Fodor's Review:

It's rare to see a non-Japanese face in the bistrolike dining room of Kifune, where you can sit at the bar and admire the sushi chef's lightning-quick skills or opt for a more intimate table. The crab-and-shrimp salad is a sublime starter, and the miso soup with clams is deeply flavored. To follow, you can't go wrong with the sashimi. A meal here will leave a dent in your wallet (though there is a EUR 30 set menu at lunch), but some expats say you won't find anything closer to authentic Japanese cooking in Paris. With only 20 seats they often turn away would-be customers, so be sure to book.
