Kokoro Handroll Bar - Review - The Woodlands - Houston - The Infatuation

"The team behind Downtown food hall spot Kokoro and Autry Park newcomer Doko bring their sushi expertise to the Woodlands Waterway, with a focus on handrolls (obviously). Standouts on the menu include Thai chili–laced crudos and temaki packed with king salmon belly, A5 Wagyu, and uni. Unlike the Downtown original, there are no hot dishes like yakitori here, but it is the first time Kokoro will feature a full bar, with drinks like the cardamom- and honey-laced Doko G&T. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Brooke Viggiano

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

Went for a friends birthday. The service was excellent and the food was even better. My friend was gift a little nigiri treat, which she really enjoyed. Sushi rice was cooked perfectly and the fish was fresh. Our favorite was the crab handroll. And my personal fave, the scallop foie gras.

I was in awe walking into the restaurant. It’s a very large open space with a simple but lively atmosphere. The waiters were very knowledgeable on the dishes and, very kind when asked about almost the whole menu. I ordered some Bluefin Chutoro sashimi, a Maguro crudo, BGB Sake hand roll, and some BGB Sake sashimi. The bluefin tuna was delicious all on its own but the crudo was an adventure. They add just a few ingredients that help complement and elevate the tuna. Every bite is an explosion of flavor! The Handroll was super crunch and a little warm. The contrast in temperature is like a party in your mouth, I dipped it in the ponzu sauce from my crudo. 10/10 would recommend. Finally I finished with some salmon sashimi and like everything else it a was mind melting. The salmon didn’t have a super strong fishy smell and was so buttery soft like the tuna. The tuna and salmon sashimi almost melt in your mouth. The experience was so good, I didn’t get pictures of everything. The atmosphere makes it so easy to set aside your phone and yap with a partner or friend while dining. I will for sure be coming back!!!!

FINALLY, a high standard sushi place in north Houston. My husband and I finally left the city for suburban living with our kids and sushi quality was what we were missing. Just like their sister restaurants, this place hits the target! Amazing flavors, perfectly seasoned, and high quality fish. If you love real sushi, this is it! My only hope is we get more exotic fish in the future. Thanks to Ricardo and the personable sushi chefs for taking care of us and my mother-in-law for her birthday!

By far the best sushi you'll find in the Woodlands. We've been big fans of many restaurants in this ownership group, and we were thrilled to have a location up north. The handrolls are amazing with extra crispy nori and perfect flavor combinations. The crudos are always a favorite go-to. You won't find better service or higher quality fish anywhere.

I had a wonderful solo visit while in The Woodlands for business. Everything was delicious - no soy sauce necessary! I splurged, starting with the Sunomno, then the Kampachi Crudo - which was, I think, my favorite, though it's a difficult call. After that, I had the 4 handroll set, and added caviar to the negitoro. I ended with a few bites of sushi: bluefin chutoro, hamachi, hotate, and A5 wagyu with caviar. Each bite was so well crafted. My always helpful and friendly waiter closed my meal with his favorite - saketoro aburi. I would be hard- pressed to pick a favorite, each was a unique and delicious bite. Not an inexpensive evening, lol, but worth every penny! I will be back when in town again.

We LOVE Kokoro! They are truly the best in the area. Fresh fish, incredible drinks; everything is truly put together with so much thought and detail. All of the crudo's are spectacular and the hand rolls are all delicious. We get the 4 hand roll option from the menu and it hits every time. One of our favorite date night spots.

Such a cool spot! Loved everything about this place! We had a reservation and sat at the bar — watching them cook and prep was part of the magic. Everyone was super kind and explained each dish. Service was a 20/10. The food was incredible, and you must try the BGB Sake Aburi nigiri — unforgettable! Bonus: they even gave me a little duck as a gift! Loved it all.

Outstanding sushi restaurant. Very high quality product. Simple menu with an emphasis on nigiri and sashimi. Note: they have hand rolls but no cut rolls. Crudos were a highlight. The space is clean and sophisticated. The sushi bar looks like a lot of fun. Great cocktails. Excellent addition to The Woodlands.

I've been to one of their sister locations, Aioko, with the iconic rubber duckies. This place did not disappoint. And I am so happy they opened a shop in the Woodlands area. The staff was incredibly attentive, making the experience all the more enjoyable. The quality of the fish was outstanding--each bite was fresh and full of flavor. My favorite dish was the BGB Saketoro Aburi Nigiri. You can truly taste the difference in the ingredients. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a beautifully designed sushi bar at the center and cozy tables along the sides. I'd love to see an omakase menu in the future, but even without it, this place is a standout. I'll definitely be returning

A fantastic addition to The Woodlands, Kokoro strikes the perfect balance between elevated dining and casual charm, making it a spot you'll want to revisit regularly. The crudos are outstanding, and the hand rolls are absolutely worth a special trip. Service is top-notch--we felt well taken care of from the moment we walked in until the check arrived. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just grabbing dinner on a weeknight, Kokoro is well worth a visit. An added benefit-- they were very accommodating for my friend who has a gluten allergy.

Excellent food and service. The Woodlands has desperately needed a high quality sushi restaurant. Kokoro delivers at every aspect.

Everything went well. The service was outstanding. Lots of attention making sure we were enjoying ourselves. I've travel to Japan too many times to count and lived in Hawaii for 19yrs were sashimi was sold in Safeway. I usually won't eat raw fish just any where. Kokoro was a utopian experience. The 4 of us had a party. Go for it. exquisite
