About the restaurant

Feeling, Art, & Reflexion. Kokoro Tulum is hidden on the rooftop of Copal Tulum Hotel, just under the stars and surrounded by the greenery of nature. You will enter by a cenote road and arrive to this sensual place, shining by Japanese orange lamps. The Spirit Of The Japanese Cuisine. Our line represents the essence and soul of the Japanese cuisine, respecting the product, using the classic techniques and playing with local ingredients. High quality, prime-cut ingredients like Baja California Bluefin Tuna or Amaebi shrimp, to ensure not only freshness but delicious flavor notes. We marry all these elements into a great play of flavor and texture through proper execution and consistency. And experience through balance of flavors, textures, colors, and temperatures appreciating each cut and raw material. Live the Experience.

Dinner at Kokoro Tulum was absolutely fantastic. We had the Secret Garden and Kyandi cocktails and both were perfect. For food, we had both of the special edamame; the garlic butter on the Kokoro Edamame was to die for. For small plates we had tuna tartare, soft shell maki, tuna maki, tuna wontons and Kokoro shrimp — all out of this world with flavor and freshness. For dessert we had Ferraro ice cream which tasted like a rich creamy hazelnut. Our server was Aaron who was prompt, professional, and kind. The value was tremendous at 4200 pesos or $210 USD, a meal like this would easily be $400 in Boston, MA. Thank you so much to the team at Kokoro for an unforgettable evening and dining experience. Sincerely Joe and Meghan from Boston.

About the restaurant

Esta majestuosa parrilla de llama abierta está inspirada en la vista del fuego vivo y el aroma del aire fresco del océano besado por la sal. Dedicado al delicado arte de la preparación de mariscos, toda la experiencia se basa en una enérgica cocina abierta. Cada plato incorpora un elemento de humo, carbón o fuego, algunos sutiles, otros más evidentes. Desde abundantes presentaciones de barras crudas hasta pescado entero asado a la parrilla para dos, este agradable restaurante nocturno celebra la belleza del mar y el poder de las llamas.

About the restaurant

El espíritu del árbol de jacaranda
El árbol de Jacaranda fue trasplantado a México por inmigrantes japoneses en el siglo XX. Es una
inspiración adecuada para este restaurante teppanyaki, que fusionará técnicas clásicas japonesas y del
sudeste asiático con ingredientes y estilos locales. Kengai es la interpretación de una experiencia de
teppanyaki adaptada a Tulum.

The Spirit of the Jacaranda Tree
The Jacaranda tree was transplanted to Mexico by Japanese immigrants in the 20th century. It is a fitting
inspiration for this teppanyaki restaurant, which will merge classic Japanese and Southeast Asian
techniques with local ingredients and styles. Kengai is a new interpretation of a high-energy teppanyaki
experience, well-adapted for Tulum.

Thai spring roll and boa buns were delicious. Tikka Masala could use a little more spice/ flavor but overall was still good. Ambiance and service was great.

Great ambiance. Good food. Waiter was pushy on tip. Directly asked if 20% would be ok?
