Nestled in Paris’ bustling 2nd arrondissement, **KIM Opéra Restaurant Japonais** delivers an astonishingly affordable Japanese feast at just €17.80 per person for dinner buffet. The "all-you-can-eat" system allows 5 rounds of ordering, with up to 6 dishes per round (unlimited portions!). While sashimi is limited to one serving per guest, its quality defies expectations—tuna (*akami*) is ruby-red and buttery, salmon richly marbled, all tasting ocean-fresh. Don’t miss their signature Kimaki Crousti (crispy sushi rolls) and Yakitori. The sushi rice shines with perfect vinegar balance and temperature, complementing the crunch of fried rolls flawlessly. Their house-blended soy sauce** is a revelation—patrons rave it’s "heavenly" and unlike any store-bought version. Service is warm despite occasional dinner rushes. We arrived 20 minutes before closing and were greeted with smiles, prompt seating, and swift dish deliveries. The modern-Japanese interior, paired with a relaxed vibe, makes it ideal for casual gatherings. While not a fine-dining Omakase spot, KIM Opéra excels as a go-to for hearty, authentic Japanese fare without breaking the bank. For €17.80, you get generous portions, fresh ingredients, and a prime location steps from the Opéra Garnier. Pro tip: Book ahead on weekends to snag the best seats!

Une assez grande variété de plats et de formules(maki, sushi, brochettes, wok…) et le service est globalement très bon, les serveurs sont très accueillants et sympathiques D’après ma discussion avec le gérant, pas mal de nouveautés vont arriver prochainement, hâte de découvrir tout ça ! (Translated by Google) I come to this restaurant almost every week for lunch. A fairly wide variety of dishes and menu options (maki, sushi, skewers, wok, etc.) and the service is generally very good; the servers are very welcoming and friendly. According to my conversation with the manager, quite a few new items will be arriving soon; I can't wait to try them all!

Très bon restaurant avec un personnel très gentil. (Translated by Google) Very good restaurant with very nice staff.

KIM est un excellent restaurant japonais. Le buffet à volonté pour moins de 20€ est un rapport qualité-prix imbattable pour le quartier. Si vous êtes nombreux, il est préférable de réserver, le restaurant se remplit parfois très vite. (Translated by Google) KIM is an excellent Japanese restaurant. The all-you-can-eat buffet for less than €20 is unbeatable value for money in the area. If you're traveling with a large group, it's best to make a reservation, as the restaurant sometimes fills up very quickly.
