Kushikatsu Bon sur Paris

I never knew I could be so moved by a series of bites. Kushikatsu Bon has changed my expectations and appreciation for dining. I’ve brought and sent people here for birthdays, celebrations, and first nights in Paris. What finally prompted me to write this review isn’t simply that I’ve eaten here several times, it’s that every person who works here makes you feel special and truly welcome. Kushikatsu has its roots in the street food of Osaka, but here its preparation and service become something extraordinarily elegant. Each bite arrives at a deliberate pace, with every flavor and detail considered. Watching the chef from behind the beautiful wooden counter feels like witnessing a meticulously rehearsed dance. There is something almost spiritual about his care, concentration, and genuine grin, a sense of someone doing exactly what they were meant to do. That same care extends throughout the team and their impeccable service. You see the hosts enjoying one another’s company, learning from one another, helping each other, and staying attentive to every visitor - they’re a solid team. The food is memorable: comforting and familiar in one moment, surprising in the next. During our visit tonight, they surprised us with grilled mochi, savory with a sweet, syrupy drizzle. One bite brought me back to my dad cooking mochi on New Year’s Day, as he did every year. I hadn’t expected to find that memory at a dinner in Paris. After three months of living here and trying so many restaurants, this remains one of the most extraordinary places I’ve eaten. I’ll keep coming back, I’ll keep bringing people I love, and I’ll keep recommending this place to those open to a Japanese dining experience.

It was excellent: the service, the calm and cozy atmosphere, the variety of sake, and the truly incredible food! I highly recommend going there without hesitation for an exceptional experience!

This is my second time at this restaurant and it's just as good as the first time. The service is always so polite and attentive. The chef is very friendly and always smiling.

A superb place; we rediscovered the flavors of Japan. The meal was excellent and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend it!

Kudos to the (French) chef who prepares the exquisite kushikatsu with precision and delicacy. The same feeling as with the former Japanese chef, bravo! The team is also very attentive.

We had a wonderful experience for our anniversary, with refined cuisine and careful consideration of the flavors of each skewer and the accompanying accompaniments. The service was attentive and very well explained throughout the meal. A big thank you to the Chef and the entire front-of-house team for this lovely experience.

If kindness was a treat, Kushikatsu Bon would be a candy shop. The food, the ambiance, and especially the service were amazing. The people working at this place are very attentive, and the whole experience feels tailored to each person. My girlfriend asked for a different kushikatsu and the waitress took time with her to find which remplaceement would be the best. Also, at some point my girlfriend dropped a piece (not even the whole kushikatsu) of wagyu beef on the floor, and the waitress immediatly asked for another one for free ! The food quality was great, prepared with a lot of care, and very tasteful. The food we had there was completely different from what we usually eat, yet we enjoyed it to the fullest. Thank you for this experience !

We had a wonderful evening; the staff were very friendly and attentive. The tasting took place in several courses, everything was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was very welcoming.

We were impressed by this restaurant and its team. Delicious food and attentive service. Well done to the entire team led by Chef Thomas!

The food was delicious and the service attentive, the servers and chef were smiling and very pleasant. While our first experience four years ago was perfect, this one was even more memorable, and we can't wait to return on our next trip to Paris. Thank you again to the team.
