I lived in Paris for 8 and a half years. My Japanese wife and I went to Juji-Ya frequently to buy rice and other Japanese foods (they also have a limited supply of Japanese kitchen equipment), also to have lunch in the tiny café are opposite the counter. The lunch sets are excellent and superb value for money. It reminds me of places in Shitamachi, Tokyo: down-to-earth, no pretensions, just good food in a simple and clean environment. Oh, and there's Japanese TV if you want to watch that. And it's a genuine Japanese establishment. Most of the "Japanese" restaurants in Paris are Chinese-owned and they serve bad copies of Japanese food, often with the wrong kind of rice, not always politely. One of my Chinese friends told me this change to "Japanese" restaurants happened after a hygiene inspection of Chinese restaurants. The restaurants in the rue St.Anne are largely Japanese. Many of the cooks are from mainland China (judging by their accents, as they speak Mandarin to each other), but they are taught by Japanese chefs, so they know what...

Been wanting to try Juji-Ya for a while now and it was such a unique experience! 💖 Made me nostalgic about the bento boxes I used to get before boarding the Shinkansen back in Japan. Juji-Ya offers a bang for your buck with a wide variety of sides and viandes to choose from for only €15! The servings are hefty and you can customize your own bento which makes me want to come back and try the other combinations ☺️💖

The setup is more casual dining and a lot of people to take out their food than dining in. The dining area can get pretty cramped, luckily it was not too busy around 1pm when we ate. The line was long but the staff were very efficient, taking orders in advance and assembling them so you won't need to wait long.

The food was delicious and I enjoyed it thoroughly! If there's one thing I comment on, the pork tonkatsu was thinner than the usual cut so it was a bit try, but it was crispy and season well so I still enjoyed it.

All in all, I'm very happy with my experience and would definitely be...
