Bienvenue en Asie - Nice

I walked in around 8 PM on a Friday night for a takeaway order because my wife said she was still hungry and specifically wanted unagi. I ordered with the first staff and he sort of mumbled me off to another staff member and I tried to order the unagi. OK, she didn 't understand when I said the eel in English, which is totally understandable because we are in France, but when I said unagi in Japanese she had no idea what I was talking about. In my humble opinion, if you want to appropriate Japanese cuisine, you should at least have the respect to learn what the names of your dishes are. I don 't know where they are from but it 's not Japan. I sat for 40 minutes waiting for 2 small items for takeaway, so I had plenty of time to witness a weird barrage of generalised 'asian presence '. Thai and Arabic music on the stereo. Chinese noodle containers (which are not Chinese in any way, this is some Americanism that has been exported the world throughout, but at least are usually limited to Chinese restaurants), and who-knows-who-designed gaijin boat serving plates. C 'mon guys... That would be like me setting up a European restaurant that served crepes, goulash, and gravlax, and classified myself as Pasta . It would also be parallel if none of those items tasted the way the are supposed to taste in their respective countries. I 100% understand that food is adapted to local tastes, but this sort of blanket representation of asian food and asian culture is really daft, and I don 't care if it elicits a neutral response from the French or not. That further reinforces western ignorance to the east if I 'm honest. I might feel differently if the staff had been friendly or even shown basic manners, but they were clearly annoyed with me and I was sitting there for 40 minutes in an environment that was visibly uncomfortable to me. They were also arguing with each other and couldn 't seem to deal with their different inbound ordering channels (phone, internet, and walk-ins). They are clearly busy and popular, but they unfortunately ended up treating the customer with a nasty attitude. The unagi was not good.

We had a great dinner and it was very affordable much less than most Nice establishments. The sushi, Vietnamese spring rolls, dumplings and pad Thai were all delicious! Lovely people working in the restaurant too. We recommend and would go here again if staying longer!

Booked through the fork! 20% discount! Small clean restaurant, friendly staff, a little slow with bringing out mains would of liked them brought out together to share! No English menu so was a bit of a guessing game! But overall was tasty food! The sushi looked good (not our thing!! very good price for Nice!

Popped in for some of my favourite cuisine. Was welcomed warmly and seated. The place was not bad decor wise and looked clean. The food was very good and the best value for money I have seen since I arrived in Nice. Table service not the sharpest but a lovely nugget buried in the heart of the city overall!

Very pleasant for lunch, with an incomparable buffet, as for dinner with friends. well-designed menus and impeccable quality. service by the bosses; adorable people
