“Traditional sushi above a CVS.”
– Not For Tourists
Travel + Leisure "Though hard to find this second-floor, Dupont-Circle treat, the delectable sushi is a treasure worth the hunt." Full review
Zagat "For "divine" "classical sushi", piscine purists head to this "memorable" Dupont Circle Japanese where chefs who "know their stuff" present an "outstanding" omakase procession." Full review
BlackBook "Unassuming Shinto temple nestled above a corner drug store gets extreme makeover."
Time Out "Sushi Taro underwent a major renovation in 2009 and has been reborn as an upmarket Kaiseki-style traditional Japanese restaurant, under owner Nobu Yamazaki." Full review
Rough Guide "Plenty of fine sushi, sashimi, tempura and teriyaki, with moderate to expensive prices. If raw fish isn’t your thing, choose from the selection of steak and pork cutlets."
Washington Post Editors' Pick
"This six-seat chef's counter, hidden in the back of the Sushi Taro, is a transporting, if expensive, experience." Full review
The Infatuation "Sushi Taro is one of a few contenders for best sushi in the District, but most importantly, it stands out for coming in handy on so many occasions." Full review

Uses include but aren’t limited to: an anniversary or birthday dinner when you (preferably not you) are willing to spend $160 on the omakase, a meal with your visiting parents that they requested be quiet but not boring, and a low-key Wednesday night catch-up with your roommate.
Michelin Guide 1 Star
"Comfortable and warmly attended dining room. Sushi Taro may offer a solid à la carte and numerous tasting menus, but the overall experience at the omakase counter is truly stellar." Full review

"Sushi Taro may offer à la carte and tastings, but the experience at the six-seat counter with a single service nightly is highly recommended....there are a series of small plates" Full review
