One of Stockton’s excellent sushi restaurants is located only a few blocks from campus. Located down Pacific Avenue on The Miracle Mile, Coco Ro could be the answer to your fabulous cuisine dreams and is a lovely setting for a date or a nice dinner with friends. The restaurant is fairly small, but the large windows and edgy interior design give Coco Ro a more spacious feel.
A Japanese Bistro, Coco Ro serves to a wide variety of tastes. Each of the hot chicken, seafood, and beef dishes are as delicious as the others and the sushi always fresh and appetizing. During my frequent visits, the atmosphere was always relaxing with rather dimmed lights, beautiful little Japanese artifacts, and light music in the background. If you are in the mood for sushi, I suggest the Spicy Crunchy Scallop roll, made with spicy tuna, tempura scallops (fried scallops), avocado, and spicy sauce. The Coco Roll with prawn tempura, avocado, eel and walnuts is another delightful option. The cooked portion of the menu has some highlights as well. A favorite appetizer of mine is the beef asparagus wrap, covered in a garlic-jalapeño sauce. The spicy sesame chicken dinner, which comes with salad and rice, is also delectable. Do not forget about dessert! Coco Ro has some tasty treats to offer: tempura ice cream, which is fried ice cream, and mochi, a Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice that mixes between ice cream and chewy candy. With yummy flavors like mango, strawberry, and chocolate, this delicacy is hard to resist. Conventional sushi rolls and nigiri, hand-rolled sushi consisting of a mound of sushi rice with a slice of topping, range from about $6 to $15, and the cooked menu starts at about $8. Coco Ro certainly may be a bit expensive for college students, but is definitely well worth the price. The next time the dining hall does not look too appetizing, or your parents are in town, head over to Coco Ro for some fine Japanese dining!
