Upon seeing other reviews and in the mood for someplace with white rice after not having it for 8…read moredays in France, we decided to visit this restaurant. Upon entering, it is a nice place, kinda like a eurasian fusion feel. We had first dinner seating so it was kind of empty. I ordered a dinner plate with salmon nigiri, salmon & avocado maki, these yakiniku sticks with strips of been wrapped around cheese (French accent to a Japanese meal), egg plant appetizer (was REALLY good), miso soup, bowl of white rice, along with a bit of seaweed salad. It was really good! My wife had udon with tempura. The curious thing was that there was no dipping sauce for the tempura unlike where you would find almost everywhere else (maybe a French thing? I dunno)... and I've eaten Japanese foods in different 'States, Japan, Singapore ... My son had a sashimi dinner and he said that it was really good. I managed to take a few photos, then the worker and manager came over to us to say that picture taking was not allowed. Oh well ... kinda deflated the experience a bit. So I can say I ate Japanese food in France at least once :)

9/9/15: It was a late night, lit by moonlight. Yelp in hand, we made our way through the shady…read morestreets and dark alleys in the surrounding neighborhood. But we did make it. As several have noted already, the host/waiter/(owner?) was very nice but didn't speak much English, but he tried his best. I attempted some French, and though completely butchering everything he still told us in English my French was good. I laughed at the obvious white lie, but I appreciated the friendliness. 0. Amuse Bouch of salad and miso soup (complimentary): They started us with a bowl of miso soup and salad. The miso soup definitely had a French spin to it--didn't taste like your typical traditional miso soup. Was interesting. I don't remember how the salad tasted except that it was okay, but I appreciated the unique presentation where it was served in a large piece of bamboo. 5/10 1. Maki au Foie Gras par 6 6,50 EUR: 6 pieces of foie gras sushi roll. So, honestly, it wasn't the greatest combination. I think the softness and silkiness of the foie gras just made the rice texture feel weird in your mouth. But, had to try it--I mean, where else are you gonna get foie gras sushi!? 5/10. 2. Tempura de Crevette au Fromage 6,20 EUR: So, this is shrimp tempura with some rice. The tempura was different than your standard American-style tempura (ultra light) or the way they have it in Japan (extremely crispy and crunchy), but I forgot exactly how. But it certainly was different. Otherwise, tastes good, but somewhat plain. 5/10. 3. Saumon, avocat, fromage Sushi Flocon par 6 6,50 EUR: Salmon, avocado, cheese sushi. You've probably had similar before. Nothing special here. 5/10. 4. Wakame salade d'algues au concombre 6,20 EUR: Sorry, do not remember this at all. 5. Salade de poulet 8,50 EUR: Sorry, again, cannot recall. 6. Boule de sushi, Magret de canard fume au foie gras 3,00 EUR: This was probably the best sushi we had there. It's duck on top of foie gras sushi. For some reason this was a better pairing than the plain Maki au Foie Gras. I liked it. If you get any sushi here, get this. 7/10. 7. unknown ice cream sundae dessert: I just remember it was good, but sorry not much else. 6/10. So, no, the food wasn't spectacular. I certainly don't recommend you to make a special trip here if you have other choices. But we didn't. And this place did save our night. If you're curious what French sushi tastes like, well, this place would probably satisfy your curiosity. I read a few reviews saying this is as good as French sushi gets, so, again if you're craving something different from stuffing yourself with all the awesome traditional French food, this would be good break. And I appreciated the friendly atmosphere a lot too. 4/5 (cause it saved our night and made us happy) #frenchjapanese #japanese #sushi #france #frenchjapanesefusion
