A well-balanced à la carte menu, accompanied by various desserts in a refined restaurant.
It emerges from the place a little air of refinement and elegance in perfect harmony with the clientele of the house. Tabashi Yabe, the chef, eats his native specialities : ceviche (seafood and seafood, yusu and coriander sauce), new style salmon sashimi, seized with olive oil, sesame and fresh ginger and cut to the Japanese knife, this is specified on the map, yolk we will tell you (30 €), or even softshellcrabmaki (big roller of hot soft crab)… For vegetarians, a well-balanced menu is à la carte (45 €), with a pleasant agedashi tofu. It's a pity that the dessert card doesn't have the beaten paths (and tired) by Japanese tables, Japanese ice creams (9,50 €) and fruit salad (€ 12,50) does not excite curiosity. Don't forget to book, the restaurant is still crowded.
Members' reviews on ORIENT EXTRÊME
(In French) I enquired about a table, and they replied, "en cinq minutes" (5 minutes). So I hung around outside, until all the lights were on. I was welcomed in, and as a sole diner, offered a lovely single table in the corner of the restaurant - always my favourite when traveling alone.
The service was very friendly, staying in French despite my lapses in grammar or vocabulary, but with none of that alleged "Parisian Sneer" when I got things wrong. But that hardly matters, because ...
My waiter tried to explain I could save money by ordering a "fixed menu", but I replied that I wanted some specific fish, and would remain "a-la-carte". The resulting sushi was absolutely superb.
I started with a simple tuna maki (6 pieces), followed a major round of "sushi" (the style we call "nigiri" (fish on top of rice)), including two pieces each of Maguro (Tuna), Hamachi (Yellowtail), Unagi (Grilled Eel), Hotate (Scallops) and Ikura (Salmon Eggs). And for "dessert", another tuna maki, and two more pieces of the incredible St Jacques - oops, Hotate/Scallops.
All accompanied by a wonderful cold Sake, a 50cl bottle of Kaika Kazeno Ichirin Sake.
Seriously, to my utter delight, this was Sushi Heaven, on a back-street in Paris.
I cannot praise this place to highly. And then to cap it all, as I requested "l'addition", my waiter came back to the table with a little plate of a "Nougat de Maison", which was utterly delicious, and "gratuit" (on the house).
Totally recommended - worth the price - so, while not "cheap", in my opinion, worth every Euro. Five Stars. Cinq Etoiles. *****
