Cocoro Highgate — Restaurant in London

When I was younger and my parents divorced my dad would take me to sushi train in Australia and I have therefore have a very fond association with sushi.

I’ve gone through my life since then and travelled around. I’ve been to the Gold Coast, I’ve been to London and of course Sydney. Whenever I have lived I have found a place to call home I have also found a local sushi restaurant to also be my home.

Cocoro Highgate is that very pillar of family I’ve been looking for all my life at all times that I have found again in London. It has been existing in perpetuity as a sort of paragon of love divine and it often eludes itself from myself which, is an illusion anyway.

The solution has manifest into a fantasy that I can fill in my fingers as I pick up Ikura nigiri in the Cocoro Highgate which I know to have been made with the same love as a I have eaten in Tokyo Japan which I have visited twice in my life.

We go through life trying to reach for material things and often it feels to be made and idolatry and in the same way that is great civilisation have fallen.

The civilisation is part of the divine fertilisation that exist forever and doesn’t really end unless you wanted to and if you did you wouldn’t be here.

Cocoro has very high quality sushi at a reminds me of Japan, did I say that!! It also reminds me of Sydney, and also a sushi restaurant in the Gold Coast it was called Sushi Honba.

There’s something about quantum physics and sushi that doesn’t really relate but it does, this is via voice note so stream of consciousness and not necessarily picked up properly.

Umeboshi plum wine here has a very tasty selection and is included on the menu and it was quite good to drink.

People go through life all the time and they’re quite happy and sometimes quite sad.

Whether you fit into either one of these groups you will always have a good time at Kokoro Highgate because it has very good time.

Honestly I know what is real and what is not much of life is not real but Cocoro Highgate is real.

It is more real than the films of Yasujuri Ozu, it is more real than the finale of neon Genesis evangelion. And...

We came here end of last year after having previously enjoyed Cocoro's other restaurants in London and always praising them highly to others. Sadly the Ramen and sides we had here didn't match up to the food at the other sites and the Ramen was actually not pleasant :( the pork was extremely tough and dry and the flavour of the broth all over the place and not well balanced. They actually got my order incorrect too, which made the experience even worse, and served me the gluten/wheat noodles when I asked specifically for rice noodles. I had already eaten half of the meal until my partner questioned my noodles and said he thought they were not rice ones and looked the same as his. To my horror he was right! They apologised and bought me out a replacement but by then I had lost my appetite and wasn't enjoying my meal at all, not to mention the replacement one they bought out was a totally different flavour/colour on the broth. So that was confusing! I then ended up unable to finish my food because my stomach reacted to the things I had just eaten and shouldn't and spent the next 1/4 hour having a bad time in the toilets downstairs in the place before leaving suffering abdominal cramps.

Obviously will never go to this place again and so disappointed it was that bad. Only leaving this review now as my partner said he would leave it at the time but...

I too was a fan until something went quite wrong. I had been supporting this local restaurant since its opening. It was not until several months down the line that they decided to give me a loyalty card. The options they told me, when the card was fully stamped, were either to have the two offers available on the card or a £10-reduction on my next meal. Things went well after that and I was always happy with the food and the nice staff. One weekend, we turned up for lunch and, although my card was fully stamped we agreed with the waitress that I would use up my allowance of £10 for the next meal The following week, when I turned up for lunch and handed it out my card, the waitress told me that the owner had decided to change the rule, therefore I could no longer benefit from a £10-reduction. Rather upset, I carried on having my lunch and paid fully for it but tore up the card and asked the waitress to hand it back to the owner and tell her that she would see less of me. In my opinion, this attitude is not correct as the waitress should have allowed me to use my allowance for the last time and explain to me that the new rule would apply from the nest time onwards. Since that day, I have stopped to support this place which no longer deserves my loyalty. I would not call this good...
