About TARO - WALTHAMSTOW
On High St in Walthamstow, TARO occupies a former pie and mash shop and keeps the original interior intact. The menu runs to 23 dishes across rice bowls and noodles, including a Chicken Teri Don, Salmon Teri Don, and Unaju Grilled Eel, alongside ramen, gyoza, and takoyaki. A separate sushi list covers tuna steak, squid sashimi, and tempura roll, and vegan and vegetarian options sit throughout the menu. Staff ask about allergy status when orders are taken. The restaurant opens daily and runs on a walk-in basis rather than table reservations.

“Always an amazing meal and service here. The sweetest most vigilant staff and delicious food. Range of vegan and vegetarian options and the freshest sushi - I recommend the tuna steak and squid sashimi. A very special thank you Junko and the team for taking care of us and being so attentive to our needs🩷”

“Discovered this amazing authentic Japanese Cuisine called Taro in the heart of Walthamstow Market. It’s used to be an old pie and mash shop that was now converted into a Japanese restaurant. We were greeted with the most charming and welcoming smile from their manager Tim. He manages the place well as it’s very clean. Although we came very early than the opening time, yet he kindly told us to come back after half an hour. His staff were well mannered and had asked for our allergy status which is upholding Health and Food Safety. Thank you. The food was freshly prepared and piping hot. We ordered Prawn Siomai, Tantan Noodles and Pork Katsu Don. Guess what? They’re all delicious, tasty and very affordable. Taro Walthamstow is a 5 Star!!! We will visit again. Special mention to Tim as an excellent manager. 👍🏼”
