Komatsubaki sur Paris

It was a wonderful experience, the welcome and service were top-notch! The sushi was delicious! The little surprise at the end was a lovely touch! We'll definitely be back!

10/10 experience. Fish quality was impeccable. Lovely saki pairing that matched the courses perfectly but was also so fun. Beautiful flavors that were comforting (familiar fish) and mind expanding (amazing flavor combinations) all at once. Service was wonderful and friendly to English speakers. Beautiful dishes and linen I wish I could have purchased. It would have been at home at much more expensive price, but the value of this meal makes it exceptional and one not miss. Amazing meal at a price that cannot be beat. Thank you to Reddit for helping me find it! I never write reviews but this place seems to be a sleeper online so want to help get the word out.

An authentic Japanese restaurant, the staff and chef are very welcoming and friendly, it was a real culinary experience, the dishes are original and the ingredients were very fresh, impeccable service, it is one of the best Japanese restaurants I have tasted in Paris.

An incredible Japanese restaurant. The spectacle is everywhere: the contemporary Japanese decor, the dishes prepared right before your eyes with astonishing calm and precision, the original and varied tableware, the beautiful and colorful presentation. The food is simply perfect. The sake pairing with four different types is a must, but it's also possible to accompany your dinner with wine or tea. Obviously, all of this is expensive, but in my opinion, the price is justified.

My first experience at Komatsubaki, and what a discovery! An exceptional experience from start to finish. Each dish was a true culinary journey: refined, perfectly balanced, and enhanced by high-quality ingredients. Everything was conceived with precision and finesse. A huge thank you to the Chef and the entire team for their warm welcome, professionalism, and attentiveness throughout the meal. A wonderful discovery that I recommend without hesitation!

Spectacular. An unforgettable experience. The quality of the food and the service throughout the restaurant is exceptional.

I somehow completely missed the “no dogs” disclaimer when I booked. Fortunately, the team made an exception and welcomed my little “service” dog with genuine kindness and warmth. With that, the evening was already off to a very good start. In Paris, omakase dinners often edge into the mid-€300 range. Komatsubaki offers a far more thoughtfully priced experience without compromising on quality. With just sixteen seats around the counter, the atmosphere is intimate and refreshingly unpretentious. The service is relaxed, yet every course arrives with the precision and quiet refinement one expects from Japanese craftsmanship. The evening begins with a playful ritual, inviting guests to choose their own sake cup from a tray of handmade ceramics. The tuna melts like butter, the tomato served in a delicate fish broth is subtle yet deeply layered, the fermented yuzu citrus drink is refreshing with just the right balance of sweetness, and the mochi filled with fresh strawberries ranks among the finest I’ve had. It’s firmly on my list for a special occasion. Best experienced as a pair at the counter, watching the chefs compose each dish. (or two and a half, if you happen to count my little dog.)

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant, with beautiful paintings by the artist Kyoji Takubo! Some of the plates were also painted by Mr. Takubo, who is the chef’s father. Knowing that made the experience even more special. We were eating on plates painted with a father’s love 💙 We love the chef. The food is amazingly delicious and sometimes too beautiful to eat. We come here all the time and even had our wedding dinner here 😊 A very special place, with very special people! Thank you for bringing a piece of Japan to Paris! 🇯🇵

Great experience but a few things missing to make it a 5/5 for the price tag. I came to Komatrubaki for dinner with a reservation which I highly recommend doing as I believe it is necessary. The restaurant has two floors with the bathroom being on the first and main dining area on the second. The dining area was clean, well decorated and welcoming but the bathroom on the other hand was surprisingly dirty in comparison, with toilet paper on the floor and an empty soap container. When we came in, everyone was seated at the bar. The chef and sous-chef were preparing their mise en place. A few positive things to note were the fact that they used fresh ingredients such as freshly grated wasabi which is expected at this price point. The next point that took away from the experience was the very slow service from the staff. Although the chef was preparing the courses in a timely and responsive manner, it took a long time for us to receive our beverages. Everyone, including those that came later had already received theirs and the first few courses had already come out until we finally got out beverages. Afterwards, the waiters did not refill our water or ask if we wanted to order any other drinks. Other than those two points which unfortunately bring down my total assessment for Komatrubaki, the food was quite flavorful and light and the service from the head chef was friendly and attentive. There were a few dishes that I felt were slightly overcooked and under seasoned but overall the dishes were very good. All in all, I hope Komatrubaki takes a look into these issues in order for future guests to really receive a 5 star experience. If you staying in the area and want some good Japanese food, I would recommend this spot but I would not go out of my way to come here.

I had an exceptional experience at this restaurant. Every detail was flawless—from the seasonal touches and meticulous craftsmanship to the beautiful presentation and thoughtfully chosen tableware. Most importantly, the food itself was outstanding. Even though I dined alone, the chef and those around me were warm and welcoming, which made the experience especially enjoyable and memorable. I’m truly glad I discovered this place during my trip to Paris, and I highly recommend it.
