Kokoro Restaurant is a delightful hidden gem in San Diego! 🌟 From the moment you walk in, the cozy atmosphere transports you straight to Japan with its traditional decor and chefs’ counter.
We tried the Omakase, and while it’s priced at $120 per person, the quality and presentation were top-notch. The Uni sushi was a standout - fresh and generous! The service was warm and welcoming, making for a perfect date night.
Reservations are definitely recommended for dinner, but it’s worth it for the authentic experience. We can’t wait to return! 🍣✨
