Taro Sushi Japanese Cuisine

Taro has become one of my main cravings these days, and not only because it is close to my home. In fact, I have gone to this sushi restaurant so many times that I need a break to make sure I don’t tire of it. It is a small, simple Japanese place located on the busy Finchley Road. People certainly don't come to Taro because of its charming location or for the hip décor, but simply for the good sushi. It is crowded every night of the week, so reservations are recommended. My usual order is the Salmon Avocado Maki, Scallop Nigiri and Nasu Dengaku, which is fried aubergine with miso sauce. The Prawn Tempura is also one of my favorites, and comes with little flakes of some unidentified crispy substance on top. Everything at Taro tastes very fresh and homemade. The sushi pieces aren’t perfectly rolled or presented, but that only adds to the feeling of this being home cooked sushi.

Loved loved loved the menu the flavours of Taro Sushi Japanese restaurant , Finchley Road . We enjoyed Everything we ordered from crab stick tobiko rolls to beef Bibimbaap My fav was the tuna salad, beef Bibimbaap the steamed vegetable dimsum unbelievably yummy) . the prawn and vegetable tempura were also very tasty but it lacked seasoning.. I highly recommend going and eating there They are also on Deliveroo .. but I recommend dining in Service was quick the waiting staff were very helpful.

We ordered both the prawn tempera set and the sashimi set for lunch and they were soooo good. Didn't have a photo for the latter because we dug in too quickly.

Our favourite local, family-run Japanese. The Sushi meal is excellent value for money (2 starters, grilled chicken skewers, sushi platter, miso soup, ice cream) and the quality of the food is consistently high.

Really great value and delicious food. The hot rice bowls were really impressive. There was plenty to choose from too. We went quite early in the evening and the restaurant was quite, service was good but the chef seemed to be in a very bad mood and was having a go at the staff. Not off-putting, just a bit odd.
