About
The Highgate branch of the Cocoro group was established by Japanese owners Hideko and Kayoko Suzui as part of their small, family-run network of authentic Japanese restaurants and delis in North London. Trading from the third of the group's London sites, Cocoro Highgate on Archway Road combines a compact sit-in restaurant with a Japanese deli and takeaway service, covering a wide range of Japanese cuisine styles: hand-made nigiri and sashimi, uramaki, tonkatsu, donburi bowls, ramen, yakisoba and Japanese curry. The format — a true community space with seven-days-a-week opening and accessible pricing — closely mirrors the original Marylebone branch and reflects the Suzui family's commitment to authentic Japanese neighbourhood dining.
Neighborhood & visiting
Cocoro Highgate sits in Highgate, one of London's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root.
