Sushi Taro

It’s no wonder this sushi stalwart remains a favorite among Japanese expats and diplomats. In addition to premium nigiri—see the specials list for the freshest imports from Japan and beyond—the kitchen’s skills are wide-­ranging, from housemade udon noodles to squid-ink “fish and chips” tempura. The hidden-away omakase counter is one of the most exclusive and special reservations in town. No more than two parties are seated at a time, each with a personal sushi chef preparing peak-season and high-end seafood until you say stop.
