"In my experience, this is one of the best Japanese restaurants I have come across in Paris, and I make a bee-line for it every time I stay in the nearby Ibis Alesia-Montparnasse, Paris 14eme...it's my favourite restaurant in the area. (It is also known as "TOKYO" Delices d'Asie.) The place is also well frequented by the locals, and I have eaten there myself regularly over the past few years, always finding its high standard maintained. Also, due to her outrageous comments, I can only assume that "Salome 1345” was reviewing another restaurant, or perhaps works for a rival business (a common occurrence on Tripadvisor sadly), hence my motivation to put the record straight by writing this review!Tokyo offers delicious fresh food at an incredibly reasonable price. My favourite meal, and also highly recommended, is a fixed-price menu (menu 5, Maki Brochettes) that includes a bowl of miso soup, followed by a refreshing cabbage "salad" (a bit like coleslaw, only tastier), followed by 6 pieces of sublime California Maki (which I recommend dipping in the "sauce sucré"), and the final course is a bowl of rice with 4 Yakitori/brochettes (mini kebabs): melted cheese wrapped in a wafer thin slice of beef, chicken thigh, chicken wing, and chicken meatballs...all mouth-wateringly delicious. All that for 12.50€! The house wine is good value too: 50cl costing less than 5€. I normally dine alone, but once there with my partner, the meal for the two of us, plus half a litre of Rosé wine, came to just under 30€. We'd have happily paid double that to get as good a meal, and in the UK that's probably what I would have to pay, if only we could find a decent Japanese nearby, like Tokyo. My partner was so impressed (and it takes a lot to impress him), we ate there twice in 4 days.Also, if you are a bit of a novice when it comes to Japanese food, as I was once, French Japanese restaurants have this lovely habit of printing appetising photographs of the various dishes on offer, which I find definitely helps you in making your choice. The service, too, is very efficient, possibly too efficient, in that if I am eating alone, I can be in and out in less than an hour! But as I am often in a hurry, that suits me fine. I'm surprised Tokyo has not received further praise from Tripadvisor fans, so I can only assume that those of us "in the know" have preferred to keep it quiet, otherwise if it became too well known, we would not be able to get a table there ourselves! If you like Japanese food, I heartily recommend Tokyo. In fact, I didn't even know I liked Japanese food until I found this place...now I love it!"
