    Le KGB feels very California to me. Light, airy and friendly. The art on the walls is colorful and cheery. The staff is friendly and quite welcoming. And of course, there are Asian touches found throughout the cuisine like lemongrass, dashi broth, coconut milk. Very global clientele. The tasting menu is wonderful and innovative, but I wish you didn't get 5 courses at once. Although it makes for a "strong" opening, the "end" comes abruptly. Here are your two desserts, the end, which arrive together. I actually preferred the dessert of the 8 course instead of the 10 course menu -- looking at what my neighbors had. The difference between the 8 and 10 is an extra dessert, and a pasta dish. My favorite dishes from the tasting menu include the first 5 courses and squid pasta. The cod tasted mushy the whole way through, a texture commonly achieved through sous vide which admittedly is not my favorite. The wild boar was too chewy and tough. I found it inedible, so my friend ate it. Every dish is artistically plated, as you can see from the photographs. Although the food was superb, unfortunately everyone was still hungry when the check arrived.

    I can't remember everything here but it was amazing!! 5 appetizer dishes, which are part of the discovery menu.

    I loved this restaurant so much, I ate here twice in my two weeks in Paris. The first night I tried the discovery menu. It's a fixed menu for €68 or so and it is most definitely worth it. The dishes are imaginative, delicious, and show great attention to detail. I can't name all of the appetizers that we had but all 5 were fabulous. The main portion of the meal came with the rabbit in curry sauce and the shrimp tempura and squid in a squid ink reduction sauce. AAAAAMAZING! We retuned the second time and split 3 appetizers and had a full dish of the squid and the rabbit. The service is very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant when I visit again.

    Comme Chez Soi is an Asian buffet restaurant. I visited this place a Saturday night. The staff were…read morefriendly. It has good selections of stir fried seafood, meat and vegetables, excellent desserts, and okay sushi. The raw bar is a little questionable to me. I don't know if there is any decent asian buffet in either San Francisco or Boston area, and as far as I know this place is better than what remains in either area.

    I'll be straight up honest here - my favorite part about Comme Chez Soi is that, being a buffet,…read moreit's a lot more time efficient than dining out elsewhere in Paris. Sometimes you just want to get your food, chow down, pay and bounce as quickly as possible. Maybe it's because you've spent the day walking around. Or you're getting home super late from work. The last thing you want is an hour plus long meal experience, but you also don't want fast food. The food is fine here, if a bit random. There's a big ham leg in the middle, some simple sushi, fried items, salads, cheeses. I like the ice cream and fruit selection they have. They also have a grill in the back where they will cook up stuff fresh for you. Go for the mushrooms and steak. However, it's not really clear when your food is ready or if someone will bring it to you. Other than that though, the service is generally good. The staff here seem to be really interested in people's places of origin...they were surprised I was Filipino American and asked me to teach them some Tagalog words. If you're in Paris on vacation, this is far from a destination spot. But if you're just tired as hell, it's a welcome sight.

    This is my first review of a restaurant ever, but I wanted to share my experience eating at Chez…read moreMademoiselle for the first time last night with a group of eleven friends. Having been to Kazakhstan before for a work trip, I first approached the owners, Joe and Laurent, to see if they could make a traditional Kazakh meal, beshbarmak, even though it is not on the restaurant's regular menu. (Beshbarmak is a noodle dish with lamb and a Kazakh horse sausage). They readily agreed, but as it involves extra work, I promised to round up some people. Joe and Laurent were fantastic hosts. They prepared different menus for us because some wanted to try the beshbarmak, while others wanted the regular Russian/Central Asian menu, or a vegetarian option. Ultimately six people tried the beshbarmak, three went with the regular menu, and two chose a vegetarian option (which, by the way, is also on the regular menu). Everyone enjoyed the food, whether they ordered Kazakh or Russian dishes. For the starter, a contingent (including me) had the eggplant, tomato, and garlic appetizer, which was garlicky and delicious. One person enjoyed the restaurant's variation on a Russian favorite --herring under a fur coat--here made with salmon. The most popular choice for our group was the pirozhki (apparently the French transliteration is pirojki), which are beef and onion pastries. They quickly disappeared, along with the enticing potato and vegetable salad that accompanied them. For the main attraction, the beshbarmak eaters were all pleased. Two of us had eaten the dish while in Kazakhstan, and the rest were eager to try it. The chef, Joe, told us that the dish was homemade, including the noodles, and we had to eat everything fast before it became cold. We did! Although the portions are big, we just managed to finish our plates (although some needed a little help from their friends). The people who ordered from the regular menu were also happy with their choices, especially the manti. They looked delicious - juicy beef dumplings covered in red bell peppers. Finally, the vegetarians were also well treated, with hearty, flavorful potato dumplings with mushrooms. (After eating the beshbarmak, I finished my wife's dumplings, as she was full). As a group, we were unfortunately too full to order many desserts, but my wife and I split the napoléon, a mille feuille cake. As Joe and Laurent had learned over the course of the meal that the Kazakh-inspired gathering was also connected with my birthday, they kindly turned our dessert into a mini-birthday cake with a candle and also gave me a box of chocolates from Kazakhstan along with a book of beautiful pictures of the country. I should also say that Joe and Laurent have a fondness for Russian speakers. Fortunately, one of us actually speaks Russian and was able to charm them with a flawlessly recited poem, which Joe also knew by heart. As we had closed down the restaurant, they gave us a shot of vodka, turned on some Russian music, and even sang with us a bit before we left. All in all, everyone in the group had a wonderful evening, and we agreed that we would gladly go again. You should too!
