Cocoro Bistro Sushi Bar

We drove pretty far across town to eat here because of the reviews and because they were open late. We ate inside the restaurant. The atmosphere was okay but extremely loud! We shared a few appetizers. The karage chicken was okay, but needed a sauce. We were charged $2 for aioli, which tasted bad. We didn't eat it. We also tried the spicy mayo $1 which was much better. The mixed tempura were average. The fried pork belly had more Brussel sprouts than pork. We had high hopes for it, but it was our least favorite dish. I would skip it. The winner of the night were the spicy chicken wings. They were amazing! Nice and hot and the skin was crispy even with sauce on it. I would go back just for the wings. In hindsight, we should have ordered some sushi. I personally would not come back because there are plenty of other restaurants to try. But if you go to Cocoro, definitely try the wings!!

This place’s sushi is top-notch, Easily in my top five. The people here are super nice, and the atmosphere was really good. The service was amazing, having a waiter at your table constantly. Even during a good rush, we still got our food fairly quickly. The rolls were fairly big, and they filled us up. I would recommend this to anyone 👍

Very good quality food, it's an impressive feat to be this consistent over a long period of time. Great customer service and wonderfule restaurant ambiance. But it comes a price for sure, I've always come prepared to spend at the upper limits of what I'm willing to pay for sushi. Servings are very large for the price but it's refined, really well executed food. Overall, 4 stars.

We love this Japanese restaurant in Pacific Avenue. Good food and friendly service. Must try if you haven’t yet.

Talk about a variety of beautifully plated perfectly made food. Beef wrapped asparagus..simple and delicious. We kept the menu through out ordering as we went along. Our server was pleasant and helpful. A must try in Stockton. 8/7/23 I’ve been back more than a handful of times over the years. Order something new every time, Always pleasantly pleased. 2024 So… they’ve add a Chicken Katsu sando to the menu. Scrumptious. You have to try it!! 6/10/2025 Celebrating my Daughter in law’s birthday on a Tuesday night. Party of 15. We love CoCo❤️ro so we had planned what we each wanted to order. To our surprise they did not have the dish. Yes 3 of us were going to all order the same thing.. Beef wrapped Asparagus. 😉 Waiter apologized, was patient and helpful throughout the dinner. We ordered salad, wings, soft shell crab, two types of ramen, teriyaki steak, potstickers, sashimi, the spicy red dragon, the oh wow, and four other types of sushi. Flavors are phenomenal. We were all passing our food around sharing laughing having a good time. I love that a restaurant can bring people together to celebrate and have a good time.

This was a go to place, service had gotten worse. Food isn’t as good as years ago. Most of the staff is friendly there’s one person in particular who always seems like he’s not happy being there. Their added seating in the other room is dark, the decor is horrible not to mention you seat there for a good 15-20 minutes for anyone to come over and take your drink orders. Food is not always fresh, too dry especially the chicken and beef dishes. The wait time has gotten worse.

The food was quite nice, very dim and nice atmosphere. Great Service with nice servers. Their portions were very big for the price, I’d definitely go again.
