Joji — Restaurant in Paris

Overall, the food was pretty good, but I wouldn’t go back as the service left a lot to be desired. Three things stood out to me:

(1) When someone asks for their steak to be well done, don’t look at them as though they’re a lunatic. Firstly, they are the customer. Secondly, she happened to be pregnant and isn’t allowed to have uncooked meat.

(2) When someone asks for their steak to be well done, don’t then serve it medium, hiding the colour of it with some sauce. It’s disrespectful. Plus, it’s also disrespectful to then leave the other person’s meal and both bowls of rice there to get cold, whilst they wait for you to cook the meal again.

(3) When someone asks where the other part of their meal is, then you realise that what you’ve delivered is different to what is on the menu, it would be good to do something about it. A suggestion would be to apologise, then correct the mistake, not leave them to it. Plus, it’d be nice to have a meal that’s not served on a chipped plate - it doesn’t scream high standards.

Overall, disappointing. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t so good that it compensated for so many issues in such a short space of time. Attitude...

We were able to get sat with no wait at dinner time and they do have some outdoor seating options. Heads up that half of the tables outside are situated on a hill so it was uneven but not disruptive for the meal. I ordered the shrimp poke bowl which was good. The shrimp and mango were quite fresh but the tails were still on the shrimp and that reduced the quality and experience of the dish for me. I’ll note my friend got the pork bao bao and she said it was very good. Sadly we did not get the spring rolls but the table next to us did and they said they were amazing so maybe worth a try!

The service was phenomenal. Greeted and food came out quickly. Tried to order a glass of wine that they were out of and server was nice enough to offer a comparable option. I’m not sure if we just got lucky or if this is a rule of the restaurant but this was the only place we went to for dinner that didn’t already have ashtrays on the table and no one smoked at the table - they would get up and go around the corner. So if you’re not a smoker this may be...

Food was so splendid! Perfect fusion of Asian cuisine and modern techniques. Enjoyed the tuna tatchika very much and the desserts 🍨 were AMAZING!! The matcha lava cake is to Die for ! The matcha tasted so pure and rich, love their use of high quality ingredients. The red fruit panacotta was very creative, the sweetness of the panacotta was nicely complimented with the red fruit...
