| - I haven't eaten a lot of sushi in Toronto (I only come occasionally), and I've generally been spoiled by eating a lot of sushi in Japan.
So why give Kokoro 4 stars?
Because it's excellent - both in terms of value and taste - for what it is.
It's not on par with great sushi in Japan, but I wouldn't really expect somewhere in Toronto to be great - particularly not for the inexpensive prices Kokoro charges.
That sounds (even to me) like I'm trying to justify why I liked Kokoro, but honestly, it's more about knowing what to expect, particularly for sushi. Great sushi-quality fish is expensive in North America, so when I get very good sushi at a very good price (like at Kokoro), I'm always impressed.
We had exclusively rolls (salmon, tuna, rainbow, etc.), since I usually need to trust somewhere a bit more before I get much nigiri. And every roll was very good.
I particularly like that Kokoro does NOT offer a huge selection, because I find that to often be the downfall of a place like this. Kokoro sticks to a few selections of fish, all of which are fairly fresh. And the fish-to-rice ratio is very good.
Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.
