Reviews for Sushi Taro in 1503 17th St NW, WA
Kind of disappointed by the Kaiseki menu. There are supposed to be different dishes to bring surprises, but I got 4 nigiri... courses out of the nine courses. Really? Can the chef be more creative? There are yakitori, stew and other Japanese food aswell right? Also, I went there because one of the kaiseki dishes on their website menu is supposed to be shabu shabu, but I gotduck breast instead, kind of disappointed. Everything else is still delicious, minus the overkill nigiri and sorry looking tunatartar. Read more
Right up front: Make a reservation! You're welcome. This place is not very big and its reputation has made seats a precious... commodity. Walk-in at your own risk. Take out is available though. Quality and cut is superb. Freshness? You bet. Portions aregreat. Service? Fantastic. Read more
Had a wonderful dinner here celebrating my husband's birthday - we opted for the full experience and enjoyed a variety of tasty... dishes, from raw fish/sushi, to cooked. There was ample food, to be sure! Servers were wonderful and helpful, even our kids hada lovely time and found plenty of dishes to enjoy. Read more
Highly recommend. I had an amazing experience at Sushi Taro. Booked a reservation for our wedding anniversary and the restaurant... made it really memorable for us. Our orders were: Sushi tokujo, Tai Zohsui and a raw octopus tentacle dish. Service: Excellent.Tara was our server and she’s attentive to our enquiries. She also patiently explained the names of the dishes to us (weshowed her google photos). They were quite flexible with my request for no tamago, include uni and roe sushi. Dishes:Excellent. The sashimi slices on the sushi and octopus tentacles was fresh. The porridge had this umami flavour, simplydelightful. Each dish was also plated in a pleasing manner. Price: $$$$ as what google dictates. But it’s worthit. Experience: Excellent. The restaurant surprised us with a matcha dessert at the end of our meal to celebrate ouranniversary. The mochi was soft and chewy, the brown syrup paired well with the ice-cream and jelly cubes. I really appreciatedthe kind gesture and extra mile that Sushi Taro went for us. Thank you (: Read more
Sushi Taro was an absolutely lovely experience. I went with my brother who lives about 5 mins away while I was in town visiting.... The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic. It was right after the snow storm and I was happy to see how many otherpeople were still getting out and dining. My brother and I split everything and it was to die for. I know this is kind ofrandom, but one of my highlights of the meal was the spicy mustard they served with the duck. I seriously could drink thatmustard. I can’t wait for my next visit! Read more
Some of the best sushi I’ve ever had. Don’t be fooled by the small and shady entrance: the place is spacious and nicely... themed. Also, it is located on 17th street food corridor which is youthful and picturesque. Lastly, everything we ordered wasabsolutely delicious which explains its Michelin level ratings! Read more
Wow!! When we first walked in I was a little surprised that this place was a Michelin star. We came during restaurant week (menu... attached) and every single dish was absolutely amazing! The freshest & most delectable fish my tastebuds have ever experienced,they were literally dancing. Decor was simple but elegant, was a nice environment and good service. This restaurant isdefinitely deserving of their star & highly recommend ! Read more
Love everything they served- even the desserts! Their fish selections were fresh and flavorful. Their chef is excellent, the... cuts were clean. Most of their sushi already has wasabi included in between the rice and meat, so that’s something to note.But overall, I really love the food and ambience. Read more
