    I had an incredible dining experience at Kokoro Tulum restaurant. The sushi was absolutely amazing, with a perfect balance of flavors and freshness that left me craving for more. But what truly set this place apart was the impeccable service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure every aspect of our meal was exceptional. The ambiance was also lovely, creating a delightful atmosphere for our evening. Kokoro Tulum is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for top-notch sushi and exceptional service in Tulum.

    Kokoro is a Nice option for Japanese experience. Starting on the path to the restaurant, surrounding by tress, super vibe! The food was amazing, very flavorful and unique. Must get the Bluefin Tuna Tartar , and Unagi Especial Maki Roll. Drinks were refreshing and delicious. Gerson our waiter was on top of everything, very friendly and professional. The all team on point. Perfect for a relaxing, enjoy-full and flavorful vibe!

    Increíble experiencia en KOKORO, el lugar está en un rooftop bajo las estrellas, dentro de un hotel que se llama COPAL, súper romántico, rodeado de naturaleza. los peoductos son de lo más fresco y los toppings caviar, foie-gras, trufa son impresionantes. Recomendó la selección del chef ! Mejor restaurante de TULUM y de lejos !!

    We loved everything about Kokoro! The food was exquisite, a little on the pricey side but definitely worth it. My husband and I treated ourselves to an anniversary dinner and every dish tasted so fresh. The sushi melts in your mouth and the cocktails are so light and flavors are so nuanced! We had the lychee cheesecake and matcha ice cream and loved it both. We loved our experience so much we returned the next evening to try the pans cotta dessert and cocktails. The panna cotta was hands down the best we ever had, I don’t know what they did to make it so silky. We will definitely be returning to Kokoro! Also, Aaron our server was great!!

    I enjoyed my meal at Kokoro! The fish is fresh, so each maki roll and the temaki we ordered was delicious. If you sit upstairs, you can see the chefs prepare the dishes. The atmosphere is nice, and the lo-fi music playlist added to the ambiance. If you want some sushi in Tulum, check this place out!

    This is a great foodie spot! It is 5 stars from the sushi chef to the hostess to the server. Our waiter was Jesus and he was wonderful. We ordered the chefs choice and it was the perfect amount of food and a well curated menu for the evening which included green tea ice cream that was a great way to end the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is a small restaurant so reservations will guarantee the perfect romantic meal under a canopy of trees. Truly a hidden gem in the heart of Tulum.
