★★★★☆ 4.0 Jay Shen · Nov 2025

My friends and I came here because of its Michelin Star status and overall we had a good time tasting every dish that we ordered. It was clear that all the dishes were curated very carefully to ensure that every bite was worth it. While I still thought the price was exuberant, the overall experience was good enough for me to recommend this establishment if one is looking for good sushi around the area with little to no budget limitations. The live soft-shell crab tempura looked like it was burnt since it looked so black, but it wasn't the case in reality. Every bite had very potent crab flavor which was pleasantly surprising, even if each small piece was really thin. The dish that had the cooked salmon and salmon roe had very tasty bites, because the salmon had just the right amount of cr

The service at Sushi Taro was excellent—attentive, professional, and very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was high quality and beautifully prepared, but the portion sizes felt a bit small for the price point. Overall, a great dining experience, especially for the service and quality, but I wish the servings were a little more generous.

2026年 Osechi bento review: Excellent traditional bento, beautifully prepared with high quality ingredients. 100% worth the price. You can tell a lot of time and effort was spent preparing this bento. I was very very impressed. I will be ordering this every year. どもありがとうございます!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Dylan Prévost · Oct 2025

Sushi Taro used to be considered one of the top Japanese restaurants in the city, but it is not surprising they no longer are on the Michelin guide in 2025. The table service was good, but the rest of the service was mediocre. The food itself does feel overpriced for the quality, only a few select items were notable. Really not a destination for sushi or sashimi. Nothing they are doing terribly wrong per se, just nothing to write home about.

★★★★★ 5.0 Sam Goldsmith · Jun 2025

Had a wonderful dining experience. Staff was knowledgeable and full of suggestions. The toro melts in your mouth. Tender pork belly. Amazing udon and tempura. Great sake and beer selections. Can’t recommend more highly.
