A Master Craftsman's Vision
Sushi Taro stands as a testament to culinary excellence under the leadership of Chef Noi, whose 16 years of experience in sushi preparation have earned him international recognition. In 2013, Noi was personally selected by Mr. Kazato, the owner of AJSA—Japan's only state-recognized sushi school—to represent Denmark in the World Sushi Championship. This distinction reflects the exceptional standards he maintains at his restaurant. Chef Noi meticulously selects every ingredient that enters the kitchen, transforming raw materials into carefully composed dishes that engage all the senses. Alongside him, Chef Su brings nine years of sushi expertise and is celebrated throughout Copenhagen for her signature teriyaki sauce and refined technique.Unwavering Commitment to Quality and Hygiene
At Sushi Taro, the kitchen is the highest priority, and this philosophy permeates every aspect of operations. The restaurant maintains impeccable hygiene standards and handles all ingredients with meticulous care, ensuring that each dish meets exacting quality benchmarks. The open kitchen design allows diners to witness the precision and artistry behind their meal, creating transparency and confidence in the preparation process. This dedication to food safety and ingredient quality has become a hallmark of the establishment, distinguishing it from competitors and reinforcing its reputation.Intimate Atmosphere Rooted in Japanese Culture
The dining space at Sushi Taro is thoughtfully designed to evoke the essence of Japanese culture, creating an atmosphere that complements the culinary experience.

This recognition reflects years of dedication to maintaining the highest standards.A Family-Owned Legacy
Operating as a family-owned establishment, Sushi Taro maintains a personal touch that larger restaurants cannot replicate. This structure allows Chef Noi and his team to maintain direct control over every element of the operation, from ingredient selection to kitchen management to guest interaction.
