Kokoro Ramen is just wha the name implies: the menu consists mostly of ramen options, and a few other items. I liked that they had numerous options for ramen. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is pleasant and causal. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen. It was very good. The only thing I would prefer is for the noodles to be a little more firm. They weren't mushy or anything, just a little bit more well done than I like. It was still delicious. My favorite part was that when I asked about spicy options, they brought me four containers. I chose "nuclear chili". Whew! A little goes a long way. I loved it. I also ordered green tea, which was served in a nice teapot. I would definitely go back.

Vegetarian reviewer: Tried this Ramen place while on a vacation. It was a quick sit and dine for us, we liked the ambience, right in downtown beside a funky club. It was quiet and cozy - service was okay, we didn't have to wait too long for our food. The veggie broth was creamy - I guess it had a lot of cashew in it, it tasted okay, didn't taste too sweet. I had to ask and add a tonne of garlic chilli (tip: skip the oil, it isn't needed). They did not give us any chilli powder or ask for spice levels. Also, we added an extra egg in it. I pretty much think it was vegan, not sure. I think it was a decent Ramen for about $24 including tips.

We had a great lunch here. The ingredients tasted fresh, the service was friendly and we will definitely be back when visiting.

Really good tasting ramen. I have made a few trips down to this restaurant because I have enjoyed trying different items here.

I came with my partner on a weekend afternoon for lunch. We were seated immediately. The interior is quite small, but well decorated. The server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Takoyaki to share, tonkatsu ramen (I got mine without green onion since I noticed how large the pieces were), and then Ube cheesecake for dessert. The Takoyaki was very good - there were large pieces of octopus inside. The tonkatsu ramen was also quite good - I wish the broth had been a little more flavorful, and that the pork belly slices were a little less overcooked, but I appreciated the large serving of noodles we got and the egg was well cooked. The Ube cheesecake was my favorite dish - it was perfectly sweet especially when eaten with the cream! Overall, we had a great experience. I'll definitely be back for the Ube cheesecake!

Top tier ramen! I've tried ramen in the Bay Area and in Boston and this is some of the best. So flavorful and in a cozy environment. Food came out fast and was such a nice atmosphere. Will definitely be returning. The waitress was also super nice.

Great fast delicious service. Quality ramen. Great eggs and pork broth. Great portion as well.

I was recommend this restaurant by an air bnb host and I'm so glad I tried it! I got the tonkotsu ramen and it was so delicious. The broth had tons of flavor, the soft boiled eggs were boiled perfectly and the braised pork belly melted in your mouth. We ordered very quickly after we sat down and our food came out relatively quickly too. I would absolutely come back here again!

Food was super delicious! Great customer service, such a cute spot! Will be going again.

Been here a few times alone. The Chukaramen is really good especially considering the weather lately. Very fresh and the vegetables are crisp. So good. The tonkontsu ramen is really good and salty, the eggs were soft and jammy, I only wish we got more pork. The waitstaff are quick and caring even during the busy time. I appreciate their attention and never feel forgotten, tho it is a small space, hard to lose someone in there!

Meagan M.

Service was fast and polite. Food was delicious. I ordered chicken karaage, tonkotsu (minus the pickled ginger), and shared the yuzu cheesecake with my friend. My friend ordered the shoyu ramen, which she finished and said is very tasty! The eggs are nicely marinated and flavorful. The tonkotsu is rich in flavor, so I knew I wouldn't finish it, but I took the rest to go. The portions feel pretty good for the quality and price. They were pretty busy, but my friend and I got in just in time before a wait list started. Staff were polite, friendly, and attentive. I've had plenty of ramen from the bay area and this is worth the visit if you're in the area. The yuzu cheesecake was delightful with well-balanced flavors. Parking wise I would say just find a place to park within a block or so rather than trying for the parking spaces in front of the restaurant.

I came back on a Saturday around 830 pm. I got seated right away. I ordered the chicken ramen and some gyoza. There was plenty of staff this time. We got our food quickly and everything came out great. I'm so glad I came back and gave them a second chance. The atmosphere is cozy and nice. If you're looking for ramen, come check them out.

Chicken Paitan (back) Tonkotsu ramen (front) both ordered to be spicy!

Max C.

Amazing ramen for anywhere! All the workers were really kind and attentive! Vibes were cute and cozy. It can be hard to find actually spicy food in Humboldt but they did not disappoint when we ordered our ramen spicy! They even gave us some extra cayenne pepper in case we wanted to add more (and we did but it was already pretty hot). Will definitely be back!

Thank you for being here. We're on our way in from the Bay Area and this is the best option for Asian food. Unfortunately we couldn't dine in having our dog on the trip with us but the service was great for our phone in order. They also made us a kids chopstick set and gave us a side of their ghost pepper chili powder. It was spicy and a nice touch. The hubs even got to buy from their selection of sake & beer. Better than the local liquor store. read more

Had lunch here with my parents and it was so delicious. A good price for what you get. The signature ramen was rich and creamy and the shoyu ramen had a flavor I never had before. The takoyaki came out so quickly and was a little raw but overall yummy bites. The host was very kind and responsive. Great place to go sit and relax. read more

The service was okay. The waitress was as helpful as she could be, and the waiter was doing a good job as well. The food was subpar at best. The ramen broth had no/0 depth of flavor. No umami whatsoever. It was super bland, and it tasted like our broth was put into bowls that weren't rinsed correctly. It was like ramen broth was mixed with dishwater. The moment we walked in my girlfriend said it smelled bad, they didn't properly advertise their beer options, and their ramen was very over priced and underwhelming to say the least. read more

We were so lucky they were still serving food when we got there at 9 pm! The broth was amazing and the decor is simple and the service is fast. Not much more you could ask for. It's in a plaza where I can see parking get limited if it's busy on the weekend. They mentioned it was open a month ago. There are no draft beers, and they had asahi bottles. We all got the tonkotsu one, but they had about 5 other options. There is live music next door at the bars. We can't wait to come back! read more

Some pretty tasty ramen here for sure! I prefer subbing for the spinach ramen noodles instead of their regular ones. Be careful for the chili pepper powder they bring to the table upon request to spice up your ramen. It is ghost pepper powder and it will push you to the limit. Giving Kokoro 5 stars instead of 4 because though it's not the best ramen I've had, it's quite good and they get an extra point for being open till midnight and because their Takoyaki is awesome! read more

This is the perfect hole in the wall with excellent service and food I always try to find while on vacation. Ordered the Karaage, and gyoza for appetizers. The karaage was 6 large pieces of battered fried chicken thighs. The gyoza that I ordered potsticker style needed more color, but tasted ok. Tonkotsu ramen was delicious but I wanted a more fatty flavor. My wife ordered the Chicken Paitan and I preferred the more well developed flavor more.

I appreciate our waitress getting our drinks and food out to us through the chaos of people being seated outside, then being reseated inside when room opened up, or like one table, just leaving! Their plum sake is very good, smooth and light. I also got a hot tea but that was only hot for a moment out there, the sake definitely did more to keep us warm. Their ramen bowls are now my favorite in downtown, the pork is DELICIOUS, the broth could be a drink on its own and the marinated egg has a perfectly soft yolk; it's a very pretty dish. My favorite sushi is split between the Russian roulette and the ocean queen (I think that's its name).

I don't normally write reviews but this restaurant failed me in several ways…read more Food: tough, almost inedible calamari. I left with the worst heartburn and likely due to whatever they fried it in. Golden salmon "specialty" roll. Meh. I've had a lot better at the other locally sushi places. Service: horrible. The place was 30 per cent full. It's Humboldt so I don't expect service to be quick. But the attitude of the wait person was abominable. I felt like we were wasting their time. Like they had somewhere else to be. Mind you this was 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. We saw them once again when they slapped down the check. Then they came to get it a few minutes later and we felt hurried out the door. The bus person was seen whisking food and debris off the tables instead of wiping them down. Several tables. The waiter's attitude was hurried, impatient, and not even a "how is your meal". Ambience: it was nice to be out on the deck. Otherwise nothing special. The host podium is crowded with stuff around it. It looks like they are storing things in the entrance. After hearing so much about how nice and it was, I was disappointed. I'd eat somewhere else and ride the elevator up to walk around the non-restaurant part of the rooftop to see the view. Honestly.

The food was fantastic. None too oily, nor too saturated with complex flavor profiles. A consistent experience throughout; however, this place shines when it comes to an unexpected item. Their coffee. I walked in once and ordered just a coffee. No sifting through a tiny menu booklet, peering over ridiculous coffee names, and no micromanaging ingredients. I simply requested a coffee and they gave me what is the greatest cup of joe in my entire life. It reminds one of espresso, a kind of dark roasted and chocolate-y flavor, but it is palatable and pleasant. No bitterness at all, but it doesn't sacrifice its richness in getting rid of the bitterness. If nothing else, go to this place for their coffee! Purely and simply a divine brew.

No issues with the spiciness, but the overall flavor was kind of flat. It was salty and there was basil, but no sweetness whatsoever. I wasn't expecting anything super sweet, but a tiny bit of sweetness makes the overall flavors pop, and this didn't have a hint of it. Rice is extra. Not super expensive, but still it seems kind of stingy to have to purchase rice on the side when you're dropping about $20 on the item, especially for folks who are dining in. I may update if I try anything else, but I'm not in any rush.

Our server was very pleasant and let us know the special of the day, a halibut dish with a creamy pepper sauce. Debating between that and another dish, we asked her recommendation and she suggested the fish. So we did it. My wife and I traditionally split meals at restaurants, because they generally give you so much food, you leave uncomfortably stuffed. We prefer leaving comfortably satisfied. So we split the Arugula Salad. They bring complementary bread with a garlic butter or basalmic and olive oil. We preferred the basalmic. The garlic butter wasn't very garlicky. But the salad was excellent. They split it for us for a small upcharge. The Halibut was excellent. We had to split it ourselves, but that was not a problem for us. It was served over couscous and was excellent. A bit small to split, so we added a cheesecake dessert with ganache. Very good. We paired it all with a Cabernet from the Oakville area of Napa (where we had just visited) and it was excellent as well. Our server was attentive. The pacing of our meal was very well done. Not too long between check-ins, but also not rushed. We recommend!

For my birthday this year, I wanted to have a trip up to the redwoods and we stayed in Eureka as…read moreour base. I found this restauraunt on Yelp and we reserved it for my birthday dinner on a Saturday night. We sat by the window and had a beautiful view of the sunset and bay. Upon being seated we were served some bread with some whipped butter mixed with some sort of seafood I believed? I forgot, but the butter was delicious. Our first round of bread however, was average at best and was very dense and doughy. The next rounds of bread were significantly better though, so maybe there's an inconsistency with the way they bake their bread in-house. I ordered the seafood penne pasta and my boyfriend ordered the king salmon with risotto. Both were "specials" and were not on the menu. However after digging into reviews here, it seems they are not so much specials since both dishes have been served here for the past 7ish years. Seafood penne pasta: I would rate a 3/5, maybe a 2.5/5. The pasta itself was not al dente which was disappointing. The "star" of this dish was supposed to be the scallop, which was severely undercooked! It was super soft and mushy. The shrimp was alright...some were overcooked. The salmon was also dry. I think the only thing I really enjoyed was the mussels, clams, and the sauce. The sauce had some curry with a small kick to it. This dish was just okay. Escargot: We ordered as our appetizer, I'd give it a 3.5/5! The escargot was a little soft but paired wonderfully with the bread. Creme brûlée: 3/5. Our waitress kindly put a birthday candle on it for my birthday. :) I enjoyed it, and it was very custardy! The downside was that the sugar on top was too burnt. I can't speak much for my boyfriend's dish, I did have a bite of his salmon and it was alright, maybe a bit too salty. The service however was wonderful and our waitress was super kind and helpful. Maybe I would come back to try another dish if I'm back in the area.

He's always said good things, but I've never eaten here. I finally decided to come in today. It's a nice place. It's clean, and everybody is friendly. Just a nice simple neighborhood restaurant vibe.

Instead of potatoes, I got a nice cup of fruit. The omelette was big, and it was delicious. Lots of fillings, the beef was well seasoned, and the other taco fillings just went well with each other. The sour cream was good, the salsa was not spicy, it had a little bit of a smoky flavor, and the guac was excellent. It had a good flavor, it was more than just mashed up avocado. The coffee was also good, and they kept my cup full. The price was very reasonable, and they do a military/veterans discount. I'm glad I finally stopped in here. I will be back. Thank you.

I'm still all about the chile relleno burrito so the last time we went I ordered one with carne asada and it was literally the burrito of my dreams. This time when we went inside I noticed a hand written sign above the cash register that said "The Raliberto" which was basically my chile relleno burrito plus carne asada, so I ordered it. I cut it in half, took a picture this time and noticed it wasn't the same, it had cheddar cheese instead of that delicious white cheese the relleno comes with, and I don't think the poblano was battered and fried, it was just a plain pepper that was stuffed with cheese- it was still very tasty just not the burrito of my dreams. I'm thinking since it was a special, they may have run out of the regular rellenos or perhaps they were cutting costs but next time I'll just stick with the regular chile relleno burrito. We also picked up an order of their other special, carne asada rolled tacos, which definitely don't need the added carne asada because guacamole is all them tasty suckers need but we snarfed it all down. I don't know when we'll be driving through again but this is a really solid spot that I'll always think of fondly.
