly made Green tea cheesecake: 3.5/5 stars - very tart and has a gelatinous texture to it. Maybe it's a Japanese way to prepare cheesecake, considering it was crustless. Didn't taste like green tea much at all. Was interesting though!Forest child soup: 5/5 stars!!! - The forest child soup will be something I order EVERY TIME I go. It is so comforting and delicious.Tuna Poke bowl: 3/5 stars - I wasn't a fan of the tuna so much, it tasted a little fishy and lemony Hot Green tea: 5/5 stars - very tasty, they give you a whole tea pot! They even pack it to go One of the biggest shocks to me was that the alcohol was all around $5 (Sapporo and Asahi!), when I usually see the same drinks at other restaurants for $7-$9. I'll definitely be back for the forest child soup and vegetarian rolls regularly.
