Matsuri Saint Etienne - FERMÉ sur Saint-Etienne

13/04/2026: It's a shame, the rather limited menu (which is a good sign) looked appealing, but the quality of the ramen wasn't there. The broth and noodles were bland. At least the staff were friendly and the service was quick.

01/04/2026: A fantastic find in Saint-Étienne! The restaurant has a truly warm and welcoming atmosphere, with amazing decor that will delight all Naruto fans. You immediately feel at home! 🍜🍥 As for the menu, it's simple yet incredibly effective. The ramen I had was very good, but my absolute favorite was the karaage. It's incredibly authentic; it tastes and has the exact same texture as what you'd eat in Japan! 🇯🇵🍗 A real treat. I did notice two minor issues with the service: they forgot to give me chopsticks with my meal (I had to get up and ask for them at the counter), and when it came time to pay, the young woman at the register didn't even glance at me, too engrossed in her phone, until her colleague came to take over and ring me up. But honestly, the overall experience, the setting, and especially the quality of the food were so incredible that I'm giving it 5 stars without hesitation. I highly recommend it!
