Affordable and cute lunch spot for Japanese curries — I like the veggie curry with marinated egg add-on! Sauce can be on the saltier side so would recommend not mixing all of it into rice.

Delicious Japanese curry. Very rich with delicious chicken or beef. It’s a very small space with only 3 round tables so you’re best off doing takeout. Staff were pretty friendly.

Curry chicken rice was not bad, fried chicken was very crispy but portion was quite small. The restaurant only has a few tables and limited seats, may have a queue for dine in.

Such an amazing and an exquisite taste. Most probably it’s the best curry i had in Paris. I’m so happy i tried this place. If you love curry, spices and a bit of a spicy taste this is the place to be. Very fulfilling and very tasty i highly recommend this place. Although it’s very cozy, so if you’re a group kind of be a bit difficult but still the curry is so gooddd.

Great spot for Japanese curry in the marais! Service was quick and staff were super nice. Loved the cosy atmosphere too. I had the fried pork curry and it was perfectly crispy, not dry at all. A decent sized portion as well. Perfect little break from shopping in the area!

Great curry and good homemade drinks. A small and simple menu.

Reviewing the coffee shop only: Interesting pastries but somewhat small portions. I ordered a coffee castella (a kind of Japanese traditional sponge cake) but could not really feel the coffee taste (maybe because I was also having a cup of coffee on the side). The flat white was rich in flavor. I would come back!

Stopped in at the cafe next door, great ambiance and specialty coffee drinks. The service is great and dialed in like cafes in Japan. Great location and hope to try the curry next door next time.

Tiny little restaurant tucked away on a quiet street in the Marais. Owned and operated by a charming gentleman named Phillipe. We stopped by for an early dinner this evening as they close at 7/730 PM ish. We sat at one of their little tables. It was super comfortable, perfect spot for a good dinner for 2. I suspect most of their business is take out. They charge a tad more for sur place (dining in). It's well worth the 1 Euro extra. CURRY JAPONAIS - PORC PANE Nothing like warm Japanese curry on a chilly Paris Evening. The pork was breaded and fried. The curry was rich and creamy yet not too spicey. The shaved ginger worked all so well with the other ingredients. Portion size was more than generous. When I return, I will most likely order the same dish. Just understand this place is not fancy. They don't have a wine list but do sell beer. They also have several vegetarian choices. When you want a good healthy meal, want to keep things simple and high quality you should come here. By the time we left the restaurant was full. My guess is they do quite well. Stop reading my review and come here!

The best thing I ate in Paris. Tiny little restaurant but so adorable and delicious. I think about it all the time! Will definitely be top of my list when I return to paris.

There's not many-or at all Japanese curry places around here. I was craving for some and found this place on Yelp. It's a cute and small place with three tables. I ordered the fried chicken curry with an egg and a croquette. The food was simply splendid. If you're around this area try it out. I'm not sure if this place does take out but it would be nice too.

Must try! Little shop in a not-so-obvious location. Very yummy curry! My family had Beef, Fried Pork Chop, Chicken Curry and Chicken Donbori. Everything was awesome! Wish I found this place earlier in our trip.

This was our favorite restaurant in Paris. It's a hole in the wall in the Marais that we happened upon when getting a cup of coffee at the cutest coffee shop across the street. We sat on stools and table made from plastic crates outside on a lovely Parisian afternoon and ordered the chicken curry which was simple yet exactly what we wanted. We fought to lick the plate clean at the end. It was so delicious we broke our "no repeating restaurants" rule and went back before we left town.

Best Japanese style curry. We came here our last trip to Paris and hoping to make it this time around too. The owner was so French in the best way possible and also the nicest guy. If you get tired of eating French food and need a asian fix, I would definitely give this place a try.

This is a tiny place with limited seats but the wait is so worthwhile. Their curry is delicious and it reminds me of my fav. Curry restaurant in japan called coco curry. Their menu is on the wall and i normally go with their special combination which includes beef and pork

If your tired of European food and want something different and good? Go here, it's close to the Picasso museum. Small place but good curry!

Absolutely delicious curry. I've been to Japan, and this curry was better than a lot of the ones I had there. The rice was also perfectly cooked. So many restaurants neglect the quality of rice preparation outside of Japan. Friendly service.

I can't believe this place only has 1 review. It is a hidden treasure. Delicious curry! So so so good. One of the best things we've eaten in Paris (or probably the best). The guy the runs the place is friendly and speaks good English. My husband and I have had a lot of curry, and this was awesome. Wish I could give 6 stars
