I came by myself while traveling for work and snagged a seat at the bar at 5:30 on a Thursday (they fill up quickly) and it was just ok. The lobster croquettes were probably the best part (special). They said they only had Japanese uni which is $24 for two pieces of sushi, I had that and ikura sushi and fatty tuna plus edamame. All decent but I wouldn't say it was worth the price.

Sushi Taro3/29/22This night, for the first time, I had a very dear friend join me for the night out. And so his voice is also in my review!His first observation: Frantic jazz bossanova music. And in the bathroom, the Muzak was stop and start with whale songs. I didn't hear them myself when I went, but it was... odd music...We both did the Tasting menu:First course :Mussels, broccoli Rabe, Sun choke, miso mustard wasabi sauce. So much flavor!! Like , just stop with the overload, but really give me more!!!Baby squid with fiddlehead fern and green bean, sesame paste. I don't know what to say. It was tasty. But salty and kinda weird that I was eating a baby squid. But the flavors were so much more than expected. In a good way. Wow. I was not expecting this. So pleasantly surprised!!! A new culinary experience that was truly impressive. The flavor combinations defy description except: just eat it!!! You'll know. Soup:Fish broth clear soup w/ snow crab and scallop cake and Woodear mushroom. Flavorful, delicate, but firm. I have said it before: Japanese soup for the stupid American. But better! Holy god of soup. Just. That. Sushi course that defies description. Yellow tail, olive oil, wasabi stem, edible flowers truffle saltOyster, shallot, fatty tuna, yellow tail, ocean trout, horse mackerel. But damn. My culinary eye. This course was understandingly perfect. Everything just worked!Amber Jack, wild snapper, wild stone bass, Arctic char with cherry blossom Three white fish and then, what?? It was really ok, ok, ok, and then WOW!Duke tuna soy marinated with ginger, striped Jack, sweet shrimp, salmon roe there's just. Damn. Really? Non words. Chan Chan yaki. The miso butter!!! To die for!! Just. Nothing. But. The flaming miso butter. Presentation is spectacular!! Fatty tuna and scallion roll, taco, tamago, unagi.Everything just doesn't stop! It just goes and goes and goes and elevates and elevates and elevates!

Tried the Kaiseki tasting menu (added wagyu nigiri because it's Japanese wagyu, and how could I not?)! It was so good and so worth it. Everything was delicious and had nice timing. I've done a lot of omakase meals recently, and I've noticed with tasting style menus that timing does have an effect on the experience sometimes. I'll add my photos with captions, but let's just say I loved everything. The food, the service, atmosphere is all good. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Just wished I lived here to visit more often!

My family took me there because I told them that I miss Japanese food (I'm from Japan). This is authentic! Will come back again.

as much as i wanted to really love this restaurant, it honestly is not worth the price. for restaurant week, we picked this place for sushi because it was highly rated and it was a Michellen star restaurant. so you would think any restaurant that has a michellen star is worth it right? think again.when we walked in, the ambiance did have feeling that the food was going to be good. we sat down at our table, then sat, and still sat waiting to be served. finally, after the waitress came and took our order, we thought it would be quick. the menu is a fixed menu. nope...not at all.by the time the first course came, it took no more than two minutes to complete because we were starving. however, those plates sat at our table empty. by the time the main course came, we sat at our table at least an hr, where my wife wanted to order more food. "kitchen closed" did we know the kitchen was closed? did our server tell us last call? NO and NO. we had no notice that it was last call and we couldn't order more food. so what happened? we left the restaurant hungry and upset that a michellen star restaurant didn't have any good service and the sushi was worth the price. why do you need to add soy sauce to expensive nigiri. u shouldn't need to. it should have already been mixed for you. wish we had a better experience, but honestly would never come back. the sushi is not worth the price.

Everything was amazing. The best chutoro sashimi I ever had. All the dishes on the tasting menu were very interesting. I have been in many omakase and Japanese restaurants but I always feel amazed every time the waitress brought the food. The waitress was very nice explaining all the dishes which were on the menu. I definitely come back when I'm in town and highly recommended this restaurant!

We sat in the bar area and ordered off their a la cart menu. The waiter was very helpful and we chose the majority of his recommendations. They had specialty winter only fish and it was absolutely an experience! Definitely get the arctic char & premium yellowtail. We also heard someone ordering Matcha creme brûlée so we will try that next time.
