Hokkaido Restaurant Japonais - Paris

As to be expected in any decent Sushi restaurant the presentation (which is everything) was excellent. The food was equally good and super fresh as it has to be. I had a lunch time dish as pictured. Great service but not many people here. It was half two so may be no surprise. I recommend it.

Went for take-out: waited inside after order and got free beer. Excellent tuna. "Menu Chirashi" is a must.

醤油ラーメン、味噌ラーメン、塩ラーメンはあるが、とんこつ味はない。味はまずくないが、美味しいとは言えない。餃子の皮は厚くて、冷凍餃子の方が美味しいぐらい。 There are taste of Soy Sauce, Miso and Salt but no Tonkotsu (pork bone broth) Ramen. Not bad taste but not good enough as Ramen special restaurant. Thick skin of Gyoza, probably frozen Gyoza sold at the supermarket may be better taste.

From the small number of Japanese restaurants we have tried in Paris, this one ranks towards the bottom.The food is decent taste wise, although one of the tuna sashimi pieces had a slight fishy smell to it indicating its lack of freshness, the biggest issue in my opinion was the serving size.Sashimi pieces were embarrassingly small and you'd expect to get at least double the size we were served at any other decent Japanese restaurant.To add to the frustration, we did takeaway and were given 1 napkin for a meal (€16.50) consisting of the following;1. 9 pieces of sashimi2. 5 grilled skewers with rice3. Salad4. Miso soupNot recommended.

The yakitori grilled meat and fish. The grilled chicken was good so were the pot stickers or grilled dumplings which were more Chinese style than Japanese. The tuna and salmon were on the overdone scale and not succulent. Not all the seafood tasted extremely fresh. Miso soup on the watery side. Service reliable and tried to be helpful. Quick service and turnaround although this was 630 in the evening!
