Great bar sushi experience. The Aiko and Handies concepts were great so we expected this one to be as well and it delivered. We got a bunch of things but the sashimi and wagyu toasts were our favorites and the crudo as well. The chicken fat rice was the only miss for us. We’ll definitely be back

A little pricey but was definitely worth it. Not as many choices for sushi rolls. More of an upscale place! I tried several dishes on the menu and was not disappointed. Food is made fresh an right in front of you. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely recommend for sushi lovers

I had an amazing experience at Kokoro. The service was quick, the food was fresh, the staff were friendly. I recommend getting the Taraba, the salmon belly, the wagyu maki, and the maguro crudo. So yummy! I can’t wait to go back!

Definitely one of the best sushi spots in Houston! Always love coming here for tasty nigiri, crudos, and maki. Staff is super nice – Madeline is always attentive and helpful with suggestions! Don’t hesitate trying out Kokoro, nothing comes close except for Aiko (their flagship).

Oh, how I absolutely love this spot. I literally came here two days in a row back to back and both times we enjoyed ourselves completely. The staff here is very helpful and nice. I can’t get enough of their edamame!!! They like charbroil it and finish it with lemon juice and fresh sea salt. I absolutely love the Ebi Maki, Kani Maki, Spicy tuna Maki honestly, I’ve had all of the makimonos except for two and on my next visit I will be trying those last two. Chicken Fat rice was pretty good as well. Can;t wait to return for their happy hour.

Located in the heart of Downtown Houston. Kokoro is a great option to receive high quality sushi. The photos speak for themselves and all of the dishes I ordered created an unique dining experience. Would highly recommend ordering the A5 Wagyu Toast and Chicken Fat Rice.

A true – not so hidden gem- some of the best sushi I have had in my life in an unpretentious setting. The menu is accessible and has a reasonable number of options. There is generally always an open seat, and the quality of fish is outstanding.
