Great place to get fresh sashimi at a decent price.
Bluefin Tuna was the best.
Uni was a bit pricey in comparison to other locations but fresh.

I ordered takeout from this sushi place recently, specifically excited to try their fresh sea urchin (uni) since it’s one of my favorite delicacies and not always easy to find high-quality versions for delivery. I have to say, the food itself was outstanding—the uni was incredibly fresh, creamy, and melted in my mouth with that perfect briny sweetness, without any off flavors that you sometimes get when it’s not handled properly. The other items I ordered, like the nigiri assortment and a couple of rolls, were also well-prepared with high-quality fish, properly seasoned rice, and everything arrived in good condition despite being takeout. The portions were generous, and overall, the quality of the ingredients and preparation really shone through, which is why I’d normally rate a sushi spot higher based on the food alone.
However, my experience picking up the order was quite disappointing and detracted significantly from the positives. When I arrived at the designated time, the staff seemed completely overwhelmed and short-handed—it looked like they were dealing with a rush of orders, but there weren’t enough people to manage it efficiently. The person at the counter was abrupt and unfriendly, barely acknowledging me while I waited longer than expected, and when handing over the bag, there was no smile, no “thank you,” or even basic courtesy. It felt rushed and impersonal, like they were just trying to get through the line as quickly as possible without any real customer service. I understand that takeout places can get busy, especially in the evenings, but a little warmth or professionalism goes a long way, particularly in food service.
In the end, while the sushi itself was top-notch and I’d consider ordering again purely for the fresh uni and overall food quality, the poor attitude and stressed vibe from the staff made the whole experience feel lacking. Two stars feels fair—great product, but service needs serious improvement to match it. Hope they can hire more help or train better during peak times!

I ordered the daily specials and the food was good, pretty standard quality, though I felt it was slightly overpriced for what you get.
I visited on a random weekend late afternoon and was surprised by how busy it was. The wait for dine-in was quite long, partly because the staff seemed a bit slow to clear/turn tables. The seating isn't very comfortable either; it’s definitely more of an 'eat and go' spot rather than a place to sit and chat.
A nice bonus is the Japanese grocery store inside, which has a good variety of unique products. However, like the restaurant menu, the grocery items are on the pricier side compared to other places.

The freshest sushi I’ve had in a long time, even with the premade sushi. Worth the price!

This spot is a hidden gem! At first glance, it looks like a mini Japanese supermarket—you’ll find fresh fish, cup noodles, snacks, and more. There’s a takeout counter and also a small dine-in area. We came during peak hours without a reservation, so we had to wait about 30 minutes to be seated. That said, the food was absolutely worth the wait. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We even bought fresh fish from their market section, and they kindly sliced it into sashimi for us. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and overall experience make it worth it. I’d definitely come back!

I buy chirashi don from here almost every week, Recently the portion of sashimi is getting smaller and smaller and thin like a paper. You can literally see the rice underneath through the fish. Disappointed.

Almost everything is very great, no matter the food, decorations, vibes, or staffs, I just have a sincere suggestion: I hope the chefs could wear masks when slicing or chatting with clients should also keep the distance. This is for better hygiene, isn't it ?

This restaurant captures the feel of Japanese dining better than most in the city. The casual feel combined with great quality and prices makes this place feel like a guaranteed return. Being able to also buy products that you can't get anywhere else also helps!
Taro's Fish deserves a five-star rating because of its food. I really enjoyed the chirashi lunch set, so the slow service and crowded seating were all okay.
On my way out, I bought a box of takoyaki and a can of sesame ice cream — both tasted great.

Very fresh fish and great for sashimi lovers. The staff was helpful but could have been better especially since it was our first time there and its not a conventional restaurant. Definitely will go there again.
