It's hard to add to anything meaningful to the review "Very Unfortunate" with which I agree wholeheartedly. While there used to be a long line of people waiting outside Sushi Taro, now there is nobody queuing to get in - and rightly so. Nothing is left of what was one of my favorite restaurants in town.

Sushi Taro used to be one of my favorite restaurants in DC, but now I am unlikely to ever return.

We went based on reviews here, in spite of a rather negative opinion by the concierge at the Hilton (mostly because they don't always take reservations), and we found an excellent and very authentic Japanese restaurant. Although our concierge felt we should anticipate a long line, there was no wait at all at 7pm on a Thursday (although the sign... more
