Hokkaido Restaurant Japonais - Paris

Nothing special about the place. Food is ok, drinks fresh. Ambiance is flat and music just pop radio. Well, the only great point is the location. However, nothing negative to raise about the restaurant.

醤油ラーメン、味噌ラーメン、塩ラーメンはあるが、とんこつ味はない。味はまずくないが、美味しいとは言えない。餃子の皮は厚くて、冷凍餃子の方が美味しいぐらい。 There are taste of Soy Sauce, Miso and Salt but no Tonkotsu (pork bone broth) Ramen. Not bad taste but not good enough as Ramen special restaurant. Thick skin of Gyoza, probably frozen Gyoza sold at the supermarket may be better taste.

This is a little leftfield, but my wife and I were in Paris and we could not resist eating Sushi for dinner one night. Hokkaido was stylish and the mood lighting inside was wonderful. Our order from the Menu was the sharing DUO option which was presented to our table in a miniature wooden boat and consisted of the following; 2 Asahi 33 cl beers, 2 soups, 2 salads, 2 rice, 16 assorted sashimi, 12 maki (6 salmon, tuna 6), 8 sushi (2 salmon, 2 tuna, 2 dorado, 2 shrimp). We also had Saki that we thoroughly enjoyed. I would happily go back again when in Paris.

As to be expected in any decent Sushi restaurant the presentation (which is everything) was excellent. The food was equally good and super fresh as it has to be. I had a lunch time dish as pictured. Great service but not many people here. It was half two so may be no surprise. I recommend it.

From the small number of Japanese restaurants we have tried in Paris, this one ranks towards the bottom.The food is decent taste wise, although one of the tuna sashimi pieces had a slight fishy smell to it indicating its lack of freshness, the biggest issue in my opinion was the serving size.Sashimi pieces were embarrassingly small and you'd expect to get at least double the size we were served at any other decent Japanese restaurant.To add to the frustration, we did takeaway and were given 1 napkin for a meal (€16.50) consisting of the following;1. 9 pieces of sashimi2. 5 grilled skewers with rice3. Salad4. Miso soupNot recommended.
