Description

At this no-frills cult spot, the fish is as pristine and skillfully prepared as at any of the expense-account sushi places in Manhattan. Sit at the bar for omakase, a relative bargain, and munch your way through earthy monkfish liver, sweet shrimp sashimi (the head is fried separately) and a large selection of the fish that's freshest that day.

2008 | Sushi

In 1974, an article in The New York Times calculated that there were 100 Japanese restaurants in the city, a number that had exploded from just 10 in 1964. ("With a gusto once reserved for chow mein and egg foo young, New Yorkers are now dipping their chopsticks into another Oriental taste treat--Japanese cuisine," chirped the article.) By the time the '80s rolled around, it had become a certifiable craze. Now, of course, you can get a sushi fix for $450 a pop at Masa, or pick it up pre-... More »

Park Slope's Taro Sushi Bigger, Slicker, Just as Good

By Sarah DiGregorio | Mon, October 4, 2010

When a beloved hole-in-the-wall upgrades a bigger, shinier location, it's always anxiety-provoking. Will the place be as good as before? In the case of Taro Sushi, the anxiety was doubled--the restaur... More »

Taro Sushi Will Open Its Flatbush Avenue Location by the End of the Month

By Rebecca Marx | Tue, September 7, 2010

Taro Sushi is an institution in Park Slope, thanks to its impeccably fresh raw fish and such rarefied options as natto and monkfish liver. So it was relatively big news in the neighborhood when word ... More »
Signature Foods of the 1980’s

By Robert Sietsema, Sarah DiGregorio | Wed, October 15, 2008

Before the Age of Foodism descended on us like manna from heaven—bringing with it a concern for food excellence rather than just novelty (or so we hope)—we were willing guinea pigs for a succession of food fads, many of them quite weird. Some, lik... More »

In 1974, an article in The New York Times calculated that there were 100 Japanese restaurants in the city, a number that had exploded from just 10 in 1964. ("With a gusto once reserved for chow mein and egg foo young, New Yorkers are now dipping their chopsticks into another Oriental taste treat - Japanese cuisine," chirped the article.) By the time the '80s rolled around, it had become a certifiable craze. Now, of course, you can get a sushi fix for $450 a pop at Masa, or pick it up pre-made at the supermarket for a few bucks. Sushi is still - and always will be for those of us without trust funds - a treat to be carefully balanced between value and quality. For our money, the best sushi in the city is at Taro, a bare-bones joint where you can sit at the sushi bar and have a beautifully fresh, skillfully executed omakase meal for $40.
