koko kitchen (japanese)

if homey is what you want, koko kitchen is it. family-owned and family-serviced (the mom takes the cashier), this restaurant is located in a quiet corner on 300E and 700S. restaurant? it's more like an exalted cafeteria, but this is not meant to be an insult at all, it's just because cafeteria gives one more of the relaxed aura than a restaurant does. the food is ok, but good enough for the price. i only had the combo once (pictured), never had their sushi. i would say it's more home-cooked than any other because their recipes aren't 'strict'--tis is the only place where i found unexpected veggies in my miso soup. i would come here when i'm in my walking shorts on a rainy afternoon, and i did, to find out ten other people had the same idea in that small cozy place. apparently it's a village favorite.
