Yasube — Restaurant in Paris

This is a very mixed bag. First I wanted to give 3/5 but after writing everything down I had to come to the conclusion that this is much closer to a 1/5 (although I did consider a 2/5 until I noticed the smell of my clothes).

The yakitori are authentic and tasty. The edamame and the rice were both overcooked. The plum wine was boring (never had boring plum wine before!) Service was friendly but could have been a bit more attentive - particularly in the beginning, when there were just few customers. But the absolute worst was the cooker hood, not sure it did anything because after an hour it was so smoky in the restaurant, that my eyes were burning! They tried to fight this by turning on the air conditioner (which helped little at best, as you'd expect). Now all my clothes smell like smoke as well.

If you come here, sit close to the (hopefully...

I’ve come here twice. I ordered the lunch set (bento) for the first time, it was surprisingly delicious so I always thought of coming again. But for the second time, I ordered grilled set (10 brochettes) and a grilled saumon set. It was for celebrating Valentine’s Day. But I really could not appreciate their cuisine this time, it was a bit worse than being banal. The taste was, to be honest, BAD. As for the service, there was a woman truly concentrated on her job, I appreciate it. But the young man server was a bit snobby (I cannot figure out why he has to be snobby when he works....I don’t really care anyway). Conclusion : I’ll still come here for the lunch set, but not for a real meal....

If you're looking for authentic Japanese dining with great quality food for reasonable prices, look no further!

This is the real deal. We went here because friends recommended it to us and we had an amazing dinner. I had the 8-yakitori menu (which I highly recommend, anything less might not be enough if you're a medium to large eater) and my girlfriend had the sashimi menu. We shared the dishes and it was very tasteful.

The staff is friendly, attentive and very happy you're there as a guest. It felt like an authentic Japanese experience but situated in Paris.

A must try, I will definitely be...
