Taro

Taro Soho serves authentic, unfussy Japanese food on the streets of Soho. The menu sticks to the classics: ramen, sushi and noodles, all made with fresh, good-quality ingredients. The cooking is kept simple so the natural flavours come through.

The dining room is bright and airy, with communal tables that give the place a casual, friendly feel and encourage people to share a meal together. It works as well for a quick lunch as it does for a sit-down dinner, which is partly why both locals and visitors keep coming back. The ramen is the standout, with a rich broth and well-cooked noodles, while the sushi, bento boxes and small plates earn plenty of praise too.
