Emily CMay 22, 2016don't understand the mediocre reviews of Taro. this place is great and I'm generally a picky sushi eater. really fresh fish and awesome staff. order what's fresh. sushi sashimi combo is delish
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014The fish is as pristine and skillfully prepared as at any of the expense sushi places in Manhattan. Sit at the bar for omakase, a relative bargain, and munch your way through earthy monkfish liver. Read more
The Corcoran GroupDecember 5, 2013Come with a date & get the Special Sushi for 2. It includes 16 pieces of sushi, a shrimp tempura roll & a mountain roll (spicy tuna, avocado & yellowtail) - all for $49. Everything is super fresh too!
DailyCandyFebruary 14, 2014Bypass the lines at Geido and mosey down Flatbush Avenue for equally satisfying sushi at Taro. Dark, wood fixtures and minimal design provide a moody backdrop for indulgences like toro tartar.
CarolMarch 4, 2020Delicious sushi place worth the wait! I joked with the chef about sampling the fish and he actually gave me a sample!
Great fish at reasonable prices! The rolls are good and the fish/rice are well prepared. Try the scallop sushi for a treat.
Chelsea RenaudMay 9, 2016Every neighborhood has their go-to casual sushi spot, and Taro is exactly that. Very fresh, reasonably priced, and a nice enough environment.
Stina P.August 30, 2017very fresh sushi and great affordable local neighborhood spot - order delivery or grab a seat at the sushi bar
Ina LiAugust 31, 2018Above average sushi joint with affordable, fresh offerings. Eel sushi is a must!
Quite possibly the nicest staff & manager I've ever met. They accidentally overcharged my card, I brought it to their attention, they apologized so much & are now treating me to a free dinner.
Shaherose CharaniaOctober 12, 2015Ask what's fresh that day, and get it. Consistently impressed with the freshness coupled with warm service
best sushi in the slope. ask them what's fresh and treat yoself to a couple pieces of chu toro.
LukeNovember 2, 2017Special sushi for two is an easy win, but don’t expect to have a lot of appetite left to try their specials
Killer omakase. Get the special sushi for two to share amongst three is you get apps. They will make it for three as well.
Jane KatzMay 22, 2015get the rainbow roll! all of the sushi is fresh, nothing is outstanding. Something a bit off about their rice too- kinda dry- Danielle BoudreauJanuary 6, 2016Loved the spicy scallop roll! Pair with a roll with some crunch and some sake and you've got an awesome meal.
Jay G.May 18, 2011Delicious. However, default soy sauce is super salty. You can ask for low sodium if you like. Great Miso soup and you must try the Karen roll and Age Gyoza.
RobynNovember 8, 2013Everything was perfect - try to get the lunch special if you can, it's a great value for such quality.- Jenn SoAugust 18, 2014great lunch special. favorite sushi place in my neighborhood. ume shiso hirame roll & agedashi tofu
Best sushi in the Slope. Great chirashi bowl and the Salmon Lover set is incredible.
Paul MayJuly 15, 2013Taro is great. I really like the 3 oyster special as a starter (on the menu frequently).
My neighborhood sushi spot. My go-to dish is the massive special sushi for 2. There's also great little 4-piece sushi ensembles.
YvonneMarch 18, 2014Real crab California roll. Get it and you will never eat regular California rolls again.
Get the daily specials. You can get your shrimp head fried when you're done.
The special sushi for two is always perfect. As is the monkfish liver and age tofu!- Denise LumSeptember 9, 2013Agedashi Tofu is good for sharing; decent sushi; red bean mochi was yummy
Jeff ColesSeptember 17, 2013It has been a long time since I've had sushi this good in New York. The udon is worth it too.
the only place in Brooklyn I know of that serves my favorite - natto roll!
- Karen ThompsonFebruary 4, 2010Don't even want to write a tip because I want Taro to remain a tasty relative unknown. Fresh, delicious sushi. Unique. Awesome. Love this place.
Such an awesome omakase here. Best sushi in all of Brooklyn!
Taty SenaDecember 6, 2011Mediocre. The sushi was just fine. The avoc. tofu salad was not good. Spider roll just tasted like fried batter. Geido,1 block up, is authentic & better. Kiku on 5th ave has the best sushi around.- Taty SenaDecember 6, 2011Mediocre. The sushi was just fine. The avoc. tofu salad was not good. Spider roll just tasted like fried batter.

Bradley AllenNovember 15, 2010Try the Sushi or Tuna Plate special, or both - so good. But each only come with 4pcs.
