Taro? Really?.
I found this sushi spot, rated as one of the best in the area, on a few different sites. Blech. It was mediocre sushi-wise, just plain old sooshi and in keeping with the health dept cr*ck down that
requires rice to be at least 70 degrees upon serving.This is a despicable assault on food in general by those who claim to protect us from disease. Why would you put hot rice around cold raw seafood, bringing it up to the sluggish temps at which bacteria can breed. Hopefully not Taro's fault.
My beef Teriyaki was not Teriyaki at all. The meat was ok, not a bad cut, but in no way was there a lick of Teriyaki sauce on it. It was almost an English stewed beef flavor, perhaps masking a vintage age on the flank steak? The addition was exactly 2 florettes of brocolli, a carrot stick and a swirl of actual spaghetti pasta with a shmeg of gomasio sprinkled on top.
If this is really a great sushi spot they are having an off night, and yes I know I spoke mainly about entrees but I had super boring hot sushi and I don't claim to be an expert but I did go to Japanese school for 6 years and have what I think is a pretty good idea of Japanese flavors.…
FIshy in a bad way. I don't understand what the other reviewers are raving about. I tried this sushi place solely because it was given such high reviews from others and this page and I was very disappointed. I ordered a spicy tuna roll that was completely inedible. It tasted very fishy and I thought it might have gone bad. The sushi pieces were a little better but not by much. The white fish had many visible veins in it, which was completely unappetizing. The food wasn't that much cheaper than the many sushi places in park slope that have much better fish. I ended up tossing most of the order.…
Very Disappointing. We ordered takeout based upon the great reviews. The first impression was that it had a bit of a fishy smell, not what you want out of sushi. We had the sushi deluxe and a tempura roll. It cost us $25, there was hardly any sashimi on top of the rice and the rolls were at no point impressive. We have had much better sushi in a larger quantity at the same cost on Smith St. We will not be returning to Taro anytime in the near future.…
