I ordered the Shio Ramen! It was very good and rich creamy broth. I also tried the Veggie Ramen and that broth was very refreshing. I tried the Niku Ramen as well and it was good. The food was delicious and the service was great. It is a smaller restaurant, so there was not as much seating. You may have to wait, but it is definitely worth it! Definitely will be back! read more

My friend & I went here on a Sunday a few minutes after 11am and we were seated right away. I got the tonkotsku ramen & my friend got the shoyu ramen & chicken karrage. The tonkotsku ramen broth was sooo good! The service was great too. The restaurant is small & intimate. There's a parking lot outside. By the time we left the restaurant, there was a line/waitlist, so I'm glad we went at the time we did. read more

I first came here in the middle of the pandemic when they were only seating guests in front of the parking lot, so yesterday was my first time in the actually restaurant and it has such a cute authentic aesthetic. Everything the fiancé and I ordered were so good! But I think if we were to come back again we'd probably share 1 ramen and still order the 2 appetizers. The black garlic pork ramen was our favorite out of the 2 ramens we bought (the other was the niku ramen). The broth was just so flavorful. And it was a great pairing after taking a bite of the karrage. Plus the karrage was just so juicy and yummy. FYI if you want your ramen just a little bit more spicy, you can add more spice for $.50 more. Would definitely recommend this spot for anyone with a ramen craving. read more

I was craving some ramen and came here for the first time on a Saturday night. The restaurant is small and was almost full when we arrived, but we were able to grab a shared table right away (there is a tabletop divider to separate the parties). For the ramen, there's 3 different types of noodles to order from (with one costing extra). Increasing the spice level also has an extra charge. I ordered the tonkatsu ramen, with original size noodles and normal spice level. The wait was fine, not long or short. I really liked the soup, it was so rich and yummy. They also give you plenty of toppings as well. The only thing I didn't really like was the meat. It was a little tough and dry, and not delicious. This was a bit disappointing since the meat is usually the best part of ramen for me, besides the soup. I'd come back and try a vegetarian option. Note this restaurant is located in a popular shopping center so the parking lot is very full, but we were able to find a spot. read more

I started my review when this place first opened but I never finished it so here I am with a fresh start...before covid, this place was always packed and long lines for days. After covid and inflation, less people are eating out now and we can finally get seated now lol. Although the lines aren't as crowded like they used to be, you will find this place packed at peak hours! It's a very small restaurant with limited seatings. The food is amazing. I find myself full after appetizers so now I only get the soup so I can truly enjoy the entire bowl of ramen. If you're with a big party, getting appetizers shouldn't be a problem. The bowls are big and fulfilling. I always get the black garlic. I'm dying to try the other bowls though but every time I'm here I find myself getting the black garlic time and time again. We love this place. They are kid friendly. The food is delish. The bathroom is clean. Staff is nice. We are regulars and you will be too! read more

The staff are very friendly. Their tonkatsu broth is really good, the curry ramen comes spicy and it is a but spicy for my taste. Their chicken karrage and rice bowls are our personal favorites. We always get the chicken karrage as the side. read more

Kokoro seems like one of those hole in the wall place with limited cramped seating and a specialized menu for ramen. However, the black garlic ramen I ordered left much to be desired. The broth was a bit bland but worse thing about this was the noodles. I ordered thin noodles - they legit look and taste like instant ramen noodles. Here's how I'd rate this place: Broth: 2/5 Noodles: 1/5 Tamago: 4/5 (this was the best thing out of the bowl) Other toppings: 3/5 I'd give service some high marks since it was quite efficient and quick even though there was just one person working in the front. read more

amazing ramen spot in the area, i highly recommend if you ever get the chance to try. the inside is super small and can get packed so there might be a long wait to be seated, but I often order to go. i order for my whole family and it takes around 15 minutes which i find very reasonable. the workers are very kind and all the flavors for the broth are really yummy. the interior is cute but just small, but if you ever get the chance to sit inside it's really nice. i love and have high expectations when it comes to ramen and i always enjoy eating the food here! read more

If you are a vegetarian, I do not recommend this place for you. It's a very small place, nothing much to say about the ambience and I thought the food will compansate for it. Buti was very much disappointed. There was only one vegetarian item on the menu and turns out that is truly not vegetarian since there is fish powder in it. Then why would they mark it as vegetarian in the menu? Ridiculous. I still went ahead and tried as I am not a strict vegetarian like my other friends who were there with me and I didn't like the taste or smell of the broth. The other ingredients in it were decent though. read more

Most people hate being hung over, but i think being hung over is the perfect excuse to indulge in a hefty meal ,"for recovery". When be hung over food seems to taste 10x better especially if it's a warm and hearty soup like ramen. This was my first time eating from Kokoro Ramen in which we decided to order in our food. Online ordering was made easy, and there's a small variety of carefully crafted delicious appetizers, broths, noodles, and drinks to choose from. I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen and the delivery didn't take long. To arrive. Initially i thought the soup and noodles were not separated in the containers we received. Come to my surprise that the soup and noodles were kept separate which made my day even better now knowing that i wouldn't have to be eating soggy ramen noodles. The tonkatsu broth was so rich, creamy, and delightful that i had to stop myself from drinking it all up. I ordered the thin noodles which i enjoyed as they had a nice bounce my texture that did a great job of carrying the fatty notes of the broth. While looking at the picture below, you'll see a jammy marinated egg a long with char siu which looks beyond perfect. Unfortunately, i wasn't a fan of the char siu as it was more meaty than i had anticipated. I expected a smooth, tender, fatty piece of char siu. I ended up getting rid of the char siu from my bowl because i found it that unenjoyable chewing on this tuff cut of pork. The egg marinate wasn't anything special, but gave a slight aroma of garlic and soy sauce. Overall i enjoyed my hangover meal and would be open to trying this place again despite the unsatisfactory char siu. read more

Service was amazing, the establishment was cute, good music, and the food was so and so. I came on a Saturday late afternoon with my friend and was happy the place was not busy. We got seated right away and were served waters. My friend got the miso ramen and I got the shio ramen. After getting out ramen the noodles was decent, yes I got the regular thick noodles but it was honestly a tad bit stiff as if the noodles needed to be cooked a little longer. The soup tasted extremely salty. Even though I had ordered the salt flavored ramen it shouldn't had that extreme taste of ramen. The pork slices was decent. Don't know if I would came back to this establishment. The food was decent but the service was amazing! read more

Came here on Saturday at noon and there were still plenty of parking. The restaurant is pretty small inside and can only seat 30 people max but they also have outdoor seating. Ramen was very delicious and fulfilling. Thank goodness I read the reviews on the spicy level and to get it on the side. You can add the paste and adjust as you go because it is definitely very spicy even for those who loves to eat spice. We got the tonkatsu and niku and both were very delicious. Good portion of noodles and toppings. The servers would come by and check once in a while to make sure everything's good. Definitely will be back! read more

A good place in Milpitas to get ramen. The parking can get quite full on certain days. It is also a small place which probably can host max 30 people at a time and I believe there are 8 tables. Service was laid back and attentive. I got the black garlic pork ramen with spicy added to it. I enjoyed my broth; it had a good amount of oil in it and the spiciness was just enough kick. The thick noodles were pretty good and tasted like garlic as the ramen I ordered is garlic heavy. The chashu pork was delicious and had some good seasoning on it. The egg was cooked just right and tasted delicious, not sure what they marinated the egg with. Highly recommend stopping by to get some ramen here. read more

I've been here a few times in the past (pre-COVID) & still enjoyed it back then. Parking is substantial, although can be tricky to find spots since they're set in a busy plaza. I visited on a Sunday afternoon ~6-7 PM with 3 other people and was seated right away inside. There was only one party dining inside when we arrived, although it got busier as we were dining. Yes, the interior can be quite small but they also have outside seating - it may not be aesthetically pleasing outside but it does the job. I've had their miso ramen & vegetarian ramen in the past, which I enjoyed - both were flavorful & VERY fulfilling that I couldn't finish it, so I would give the leftovers to my bf. This time I've ordered their vegetarian maje ramen with added seaweed salad. I really enjoyed this because I was able to enjoy ramen without the broth because it was VERY hot that day & I don't like eating soup on hot days (it was my bf & his family's idea to get ramen that day). It was seasoned really well & also refreshing. Again, I couldn't finish this because their portion size was good enough for my small stomach so I saved the rest for later. My bf always orders their black garlic ramen, which he enjoys every time. The staff is really nice, professional & accommodating. The girl who took our orders would check on us if we ever needed anything & she even checked if our water cups were filled. She even brought our check in a timely manner. I would come back if I ever want ramen. read more

Visited here again; only this time, I ordered the Niku Ramen. Just like the Black Garlic Pork Ramen that I tried last time, it is a soy sauce based ramen. I am always satisfied with how spicy the ramen is here. And I brought my partner who also likes spicy ramen, and she was satisfied with the "very spicy" setting. She was especially pleased with the egg: she said it was... The service was fast and responsive. It has the ambiance of a small ramen shop. read more

I first tried their food as to-go duing covid time and always wanted to dine-in. Veggie ramen is good (Regular noodle is very thick but they do have an option for thin noodle) If you are not super hungry- you can get one ramen and extra noodles on the side and it will be good for two people. Tofu appetizer is very yum. Going to try their soupless veggie ramen option next time. Please keep in mind that space is limited so be prepared for some wait. I like how to try to optimize the space by putting a divider on table. read more

food: 4.75/5 service: 5/5 ambiance: 4/5 overall: 5/5!! came here after a long day of driving and of fasting and wanted something in the area to satisfy my soupy noodle cravings. kokoro is the place to go! located in a plaza with other businesses, kokoro is definitely a must visit in spokane. we sat ourselves and a kind waiter took our order. with my family, we ordered three ramens and a karaage appetizer to share. the food came out so quickly- like 5 minutes tops and i was surprised at the quality of the food. the karaage is tender, juicy chunks of chicken meat and is lightly battered. the chicken is freshly made, but some pieces we could tell had been fried and cooled and refried again because they were slightly dry. otherwise- solid appetizer! i would pass on the mayo that comes on the side though. this is what knocked gave my food rating a 4.75/5. i got the spicy tonkotsu and it was delicious! generous portions, really good price, thick tender cuts of pork, and the toppings were generous too (corn, wood ear mushroom, bamboo shoots, a whole soft boiled egg (this was superb), and lots of noodles)! my parents also really liked their ramens too, they ordered the black garlic and tonkotsu flavors!! overall if i am in the area i will definitely come back again. they also have boba here if you're into that. read more

Decided to stop by for lunch with the gf before picking between several locations near us as we were craving soup or noodles. It's conveniently located in the same plaza as a ton of other yummy restaurants and a grocery outlet. That being said, the parking can be a bit hectic as it's quite a popular spot for good eats. Today, we came a bit early for lunch and found parking with some distance between the car and Kokoro ramen. Upon entering, the restaurant itself resides as a small, cozy diner with several tables inside and an optional outside dining experience. We sat inside for today which was nice! You're able to people watch from inside because of the large windows facing outside. We ordered a takoyaki, Niku ramen, and tokotsu ramen. The takoyaki was topped with a lot of bonito flakes but not enough of the sauce. The octopus inside was a tad small but overall was quite enjoyable and didn't take anything away from the main course. The ramens we ordered were quite nice. The tonkotsu ramen came with large servings of the pork belly and the other amenities: bamboo, garlic, nori, and half boiled egg. It was more on the creamy side and the noodles were cooked nicely. I'm a big fan of thick ramen noodles, so I'm a bit bias. The niku ramen was on the total opposite spectrum however. My gf ordered it with thin noodles and the side portions were very generous. It comes with everything else that the tonkotsu ramen includes but a nice heap of spicy pork on top as well. The spicy pork tastes a lot like the spicy pork you would get at a Korean bbq joint and the soup itself was a bit spicy. The thin noodles however was a bit left undesired as I like a bit of texture in my noodles. Overall, kokoro ramen was a nice visit for lunch. I came with the expectation to get decent ramen and it's what I got. Pair it up with a busy plaza and good service, I thought my dining experience today was awesome. I'd come back if I ever had a craving for ramen. read more

Stopped by on a chill Monday night and it was busy. Located in a busy shopping plaza, parking could be an issue. We lucked out and found a spot right in front. There is indoor and outdoor seating, but since we had our little with us, we opted to dine indoors. FOOD: Black Garlic Pork Ramen - I got the original with thick noodles. I really enjoyed this and would definitely get it again. Currey Ramen - Had a bite of this and it was pretty good. Hubby loved it and ate it all up. Kids Ramen - It was a pretty generous portion for our 3 year old. Thumbs up from her. Chashu Don - Not too bad, but I wouldn't come here for the bowl. Service was great and with a smile. Credit cards accepted and restrooms were clean. If we're ever in the area again, we'd come back. read more

The only qualms I have about the dish was that the chasu was slightly over, so it was a bit tough to chew, and that the egg could've been a tad runnier. read more

Super tiny place but food was great! Came one random day with my boyfriend and were immediately seated. Staff was pretty busy with a large group of ~8, but could've been a bit more attentive. Ordered 2 ramens and croquette. Croquette came out in a decent amount of time. My boyfriend got his ramen and insisted on waiting for mine to come out before he starts. 10 minutes go by and nothing... server did not check in and I had to waive them down to see what's going on. They were nice about it and went to check on it and let me know the ETA. Finally got my ramen (15 minutes later than the first bowl) and by then my bf's was cold. Food was still good, but disappointed on the wait and lack of attention. Another random thing I noticed while we were waiting. The large group of ~8 had adults sitting against the wall and 2-3 children on the outside where the walking area was. Their food came out and the server was holding the ramen bowl above the children's heads to serve it to the people sitting against the wall! Multiple time! They should be more mindful and politely ask people to lean sideways when they have to reach across the way to serve a bowl of hot ramen. read more

The experience here left a distasteful impression of ramen for me for weeks to come. Kokoro Ramen is a ramen shop located on W Calaveras Boulevard. I went here with my best friend. I got myself the Shoyu Ramen ($14). I requested my noodles thick and my broth with no spice. Many ramen bowls can appear simple due to its selective makeup of ingredients, but often the techniques and attention-to-detail makes up for it. This bowl looked... generic. Didn't look messy, but didn't look refined. It could still taste amazing, right? Unfortunately, with the exception of the kikurage mushroom which is admittedly very difficult to mess up from my experience, no one ingredient did wonders for me. I don't even think any of the ingredients could stand on their own; they feel lifeless to the palate. The egg noodles were cheap and rubbery, the egg was overcooked, the chasu meat had a quick char but no flavor or tenderness, and the broth tasted watery. We were missing bamboo shoots in ours, which we addressed to our waiter and were compensated with extra chasu meat. The mung bean sprouts felt non-traditional, and we thought it would add something unique to our bowl, but we felt it should have been an optional ingredient on the side since it interfered with the overall ramen taste profile. In addition, we found remnants of egg shell in our ramen bowl. This is considered a health hazard, as somebody could choke on it and hurt their esophagus. Nobody wants to munch on egg shells when eating ramen. The only thing that was decent about the place was the staff being nice, the waitlist and service time being quick (on a Thursday evening), and the indoor space being well soundproofed and comfy. I wanted to enjoy my time at Kokoro Ramen, but unfortunately I do not think I will be coming back anytime soon. read more

This place has turned into a complete nightmare. I've dined here several times and the staff is completely disrespectful and rude. They've changed all their rules and won't allow you to share your dishes. They are ok with wasting food rather than allowing people to share. And their chef is the most rude person you'll ever com across. If you want to switch your dish from being non spicy to spicy within 1 second of placing the order, they will immediately refuse to serve you. I used to enjoy this restaurant and I now I will never be going there. Please save your time and money and avoid this restaurant at all costs. All their glasses and tables near the kitchen smell bad. The servers are always rude and have no answers to basic questions. The restaurant doesn't even get a large crowd, I'm not sure why they're rude to people all the time. One time they didn't have kimchi with ramen and instead gave me boiled eggs to go. They also charged me for the kimchi and refused to remove the charge. Completely unacceptable and extremely awful! Would give them a 0 star if Yelp allowed me to. read more

Solid ramen! Small place and was packed but I can see why. Rich savory pork broth cooked for 24 hours. Additional price for spicy and extra spicy but I'll tell you what that spicy packs a mean punch so be wary or ask for the spicy sauce on the side. Generous portion of ramen with a choice of thin noodle, thick noodle and even kale noodle! You go girl. The bowl's accompaniment also deserve praise: roasted garlic, seaweed, shredded mushrooms, bamboo shoots and onions. I haven't been blown away by a ramen place in a while. Thank you Kokoro (means heart in English) read more

Came by for lunch the other day and it was a decent experience. Parking was plentiful in the strip mall parking lot. Indoor dining was available and A/C was on. Outdoor dining was also available in a tent in the parking lot with waiter service. Staff were properly wearing a mask covering their mouth and nose. Wait staff were also wearing gloves although I saw one wipe her nose with her gloves on and continue to serve customer with the same pair of small nitrile gloves?!? Started off with the chicken karaage and it was surprising decent. It tasted like chicken breast and the chicken was flavorful and juicy. Moved on to the black garlic spicy thick ramen and it was phenomenal. The broth was very rich and pretty spicy. The noodle portions were decent and the noodles were a perfect al dente. The egg was half-cooked but was a touch cool...felt like it came from the fridge... The two slices of pork belly were tender and pretty fatty! ~$24/head after tax and gratuity for lunch. read more

Came here on a weekday night around 7:30PM. I was pretty hungry at that point and I needed food; Kokoro was there, outside seating, looked decent, let's eat! Overall, it's okay. There's nothing that stood out to me about this place but it wasn't bad either. The portions felt standard for a Bay Area ramen spot and there were a good amount of toppings. Surprisingly, the Japanese Style Fries (which is just Takoyaki toppings and sauce over french fries) was pretty darn good. Maybe we were craving it that night and hungry, but it was some good comfort food. Fries were still hot too! Now, the ramen. Unfortunately, my lady's Tonkotsu ramen broth tasted sort of diluted. The broth wasn't rich and thick compared to other Tonkotsu ramen's I've had in the Peninsula. I added the Spicy level, which is next up from No Spice. I wish they had a Mild level because jeez, I can handle spice pretty well, but going from no spice to spice?! The heat was overpowering the broth almost completely. Every time I drank my ramen broth, I would get 2 seconds of black pepper flavor and get smacked in the face with full spice. I couldn't taste any garlic or pork flavor :( Lastly, when I received my glass of water, there was a dried piece of green onion stuck to the side of the glass. Now, the waitress was nice and polite during our entire dining experience. She apologized and changed the glass after she noticed the 2nd time coming by our table after the glasses were served. My gripe is that the glass was brought to us filled with water...one would have to hold the glass or look at it when filling it with water...wouldn't one notice the green onion? It's a pretty big piece, you can check out my photos. Maybe she was tired and had a long shift...but for hygienic purposes, I do wish it was checked prior to service. Good place to eat okay ramen and very prompt service. I wouldn't expect mind blowing ramen though. read more

I was initially craving something warm like Korean tofu soup, however the lines for jang su jang and tofu house were overwhelmingly long and cascaded into the parking lot. This plaza has great options for a variety of Asian food and I happened to stumble across Kokoro Ramen while checking out other nearby restaurants. My family and I figured we would give it a try since we were in the mood for some soup and the reviews and pictures seemed pretty promising. The restaurant is really quaint and cozy and also has a few tables outside, and overall it has a relaxed vibe that is more on the quiet side. Another plus is that we were able to be sat immediately despite there being a dinner rush!! The takoyaki was fluffy and delicious. It was my favorite appetizer of the night, whereas my sister favored the chicken karaage more. Aside from those two appetizers, we ordered sweet potatoes fries and everything kept us happily satiated while we waited for our ramen. I ordered an extra spicy black garlic pork ramen and the spice was kickin after one spoonful!! The spice later mellowed out and the broth was super smooth and savory. I noticed that there's a charge depending on the spice level which is quite different bc I haven't seen such a thing before. This place is a hidden gem and great for a lowkey date night or a 2-4 person dinner! read more

The good: The portions here are pretty big. I tried the shio ramen and asked for it to be spicy. It was spicier than my mom's ramen even though there are only 2 levels of spice and we both got the same level. I was surprised that you could choose between thin or thick noodles. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The broth was pretty rich. I liked the bamboo and grilled garlic that came in the bowls. There was also a healthy serving of bean sprouts and mushroom. The bad: It costs 50 cents extra to make your bowl spicy. For spice levels there is "none, spicy, extra spicy." There's no option for mild spice. My aunt ordered her bowl spicy but the waitress didn't hear her and left it out. The indoor seating area is very small so this place isn't good for large groups. There was only one waitress/hostess who had to run around both outside and inside so service was a bit slower. The interesting: They played fun music like Porter Robinson. They have an option to get kale noodles for an additional cost. I've never heard of kale noodles before! read more

Personally, I thought this place was pretty good. However, my table did experience some issues. Parking: It's kind of in a crazy location with a busy parking lot. There is free parking but finding a spot may take a couple of minutes. Food: I ordered the Curry Ramen and I thought it was pretty good. However, my friend had ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. As someone who suffers from severe allergies, he asked the server if there was any peanuts or dairy in the tonkatsu ramen and they said no. Shortly after he experienced an allergic reaction. We also shared the fried gyoza and asked them the same questions. They also said there were no peanuts or dairy. We are not too sure which product contained any of these things but he did have a reaction. So if you are allergic to dairy or peanuts I would proceed with caution. Service: At the time, the service was pretty good. They answered our questions and were very attentive to our table. However, if there are peanuts or dairy in their product they should know so they can give accurate information to their customers. Overall, this place is pretty good if you do not have peanut or dairy allergies. read more
