Yes, the chef has his rules, but he has been cooking himself for years and it shows, the food is always fresh, high quality, and delicious. It is a wait, but worth it and if you want a relaxing night out, this is the place to go. I think the rules are great, it's about time someone stood up to... more

My bf and I both have Asian stomach and we mostly eat Chinese/Korean/Japanese food all the time, so we decided to go to Kokoro since it is a local Japanese restaurant. I regret a little bit that I didn't check the reviews about this place first. Yes, I heard some complains about it before, but I never expected it to... more

A visit on a weekend involves a wait of at least an hour - after seating. This isn't due to the popularity of the restaurant, but rather the fact that the owner is (kindly put) a "character."

Although the food was quite good, just quite, it was not worth the 2 hour wait after taking my order. Also, my mind had mentally "checked-out"... more

Great food, though Tony goes a little nuts with the japanese mayo. If you are into the soup nazi, you'll love this place. more
