There's a reason this is THE restaurant that visiting Japanese dignitaries go to. Genuinely one of the top Japanese restaurants in the *world* outside of Japan. (And with the accolades to prove it.)
Come for happy hour, or a fancy dinner, or try the outstanding omakase... you can't go wrong, and you can eat well at every price point from $20-200.

Sushi Taro is our go-to Friday night dinner spot in DC, whether we’re stopping in for happy hour, enjoying Restaurant Week, or splurging on an omakase experience. The fish is flown in fresh from Japan twice a week, every week, and you can truly taste the difference. The food is consistently exceptional, but what makes Sushi Taro so special is the warm, attentive service that makes every visit feel like a treat. Thank you, Sushi Taro, for always making our Friday nights delicious...read full review

Sushi Taro, located above a CVS, provides a sushi experience that many find delightful. The menu features a variety of meals, including cooked seafood and sushi, ensuring there is something for everyone. Popular highlights include the Kobe dish and NC Bluefin Tuna special. The cooked mixed vegetables are well-seasoned and make for a great start, while the seaweed and radish dish is both refreshing and warming. The 6-piece Poke-mon roll and shrimp tempura roll are satisfying options, with the rice being perfect for sushi. The rainbow roll, with its vibrant mix of fish, and the salmon avocado roll remain favorites among guests. The restaurant's calm, zen-like interior decor, along with big windows overlooking leafy trees, creates a pleasant atmosphere. The staff is attentive, and the extensive sake selection enhances the meal. Although the food quality has been noted as overpriced by some, others appreciate the great quality and fair prices, particularly on busy Friday nights. During restaurant week, dishes like soft shell crab and shabu shabu ramen were enjoyed hot and flavorful. Overall, Sushi Taro continues to be a notable destination for sushi lovers seeking a memorable experience, despite mixed reviews on certain dishes.
