Kokoro Restaurant

I would give this place a 3.5 if I could. To start, the place was very nice and interesting. The staff was was very kind and attentive. They even helped me sign up for rewards which gave me a 40% discount!!!! Now the food... We order an Iced tea and hot green tea. Both were very delicious. I got the miso soup and a tuna onigiri. It came wrapped so I am unsure if it was pre-packaged. It was so, so, so, salty. I thought maybe it was the first bite, nope, the whole thing tasted salty. Far more saltier than seaweed should be. The miso soup was hot and nothing special, bland almost. We also order the miso ramen and beef curry bowl. The miso ramen was so delicious. So rich and brothy. Especially with this spicy paste(sauce?) they gave us. The curry bowl at first glance is nothing special but it was very yummy. All of it together, the rice, the sauce, the beef. It all paired perfectly together. For dessert we go green tea mochi. They were delivered frozen solid but they were so good. (You can't really mess up ice cream mochi.) I recommend this place but some items are better than others.

Like other reviews state- some dishes are better than others. I’ve been here a few times & really enjoyed the forest soup, the pickled salad & some of their apps. The wings are great. The sushi is a little too heavy on rice, you can hardly taste anything else. They seem to have a ton of beverages but they aren’t on the menu-they should probably fix that. Service was excellent! Everything was quick and nice.

Kokoro is possibly my favorite dining spot in all of Denver. Each location serves delicious Japanese comfort food at reasonable prices in a warm amd inviting atmosphere. The beef curry bowl is a personal favorite that I always order with a side of beautiful and lightly fried shrimp (Ebi Furai). Prices are beyond reasonable for the quality and quantity diners receive.

The nice lady, that took my order was very kind. I enjoyed the seaweed salad and karaage chicken. I believe, I had the Kokoro bowl. I didn’t enjoy the taste of the teriyaki sauce that was on it. It had a very interesting after taste. Other than that, I will come back and eat here again.
