Sushi Taro sits at 1503 17th St NW in Northwest Washington, D.C., serving Edomae-style sushi in a dining room that has earned one Michelin star. The restaurant falls into the luxury price tier, reflecting the format and quality typical of a dedicated sushi omakase counter.
Service runs dinner only, Tuesday through Saturday. Hours vary slightly by day: Tuesday and Wednesday close at 9pm, Thursday at 9:30pm, and Friday and Saturday extend to 10pm. The restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday, so planning a visit around the midweek or weekend evening window is necessary.
Reservations are handled through Resy, which is the recommended way to secure a seat rather than calling or walking in. The restaurant is noted as English friendly, which can simplify both the booking process and ordering once seated. For current menu structure and exact pricing, contacting Sushi Taro directly or checking the Resy listing before booking is advisable, since those details are not fixed and can change.
Given its Michelin recognition and luxury tier, Sushi Taro is positioned as a destination sushi restaurant in the Washington, D.C. market rather than a casual stop. Diners planning a visit should confirm seat availability well ahead of time through Resy, particularly for Friday and Saturday dinner slots, which are likely to be the most requested given the extended hours on those nights.
