Petite échoppe japonaise à Paris élaborant des sushis, des sashimis et des tapas japonisantes froides et chaudes.
Déclinaison en mode "cantine" (et donc plus simple) de l'établissement du 19e arrondissement, Koko est une véritable et authentique petite échoppe japonaise. C'est assez sobre avec ses murs de briques et ses petites tables de bistrot, et l'on s'y sent vraiment bien. La carte est vaste, c'est frais et, honnêtement, on hésite longuement avant de se lancer. Des sushis et des sashimis certes, mais aussi des rolls et des "ostsumamis", ces incroyables tapas japonisantes froides ou chaudes. C'est rapide, efficace, et on adore. Les prix sont relativement petits.

This delightful plate featured buckwheat gnocchi nestled in garlic cream, studded with hazelnuts, fried sage, and Parmesan, all crowned with a gently coddled egg. Each bite was a flavor bomb. While the gnocchi on its own could have used a touch more seasoning, everything together created a beautifully balanced and satisfying dish.
Next came the giant asparagus—drizzled with candied smoked egg yolk, cumin caramel, basil water, and sprinkled with salicorn (pickleweed). These unexpected combinations sang together in harmony. I eagerly mopped up every last drop with the accompanying crunchy bread.
I ended with a standout duck breast, perfectly cooked to tender, juicy perfection. It was paired with roasted parsnips and a rich, fragrant reduction laced with za’atar and tarragon. The sweetness of the parsnips played wonderfully against the richness of the duck. Though I was tempted, there was no room left for dessert.
Throughout the evening, the staff remained warm and helpful, offering thoughtful wine pairings to match their stunning dishes. I left with a spring in my step and a full heart, along with my belly!
Highly recommended—I’ll absolutely return to Terra Bar on my next visit to Paris.
The food, however, was lacking. We had the carrot tartlet, gnocchi, leg of lamb, and the cheese duo. The tartlet contents lacked flavor and the pastry was too sweet. The gnocchis also lacked flavor and there were only 3 which was disproportionate to the amount of sauce/egg. The lamb was served room temp and also lacked flavor except for the fatty bits, which there were a lot of. The side sauces were nice, but we barely had enough lamb meat to enjoy the sauces. The cheese duo was our favorite of the 4 dishes we ordered.
My fiancé ended up getting a tinge of food poisoning from this meal, which my hunch is from the potential inability to safely handle and prepare meat due to the incredibly small kitchen. We saw the veal and lamb sit on the counter in prep containers for the 1.5hrs we were seated. The small kitchen was impressive to watch them work, but sadly not at the cost of safe food handling.
