Kokoro Handroll Bar

Houston Restaurant Openings to Know Right Now, March 2025 | Eater Houston

"A new outpost from Duckstache Hospitality (the group behind Handies Douzo, Doko, and Bar Doko) launched in The Woodlands as the group's third opening of the year. The sushi-focused concept serves hand rolls, nigiri, sashimi, and crudo, and — unlike its sister restaurant in Houston — this location is built around a full bar offering beer, wine, sake, and cocktails. Chef-owners and Uchi veterans Patrick Pham and Daniel Lee originally launched the first rendition in Bravery Chef Hall in 2019 before debuting a Dubai outpost in 2024; the group also operates a Downtown Houston location and two Dubai locations." - Brittany Britto Garley
