Japanese restaurant Kokolo Donburi is expanding. With locations in Alameda, Pleasanton, and now Berkeley, the restaurant has plans to open five new Bay Area spots in Livermore, Milpitas, Richmond, Walnut Creek, and Fremont.
Kokolo Donburi specializes in rice bowls (Donburi, in Japanese, is a traditional-style rice bowl) to carnivores and vegetarians alike, offering a selection of traditional pork, chicken, and wagyu beef rice bowls alongside tofu, shitake mushroom, and vegetable tempura bowls.
Kokolo, which means “heart and mind” in Japanese, is the philosophy on which the restaurant operates — each of its dishes in served “from the heart” and is inspired by traditional Japanese culinary culture.
The Milpitas spot, at 179 Ranch Drive, and the Walnut Creek spot, at 1231-1255 S. California Blvd, are expected to open in July. The location in downtown Livermore, at 2495 First Street, and the one in Richmond, at 3288 Pierce Street, are set to open in June. As for the Fremont spot, all we know is that it’s “coming soon.” Check out the Kokolo Donburi website for updates.
