Sushi & Tempura: All the sushi options are genuinely lovely—fresh, well-made, and absolutely worth ordering. The Crispy Tempura Roll and Ebi Tempura both stand out: Crispy Tempura Roll: 5/5 – Perfect crunch, spot-on flavor Ebi Tempura: 5/5 – Excellent prawn tempura, light batter Dumplings (Dimsum): I’ve tried a few, but I’m just not a fan—none impressed me, so I’d recommend skipping the dumplings unless you’re very curious.

A Delightful Experience at CoCo

I recently had the pleasure of visiting CoCo, and I couldn’t resist trying their Neapolitan pizza, which turned out to be a truly exceptional dish. The pizza I had ordered came in a perfect half-and-half combination: one half was a classic Margherita, and the other half was a wild mushroom medley.

The Margherita side was nothing short of authentic. The dough was wonderfully airy, with the perfect balance of lightness and texture, making each bite feel like a delicate cloud. The cornicioné was flawlessly cooked. It was the kind of crust that you savor with every bite, cooked to perfection. The marinara sauce had a beautiful balance of sweet and tangy flavors, adding just the right amount of zest without overwhelming the dish. Topped with fresh, fragrant basil and a generous sprinkle of parmesan, it was a true representation of a classic Napoli Margherita—simple, flavorful, and absolutely delicious.

The other half of the pizza featured a luxurious combination of wild mushrooms—button, wood ear, and shiitake mushrooms—each contributing their unique flavor and texture to the dish. The truffle oil added a rich, earthy depth that harmonized beautifully with the mushrooms, enhancing the umami notes. This combination was nothing short of divine, making it a standout for mushroom lovers.

For the main course, I also ordered the ravioli filled with broccoli and cheese. The ravioli was impeccably made, with perfectly shaped, delicate pockets of filling. The creamy sauce balanced beautifully with the ravioli, providing a velvety texture that was rich but not overwhelming. A light drizzle of lemon butter oil added a refreshing touch, cutting through the richness with just the right hint of citrus. It was a wonderful contrast that brought out the best in the filling.

Overall, the meal was a complete triumph. From the well-crafted pizza to the delicately made ravioli, it’s clear that the chefs at CoCo take immense pride in their food. I highly recommend this cafe for anyone looking for an authentic, flavorful experience.
