Asahi — Restaurant in Paris

I had a fantastic dining experience at Asahi. The sushi is delicious, fresh and refined and they have a nice selection of more interesting rolls as well. The summer roll is delicious and the dragon roll has light and crispy shrimp tempura. They also have wonderful dumplings and seaweed salad. Their wine/beer selection is great too as are their desserts. Better yet, we came to celebrate a birthday and the staff was so attentive to notice the note I put in our reservation and surprised us with candles on the dessert. The staff are friendly and kind and made us feel welcomed. Overall, I am so glad we chose Asahi to celebrate a special occasion as we had such a joyful and delicious dinner. We will certainly make this our go-to in the area!...

Ambiance - Nice and classy, except for the pop music Rice - Med/long grain (unfortunately not short grain sushi rice); seasoning was decent Fish - Tuna was watery and not firm, salmon was ok, shrimp was dry Service - Parisian standard Maki composition - Lack of innovation and wasabi quality was poor Price - Too expensive for quality/innovation provided Authenticity - Poor representation of Japanese food-art

Considering the neighborhood, you can get better food for better prices with fewer scowls just...
