Sushi Taro sits on 17th Street in Dupont Circle, built around an omakase counter. Michelin awarded the restaurant one star in 2017, 2018, and 2019, and included it again in the 2022 guide's selections, though without a star that year. The restaurant's chef was named a James Beard Foundation Best Chef semifinalist in both 2017 and 2019.
Regulars often single out the cooked, seasonal courses served alongside the raw fish as a particular strength, discussed with as much enthusiasm as the sushi itself. Washingtonian named Sushi Taro to its 2025 best-of list, keeping it in the rotation of Washington's Japanese dining conversation.
