ABOUT KOKORO RESTAURANT

We opened Kokoro in 1986 with the belief in cooking and serving our food from the heart. As a family-owned Japanese food and sushi restaurant, our focus is on serving the best quality food in an efficient and inexpensive way. Since our opening, we've established two more locations where we continue to serve the same great food our customers love every day. We value our customers like they are family, whether it's their first time at our restaurant, or if they have been coming in once a week for the past two decades. We want every single Kokoro experience to be better than the last.

We pride ourselves not only on our food but also on the unique employment opportunities we offer our staff. No experience, no problem! We hire people with little to no experience and teach them the skills they need to succeed and build fulfilling careers in the food service industry. Our team is tight-knit and full of long-term employees who have helped us build up the reputation we have today. To show our appreciation for all that they do, we offer great perks and a supportive work environment to help our employees thrive.
