HANDO Parisian Handroll Sèvres — Restaurant in Paris

I was really looking forward to eating at Hando. I love Japanese cuisine and based on the reviews my expectations were sky high, especially since Paris has a dearth of excellent sushi restaurants.

The owner/manager was unprepared and disrespectful with customers (I caught him ”ordering” customers to wait outside “in order to clear space for the waiters”). The food does not worth the lack of respect with customers - go find a better restaurant in the neighborhood (there...
