Lai-lai Ken sur Paris

06/12/2025: Amazing and authentic Japanese meal in Paris. We walked in on a Wednesday night with no reservation - though I would recommend making one! We started off with two oysters, uni rolls, and the toro sashimi appetizer. The slices were fresh and thick and beautifully presentation overall. Then we had the Wagyu shabu shabu with comes with a small trio of appetizers (cucumber salad, monkfish liver (their specialty which was actually surprisingly delicious! totally recommend you to try) and a seaweed salad. Then came the sashimi platter - oyster, shrimp, scallop, salmon, ikura/squid, hirame fluke, aka me tuna, and avocado). Finally we ended with the Wagyu shabu shabu 120g and some veggies/tofu and a choice of rice or udon for the broth. Everything was fresh and tasted great. A bit on the pricier side but we also ordered a lot of food. Would recommend and revisit too!

04/12/2025: An incredible restaurant because the atmosphere is so peaceful (no one shouts), the lighting is dim, the dishes are prepared with high-quality ingredients and care, and the service is quick. The best part is that the waitresses are dressed in Japanese style; it's beautiful and exotic. I loved the eggplant, the crispy salmon skin, the broth with buckwheat soba noodles, and the duck. And the homemade chocolate dessert was to die for. The menu is a bit more expensive than other restaurants in the Asian quarter because it's gourmet. Everything is homemade. Top-notch.
