Paradis221 sur Villeneuve-D'Ascq

Honestly, not great… The two- and three-star reviews are totally justified. Damn, I should have read them before coming… The only positive point was the decor and the atmosphere. As for the rest, nothing I ate was good. I ordered California rolls, supposedly a new item… frankly, they were awful. The rice was too soggy; you couldn't even taste the avocado and salmon inside. There was an excess of some kind of mayonnaise/American-style sauce that ruined everything. Then, I ordered spring rolls. The worst I've ever had. They tasted like stale oil… a measly lettuce leaf and not even any spring roll sauce… The chicken skewer was really bad too, completely squashed, nothing like the menu picture. I made the mistake of ordering white rice… and even that wasn't good… And to top it all off, yes, I decided to punish myself, I ordered a glass of red wine… no choice of wine, it must be one of those places where they just throw everything in… horrible… Well, the good news is, there isn't any, because I paid 27 bucks for it! No mistake on the bill, but the experience cost me dearly! Definitely avoid this place!

Paradis 221 restaurant in Lille is a wonderful discovery for lovers of Asian cuisine. I particularly enjoyed the stir-fried beef with vegetables, which was perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. The service was pleasant, especially thanks to Lina, a smiling waitress who took the time to advise us. The modern decor, with its red lanterns and Asian touches, creates a warm atmosphere. A friendly place where you can have a great time enjoying delicious food.

It's really good, the setting is very nice. But the price is still high and the staff aren't very friendly, especially the lady who runs the till.

The restaurant's strong point lies in its decor, atmosphere, and the freshness of its food. It's a refreshing change from traditional Asian all-you-can-eat buffets. You order via your phone (5 courses per person per seating, with unlimited seating). The wait time is more than reasonable. However, the service could be improved. One of the waitresses (an older woman) was extremely unpleasant! I made a reservation through their website, and this same waitress insisted (in an aggressive manner) that they don't take reservations, even though I had a confirmation email from the restaurant! It's a shame because it doesn't make me want to return, even though I enjoyed my meal...

Yes, the restaurant is nice, and the atmosphere is pleasant, but the food quality isn't great. There isn't much choice on the menu, but more importantly, I find it very expensive for the quality of the dishes. €70 for two people, all-you-can-eat, plus a bottle of sparkling water. That's just my opinion, but there are definitely better and cheaper options elsewhere.

The place is nice, the menu is extensive. The staff took the time to explain the menu. The food was average. The Hakame salad was good, the sushi was just okay. Good, but not great.

Very nice restaurant. Not worth the price (cocktail + all-you-can-eat option €41). The menu selection isn't suitable for an all-you-can-eat restaurant. The service wasn't always pleasant.

Everything is very good and all-you-can-eat, I highly recommend it.

I'm a regular at this place, including on match days when they offer a set menu for a balanced and affordable dinner, although the service can be a bit busier due to the crowds ;) Day-to-day, it's a reliable spot with a friendly and discreet staff. The parking underneath is a real bonus. A family-run place that deserves our support ;)

Great restaurant, surprising decor, excellent cuisine
