My friends just moved into the area and I was curious about this place. Before I had decided to go though, I checked on Yelp to see if there were any positive reviews about the place. Since there was, I decided to give it a try since my friend owed me a dinner. Thankfully, I didn't have to pay for this meal because I didn't enjoy it at all.
We both ordered bento boxes. He had salmon teriyaki and I had chicken. The server (although friendly) ended up giving us both the salmon teriyaki bento box even though I had ordered chicken. I understand if the server/kitchen would get it mixed up had the restaurant been busy but there asides the table I was sitting at, there was only another table of 4 beside us. There should be no mix up. The good part was that she quickly went back in the kitchen and had the chicken for me ready in no time.
The overally quality of the food was just not great for me. The taste of teriyaki chicken was something that I can make myself at home but even better. The spring roll that came with the bento box just disgust me - one bite was more than enough. The sushi was passable (tastes good enough to swallow).
Unless my meal was paid for, I won't be going to Kokoro again. The only redeeming factor about the place is that the staff is nice and the prices are very very cheap.
I also didn't understand why the dine-in menu is a take out menu either....
