9.7/10 Definitely the best sushi in Salinas I've had so far!…read more I really enjoyed my experience here. I started with the sashimi dinner, which was absolutely amazing no complaints at all. The cuts were generous and incredibly fresh. The Tekka Maki rolls were rolled perfectly, with a great bite and, again, very fresh. We were also treated to dessert and chose the fried green tea ice cream. It was definitely firm, which makes sense since it was fried, but fried green tea ice cream. It was definitely firm, which makes sense since it was fried, but the contrast worked well. Sweet and savory with the crispy exterior overall, really good. Service was fast and efficient, with a very attentive server. The ambiance was clean, nice, and relaxed. It wasn't very busy, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

It's been a few years since I've been to Kokoro but today I had a craving. I called my order in…read morebecause I get a very short window to run out and grab food. When I spoke to the person who took my order she was having a hard time hearing me and she said their phone is like that sometimes. I eventually got to a point where she said she could hear me. I ordered Some sunomono with crab and I asked for a "Kokoro Sashimi" with the "Salmon Sashimi" which I included what that is in the photos with this review. The young lady immediately asked me which type of Ca roll I'd like with it. I said it doesn't come with a Ca roll it comes with rice,salad and soup. Very insistently the young lady said we don't have a "Kokoro Sashimi" only a "combo" I said I'm looking at it right now on your website and it says you do have what I'm asking for. After a few minutes of back and forth and being put on hold she comes back with yes they do have that. I said Great!! With salmon please. She the. Said literally right after I said that "What kind of Sashimi did you want? I said SAlMON" please. She the repeated my order as "Tuna" sashimi and Again I corrected her and said SALMON please not Tuna I do not like Tuna. She said oh okay. She asked if wanted anything else I said no thank you and she again... says That was "Tuna?? Right??" ‍‍ I said no I would like Salmon!! I ran down to the restaurant from SVMH and grabbed my bag and paid for my meal I even tipped better than usual because it was ready fast. I stupidly didn't look in the tied off bag I was in a hurry. I get back the hospital to sit down and eat and..wait for it... it's TUNA!! I was upset but I politely called the restaurant and they told me that the clerk had double verified that I ordered "Tuna" I said well I should have checked my bad while I was there because I know I ordered Salmon and said it more than 3 times. I NEVER order tuna. She said well it wouldn't have mattered because you ordered Tuna so we wouldn't have given you a free Sashimi anyway. I told them I just spent $42 bucks for 9 pieces of tuna salad and cucumber salad on the side. I didn't even get my soup and I'm not asking for free food just what I ordered. Bottom line I won't be back they said next time remind them what happened they'll ad some soup or an extra salad. This was not a good experience especially since I don't normally treat myself to such an expensive lunch. Too bad Kokoro I have brought you tons of business over the years between friends, family gatherings etc.. I won't be back! FYI I didn't order online because I wanted double salad no rice and they option wasn't there online.

Therefore, of course, I had to try it. ***DO NOT USE APPLE MAPS. USE GOOGLE MAPS!! Using Apple Maps resulted in me circling the area TWICE until I used Google Maps.*** FOOD: omg their meals are so reasonably priced especially their omakase. I don't think I've ever met a $30 omakase. The sushi rice was nicely blended. Strange how there wasn't wasabi instantly included in the nigiri. Fake wasabi provided on the side. Yellow ginger. Nice cuts of fish. Tonkatsu very dry. Completely disliked how the sauce was automatically included on top... I wished it was given on the side. Wished there was a lemon slice provided as well. Miso soup was not good at all. Salad dressing was very appetizing. SERVICE: Simple and straightforward. No trouble given. VIBEZ: Typical modern Japanese decor with the added touch of figures. Casual. Great for large groups. Located in downtown Salinas. Parking scattered but free 90 minutes parking (8am to 4pm). Would I come back? Yes! I'm excited to try their other offerings, particularly their rolls.

The bathroom was also pretty dirty, and the atmosphere felt chaotic with kids running around. As soon as we walked in kids were at our table.

Mmmmmeh, it's alright, but needs some flavor. I had chow main with vegetables and chicken teriyaki…read more Sounds yummy right? But in all honestly it's lacking taste. I do think that the portions are very generous. Definitely enough for 2 people to share. Customer service was not good. The young girl at the register with the horribly drawn on eyeliner rolled her eyes (probably frustrated with me since I didn't know exactly what was what from the menu.) She looked very unhappy to be honest. I will complement the cooks for their quickness. My food was ready in minutes. I may come back. BUT hopefully a different experience and better taste next time.

It was mall food, so I had lower expectations. However I was still disappointed…read more It was fast and convenient. It was hot. The price was right. Sarku had the longest line of customers, which was honestly what gave me the vote of confidence to try it, but once I started eating, I realized that must have been because it was located in a prime location of the food court! For example, the salad was pulled straight out of a newly-opened plastic bag. It was some kind of spring mix. There was no washing, no tossing, and no dressing. It was just a handful of dry leaves placed on my paper tray. That wouldn't have been too terrible if everything else had flavor, but alas, that wasn't the case. We had to go back to the counter in search for packets of sauce...any sauce. The "teriyaki chicken" was "just chicken". There was minimal teriyaki flavor and pretty dry. The rice was cooked well though, so that was good. The dumplings were crispy and dry. In any case, my daughter and I were hungry and still ate most of it. Our favorite items were drinks from a juice cart down the hall though. Sorry, Sarku!
