kokohana — Restaurant in Paris

THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!!!! No, really, I'd been dying to find a teppanyaki place in Paris, since I love the benny hana type place in the US, and when I found out about this place I had to test it out. The chef is hilarious, he's super friendly, very accomodating, always chatting up the costumers in the grill table and explains everything. It is a bit pricier than most places, but really the amount of food you get for the price is well worth it. I could barely even finish my plate of scallops (which were suuuuper tasty and juicy). There's the menu option and the a la carte option, what changes is the price and the quantity of food, if you're used to eating a lot, definitely go for the a la carte, nd if not, get the menu. I didn't manage to get to dessert, but the customers next to me got the flambeed bananas and I got a front row seat for the fire show and it was really fun to see, so I guess order that...

The staff is friendly, the food was okay. For my taste the vegetables were definitely overcooked (not used to that when having asian food) and the prawns I had were not well seasoned. Way too much garlic. I can handle garlic and I like it. But when it comes to garlic with prawns instead of prawns seasoned with garlic it gets too much. The banana dessert was kind of disappointing. I thought it would taste more unique. Tasted like I am doing it at home. For the price - too much. They could do much...

We visited this place after craving for asian food. As a big fan of Benihaha in the states, we were a bit skeptical at the beginning if this restaurant would match up, but we soon found out we were very wrong. The beef was very tender and well marinated. The scallops and the shrimps were mouthwatering with butter garlic source. The chef was very friendly to my kids. I recommend this place if you are looking...
