Cocoro

I must say, their service was truly professional. The atmosphere was wonderfully subtle. The food exceeded my expectations, with each dish being top-notch. The presentation was impeccable, and the dry ice show when serving the sashimi platter was a delightful touch. Tiger prawn tempura was unbelievable as well.. I absolutely loved it.

An amazing dinner at Cocoro. We felt the food was very fresh and the flavours were carefully executed. Some reviews I have read have mentioned that the service could be improved. We experienced very good timely service. I wonder if some of the feedback on bad service could be down to cultural mannerisms. For 4 people we ordered from the a la carte menu: 1. Traditional sashimi of market seafood, 5 varieties; 2. Salmon, kingfish, snapper in new style sashimi, with a beautiful citrus sesame sauce (ponzu) 3. Karaage chicken 4. Seafood Tempura 5. Chumaki rolled sushi - prawn tempura roll 6. Inaniwa handmade udon noodles with cloudy bay clams, shitaki mushrooms which was introduced to us as a Japanese take on pasta. An added bonus was that the clams were huge. 7. Tobanyaki angus beef eye fillet on a sizzling plate. All dishes performed but standouts were the eye fillet, new style sashimi and the tempura sushi roll was a real underdog with that crispy rice made with akazu red vinegar. The portion sizes are not huge but the dishes are carefully executed and to have all dishes perform deliciously meant that we felt happy to pay the premium price. We appreciated the calm ambiance of the restaurant and I personally appreciated the dampened acoustics as sometimes you can find that restaurants can be acoustically poor.

I have seen a lots of review about this restaurant is not kids friendly on social media, I need to say that's false. We took our 2 year old daughter in with us tonight for the wife birthday, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend the Lamb and the Udon noodles. My daughter had 2 bowls by herself. Thank you for the awesome service.
