Cocoro is back!
Luckily, the 2020 virus came at the same time as we were undergoing a huge, landlord-requested remodeling of the front half the restaurant. So, we managed to survive its “business lethality” and can, once again, bring you Chicago’s most authentic Japanese recipes (and kitchen staff)!
We look forward to bringing you another 23 years of reasonably priced “not fusion” Japanese food in our casual, yet comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you, Chicago and beyond, for supporting us for all this time and throughout everything! We love you!!
