LA’s SGV Japanese Gem | Great Quality, Great Value! 🍱✨

Finding Japanese food in the SGV that’s both varied and affordable can be tough—but Kokoro Japanese Restaurant nails it! Perfect for after-work hangs, they offer sushi, bento boxes, donburi, udon, sashimi, and izakaya-style appetizers—all with generous portions and nice presentation. 🍽️ What We Loved: 🍣 Sushi Boat (for 4–6) – Only around $70 for a huge spread of sushi and sashimi (most places charge $100+!). 🍱 Bento Boxes – Great value with a mix of tempura, sushi, salad, and your choice of protein. 🍢 Appetizers – Larger than typical Japanese spots! Try the shishito peppers and fried tofu. 🍚 Toro & Eel Donburi – My personal favorite—fresh toro with savory grilled eel over rice. So satisfying! They also have a full sake and beer menu, making it a relaxed spot for drinks and bites. 📍 Kokoro Japanese Restaurant – SGV ⏰ 11:30am–10pm A reliable, budget-friendly spot with plenty of options—whether you’re dining solo or with friends! 🥢💛 #LAJapanese #KokoroSGV #AffordableSushi #BentoBox #DonburiLove #SGVFoodie #CasualDining #JapaneseComfort #EatLocalLA #ValueEats
