Hi everyone,

So today I want to feature a nice little Japanese place that was recommended to me by a friend. She suggested going to a place called Sushi-taro a little off Dupont Circle because it was one of the very few places that offered authentic sushi, and in this regard she was quite right. Washington is pretty lacking in the sushi department, but this place was quite good. I wouldn’t say it was as good as Makoto (featured earlier in my blog), but it’s still pretty authentic and delicious. I’d say the two things that could use improving are the pretty expensive prices and the “okay” service. As with all sushi in DC, Sushi-taro’s sushi is over-priced, but this is forgivable because it tastes good and is pretty authentic (according to my girlfriend again, not me…and she’s Japanese so I wouldn’t argue with her ). Anyways, the second thing of course was the “okay” service, which was good, but not what I expected for the kind of place that Sushi-taro is. It’s a strange feel because Sushi-taro seems to border on a very nice restaurant but also seems to be slightly casual at the same time. The servers aren’t very engaging, and most of them lack any kind of table talk or the ability to hold a decent conversation with the guests. Of course, there have been a couple of servers who have been extremely nice, and I’m sure all of them are nice people, but some could use some lessons with the small talk - if only to make the experience less awkward.

In any case, I had a good meal (of course a little pricey), but the experience on the whole was a good one (and is usually a good one whenever I go).

I suggest checking it out!
