Master Critic Review

Tiparos Thai Cuisine & Sushi Bar 8.1
Old Town
A Thai-and-sushi hybrid that’s quietly strong on maki variety, especially when you treat it like a roll-focused stop rather than an everything-menu order. The best results come from choosing one signature roll and one classic maki, then calling it.
Must-Try Dishes: Dragon maki, Crunchy Spicy Tuna maki, Volcano maki
