Comments

Just bumping this up. Any more voters?
Looks like Taro's winning so far (although it's pretty close). Your vote counts! -

Mrs. Carnivore and I are going to Applewood tonight (first time). Next time, we're definitely in! -

Japanese characters that didn't translate so well in code? I've got to take a raincheck too. I do want to see what the "best sushi in PH!" fuss is about. -

okay, well then. fine! no one wants to eat with me except (maybe) mystery question mark person. now to decide if I want Gen or Taro ...
I think I'll go with Gen. feel free to stalk me. -
I was trying to be clever. I also forgot to post the translating link. In short it says omakase style sushi at Taro around 7pm sounds fine.

ahh. hm. Taro *is* right by the train. maybe I'll go there. sushi bar, here I come! -

so, all y'all Gen lovers need to convince me!

Taro does indeed rock the house. I love that place so much. Darn it, it's been weeks since I've eaten there. Now I want dinner there tonight! Argh!

Carnivore,
Points for you! Taro was awesome.
Still like Gen but...... Taro! -
Go to Taro on Friday and Ssaturday nights. They get mainstream Japanese stuff like raw octopus and Japanese baby snapper, etc.
P.S. has anyone seen my hood? I lost it along with one of my cats. -
I just want to also put in a word for Taro's asparagus tempura rolls, for you vegetablarian types, or just carnivores who like asparagus. They're not listed on the menu but they ALWAYS have them. Yum!
-
their tofu/whitefish soup was absurdly good (I reheated the remaining portion later Tuesday night). I wonder if they have other awesome tofu dishes - I'm a carnivore who adores tofu.
-
I just tried their ( Taro ) grilled shitake mushroom appetizer. Very, very good. I think I shall go again tonight and make a sushi hog of myself.

Subject: taro
I got really sick in there once. should I hold it against them? -
It's just the nature of eating raw fish at a Japanese restaurant -- every so often you're going to get a bad cut.
Now, if you've been sick more than once from their food -- that's a different story, imho. -
yes, Taro Taro Taro
now can we get an AMEN from the Geido holdouts? -

lol........I disagree with this. If you go to a place that knows what they're doing, this should never happen.
I'd even go as far as to say that this is the mark between good and bad sushi restaraunts. -
Actually, how does one know the person got sick from Taro? There are a million and one ways to come down with something in NYC.

I went on a long walk today, and I realized that Taro was the place that I thought looked a little dubious from the other side of Flatbush. It's just something about the storefront... maybe it's the surrounding buildings... anyway, it looks like a little hole-in-the-wall where I'd be likely to get sick, but with all of the positive feedback, I guess that I'll have to get over it and give it a try!

I understand where you might get that impression, because you're right - it's such an odd location on a kind-of run-down block. However; Taro's awesome. Give it a shot. -
thank you all for the taro recommendations. the gf and i had lunch there the other day, and it was fan-freakin-tastic.
extra shout-out to apollonia for the asparagus tempura roll heads up. my, oh my.
i thought the eel/avocado was unusually nice as well.
i haven't voted yet b/c i haven't tried gen or geido, but taro's looking hard to beat.... -
taro -- best kept secret in brooklyn? i don't know how. it's too good and too cheap and everyone is too nice. it's like.. heaven.
Granted I've only tried Geido and Yamato around here -- but from the looks of it, none of the other ones are even worth my time or my palate.
However, I noticed that fuji-san on seventh ave got revamped, renamed and repriced and at least looks decent. Does anyone have a report from the front? -
I voted for Taro in this poll a month ago or so.
I don't understand the 14 votes for Geido. Don't get me wrong, I like Geido. I like the katsu, the soups, the specials, and the funky vibe and good service -- but this poll was about SUSHI -- that is raw fish on top of rice and maki rolls. In that category, IMO Taro outperforms Geido.
MJR -
Some of the places with no votes are very good . . .
Tamari on Fifth Ave at Union has excellent rolls (no sushi)
and great udon soups
but you only get one vote so . . . Taro!
depends on where you are when you're hungry
I love Blue Ribbon Sushi, but it's in a different $$ stratosphere -

to straighten out this mess........rolls, "fish-on-rice" sushi, and "fish-by-itself" are ALL sushi. -

balls!
fish by itself is sashimi. -
I went to Kiku again last night and I second and third my vote.
Mind you, I love rolls so that what I have. They have this Kiku roll that is Chilean Sea Bass, ginger and avocado with fried onions on top. They also have these "dragon" rolls. I had the golden dragon which was eel and avocado with mango on top. Check it out!!!!
Howdy, Stranger!
