Taro Catford is a Japanese restaurant at 2 Catford Broadway and the group’s eighth Greater London location. The approachable dining room is designed for everyday meals as well as occasions, with high chairs and children’s set menus supporting family visits.
Sushi and sashimi are prepared by specialist chefs, ranging from individual pieces to rolls and larger selections. Fresh fish, rice, seaweed and carefully chosen garnishes keep these dishes clean and balanced, whether ordered alone or as part of a wider meal.
Noodles, warming curries, rice bowls and small plates provide cooked alternatives. These sections allow a table to combine crisp starters, soup based dishes and more substantial mains, while vegetarian choices make the menu useful for mixed groups.
Service runs through lunch and dinner every day, making Taro a dependable option for both planned bookings and spontaneous meals. The restaurant suits diners seeking familiar Japanese favourites with enough variety to move beyond sushi alone.
