AU COMPTOIR NIPPON

A friend of mine called Idriss, is the most resourceful when it comes to identify uncelebrated gems in terms of hotels and restaurants in Paris. I asked him for something original to take my daughter and a friend and he warmly recommended the Comptoir Nippon. The area near Tour Montparnasse is not extraordinary nor is the restaurant from the outside. The inside looks like any other professional Japanese restaurant. But when it comes to service, quality and originality of the food (you may either eat traditional Japanese or creative Japanese/French cuisine) and excellence of the drinks (great wines and far from expensive), it is OUTSTANDING! I went back twice since and never was disappointed. A must go for anyone interested in excellent and/or creative Japanese cooking with a great service!

Superficial. The food is correct, but it is not japanese at all. The show is average, the cooker failed many times... He managed to put a piece of tofu in my beer (8€/25cl). I did not get a new one. The staff applause each time a cooker do something, that's ridiculouse we're not on a TV show...It's expensive !If you really want to discover a japanese teppanyaki go somewhere else (Yonghua for exemple)!

A very nice japanese restaurant with a delicious food. Good show from a chef part. But they need to improve dessetrs. They are much belove the qualty of the rest of the food. The srevice is nice.

If you want scrumptious and delicious Japanese food with a French twist, you should definitely come check out this restaurant! I came here with my family, and I would definitely come again for family or friend get togethers, business meetings, and romantic dinners. This chef appeared on TV!! And makes amazing dishes!The dining experience is amazing! I tried multiple entrees and plates with different fish and French twists such as with magret de canard and foie gras, and it was just so good! I have been to many Teppanyaki restaurants in the United States, but they do not compare to this restaurant! The cook's performance is more entertaining and friendly. And the food has real flavor and a great presentation on the plate. The staff is very nice! They were always attending to our table and the chef personally came to visit us to ask of our dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Menus start at 39 Euros without drinks , reasonable service , shrimps were nice but beef not so much. Amex cards not accepted
