had lunch with friends last weekend. lunch menu price was less than we expected. nice menu and presentation, and of course the taste too! service was excellent. we loved this place for everything including the decor. we knew this place belongs to Soto restaurant owner, the menu is similar to Soto, but much less price.

Soto is also wonderful but we thought we might like this place better because of the price, plus this place is much quieter than Soto where they have very talkative manager who always wants to talk a bit too much when we prefer to have our own space and moment.

Absolutely amazing! Service was fantastic, food and drinks arrived promptly. We had the degustation, with matching wines and sake. I’m new to sake so i requested a mix of both wines and sake – and they were more than happy to accommodate this request. The food was simply sublime! Not cheap, but for a special occasion – you can’t got past Cocoro.

I could not recommend this restaurant enough. We headed a long for the Saturday night Omotenashi degustation dinner. It was an amazing food journey made better by the matched sake selection. Not cheap, but you are getting the best of the best.

I stumbled upon Cocoro by accident – I walked by and it caught my attention so I talked my friend into having dinner there and we were in for a lovely surprise.

The ambiance was inviting, the layout generous and the decor stylish and reserved.

We were immediately tended to and drink orders taken. There is a large selection of cold sake to choose from – in a good price range.

We had Kingfish / Hamachi sashimi which was excellent.
Bluefin tuna / Toro nigiri which was generously portioned and of great quality.
Bluff oysters, prawn tempura, scallop dynamite and chawanmushi made for a excellent meal.

The style of the food was based on traditional Japanese cooking but with some great twists to it.

The service was excellent, unobtrusive and swift.

After we paid and gave our compliments to the kitchen, the chef and owner came to see us with a little treat. We enjoyed chatting about his restaurant and his food for a few minutes.

I’ve had a passion for Japanese food for years and this was a dinner experience I won’t forget.

Needless to say that I will be coming back to enjoy Cocoro’s hospitality and food again.

The food here is probably good, but good luck getting anything to eat. The service is hopeless. They lose the order, leave you sitting hungry for ages and then are perfectly happy to charge you for your drinks and send you away hungry. Hopeless … if you want food go some where else.
