Ce restaurant japonais propose un véritable voyage des sens vers le Japon. Au menu se côtoient une grande variété de sushi, sashimi et autres spécialités du pays préparées par un jeune chef déjà très expérimenté. Le Thon utilisé n'est que du Thon Albacore. Un service à emporter permet de déguster chez soi tous ces plats en bénéficiant d'une réduction de 10% et une salle privée style tatami est disponible pour les repas d'affaires, les groupes ou les événements familiaux. Côté décoration, le Japon est également mis à l'honneur. Aux murs tout d'abord où des tableaux traditionnels sont exposés, et plusieurs écrans sont mis en place et diffusent des reportages et documentaires sur le pays. Dans l'atmosphère ensuite, où le bois, les lumières tamisées et une impression de tranquillité règnent et apportent une ambiance zen.

In something like 30 minutes they took our order. The food was DELICIOUS. Fried pork dumplings were fairly delicate and tasty. The green beans were very spicy and wonderful. Salt and pepper shrimp another success. Minced pork Peking style was tender and succulent. Last dish was fantastic: fried rice à la maison. Highly recommend this unlikely treasure. Make a reservation!

The server was sweet and attentive and the food was good enough to satisfy a craving. The spring roll was better than the pho and was served with a good peanut dipping sauce. The pho did not come with the standard plate of additions, nor did they have hoisin or sriracha to add. However, as others have noted, the beef was tender and the broth was tasty enough on its own (though, I prefer to make it quite a bit spicier with jalapenos, lime, and sriracha). Recommended to scratch that itch for Asian food if in Aix. Their dining area is small, but service is solid.

I had the beef Pho and it was delicious! It had the sophisticated Hanoian flavor, which is hard to come by, even in the U.S. Different cuts of beef including the thinly sliced flank steak (my absolute favorite- best to eat it before it's completely cooked or leave in the broth to cook if you prefer). Got some "nem" for appertizer and they were perfect! Just like how my mama makes them back home. The restaurant is clean and bright. Good price and quick attentive service as well. If you're in Aix and like Vietnamese cuisine, this restaurant is a must!

Most of my stay in Aix-en-Provence I was sick with a severe case of food poisoning. It lasted about 10 days before I was finally able to get a doctor to prescribe an antibiotic. Naruto was there because they make an excellent ramen. I highly recommend ordering any of them. They are on the mark authentic to what you can get in Japan. While I wasn't able to try any of their other dishes, I highly suspect they are on par with their ramen as Naruto is always packed. From the moment they open, all the tables are filled with customers. It doesn't matter what day of the week nor time of day. They are busy, busy, busy. The owner is a fun character, who enjoys being silly. He clearly takes preparing his meals seriously though. Check out his business cards. They will make you smile. He's something of a local celebrity. And you can see this is true fore he has that certain charisma that draws you into his world.

After weeks of Spanish and French food, my cravings for Asian food could no longer be ignored…read more I noticed they have Vietnamese fondue which is basically "bo 7 mon" (aka 7 courses of beef) minus the other 6 dishes. It's pretty straight forward - you get a warm bowl of water to dip the dry rice paper in. Then you place your rice paper on your plate (key is to keep the dish dry) and load up on vegetables. you get a vinegar broth to cook the meat in and once meat is cooked, you place it on top of your vegetables / rice paper. Start rolling your own rolls and dip in the fish sauce. The rice paper is too small to try to fold it all on 4 sides. At home, I eat this quite a bit (of course, a bit different) so I was happy to see this so close to our place. Ordering was very straight forward. Service is attentive. Bonus: the owner speaks Vietnamese, some waitresses speak Chinese, most speak English, and all of them speak French. You can't go wrong. The Vietnamese fondue hit the spot for us and brought me back home in the middle of Aix. Even though the menu swings from Thai to Chinese to Korean (which is pretty weird but not really surprising), the Vietnamese fondue is fairly authentic. No mam nem sauce but the nuoc mam was fine. Ask for the rooster sauce for spice. It's about 19 euro per person to order this. All vegetables can be refilled for free. You can definitely have a nice meal here without hurting your wallet. We ended up ordering a bottle of rose and 2 extra plates of beef (30 euro) so our bill was about 90 euro total. Pretty pricy for something I eat so regularly at home but worth it for us.

The restaurant is located in a neighborhood only lively during night time. Bars on the street, attracting hundreds of students to this area, seeking for drinks, smoke, socializing, and the most obvious food/snack. Once we get inside we were politely greeted and unlike most restaurants, the owners do speak fluent English. The lady owner used to have Teppanyaki restaurants in Miami but decided to go back to France after 15 years (she was born/raised in France). We ordered the combos, starting from chicken soup, Vietnamese salad w/ chicken/crab, and the main courses: caramelized pork and chicken on top of fried egg noodles. The starters were great especially the soup and they are quite filling! The main courses were well seasoned and satisfied our craving for Asian food. The ambiance is different (classy Asian) and service decent. Between the two of us we spent €39 and completely full... definitely would recommend this place

If you are looking for fancy omakase they don't really have that, but all the food I had was excellent and affordable (strange to say given the high quality). I had the assorted 8 piece sushi as well as the sashimi platter (yes I did both since it's been over 7 days without Asian food). All of the nigiri and sashimi were fresh and delicious! My daughter had the Chirashi which was solid. My other kids had the Salmon-Don and Gyoza all excellent! We also tried the Mochi with red bean, it was delicious, pricey likely since it was homemade. The Apricot, Lemon, Fig and Strawberry/Raspberry tarts were to die for! Highly recommend this place!
