Best Hidden Gems in Kokomo - Restaurant Edition - UPDATED 2024
Hey Kokomo! If you’ve been following The Kokomo Post for any amount of time, you might have noticed how much we love to eat. We love discovering Kokomo’s hidden gems and supporting local restaurants in our area, and we want to share the love with you. Check out this list for some of Kokomo’s best kept secrets!
Pho Nguyen
Kokomo’s first and only Vietnamese restaurant. Pho Nguyen is a place our office frequents often. Since Vietnamese cooking is done with minimal use of oil and dairy and relies more on the light, fresh flavors of herbs and vegetables, it’s considered one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. Our favorite items from Pho Nguyen are the fresh spring rolls and the seafood chow mein!

Tokyo Cuisine
Ramen, hibachi, sushi and more await at Tokyo Cuisine! Fresh ingredients, flavorful combinations and amazing owners and employees. This was one of my first episodes of Heidi’s Hidden Gems and once you stop in and give it a taste, I think you’ll understand why.
Tokyo Cuisine is located at 108 N. Dixon Rd., Kokomo.
Yolanda’s Place
Jerk and Soul food at its finest. Yolanda’s doesn’t play when it comes to fried chicken, wings and jerk tacos.
