There is something about sushi that just makes me smile. It's clean, simple and satisfies my craving for something exotic. Yet with its popularity in the United States, especially in New York City, an abundance of, well, crap takes over the market. And then there are the spots that rape your wallet.
And then there's Taro.
Recently relocated and swankified, Taro is a sushi restaurant that works on all levels. The staff is amiable and approachable, the new venue is streamlined and polished, and the food shines. Though slightly more expensive (by only about one dollar per entree), the restaurant remains one of my favorite spots in all of New York. Oh, and better yet--it's in Brooklyn.
There's really not much more to say. Go. Try it. Now.
