This fantastic restaurant is located a little out of the way, but was well worth the trip and was one of the two best meals we had in Paris.
The Japanese-French combination made the experience unique.

It is a blind tasting menu, which I noticed was a popular approach in many restaurants in Paris. I was a little apprehensive, but it was all good and made for a fun adventure not knowing what was coming next. We opted for the tasting menu, where the prestige menu had the same number of courses, but used fancier ingredients. For what we got I found the pricing to be fair and good.

The food is what you would expect out of a Michelin star restaurant, with complex flavors, multiple layers, and a fantastic melding of French sauces and Japanese flavors.

The restaurant itself is small and provides an intimate setting. This place does not come across as trendy or loud. There was a mix of locals and Americans the evening we went. Service was friendly and warm with one primary server in the midweek evening we were there, and with the chefs brining our some of the courses.

In a city full of fine restaurants this was definitely worth the trip!

Small restaurant (4 tables when I went, although two were with large groups), with very discreet staff. Tasting menu with wine pairing was delicious and varied, very copious. Staff was very passionate about wine

The food is amazing.  But I got pretty carried away and won't be able to comment every dish.

Food - Sophisticated.  The complexity of the flavor and the way food cook with it's timing was extraordinary.

Service - It's not perfect because with Michelin stars restaurant, you have a certain expectation but personally great service is what they provided. Excellent is not necessary to skew the point.

Note:

Lobster - it's rare. Personally, I prefer 80%-90% to get that texture I like.

Upgrade chef menu - Afterward, I felt the monk fish was good enough especially with the lobster sauce and ordering the lobster was not necessary since the monk fish was excellent.  Though you can add a toppings of truffles which is available for the basic chef menu.

The food was original, and deserving of their Michelin star. Great atmosphere, and in a nice quiet, part of town. The staff were really friendly too! Thank you!
