We ordered the miso and spicy miso ramen, gyoza, and half fried rice -- all were flavorful, authentic, and satisfying. Service was quick and courteous. As self-proclaimed ramen snobs from New York who've also traveled to Japan, we were genuinely impressed -- this place beats at least half the ramen joints in NYC. Highly recommend if you're craving a solid bowl of ramen.

I was trying to fight the cold with giving my body enough vitamin C and some soothing soup/tea etc... I was craving soup/noodles for my sore throat. Staying in Champs-Élysées area, I wanted some place near by. Noodle Panda was a 7 minute walk in one of the adjacent streets of Champs-Élysées. Service was great. They had plenty of seating with the restaurant being very clean and maintained. We ordered Thai style shrimp pineapple rice. This was flavorful and delicious. I ordered shrimp dumpling noodle soup. The dumplings were incredible and the soup made me feel great. Seriously I wish this place was in Florida, it was a great find in Paris. ~

I was shocked when I read Takara is the oldest Japanese restaurant in Europe. I thought they were…read morecappin, but my rigorous 5 minute google research says this is true. It only opened in 1958, which sent me into an existential spiral. A city that is such a cultural melting pot like Paris, and Europe as a whole, got their first Japanese restaurant in 1958? The world has not been connected for very long. I don't know why, but this really put time into perspective for me. When we stepped off the Parisian streets and into Takara, it literally felt like we just entered a worm hole to Tokyo. They somehow bottled the energy in Japan and brought it to Paris. You could take a breath in here. There was just such a calming, respectful energy in here that I have only felt in Japan. When making a reservation, you are required to order either Shabu Shabu or Sukiyaki which honestly was kind of annoying. We just wanted to rip a bunch of sushi. 52 euro a head was the cheapest option, and we went with that because I'm a brokie. We sat down in the most authentic Japanese ambiance that I have ever set foot in outside of Japan. I was so damn inspired. One of the walls was lined with 70+ different types of beautifully crafted Japanese wallpaper, and I wanted to steal it and bring it back home to line the walls of my tiny NYC apartment. Along with our forced shabu shabu, we went with a mixed nigiri platter, 3 different cut rolls, and some fried chicken. My Chase Sapphire Preferred card was in hell. The nigiri and cut rolls went absolutely insane. The thing about writing food reviews is there are only so many positive adjectives in my repertoire. It was better than any nigiri I've had outside of Japan. Maybe the quality of fish has been the same in LA or NYC, but the vibe in here just took it up a notch... See, my words are futile to describe the feeling this fish gave me. I would honestly love to hate on the shabu shabu that we were held at gunpoint to try, but it was also PHENOMENAL. Maybe it's just a case of Stockholm syndrome, but it was magical. Thin cuts of beef with the most perfect marbling, paired with fresh vegetables to cook in a hot pot right in front of you? How could you not love it? The waitress came over and got us started, showing us how to operate the shabu shabu machine. All in all, this was my 2nd favorite meal we had in Paris only behind the Senegalese restaurant Waly Fay. However, Takara did HURT the pockets. I don't even know how much it ran, I just winced as I tapped my Chase card. I'm refusing to look at the statement as it's all just monopoly money on vacation, right?

The staff was very friendly; they asked for our vacation documents. We had a few rolls (dragon, tuna and avocado, avocado) as well as some sushi (salmon, tuna, egg, and eel). Everything tasted good, the rice was well pressed, but was a little too sweet for my taste. The quality of the fish was good, nice and fresh taste, but it was too thinly cut. They also had too much rice, so the amount of rice to fish was way off. Overall a good meal, prices were reasonable, but I the amount of fish and rice is reflected in the price. I personally would prefer to spend more to get a thicker cut or fish and less rice.

I refused to order dinner, but my wife ordered her dinner, and shockingly, it arrived within 5 minutes.

It is not romantic, no matter the ambiance or view when you are treated like cattle. It was my 60th birthday and I never even got to tell the waitress. It made our last night in Paris bitter.
