text: Dropped in here during Phoenix Comicon and ended up coming back every day I was there Location can hardly be beat The wait staff was very friendly and helpful probably one of the best parts of eating at Kokoro actually nnWhoever did their interior design really knew what they were doing The place really has a great feel to it nnI went with a friend and we focused more on the dinner items and less on the sushi so I can only speak to that Katsudon was great They added a bit of kick to it for a southwestern touch which turned out really well Their salmon teriyaki was great considering the price My friend ordered their fried rice and liked it so much that he kept ordering it three days in a row My friend also tried the tempura which he said was a bit subpar but considering the price well worth it nnTheir dinner items come with miso soup and a salad as well Salad is to be honest rather plain but it is nice that they include it considering how inexpensive the dinner sets are The miso soup was a bit salty for my taste but still good I would not recommend the spicy korean beef steak In all honesty the katsudon had more kick to it and the flavor of the korean beef was fairly weaknnOverall eating here was a great experience The food on average is a great deal Prices are fairly low especially considering their prime location in the heart of downtown In general you get more than you pay for here but do not expect it to be the best in the city nnFor good food on the cheap in the heart of downtown Phoenix I would recommend Kokoro although not necessarily my first choicennUpdate Went back twice since I was in town again Had some trouble with the serviceduring lunch the line was huge and during dinner it was so packed that they were too busy to take my order I ended up going somewhere else Hopefully that is not a trend butnnI should also comment on the chicken teriyaki It really was not any good Try ordering something else
