7.5/10The food tastes fine but I don't think it's authentic Japanese enough. The staff is nice, but they somewhat rushed us to leave by giving us the bill when we were still on our last bite of food. However, I observed that no one was queuing up at that moment. Overall experience was OK but please do not expect you can get the level of service or authentic Japanese unagi dishes as you would in Japan.

7/10I went there for a few times already because I thought there are really quality food there , but the last time I go, the fish was really over cooked, a flavor carbohydrates sadly I discovered that at end of my meal,the last piece of fish and I notified them , the serveuse asked me why I didn’t told them earlier which was astonishing for me , how I could know for earlier that their fish was over cooked? And there are no commerce gestion , their quality control really should get improved .and the service too.I would not recommend this restaurant anymore.pity.

10/10Excellent unagi (eel) lunch sets in a quiet atmosphere. The service was very attentive without being too present. I felt like being moved to Japan.

9/10We visited Nodaiwa the first time: I had a course menu, and my partner had a big una-ju. What I was not aware was that nodaiwa is a Tokyo style unagi place, as we are more familiar with Kansai-style unagi, it was a new experience for us. Overall the service was very attentive, staff were very kind, and the food was good. I would go back ????

10/10Tokyo feel in Paris… Authentic unagi meal, tasty on a journey to Tokyo and back. Enjoyed the Koyo set menu with a Sashimi Duo and green tea and chestnut ice cream. It was simply Yummy.

9/10Very nice, but believe could be better for grilled Unagi as a famous restaurant from Japan.

10/10The most heavenly eel rice. There are variations of the eel rice on the menu (different sizes to suit all appetites, with different accompaniments). Efficient and superb service. A must in Paris. Be on time: it's very rude in authentic Japanese restaurants to be late.

10/10Lovely staff and food. The eel was cooked perfectly and their combination of lemongrass seasoning with their homemade sweet sauce complemented the grilled meat well. The roasted tea that followed was very satisfying. Thank you!

10/10Always enjoy this place. Consistently good food, service by well-trained staff and modern interior. They are serving food at the quality of Nodaiwa Honten in Higashi-azabu, which is truly amazing. Highly recommended.

10/10We are eel lovers and this is the best eels we have ever had. It is tender and not too sweet. In US, the the sauce of eel dishes were often overly sweet, and the texture is tougher, maybe because they were frozen. We wish there are more cooked vegetables on the menu. We definitely will come back again!

10/10Excellent food, service and ambience. I have been to one other grilled eel restaurant in a different country but it was not Michelin recommended although still at the same price point. For first timer, don’t expect the heavily glazed unagi. It is more like the sea water eel. It is not fatty and rich. More lean and lightly season. Instead of togarashi, you can sprinkle lemon grass powder which elevate the taste. I would also suggest to order the eel starters. They have the eel jelly, eel liver and eel paste fried balls. I order black sesame custard and something similar to daifuku and they are so delicious.

10/10Second time here. A very nice place to enjoy Japanese food, which was excellent, but the rice for me wasn’t enough though. The waiter and waitress were also very friendly.

10/10Nice unagidon (grilled eel over rice) restaurant in Paris. Something merely impossible to find out Japan. One has choices including umaki (egg omelette with eels, like a wrapped omelette). The atmosphere and staff are the closest we get of Japan.

5/10It is a little bit pricy, no water or tea! 3.5euro for each Cup of little Japan's tea! It is just not Japanese traditions! Maybe this a Japanese Paris ways of service's?

7/10Honestly, food was quite nice, but my point of discarding so much pt from my rating is about the service. We had so much pressure to finish quickly our dinner while we cames at 9pm and stayed until 10:30pm. Even with the big bottle of sake, the lady always refill our cup every 3min, it was such a disappointment and I’ll never come back again due to the service.

8.5/10I have missed the taste of unagi. The food (menu degustation - koyo) was really good, just too salty for me. I really enjoyed the aromatic taste of the sake (junmai&junmai daiginjo). I liked the presentation of food and the ambience of the place (even without the tatami option). It was a fantastic experience in Paris.

9.5/10The food is delicious, and the staff are well-mannered. There are various eel dishes that worth tasting. Last but not least, don't miss the hand-made desert. It is a real traditional Japanese cuisine!!!
