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.

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.
