The food was amazing . The staff were all fantastic friendly and also so accommodating to us . I highly recommend this wonderful place to everyone . A big thank you to the staff Everything was cooked and presented perfectly. My salmon teriyaki bento box was amazing . I love salmon. The only thing was we could of walked out and not paid because we were waiting so long to pay , we went to the bar and told them we had not paid. Which was not good.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Taro Walthamstow! The tempura eel avocado roll was perfectly crisp on the outside with rich, melt-in-your-mouth eel inside — easily one of the best I’ve had in London. The ebi gyoza were spot on too, with juicy prawns and a delicate, well-seasoned filling. A special shout-out to Junko, Pradeep, and Daniel for their warm, attentive, and professional service — they made the meal even more enjoyable. This is definitely my go-to spot for sushi and Japanese comfort food in Walthamstow. Highly recommend!

Beautiful place with great atmosphere and cozy booths. The food is decent, but not great. Probably a bit too much dishes on the menu.
