I ate a pork dish with curry sauce which was flavorful and delicious. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine and the service was excellent. This is a gem in Paris.

It has moved one arrondissement away, maybe half a mile, and lost one of its two Japanese chefs, who has branched out on his own across town, but the main man , Taiki, operating from his tiny kitchen,and Mathieu , who runs the front of the house is and also sommelier, remain, thank heaven. The new place is a touch bigger, a little more stylish but definably the same. So is the food. We had a veloute of sweet potatoes scattered with raisins, brandade de monkfish with shiso leaf a coddled egg with a cream of mushroom sauce for starters, main courses were a little roast ducks with chestnuts and other veggies, stone bass with quinoa and citrus butter and a confit of pork from the shine bone, ridiculously tender, with mashed spuds and pak choi. Dessert was lemon curd cheesecake with tanka beans and pineapple. All washed down with a most reasonably priced Vouvray and a glass of Cote du Rhône.. Service informal but very attentive and professional. As before, it’s off the beaten track. As before, we hope enough people find it so it thrives, which it deserves to, but not enough so we can’t get in whenever we want to
