Taste: Taro

Taro offers a simple menu in a simple environment. One third of the restaurant is an open-plan kitchen where from the sushi-counter you can watch a chef-ballet of preparing and cooking. The place is full every day of the week, however service is fast and the wait is never long (good, as the waiting area is on the street).

Taro's special is Teryaki chicken and it is amazing. One order, extra sauce (40p) and rice on the side with gyoza or a couple rolls is enough for two people at lunch. Otherwise there are many different and huge soup-noodle options.

It's authentic, inexpensive and great - my favorite lunchtime restaurant.
