7/10It’s past its prime of 25 years ago but still a fun spot. Great dining location for families especially those with kids. It’s expensive and the food is good (not the greatest). It’s more of a theme type restaurant. Anyway, if you like to take memorable photos, this place is one of the best.

8.5/10We enjoyed our evening at Buddha Bar. My only complaint was that when we arrived we were invited to check our coats only to find out—after we checked them—that there was a 1 euro charge for each coat. This rule—which only applies on Friday and Saturday night—should be made clear at the time of arrival. If I would have known of the charge I would have just brought my coat to my table.

8.5/10The atmosphere is fun. The food is good. The server was wonderful. The shop took along time and should have more sizes. Overall, very nice.

5/10Food brought out too quickly and just short of cold. Asian food should be warm with heated plates. Cold meat, cold noodles and vegetables Disappointing for a high priced restaurant

7.5/10We were seated in a cramped, small table even though the restaurant was mostly empty. We noticed that several couples were seated in bigger tables after, while we were told that we could not. Very disappointed and will not recommend to anyone.

8.5/10Food was delicious! Felt a bit overpriced but we enjoyed everything we got. Followed other reviewers and only got appetizers and a few sushi rolls which is definitely the way to go here!! Recommend for a special event if you have 4 people - we were 2 and got squeezed in between two other tables on either side which was weird.

7.5/10Arrived between 10:30 pm-11:00 pm. Restaurant table density high. Service is slow. Food is very good but pricing above average. Cocktails and drinks average in quality and pour. No acknowledgment of occasion for dinner.

5/10The price level compared to what you get is very high. It isn’t much of a taste sensation and you quickly end up with a €200 bill for 2 people. Atmosphere is exciting and cool- but the food and service isn’t too impressing

7.5/10It used to be a great place, but it feels like it has been a little "abandoned". It needs maintenance, maybe a refurbishment. And it needs to improve the food and specially the service.

10/10The service there was soooo good. The waiter allways had an eye on us and was allways on spot when we needed anything. Food was really good. We had tacos for starters and sushi for main course. 100% recomented.

8/10Good experience at an old haunt. The place is due for a rennovations and update. It has not changed at all for 20 years and has so much potential. They should consider a total makeover inspired by Shanghai19 30’s. It’s time to get rid of the fake plastic plants and flowers and be more creative with the lighting. If they want to keep the red, they need to go with Latin theme otherwise , it’s time for a brighter cleaner look. . Food was still good thankfully.

4.5/10We hoped to be sited in the main space, but we were sited on a side space. Menu was supposed to be scanned but there was no wifi reception where we were sat so eventually we received regular menus. Someone at a table next to us fainted. I wish her all the best, but it definitely ruined the atmosphere. It took about 25 minutes until an ambulance arrived. During this time she was on the floor. The way she was handled was very disturbing. Tables kept receiving their orders while the girl was on the floor!!! We cancelled our order and left. We were charged for the starters and drinks we had before the incident. In my opinion the was the restaurant handled it was very disappointing.

8/10The restaurant is very nice even if a bit dark and the music too load what made difficult to have a conversation and order to the waiters. The hostess are very welcoming. Our meals were tasty and very nicely presented.

8/10The food was not bad but nothing exceptional. The service needs improvement. They brought us the one dish wrong so we had to wait double time in total. Later on we went to the mezzanine floor for a drink but the drinks we ordered never arrived. The ambience is really good , so just go there maximum once.

6/10I was trying to reserve the same day on their website and several time slots were available. I called to ask a question and I was told they are fully booked! I came to The Fork and could make a reservation for the same date, so I didn’t like their marketing strategy to artificially create scarcity!

7/10Suuuuuper cute& fun spot for a night out. Amazing for any occasion: date night, bday, girls night out… Music is super nice, place is super lively. The service was very bad though: it took hours for a waiter to even notice us. Food is ok. Nothing too impressive.

7/10Great interior and world famous music. Food is average quality, service was good. Worth visiting this iconic restaurant, but far from 'fine dining'.

7.5/10The vibe was great, music, interior design, but for me the staff were not polite enough to make this experience enjoyable. I took one of signature cocktail in menu, which was perfect.

5/10From the security at the main door, the reservation staff, it was just not a good experience. Maybe it’s that typical Parisian attitude from restaurants staff but for the price of service and food, you wouldn’t expect to have such treatment. We arrived there for 21h30 reservation, the security person checking the health pass was very very grumpy for no reason. Then at the reservation desk, they were also very impatient and snob. Then we were escorted to our reserved table, which was the most disappointing part. We were brought to a table at the most hidden and covered part of the restaurant. The restaurant was very very full and I don’t think the social distancing was even taken into acct. but anyways, we expected to be seated at a nice area of the restaurant with nice ambiance rather than a very covered box like part of the restaurant. We didn’t enjoy any view or ambiance at all. Felt like it could’ve been the worst part of the restaurant actually. Well, we dressed up very very nicely that night thinking it would have been what’s proper for what’s supposed to be the kind of athmosphere in this restaurant. Maybe we should’ve called and requested for a nice seat. The food I must say, the price is a bit too expensive for what you get. we felt like it wasn’t worth it. Anyways, now we know. Over all, we would not recommend this restaurant to dine in on a busy weekend.

9/10Had to wait to long for a table even though we had reservations. Very confusing even though plenty of empty tables. Once seated the service was sub par compared to Every other restaurant in Paris. Had to ask twice for our wine selection

5.5/10Had better food in Paris already compared to the price..The tuna and the chicken did not really taste like anything. They served us 2 portions of dumplings on top of each other and it took us a while to find out it’s 2 portions because the other portion was missing. We ended up with 320 Euro bill for 4 without even drinking wine. Would not go there again, there are much better options. Service also not really welcoming - too many people serving one table.
