Taro Pimlico is a Japanese restaurant at 1 Churton Street, within an easy walk of both Pimlico and Victoria stations. Opened in 2022, it offers everyday Japanese dining for lunch and dinner and is conveniently placed for sightseeing, theatre trips and neighbourhood meals.
Fresh sushi and sashimi are central to the menu, ranging from individual pieces and rolls to selections suited to sharing. The kitchen emphasises clean flavours and careful texture, with fish, rice, seaweed, vegetables and Japanese seasonings combined across a broad choice of dishes.
Warming noodle bowls, homemade bento and crisp tempura provide more substantial alternatives. Bento brings several components together in one meal, while sides and small plates make it easy to add variety or share dishes among a group.
Sake and Japanese beer complement the food, and dine in service is joined by delivery for meals at home. Guests with allergies should consult the current menu and speak with the restaurant because soy, sesame, gluten, fish and shellfish are common across Japanese cooking and shared preparation areas.
