Ordered party platters from here for a dinner party and everything was delicious and fresh! Everyone enjoyed the food and the appetizers! Service was easy - they were helpful in picking out what was needed for our guests and the ambiance of the restaurant looked really cute read more

Located in the plaza with Stop and Shop, Sushi Cocoro is a good stop to get food before getting groceries! From the outside, the windows are blacked out for privacy and ambiance; don't let it fool you into thinking they're not open! The Asian couple who served us were super sweet; constantly checking up on us to see if we're doing all right! I had a party of two, so we ordered the sushi for two and a yakisoba! The sushi was really good; it came with 18 pieces of sushi and 2 specialty rolls. By the end of the meal, we were absolutely stuffed. The sushi was made well and the slices were at room temperature. 10/10 would recommend as a sushi spot for families as well as romantic dates! read more

place is good food is delicious staff are nice and always polite good spot to eat with friends would recommend

I really enjoyed our visit here. The place is not fancy, it is a typical local old school sushi joint. If you want a "scene" this isn't for you. It was not crazy busy but they do a ton of take out. We really enjoyed the mango crunch salad. It had really tasty fresh mango. The Christmas roll was really good. We also liked the valentine roll. The nature wasn't worth the money it was slightly mushy. The service was decent. Not really friendly but they were efficient and got everything correct. Definitely worth a visit read more

Came on a whim after visiting the jewelers in the plaza. It was after 8:30pm so it was not very busy. The amount of special rolls is a little overwhelming in a good way. We wanted a lot of things on the menu and the server came over and said let me get your order before you forget. Anyway we usually we order more than 2 rolls per person but with all of the complimentary items they give you, that would have been excessive. We ordered 4 rolls for the 2 of us and we struggled to finish. We got 2 rolls with mango - dynamite mango which is spicy tuna and mango with crab on top. This one was our favorite, it did sort of fall apart but it was delicious. The spicy mayo is actually spicy here. The other mango roll was twice the girth of a normal roll and it was filled with mango, shrimp tempura, cucumber and avocado. The mango was perfectly ripe and sweet. The scallop roll was also a winner which was spicy tuna topped with chopped scallop and kani with spicy mayo. Lobster roll was pretty good and you didnt struggle to find the lobster meat. This was also a jumbo roll. On top of all that, we were given complimentary veggie pancake, hot miso soup and at the end cookies and cream ice cream. We ended up having about a half roll left to take home. The leftovers held up and were eaten the next day. I would definitely come back and try more rolls. The service was great and the water glasses were huge - didn't even need a refill! read more

Very tasty. Cute inside for a small place, works for a low key date night for sure. Good service, everyone is very friendly. Easy to pop in and order quick take away. Can't beat the giant parking lot, always easy to find a spot. Good prices, great for catering platters too! read more

I used to work in Franklin Lakes and this was one of our go-to places for lunch. Service is quick, staffs are nice and friendly. Most importantly, food tastes great. I had many different types of sushi here and all were so good. I must mention that their mochi and ice cream are very good too. If you're around the area, I recommend coming to this place. They also run lunch specials Mon-Sat till 3pm. Giving them five stars because visiting here for years but did not find a single small fault. read more

Always consistent and good. Owners are very friendly and keep the place spotless. Service is good as well. Small but appealing.

This place will forever hold a place in my heart as my friends and I used to go to this place together back in high school and it was hands down, our favorite. The food also never disappoints! read more

Fabulous meal tonight as always! We tried the spicy gyoza for the first time and I highly recommend. Shumai soup was delicious. All of the sushi rolls were beautifully prepared and so tasty. I was impressed that the pens used to sign the receipts were sanitized after use. Thank you Cocoro! read more

I have been coming here for years. They were consistently good until last year when I had almost frozen sashimi a few times. Today was my first day back since we were in the area and wanted to eat. The restaurant itself is really nice and cozy. There is a sushi bar area and then a bunch of tables. It's a decent size, not too big and not too small. I usually get the sashimi meal or sashimi bento box which has less raw fish but you get rice and 2 sides. I usually get the spicy tuna sushi as both sides, it has a nice little kick to it. Today the sashimi was not bad. We also got a few rolls and a teriyaki chicken bento box. Everything is not bad. The staff members are always friendly and the free ice cream at the end is always nice. The price is very reasonable as well. They have plenty of parking since it shares the lot with a bunch of other stores including a stop and shop. Overall not a bad meal. read more

We don't know what happened to this place. We used to order takeout and go once in awhile to eat in the restaurant. The sushi was always pretty good, and they had a crazy spicy tuna crunch roll. Tonight, everything was terrible. The sushi was way to wide. It should be a one bite thing. Each cut piece was the size of a jar lid. When I asked how I was supposed to eat the Boston roll, which had everything in it besides the usual ingredients, the waitress brought me a knife and fork. Seriously. Nothing was good. The don buri had no sauce. The rolls were large and fell apart because they weren't rolled properly. They never refilled or waters or asked if we wanted another soda. Just really bad. It's sad, because we liked this place and would drive 25 minutes to eat here. Guess we will just stick with Sushi Bada. read more

I've been coming here for at least 15 years! Best spicy tuna crunch roll you will find ANYWHERE. Fast, efficient service with a smile. Delicious food & rolls, always. For sit down or takeout, you can't go wrong. And you won't find better sushi in the area. read more

Great quality fish. Good pick up service. One of the few local sushi places that is open Monday night.

The best sushi restaurant in the area. Very friendly staff, high quality ingredients, and the Special Hero roll in particular is fantastic. It is also very exciting that they are now on Uber Eats; however, they need to put their special rolls up on the app for selection. read more

Came here for lunch and while the place is normally packed, we went at noon when Barack Obama was delivering his Inaguration speech. Suffice to say we were able to get the full attention of the entire staff. Lots of items on the menu from cold and hot appetizers to regular and speciality sushi rolls, tempura, yaki soba, udon, teriyaki, donburi, and party platters will satisfy whatever Japanese craving you might have at the time. Our group of 3 decided to order 3 regular rolls averaging ~5 and the specialty rolls ~$12-$14. The regular rolls are good, but the specialty rolls are outstanding. Our group enjoyed the dynamite roll (inside spicy crab w/crunch) spicy tuna, crunch, scallion on top w/spicy sauce and the hot flower roll (inside shrimp tempura, avocado) tuna, salmon, spicy sauce & scallion on top the most. The hot green tea is very good especially with the spicy rolls we ordered. Will definitely recommend this place for others to try. read more

I was actually pretty disappointed by the quality of this place. I heard some decent things about the sushi here and was happy to try another Japanese restaurant in the area. Unfortunately, my experience here was not the best. I came with some friends and we ordered the chicken katsu, pork katsu, and the tuna don. The chicken and pork were low quality and did not taste well. The worst part about the dish was the katsu sauce. It was too acidic and did not have a good ratio that you would expect from a katsu sauce. I ordered the tuna don and was very underwhelmed. The tuna was bright and had a fishy taste to it that made it obvious that it was low quality. The rice for the tuna don was seasoned well but you can still taste the fishy flavor of the tuna on the rice. Sadly even the miso soup was way too salty. Although, we were served ice cream with our meal which was nice. Overall, the experience was subpar due to low quality meats and fish. I recommend going to other Japanese restaurants nearby. read more

We've been going to this place for years and it was great but recently the quality of sushi/sashimi has really changed, even the presentation is not appealing anymore . read more

My family and I completely LOVE this place, and anyone we have brought there (including from overseas) has been very impressed with how fresh and delicious the sushi is. The place is really cute and clean, the family who owns it and employees are very nice and very good hosts! Lunch is fantastic, great value for their specials, and all of their food overall is absolutely delicious. I have been to every "name" sushi place around, and this is still my fave. Have been bringing my kids here since infancy, they also love the food! read more

In my opinion, this is one of the best sushi restaurants in Bergen County. Everything is super fresh, and their rolls are really creative and tasty. Moreover, especially during covid times, I think you have to support business owners who are just doing their best to survive. We have been here many times - pre and post covid - and the owners are just the sweetest people. They often offer freebies to my kids and remember our faces. read more

Love this place! Sushi is always tastes fresh and delicious! The family who runs the restaurant are so courteous and nice. I live 20 minutes away and still drive back to pick up my food from here. read more

I have been going to Cocoro for years, and have eaten at a multitude of Japanese restaurants, and it is still one of the best sushi places I have ever been to. I have yet to find a spicy tuna roll as delicious as the one served at Cocoro, and their other rolls are definitely something to brag about as well. Every roll I have ever tried has been delicious. Their lunchtime lunch boxes are also an amazing deal, and equally as excellent. read more

Nice interior, chairs very uncomfortable though. The menu a slight eyesore.. small print, too many words...though they do give you a picture book with already made sushi so your mouth can water while lookin at it and then order the $13.95 Japanese Scallop Volcano Roll... I base a sushi place off of their spicy tuna. and These guys are pretty alright! And free ice cream after your sushi meal! A big smooth from me to you. read more

Updating this review because i am beyond impressed with how much their service has improved. Every time I place an order, it is ready by the time promised. The place itself is very clean and taking all necessary COVID precautions. Could not recommend this place enough. read more

Cocoro has been around for forever, and I assume they have a loyal customer base...but now that there's 4 places in Franklin Lakes that serve sushi...I'd rather eat at any of the others. Cocoro is mediocre sushi at best. It's not terrible, but it's also not amazing either. I've tried it probably once a year for the last 3 or 4 years and it just never wows me. read more

Food was delish, service was perfect, staff, was friendly, and my group of friends and I got free homemade ice cream. I will definetly be returning to Cocoro for sushi and to get good food with friends. read more

So I'm a New Yorker and we know good sushi so when my New Jersey resident boyfriend wanted to go for sushi I said well fine. But from the miso soup to the sushi..... well god darn it I have to give this place credit and my boyfriend. The waitress are hard working and attentive and well the food was great. Volcano scallop roll was outstanding, mango dynamite was sweet and tangy and the red spider roll was the best I ever had. It's byob and for a New Yorker that's the most amazing concept. Kudos to you Cocoro read more

Surprisingly great little Japanese place in the strip mall. My five star rating is based on other Japanese places in New Jersey (you can't compare places in small towns to NYC) and the overall atmosphere. The raw fish was very fresh. And they did not try to fill you up with adding too much rice to the rolls. The staff was very friendly and family friendly too. The miso soup was authentic. The tempura is a bit heavier than others but still crispy and good. The place was also very clean. I would come here again read more

This is a great restaurant with great selections of mango sushi. Best lunch specials in the area and the staff is genuinely nice.

This is the best sushi place I have been to to date and I have been to them all over the country. I sat at the bar once and watched the chef pulling imperfections out a piece of Salmon with tweezers. Unbelievably fresh and the service is great. I HIGHLY recommend going read more
