" Cocoro is definitely a restaurant worth visiting. I love their range of traditional dishes that are hard to find in other places. The tonkotsu ramen was rich in flavor and a great portion size. I'd come back again just for that! " (*Curated Review*)

" It's hard not to fall in love with this restaurant! The quality of their offerings is second to none, giving you an authentic taste of Japan. I had the sukiyaki which brought back wonderful memories for me. However, get ready to take your time as everything is made fresh to order. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great dining experience! The seating was comfortable, and the service was prompt. I ordered a variety of dishes including sushi and ramen, and everything was freshly prepared. I would say this place is well worth the hype surrounding it! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about this restaurant from friends, I was excited to try it. The atmosphere is very nice, but I wish the service was a bit faster. The food is great but the wait time affected my experience. Still, worth a visit if you have the time! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is an authentic Japanese treasure hidden in River North. The flavors reflect true Japanese cuisine, and their service is always friendly. I particularly enjoyed the grilled mackerel, which tasted just right—wonderful smokiness! I keep coming back for what I consider the best Japanese dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a fantastic meal here. The pork katsu was outstanding, crisp, juicy, and the portions were generous. The whole atmosphere was relaxed which made our linger longer than intended. I think Cocoro has become a new favorite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Very cozy place! The food was nice but not earth-shattering. I expected more based on the previous reviews, but maybe it was an off-night. I tried the sushi combo and found it to be decent but nothing spectacular. The service was friendly but could be improved in response time. " (*Curated Review*)
