What S likes about Cocoron:
I have a wild story to share! I was on my way to a concert that I was really excited about when our train lost power. We ended up having to take an Uber at the last minute, but this restaurant really came to our rescue! The noodles were fantastic, and the service was incredibly fast. They also have great vegan options. Just a heads-up, though: it's cash-only, so plan accordingly! View all feedback.
What Michael G doesn't like about Cocoron:
Disappointed. Unauthentic flavors for the typical zaru soba, overly salty sauce and not much smoky flavor as typical. They had a sesame base hot dipping soba which tasted like a tan tan men, and was ok.. Their enoki bacon appetizer also fell short. Chewy fatty bacon and also overly salty. View all feedback.

read moreThe food here is so good. All of the soba noodle options are really excellent. Also, the appetizers are really good too. Note that this place is cash-only.
Really delicious soba noodles with a spicy pork broth. (It’s the Mera mera. It’s small and crowded though so avoid with large groups.
I also recommend the yakuzen soup—it offers a lighter and healthier twist on traditional Japanese curry while still being rich and flavorful. It won't weigh you...
