Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Super nice small adress in le marais. A bit off the main roads which means more locals then tourists. Food was fresh and tasty. Their signature fish was outstanding. Good value for money ! Nice terrasse at the front of the place."
"The best ramen in the Marais, bar none! And the friendliest staff to boot. Have been coming for years and it never disappoints"
"We visited this gorgeous little restaurant for dinner in Feb 26 and it was amazing. Friendly staff, delicious food, efficient service and very reasonable prices. I can recommend the udon noodle ramen and dragon sushi rolls!"
"The food is just amazing! We went to this restaurant twice in the same week just to have that Udon soup again. friendly staff and the service is perfect and fast. You cannot book in advance and the place is really small so you need a bit of luck"
"Great food with wonderful service. We took the oden soup, chu toro sashimi, and two special rolls, one with almond and one with mango. Highly recommend."
"Small hidden gem japanese restaurant in the marais. Everything was delicious. Service with their staff, especially with Jean are helpful. Ramen tastes wonderful. Well recommended."
"*update photos 2025 My favorite Japanese restaurant in Paris! They only bring red quality salmon and their prices are medium (almost the same with a normal sushi place in the city). Almost everything in the menu is excellent, but I highly recommend the Shake and Shake Nagi. I also love the edamame, and in this place they really taste like the original Japanese ones. As a soft drink I recommend the green tea without sugar or if it’s in the winter the hot green tea (excellent!). For desert you need to the mochi (the one with green tea!)! Photos with all these attached. Location is excellent, just next to Hôtel de Ville and close to Notre Dame, which makes it a very good place to stop for lunch or dinner, in between tourist activities. Since the size of the restaurant is quite small (around 36-40 places) their interior design is simple and clean with many Japanese like ornaments. I also attached photos of the menu (23.06.2019). Overall, I highly recommend this place."
"I tried the seafood don and it was very delicious. Many types of fish were served and all were very fresh. It was value for money because the portion was so BIG! You must try if you wanna experience great Japanese food in Paris. And the staff (or the boss) were very friendly."
