Kokoro Restaurant

Good, clean, no frills food! Tried half a dozen appetizers; all were great but my favorite was the Forest Child Soup. Curry was good although I do wish it was spicier. Loved the Splash Udon noodles. And our server, Su, is an absolute angel of a woman. She was so amazing and really made the whole experience even better than it already was. Already looking forward to coming back here immediately as soon as we come back to Denver.

Mr. Kevin Hazzard is a fantastic manager with excellent customer service.The food here is consistently delicious and well priced. The staff here keeps a fantastic environment and enjoyable atmosphere to enjoy the food when dining in. It's a lovely spot to stop and get a quick bite to eat.

Came on Christmas eve for lunch and everything was wonderful. Reagan was the nicest server, but everyone on the floor checked in on me. The karaage chicken is the best ever.

I love this place and have for years!! $10 splash udon bowl is where its at! Clean, quick, good. Always good service too

What I really like about this place is the simplicity without taking away the quality of the food, and the ambiance where you can meet up with friends for conversations while eating a simple meal. Walking in, we were not greeted by anyone but our friends who were there already, motioning us to the table. Seated, we looked over the menu, which were filled with plenty of food choices front and back. The friends we were meeting here always get pretty much the same food: Kokoro bowl (beef and chicken), chicken bowl, and California rolls. Since we have never dined here, I chose the spider rolls and a beef bowl (super), and my husband chose the Kokoro bowl, and for $1 more, he substituted the white meat option instead of the offered dark meat. The spider rolls I ordered came with 4 pieces of soft shell crab, fried in a batter, and were wrapped in seaweed and rice. Cooked to perfection, these rolls were so good! They tasted so fresh too. This is one food item I would like to eat again and again whenever I visit this restaurant in the future. My beef bowl was very simple: rice underneath marinated beef with onions. It could use more juice from the beef, so I added some soy sauce, pickled ginger, and chili pepper powder. The added flavor to this dish enhanced my eating experience, because it was just enough heat for me to enjoyed the dish. Everyone enjoyed their meal, and the staff made the eating experience here an enjoyable evening. If you want casual Japanese food without a big price tag, give Kokoro a try. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by their food, prices, and service. Their two locations, conveniently located in Denver (on Colorado Blvd) and Arvada (on Wadsworth), are easy to find. Happy eating!

WOW, incredible service. The best service I've ever experienced. After a mix up with delivery, Dominic made everything right at his own will, which is not what I'm used to in the modern era of delivery. Great food, unbeatable service. Kokoro has earned my loyalty for many years to come.

Our server Matthew was awesome!! He had such a positive demeanor, very friendly, and tentative. Matthew always made sure to come around and check on us and our drinks were filled. Thank you Matthew for providing us a wonderful experience.
