Excellent sushi experience. Everything was fresh and tasted delicious. Must try this place for your sushi cravings. Prices are not bad either. Staff was friendly and nice. Would definitely recommend for date night or just dinner with friends.

Tara is a hidden gem on northern blvd just before Long Island. This middle ground is usually where all the residents of Long Island and Flushing can meet up for the best omakase experience of their life. Not only is all their fish imported from Japan overnight but they never fail to impress me with their innovative plating. Of course, this place is a drinking area perfect for after work but it crosses with fine dining and and a comfortable atmosphere. The head chef, Oscar is a sushi genius, if you will, always coming up with the prettiest way to appreciate good fish. Don’t forget to ask for their special menu or try the omakase.

Very very strong quality for the price here. They source premium ingredients so there’s a good range — you can spend $30 or $100 and be happy with both. Definitely the best sushi in the neighborhood, highly recommend

Tara sushi is HANDS DOWN the best Japanese restaurant in the Bayside Littleneck area. Quite possibly even the BEST in QUEENS.

Very good. Go early and you’ll have your pick of table! Food is on another level. Soooo delicious. The people that run this establishment CARE!!!! It’s such a big deal to eat somewhere filled with pride. I’ll be back for sure, for the food and ambiance. This could be the best Japanese spot in the city.

Pleasantly surprised! We tried the $48 happy hour omakase ($48!) and found the quality of the fish to be excellent. Favorites were the sea bream, chutoro and totoro, of course. The fish was silky, creamy and fresh! The scallop was delicious too but the yuzu jelly was a bit overpowering. Props to them for creativity there though. The uni flight (California, Hokkaido, Maine) was also excellent of you love uni. The monkfish appetizer was also really fun with the sauce served in a little squeezable infuser tube.

Me and my family went there for ramen. As for those experience, the half-boiled egg isn’t marinated as expected and is plain. The spicy ramen broth is basically the use of kimchi powered flavor. My normal non-spicy broth tastes like plain based vegetable broth. The meat on it has a great sear, but overall expectation was a disappointment and for the price and not the kind I want to fully empty the bowl to.
