Taro

Visited for lunch earlier today for the first time in a long time. It was super busy but there was space next to the kitchen. Service was fast and the staff were helpful and friendly. Food was delicious as always and I had the vegetable curry with the Honey Yuzu tea.

It's great to be back, as always—tasty, authentic Japanese dishes cooked and prepped to perfection. The Sushi 🍣 is ok, but lacks freshness and flavour and is a bit bland; overall, it is great food. PS area to improve; - The service is slow, - Even though empty tables all around, they intentionally make you stand at the door, - Toilets are in desperate need of renovation; it’s Disgusting. - They have added so many tables that it is pretty tricky to move around, and they almost sit on each other laps.

Japanese food lovers if you are in London this place is a Must. Great food at a reasonable price without losing quality. Love it and would love to have it everyday at my doorstep.

Cozy Japanese noodle & sushi bar. I had a chicken ramen and 4 chicken gyoza. Everything was delicious. Service was also very friendly, quick and professional. Recommended if you are around soho.

The food was exceptional and arrived very quickly. Our booking was for 7pm, the restaurant was absolutely heaving at this point (which is a good sign that the restaurant is popular!) but I think they could have had 10 less people in the restaurant so it’s not too crammed and there’s still space to manoeuvre around, as I was tucked away into a corner I couldn’t get to the toilet easily, as well as so many people being in there it was hard to hear my groups conversation and that was quite annoying. My chicken ramen was delicious and my friends meals that included tofu dishes, vegetable curries and bento boxes looked very tasty. Would definitely come here for food again 😋🍜 but perhaps at a quieter time.

Homely no frills Japanese restaurant that serves fresh sushi in central London for such reasonable prices. My second time here and I love their chirashi bowl A. Their sashimi and nigiri is always really fresh as well. Service is amazing and prompt. Tends to get quite busy on weekends, so expect to queue for 20 minutes or more especially during dinner time. But it’s well worth the wait imo.

Always love coming to the original Taros. Made a reservation and worth it as it gets very busy. When we left there was a queue and it was Tuesday evening. Taro bento box ands beef teriyaki bento box always great as you get a bit of everything. Noisy and busy and small seating but so worth it.

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in London, I was told by an employee at the checkout that the service charge was not removable, however I didn't see anything on the menu about a mandatory service charge. Other than that, after having diarrhea once in the evening after spicy tuna sushi, ramen noodles that were all pasty, and almost all of the dishes were pre-made, I will never come back to this restaurant again!
