The 43 best spots for ramen in Paris

Reliving the atmosphere of a Japanese fish market right in the heart of Paris, that’s exactly what Kodawari Ramen Tsukiji offers. From the moment you step inside, the details are incredible: the sounds, the lights, the decor… you truly feel transported. The ramen is delicious and full of flavor. I tried the sea bream broth, light, rich with an egg, and perfectly balanced, and the noodles were cooked just right. The staff are friendly and professional, and the service runs smoothly even when it’s busy. It does get crowded, especially on weekends, so be prepared to wait a bit, or try early dinners, but it’s absolutely worth it. The whole experience feels authentic and full of life. Enjoy 😊

An exceptional spot in Paris — probably the best ramen I’ve ever had in my life. The fact that we waited an hour and a half to get in didn’t bother us at all, because the reward of tasting that menu was absolutely worth it. I recommend it without hesitation. If I lived in Paris, I’d be there every week. A unique place with a distinctive concept and décor. The food is simply unforgettable. It’s worth the wait — just make sure to scan the QR code at the entrance to join the waiting list before getting in line.

This place is honestly one of the best ramen places I’ve ever been to! The moment you walk in, it feels like you’re in a fish market, the vibe is so cool and detailed. The ramen is incredible. It’s rich broth, chewy noodles, and everything just comes together perfectly. The staff are friendly and the service is quick. It’s such a great experience overall, definitely a must-visit when you’re in Paris!

We have never been to Japan, but we are big fans of Japanese food. The concept of this restaurant was amazing: sitting by a “fishing dock,” with boat equipment around, the sound of water, the boat engine, and the staff speaking loudly in Japanese — probably talking about fishing, the sea, and boats. It was incredibly interesting. I had never experienced anything like this before, and I loved the whole atmosphere. The noise, the friendly chaos, the warm and kind staff, and the perfectly balanced design details all made it very special. The recorded sound was at the perfect level, the details were thoughtful, and even the staff’s voices and coordination felt authentic. It became one of my best Japanese restaurant experiences ever. For a moment, I felt like I was living in Japan, right by the water, next to real fishermen. Unbelievable — and of course, the food was excellent, and the Japanese cola was a lovely touch.

Hidden behind an unassuming door is a whole Japanese fish market! 🐟🇯🇵 The moment you step inside, it feels like you’ve been transported straight to Japan — from the bustling background sounds to the lively shouts of Japanese fishmongers. The atmosphere is insanely realistic and immersive! I ordered the classic Shoyu Ramen de Sardine, and it was amazing — sardines with rich pork bone broth, perfectly chewy noodles, and a deep, savory flavor. One of the most authentic ramen experiences I’ve had outside of Japan. 🍜 The decor deserves special mention. You can tell the owner put so much heart into it — fish crates, a retro ’90s dial phone, a small TV looping Japanese commercials, even a slightly dirty dishcloth in the corner (in the best nostalgic way!). Every detail feels intentional and true to the theme. Overall, an absolutely stunning ramen spot. If you love Japanese vibes and authentic flavors, this place is a must-visit! 🌊✨

After exploring dozens if not hundreds or ramens in Tokyo, New York, and numerous well rated places globally , I think this is one of the best experiences I ever had. The setting is unique and beautiful and the gimmick of the decor is well balanced so you feel it’s unique and not over done. The queue is well managed and advanced - especially in that quarter and the food itself is really good and rich- the menu is unique in the local ramen scene as well. I can’t rate this high enough - go if you are in the area

This place is incredibly overhyped given the Instagrammable vibes and, let's face it, 95% of diners are tourists. That said, if you can weather through the incredible line, the ridiculously long wait (or go off-hours during colder months), the horrendous service and the fact that you'll be packed like sardines in tables with fake fish installations, you'll discover that their ramen is actually pretty damn good. Don't bother with the "open style gyoza"; focus your efforts on the ramen with their unique fish-based broth. It's genuinely worth trying.

Nestled in the vibrant 6 Rue de la Grange Bateliere, Neko Ramen is a go-to spot for ramen lovers seeking a cozy yet lively atmosphere. Be ready for a bustling experience during lunch hours, as this place attracts a crowd of both locals and visitors eager to dig into some hearty bowls. The service is commendable, with friendly staff ready to take your order and ensure you feel welcome, even when the place is packed. When it comes to the ramen, the portions are generous, and the broth delivers good flavor. However, the taste can be a bit of a hit and miss depending on your palate. The noodles have a chewiness to them that some might find a little tough, but they’re still enjoyable. The highlight for me was the pork slices; they were tender and packed with flavor, making them a great complement to the dish. If you're in the mood for ramen and don’t mind a little crowd, this spot is worth a try. Just know that while some elements shine, there might be a few things that could use tweaking.

A very cozy place in the middle of le Passage Verdeau. The ambiance is nice and I loved sitting outside in the corridor. We ordered the karaage, the yakisoba, a tonkotsu ramen, a shio ramen and a katsudon. For drinks, we had the yuzu highball and the neko blossom. When we got the food, we were all impressed by the presentation. Nice and colourful, all very inviting. The highlight was for sure the karaage. Big and juicy pieces of chicken with a nice mayo sauce with some cabbage. Plus, we loved the yuzu highball and the neko blossom, both very flavourful. Those are the three things I highly recommend! The shio ramen was light and tasty. The chicken was also on point. The yakisoba was pretty good, but the soba felt overcooked(?) so the noodles were soggy. Not a big deal really. The katsudon had a nice taste. Finally for the tonkotsu ramen. I came with high expectations considering the chef seems to have studied in Japan. The broth lacked the distinct sweet or umami taste that tonkotsu ramen should have. Instead, it was just salty. The noodles didn’t really feel like the ramen noodles I’m used to. Instead of chewy, it kind of just breaks down after every bite. And for the porc, I guess it’s my fault for expecting chashu because that’s what usually comes with tonkotsu ramen. Instead, I got pieces that lacked the soy sauce/mirin/sake marinade taste. On the other hand, it was well cooked. I’m sure that the menu was adapted to the french palate so I don’t want to say that it was bad, just not to my liking I guess. I’m only speaking by what I experienced in Japan and all the ramen locations we have back home in Montreal, which were also made by Japanese chefs (and were closer in taste to Japan). Bref, very reasonable prices for the quantity that we got and quick service. We were all well satiated by the end of our meal.

Though it is called Neko Ramen, I am not sure ramen is their strongest suit. I ordered a Shio ramen for lunch and I personally find the noodles overcooked and the broth rathe blend. And I only got a spoon (?) for my dish 😅 so I had to ask for a pair of chopsticks. Saw the girls next to me ordered some sort of fried chicken and it looked really good. Perhaps I should try something else next time, just not ramen 🤔. Another thing to note is that the portion is on the small side, so if you are hungry please do take their formula so you are also getting rice or entree on the side.

The ramen is amazing but the service is terrible. The waiter took very long to take our order, later they brought my friend his beer but forgot my drink, and our ramen came before the appetizer, which still hasn’t arrived while I’m writing this review. Good food, but with this service I wouldn’t come back again since there are plenty of other ramen places around. Part 2… contd Finally got the waiter’s attention after 10 minutes... They confirmed they forgot my drink and didn’t even punch in the appetizer.

Very recommended place for having a traditional Japanese food. Food was delicious! I took the ramen with chicken and add some spicy to it. As well we took the gyoza and it was delicious too. The service was good, we were served quickly and kindly. The place had a lovely atmosphere with Japanese writing and decorations. Overall great experience, I recommend for people who never had ramen before and for people who already had in the past!

AVOID this place if you don’t want DIARRHOEA. Food was not fresh. If you checked some of the reviews properly and not the cover up reviews, you will see all the bad reviews about this place. Food tasted really horrible. Tonkotsu ramen was bland, noodles used are frozen and there was weird smell. And the worst thing is that foods here gave us FOOD POISONING. Customers service was not very pleasant. Staff aren’t rude but not at all attentive. I saw Chef and waiting staff having snacks behind the ramen bar which i find it very unhygienic. Nothing wrong with eating but not during service as not between serving customers. A lot of customers near my table waited a while to get the staffs’ attention just to order to get, drinks or bills. I think owners or managers should try and improve the hygiene level, food flavours and customer service asap instead of focusing on getting good reviews to cover up the true and honest feedback about this business.

Ordered the shoyu ramen with toppings. Very delicious broth with good dept of flavour. Toppings were fresh and added a good variety in flavour and texture. Very fast and friendly service. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious asian meal, even if you are on a budget.

Tiny place located in the Japanese area near Rue Saint-Anne. Depending on time of day or night, there may be a line. This place was super busy on a Wednesday evening 930pm. The wait was not too long even with a line; it was near closing time. Open kitchen lined by L- shape seating and a few seats in front of the window. Nice atmosphere and welcoming staff. Ordered the miso ramen, normal consistency (which I believe refers to the thickness of the broth), with an egg added. Présentation and smell were appealing to the senses. Broth itself was flavorful and thick. The miso flavor didn't really come through too much. If you're used to lighter salt in your diet, then this will be salty for you. It was nice to watch the chef's process in making the ramen to order. 🙂

Their ramen is extremely rich so be prepared. Very strong flavor and very thick soup. Lots of topping so it fills you up. Service is fast and quick too. However €18 for a bowl of ramen might feel a bit overpriced but it is Paris.

If you wand to avoid the lunch queue, I would go there 30 minutes before the service starts (12.00). We arrived at 12.00 and there was such a long queue already, we had to queue for 40 minutes… but knowing the size of the restaurant and how lean the service is, it is quite understandable. I have to say it is definitely worth the wait, it’s one of the best ramen restaurants in Paris, the broth has a flavorful umami depth, without being too salty or thick like typical ramen soup can be, the noodles are al dente. The seaweed provides the broth a touch of marine taste. The bowl took me instantly back to Kyoto!

Excellent authentic ramen place. Super busy and be prepared to queue. Excellent service from the busy staff. We ordered two special miso ramens. The noddles were the perfect texture, and the broth was packed full of flavour. You are given a choice of light , medium, strong tasting soup. Obviously the broth goes stronger tasting and thicker as you go up. I would recommend light or at most medium for people going for the first time. N.b if the broth is too strong for you - you can order more plain pork broth to dilute it. Very impressed.

The ramen tastes good. I give the overall taste 4 star. However, the soup is too salty. With too salty, I mean it's as salty as sea water. I know that I can ask for broth to dilute the saltiness but it doesn't make sense why the restaurant doesn't serve it less salty by default and let the people add more salt or whatever special sauce when they want. I chose normal level of pork fat and it turned out to be a little bit fattier than other restaurant but it's still in a good range and I like it. However, for the next time, I'll choose less fat. I minus one star because they don't receive ticket restaurant. The restaurant is quite small and the queue will be very long if you come late.

BEST ramen I’ve had in my life. I crave it all the time. It is worth the wait. I’ve eaten here 3 times. A bowl costs 14€. My favourite is the soya based ramen (white bowl) however the miso based one (black bowl) is great as well. If you’re Asian and you like your ramen broth salty go for the “kotteri” level of intensity. 100% recommended. It’s always a great meal here.

Excellent ramen restaurant. We waited for 15 min to get in at 1:30 on a Sunday. They took our order when we were still in line, so we got the ramen soon after seated, which is awesome. We ordered Miso (sappari) and Shoyu ramen (normal) and both were good. Their chashu pork was excellent.

Authentic Hakata ramen in downtown Paris , 17-20 euros, worth every cent. Soup tastes just right, noodles of the right texture and temperature is just right . The pork is perfectly cooked. Don’t go there for the decor but for the food.

Anything we had was amazing and super tasty but their Ramen was the star. There was a short queue outside, but we were served pretty quickly.

OMG! 😱 Possibly, the best ramen I've ever had. I took the special one, with black and red sauce, and egg. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the broth super tasty and the black and red sauces, amazingly good. We also had some gyoza, and they were also excellent. A bit crispy on the base, super good. The service was super friendly and reasonably fast. The only thing that was not very good was the room. It was too hot inside, and no AC. Only a small fan far away, and a window slightly open. I'm adding this restaurant to my favorites, and will come back for sure.

One of my favourite ramen places! Great ramen with toppings and recommend the gyoza 🥟

We had the Tonkatsu ramen. Happy to finally had some authentic Japanese Ramen in Europe. Tasty soup, springy noodles, tender pork. Water is served. We came at the opening hour and there wasn't a queue but the restaurant fills up quickly.

Delicious food and great service. Everything came out quickly and just as we ordered. We happened to make it right before evening rush started and were seated quickly. We were near the door though, which made it a bit cold, but the food warmed us right up.

I could put less stars because there is one vegetarian option which is deceiving. But I put 5 because i was surprised of how good the only vegetarian option was. I really recommend this place and i hope one day there will be more vegetarian even VEGAN options there.

Delicious ramen and chicken rice. Came here on a Sunday night, not crowded, so easy to chat with friends. The restaurant is cozy and the service is good.

Food is acceptable. Waitress to tonight was dishonest. Added extra boiled egg to the meal when there was already included one. 26 euros for a bowl of ramen with meagre slices of porc roti, and nori. Noodles not the best. Last time I go.

I felt really welcome and comfortable here. We came for dinner on two evenings during our stay in Paris. On the first day I had chicken shoyu, and on the second day I tried zaru ramen. Both were light and tasty. My husband had the Akamaru and was impressed that it tasted just like Ippudo in Japan. They also have a kids’ menu! My children really liked the fried dumplings.

Great Ramen. The best I found in Paris so far. The broth was really good and so were the toppings, but a special callout to the perfectly cooked noodles. I took the ”spicy” Ramen which was excellent, even though I would say it was particularly spicy. Space is tight and tables close to each other, so not a place if you want to have a nice dinner for two.

Absolutely stunning! A great and very tasty ramen in Paris! What more can you ask for? Beer? Well, they have it as well!

Waited in line for an hour before we got our table. Food arrived pretty quickly. This is a casual ramen place with quick turnover. Recommend going in pairs or solo because tables are small. The spicy pork broth was thick and delicious - loved the mushrooms. The veggie broth however lacked flavor and was boring. The desserts were amazing - get the chocolate one. Ramen can cost up to €19. Fun experience overall!

Decent ramen place the broth was not as elaborate as i have seen. Chicken buns were delicious. i would skip the octopus balls. mostly dough. decent but no repeat for me.

This may have been one of the best vegetarian ramens I have ever had. No need to order kae-dama they put plenty of noodles in and the broth is very hot and very tasteful! I got the veggie miso ramen with added egg & garlic.

The best ramen you can get in Paris! The quality of the producta was really high, the ramen were delicious, big portions, great value for money. I highly recommend it if you want a Vegetarian ramen , otherwise options with pork. Cute, small restaurant, good service

One of the best Karaage ever! I had Miso Ramen und was delish too🥰😋

Ramen was decent. Not really the type of ramen I had in Japan or north america but still tasty. Could be the difference in ingredients. The noodle, especially, was not like any other ramen noodle i've had before. Taste and texture was more akin to pasta than ramen. However, the biggest disappointment, in otherwise a perfectly acceptable dining experience, was the fact that they added a tip to my credit card bill. I understand this is illegal in France. I may be wrong. However, businesses should not treat tourist customers as someone they can easily target and treat differently from locals. So for tourists, I would not recommend.

I recently visited Menkicchi Ramen and it was a great experience. The restaurant is tiny and does not accept reservations so we had to wait for 1 hour outside and it was 0 degrees. Other than that, the service is quite nice and quick! The waiters are always smiling and the atmosphere is okay. The chefs cook in front of you its quite nice to watch them. The food is delicious, thick and their is good flavour. There is two options if you don’t eat pork and this is quite limiting. Portions are generous and quite fair prices. I recommend to visit it but if you don’t eat pork try to find other places as there is no beef or chicken Ramen.

Small, but a gem! Tried their shio, shoyu, miso, all had a hint of different catch to it. The pork is so soft and good. The broth paired well with the thick ramen. Recommend to give it a try.

I encountered some hygiene issues during my recent visit. Unfortunately, I found myself chewing on an elastic band in the ramen, which was quite off-putting. Additionally, the toilet was dirty and had a strong unpleasant odor. The food was overly salty too.

Ramen was done really well, and for the first time in France, they got it right when I asked for hard noodles. Broth is good but not wow. I had the yuzu chicken broth. Was expecting a more creamy chicken broth, the one you’ll get by cooking the broth really long. Yuzu taste was very faint, besides the dollop of yuzu kosho added on the top. Service was ok but could be improved. I was alone and could have been placed at the counter earlier, instead of waiting along with other bigger groups.

I took tan tan ramen, it was ok. The noodles were a bit thicker but it was spicy enough for a tantan compared to my expectation The sashimi does not worth the price so I don’t recommend it. The gyoza was nice with the sauce.

Very Japanese local flavor Always a long queue, need to wait for a little bit. The timing is acceptable (lunch time). Ramen is tasty.

Great food and great service! Broth is authentic and flavourful, would recommend. I asked for recommendation and their classic is the chicken / pork ramen with broth. Really good and around 20€ I recommend :)

A laid back walk in authentic Japanese restaurant. We had a good time here, the food was fine, our yuzu ramen was not as expected but the tuna and salmon bowl was great. It would be nice to have more drink by glass options. Overall, the service was good and atmosphere was also nice and not too loud. a great place to hang out with friends.

Was recommended this place by a friend and was excited to see yuzu ramen on the menu. Last time I tried was at Afuri in Tokyo and it was quite an interesting experience so I wanted to try it again. The soup was a chicken soup base with quite a strong flavour of yuzu, it wasn’t as heavy as the usual ramen soup as the yuzu gives it a very clean and healthy flavour. Noodles were cooked perfect and loved the ajitama, it was just the right amount of saltiness and melts in your mouth. Simple goodness but it’s not always done very well. Overall, I would say it’s one of the best ramens I’ve had in Paris, would definitely visit again to tried the normal ramen. The place gets busy quickly during lunch hours even on weekdays from the office crowds. Recommend visiting on the dot when the place opens.

Very impressed with the food here. Special mention for the Tan-Tan which got better with each bite, and the yuzu sorbet was such a delight to finish the meal. Very pleasant staff. Will certainly return.

The soup is not even hot and contains some stuck-together noodles. This isn’t ramen; it’s just instant noodles with a mediocre taste. When I told the server there was something in the soup, he didn’t seem bothered at all.

i am not a big fan of ramen soup but since i was within the area and it was cloudy (bit rainy too), so i decided to have a ramen soup. This is my 2nd time in this authentic japanese restaurant..Last time was in 2022. Soup was served in 10mins. It was good, with freshly cooked ingrédients and meat. not salty at all like most of my past ramens. Waitress was so corteous . Will try a non ramen dish if ever i come back🤞.

I went for lunch with my 3 girls and their friend. We really enjoyed the simple yet warm atmosphere. The waitress was very patient and recommended what to order for the kids. The service was fast. They absolutely loved their food! The plates are generous, look and taste good!

My go-to for Japanese comfort food. I love everything about this restaurant. Dishes are served piping hot. Tasty and generous serving.

I recently visited Kadoya, a Japanese restaurant in Paris, specifically to try their ramen. With the winter chill in the air, we were craving something familiar, hot, and spicy, and ramen seemed like the perfect choice. We visited during late lunch, and the space was really small but cozy. We had the warmest waitress who was very patient and attentive to our demands. Most of our table ordered the Tantanmen, which consists of minced turkey, vegetables, pork slices, peanuts, and sesame. This dish was marked as spicy on the menu. The rest of the table opted for the Spicy Tori Paitan, which features ramen with fried chicken slices, egg, and vegetables, and is also considered spicy. Unfortunately, my Tantanmen did not live up to its spicy promise. Even after being offered extra pepper, it lacked the zing I was hoping for. This was one of those meals where I wished I had my pepper sauce with me. However, we made the best of it, and while the soup was nice-ish, it could have been much better with more pepper. I understand that French cuisine doesn't typically include the level of spice we enjoy in West Africa, but I believe that catering to a diverse crowd should include having actual hot sauce available for those who prefer it. The restaurant has only one restroom, which is pretty rustic but cute nonetheless. Overall, I would rate my experience at Kadoya a 5/10.

The people there are very friendly and so parient they helped us through and the food was so tasty we really liked it 😋😋😋 The chicken ramen and the noodles with shrimps were very tasty

Kadoya was a spur of the moment decision while we were in Paris and I will say if you are in need of a solid, quick, and fulfilling meal I wouldn’t hesitate to go here. If you really care about the best Japanese food in town you probably won’t be super satisfied. We had a positive experience overall with the food being good, the staff being friendly, and us leaving full and satisfied.

We are so lucky to live close-by this amazing sushi place. It has been our absolute favourite for the past more than 5 years and the standard, the service and the food has always remained elevated.

Visited several times with my daughter. Good quality. Price normal for Paris, but otherwise a bit high.

Not a fan of "Japanese Food" places run by non-Japanese... They always mix flavors...And while that can sometimes be a good thing in the hands of a true chef, most of the time it's just confusing. Sweet Chili dipping sauce for shrimp tempura is a crime. The wrong tempura batter is a crime. My friend's pan fried whole dorado was no longer fresh and made him sick for a day.

Delicious food and smiling and helpful staff

My go to place every week. Amazing food and service. 100% recommend for fresh fish.

Nice place, good food. The staff did not speak English, but we managed and had a good experience. A bit on the pricey side, but the have a deal for 2 dishes, miso soup, rice and a salad. It was good.

Very bad experience with waiters. Food is frankly average quality but I will never come back to this place after having experienced how impolite and disrespectful the waiters are. They took the liberty to blame my 12 months daughter for the noise made. Never again.

Very good traditional japonais food in sainte Anne street in Paris. I have been there several times and will go beach again. The food is actually very good if you like Asian and notably the japonais food. The service is very quick, but not caring. Most of the time there is a line outside that you have to wait 10-20 minutes. No reservations needed. The ambiance is just ok. Enjoy!

If you love Japanese food this is a place to go. Absolutely delicious. Thank you for the staff and chefs who brings this simple and very important joy into lives

I always see people lining up for this resto and finally tried it yesterday. The food was really average, yakisoba was okay, the ramen soup was too salty. For the price it didn’t hurt to try, but it’s not a place I’d line up for.

Came just right at the time they open 11.30am. Already few people obviously as hungry as I am. First time here. Selected Menu A @€15: Shiosu ramen + 7 Gyosa Gyosa was good but not fried enough. The ramen soup was well seasoned and flavored though the noodle was more a Chinese egg noodle than Japanese true ramen. It was tasty though a bit shy of another slice of meat (probably because it’s the menu). The service was very fast and efficient and no unnecessary talk. It’s definitely more of eat and go than taking all the time in the world.

We ordere shio l/ramen, miso ramen, and gyoza, and all are good. The broth is clean yet flavorful, not too heavy. The noodles taste fresh, a little bit clumpy, but I think it’s because it’s homemade. The gyoza is really good, very recommended! I have been to several good ramen places and I like this place so much. The place might be very hot in a summer day, it was 26 °C when I visited and it was barely bearable.

Delicious Japanese food, easy going, need to line up around 20 mins

The butter corn lamen was heaven and so reasonably priced. Had to wait in line for about 15 minutes, but so worth it, the food was excellent and I loved the ambience as well.

Ramen was so great from the noodle to soup. The floor was sticky, and I could not sit quite comfortably. Just eat and go, then definitely happy to be here.

Best broth by far. They have few choices but good ones. Fast and kind staff too. However , this place feels like a sauna after a while. Proper ventilation (not fans!) for better air circulation is needed.

Very Tasty. Fast service. Spicy ramen well-spiced however not overly so. Recommended. Also "en anglais"

Certainly not among the best places to serve ramen in Paris. They're not bad, but not traditional either. However, this place is open until quite late at night, which is a clear plus to get dinner outside of the usual working hours. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is clean but small, quite packed during the day.

My favorite ramen place in Paris. Ramen is very easy to find in the neighbourhood but not like the non-authentic Chinese owned restaurants, this one is the real thing. Special recipe for winter (with black sesames) and cold (no broth) ramen for summer. The gyoza tastes homemade. The big bowl is h-u-g-e so choose wisely Friendly staff, no minimum for credit card payment. Non-stop service and no reservation.

Cute little ramen noodle shop. There was a line when I got there but the wait was well worth it! Ordered the small bowl and it was still a lot to eat. Price was not over the top and beer was nice and cold. Chefs and staff were very friendly with everyone and broth was perfect. Highly recommend and will be back next year.

best ramen in Paris!! I don't like anything too salty and choosing Tsutaya is a reasonable choice for me. The small portion was enough for me, the staff said that the large portion would be a lot and you have to be hungry enough and have a big stomach if you want to finish it. Plus, we were lucky because we didn't have to wait in line this time (they're so popular that there's always a long line) and their flavors proved the wait was worth it!

Quite a ramen fan and been to many places worldwide. For 20 euros one would not expect such a small serving of ramen, the paper thin chicken / duck meat taste like those ready-made salad meat from supermarket, the use of raw coarsely chopped red onion pieces AND a slice of lemon are unusual for authentic Japanese ramen. Also uses spring onions instead of finely chopped Japanese leek. The noodles are average and on the soft side. The only saving grace is the pan fried gyoza. The ramen with thick soup is quite odd , the soup has the texture of salted cappuccino foam.

Not going to lie, I was disappointed after visiting this place for the second time in a few years. The sesame broth was super creamy and bland, really flat! I appreciate the starters and the tsukemen though, it’s well made and the karaage is lovely. Ramen lacks flavor though. But great service and atmosphere thanks to the wood and jazz.

My wife and I came to dine here on a Wednesday evening without a reservation and were luckily seated shortly. We were kindly greeted by who we later found out was the chef and sat right by the kitchen where we saw all the action. I ordered the thick broth ramen with house made chili oil and sesame paste and this was by far the best meal I had in Paris and dare I say.. maybe one of the best ramen bowls I’ve ever had in my life. It’s a bit heavier than my wife’s classic one with mussel oil but boy was I enjoying my ride to flavor town. Each bite and slurp was so heavenly and just the right amount of richness.. from the tender meats (2 birds (chicken & duck!) in 1 bowl), crunchy textures, & that amazing chicken broth, everything just complimented each other so well. I’m someone who loves a good crunch in my meal, and this one didn’t disappoint with the crunchy leek, chopped onions, and fresh bok choy! Ramen noodles were not too firm and not too soft, a perfect in between. I usually don’t like spicy (mild at the most) and anyone on the same boat doesn’t have to worry about that chili oil cause it only adds to the flavor without the burn. And that chicken broth… NEXT LEVEL! I had chicken broth ramen in Tokyo and though I love both, I might have to give extra brownie points for Ryukishin for the loaded party bowl and only 5 minute wait time to be seated on a busy night. We left completely satisfied and chef greeted us goodbye as we walked our happy, full bellies back to our hotel. Highly recommend for any ramen lover or first time visitor in Paris! You will not regret. Arigato!

Small, cozy restaurant. We Booked in advance. Fast and good service. Good food also. We ordered both the clear and sesame broth ramen. Both were good. We also ordered the yuzu cheesecake which was very good.

Hot Ramen: 8.5/10 Cold Ramen: 6/10 Total: 7/10 We tried two ramen dishes during our visit—one hot, one cold—to get a feel for both ends of the menu. The hot ramen was quite solid. I’d give it an 8.5 out of 10. The broth was thick, creamy, and beautifully rich. I appreciated how the ingredients and broth were served separately—it kept everything vibrant and fresh until you combined them. That said, it could’ve used a touch more depth—maybe a hint of char, a smokier edge, or some darker miso flavor to round it out. Still, definitely enjoyable. The cold ramen, on the other hand, didn’t work for me at all. I would rate it a 6 out of 10. I can acknowledge the creativity and the interesting blend of flavors—it wasn’t boring—but the end result was far from tasty. It felt more like an experimental dish than something you’d expect to savor. Definitely not something I’d reorder. We also shared some boiled dumplings as an appetizer, which felt underwhelming, especially considering the overall bill came to around €40. The dumplings lacked impact and didn’t feel like a good value for the price point. Total score: 7 out of 10. While the experience had its high point with the hot ramen, the rest didn’t quite justify the cost. Probably wouldn’t return.

Edit: came back a year later to get the seasonal tomato ramen I was dreaming about all year (🤣) but sad to discover they changed the recipe. The broth is less rich, it felt like they added corn flour or some kind of thickener(??) I wasn’t a fan of the texture. I attached a photo so you can compare the color of the two. I hope they can bring back the vegan tomato ramen from before. It was a lot more flavorful. :( changing my rating from 5 stars to 4 because of this. Service was still great. ————————— Review from my first visit in 2024: A little pricey but really exceptional vegan ramen. Had the seasonal tomato vegan ramen with yummy toppings like asparagus and mushrooms, and the broth was so rich and creamy and flavorful. Might be the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had (even better than T’s TanTan in Tokyo which used to be my favorite). The vegetable tempura was also perfect, served with a special matcha sea salt. Service was lovely too. I’ll definitely be back!

Paitan classic broth is creamy but missing some taste Boiled dumpling was tasty with some soup Edamame is classic

The guy who showed us to our table was very friendly and welcoming, as for the waitress (the only waitress there) just had an attitude. Idk if is towards Americans or just in general. We try to learn the language and culture as we do to every country we visit. But you can tell she was just an order taker. You couldn’t ask her for recommendations if you did she sighed as if we are annoying her. And I understand here in Europe smoking is allowed everywhere but don’t smoke on the doorway to the business step a little more to the side

The ramen here was delicious and will definitely be my new go-to place for it in paris! The staff were friendly and my order arrived really quickly, which was a surprise because the place was very full! Definitely will recommend the place to my friends!

If you’re looking for delicious ramen in Paris, this place is for you. It’s small, quaint, cozy, and is frequented by a lot of locals. I visited on a Wednesday and it was very crowded. The service was great but slightly slow as they seemed to have more delivery orders than sit down orders. The food was delicious, the drinks were refreshing, and the staff was very nice and helpful with choosing a good option to eat. The broth in the ramen is warm and comforting!

I got the signature ramen. For me the truffle was a bit much. But I do like the Foie gra is quite nice combination. The broth is too salty, especially the traditional ramen. I think the staff isn't so friendly and helpful but they did their job.

Delicious ramen soup made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. I really appreciated the ceramic bowls and the carafe for water, thoughtful touches that show great attention to detail. The owner’s warm welcome and the kindness of the staff made the experience even better. A lovely lunch spot to enjoy authentic Asian flavors!

The ramen is nice with a lot of flavor. The matcha lemonade was ok. quick service and welcoming staff.

The ramen was delicious. I ordered chicken and it was beyond my expectations. I truly recommend it if you like do not eat pork amd want to try ramen. I loved it .

Zen Restaurant Paris. A place where we can enjoy authentic japanese cuisine with a reasonable price in the heart of Paris. We got a set of fish bowls and a set of grilled salmon. Food was delicious and refreshing and perfect for ending the day. The dessert was surprisingly very delicious with Tofu and homemade jam. We would definitely go back again. Recommended.

Good taste, suffisant portion. Good price for lunch in the weekend. The staff is helpful. I would however prefer to use permanent chopsticks than disposable ones. The restaurant is small and very well located.

Everything was great. The zen menu is a fantastic way to get a good value for price. Got tonkatsu was perfect. The panko crevettes were good too! Service is wonderful. The tiramisu was super balanced not too sweet, just as it needs to be!

Went there on a rainy day, sat outdoors well covered from the rain. Service was good, unfortunate that a group of 6 Germans also looking to get cover from the rain sat behind us. Needless to say they were very loud. It made the experience subpar. Food was alright, above average maybe expectations were too high because of the Michelin big gourmand awards. Ordered the unagi set for 38 euros, feels a bit pricey for mostly rice. Probably won’t go back again but definitely not bad - deserving of a 3.5/5. Still better than 90% of Japanese restaurants in Rue st Anne.

One of the most disappointing Japanese meals I’ve had. We decided to dine here after seeing the Michelin sign outside, expecting at least a decent experience. Unfortunately, most of the dishes we ordered with my family were extremely salty — especially the beef and pork rice bowls, which were almost inedible. The unagi (eel) rice tasted unmistakably like it came from a frozen pack, and the fish in general had a strong, unpleasant smell — like it had been frozen for months. I’ve had far better meals at basic chains like Yoshinoya in Tokyo — their 500-yen beef bowls are far superior. Even at the same price range in New York, you can find much better Japanese food. Sadly, I cannot recommend this place.

Eel is so amazing ! Everyone love it and really want to come back. The restaurant is so crowded on the day we went and they cant serve sushi since it will take too long

The sushi plate and chirashi bowl are very delicious with high quality fish! Lunch service might be a bit slow but it’s in city centre, so no complain. Highly recommend!

The portion of beef ramen (the royal one) was huge, very filling, the taste however didn’t meet my expectations. With the menu option we got 4 gyozas, chicken and vegetable, they were good. The service was not bad.

I went to this place because my family wanted to try the ramen. I wasn’t sure if I was going to eat there at all since it was 80 degrees outside. But I ended up getting the rice and beef with edamame on the side, and the chicken bites for starters were really good. The menu has a barcode that you can scan to read the menu in English if you need it. My food was delicious, the service was good, and the ambiance was great.

The ramen was delicious and the gyoza were really tasty as well. Everything was served quickly and the service was excellent. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Honestly it was a really good experience! The portions were big and I loved that there are halal options! We also didn't have to wait that much and the service was splendid. Definitely coming back again!

Best ramen I've eaten hands down. Rice and chicken are also good, but ramen is the best here

I've eaten in probably hundred different ramen places, mostly in Japan, but also in Europe, and this was the absolute worst I have ever had. Since it's in a good spot, it was also the most expensive one at the same time. The whole staff is Chinese, and the ramen came with no meat and fried chicken on side, which you should mix with the soup, which never happens in Japan. The restaurant looks nice though which is why I ended up in there.

Basic ramen. Tasty, but not something special. They have to add some kicky flavours, like hot, savory, something. Too basic

The ramen was alright but nothing special. The toppings weren’t very to my tastes, the vegetables were just spinach and bean sprouts which I wasn’t a huge fan of personally. But other than that the atmosphere and service was great.

Not authentic, the shoyu ramen that I ordered was extremely salty and it looked more like Vietnamese noodle when the server put down my bowl of ramen. This is Parisian style Japanese ramen. Service was good though.

Everything was amazing, great prices for the portions offered and great hospitality. We definitely recommend and can’t wait to come back

Decent enough food but service was poor. No one bothered to acknowledge our existence as we walked in. Eventually found a table after asking at the bar (bar staff was nice and friendly though). Food order got messed up and only one of us got the ramen we ordered - the other one hadn’t been registered. By then kitchen had closed and we got a stand in/what was left but had to pay full price (got a shot of sake for free instead). Beer was lukewarm. They tried I guess…

Honestly disappointed. A good reputation but not deserved. Once the waiter decided to come take our order, after 20 minutes of us sitting ready, we ordered two starters and three ramens. The starters came before our drinks. The karaage chicken was good, the gyozas were a bit under-seasoned. The ramen came before we had finished our starters and were very disappointing, no flavour, no varied ingredients and the noodles did not taste fresh. We then waited over 30 minutes for our empty dishes to be cleared. Sloppy service and flavourless food, Not worth the visit and definitely Not worth the price.

« Temple of Ramen » is how I describe my experience. There is a welcoming atmosphere in the restaurant and the food is not only delicious, it touches you somehow. I highly recommend this place and look forward to tasting everything on the menu.

The rice of the don is not just warm, it's hot and freshly made. The sashimi on top became cooked fish!! Maybe the chef is not too experienced, he/she cut the raw fish in wrong direction with a not so sharp knife, the sashimi is like teared apart. Karaage is quite good... Service is not bad, but maybe understaffed.... Drinks are extremely slowly served, even bottled beer and canned drinks are not served in 20 mins, it applies to everyone in the restaurant, not just us.

Very good! There is a very delicious Japanese restaurant near Fengpidu Art Center. The receptionist was a girl who spoke Chinese. We ordered curry pork chop rice and pork chop rice without curry, both of which were so delicious! The store provides free drinking water.

Nice restaurant ! The gyoza are delicious ! I’ve lived in Japan for 5 years and used to make them by myself and they taste just as good. Tested the curry and the ramen and they’re very nice without being so exceptional but still very tasty. The staff is nice and the food is not that overpriced considering we’re in Paris.

Really good food and great service. We had the Ramen, the Katsudon and ginger lemonades, which were delicious!

If you grow up in Japan. You will never touch this type of Ramen noodle. It’s absolutely not hand made. Maybe suit the taste for French customers… But their staffs had nice service attitude.

Service is exceptional, not like what you could see in other places in Paris. The staff is polite, very helpful and lightning fast. Food is delicious.

Very normal flavour. Quite noisy and busy on weekend and had to wait so long for ordering and for food to come. Nothing special, just cheap japanese food.

You made MISO happy! Great experience. The food and wait staff was perfect. I would definitely go again.

We tried Isshin Ramen and it was an amazing experience! The ambiance and decoration are beautiful, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. The service was also perfect : attentive and quick. As for the food, we had the Tori Katsudon, the Mayu Special, and the Shinmen Special ; all of them were excellent, with perfectly balanced flavors and generous portions. For dessert, we went with the yuzu cheesecake and the aloe vera ; both were so tasty and fresh. Definitely a place we highly recommend!

Overall a very nice experience! It doesn’t feel like you are in Paris anymore. Loved my ramen. I will definitely come back at some point. Thanks for everything. I highly recommend.

Very tasty ramen in a super cute space. The nitamago was better than many I’ve tried around the city. Efficient service. There’s nowhere to put your coats though so that’s a little annoying.

Finally found the best Japanese ramen in Paris! The flavour’s super authentic, and the vibe honestly feels straight out of a movie “Spirited Away” with that kind of interior design!😍💗 You’ll have to wait in a long line, but trust me it’s 100% worth it. Go for the wonton ramen and the edamame… you won’t believe how good they are!!!!🍜🫛❤️‍🔥

Amazing experience! Very immersive atmosphere, friendly staff and great food! They only have one vegan option for a started and a ramen but both are delicious. Highly recommend!

Guys THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT I SEARCHED ON TIKTOK I FOUND THIS RESTAURANT AND I CAME OVER TO PARIS I CAME HERE THE SECOND DAY I LANDED IN PARIS!! GUYS IT WAS MARVELLOUS THESTAFF ARE THE NICEST EVER!! THE FOOD WAS GOOD AND THEY DO OFFER HALAL MENU THE RAMEN WAS SOOOOOO OMG😭😭and you might find your soulmate u never know 😭😭

The food is outstanding; the service is also prompt and attentive! We really enjoyed the food here, really recommend for ramen and gyoza.

Truly one of the best meals I’ve had in my life. The food was innovative and delicious, the staff were all very nice and helpful, the design, the service and the total experience - an absolute 10/10. Is it a little pricy, and definitely not an everyday restaurant? yes. Was is absolutely worth every euro? Absolutely. We had the 9 course dinner, which turned out to be more with some lovely extras like the shiitake-cucumber broth, the vanilla- passion fruit desert and more. Every dish was better than the previous. The dessert, although I am not usually a pavlova fan - was incredible. A must try.

The best meal I had in Paris! We did the 9 course tasting menu with some dietary restrictions and were taken for an incredible ride. I can be skeptical of Chinese-French fusion, but the balance, technique, and flavor here made it one of the best meals of my life. Some bites felt like being taken back to a familiar time and place, others were new and fresh and elevated. The service was genuinely warm and went above and beyond for my friends and I, and the space is so beautiful.

We had a small group who were celebrating birthdays. The team were great at guiding us through the menu, we went with the 9 course degustation and then we had wines selected to go with the food. Every course was amazing. Every bottle of wine was a great complement to the food with relaxed welcoming atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back again when next in Paris.

A close friend recommended the place to me & hyped it up slightly. The initial experience was fantastic, the dishes were both creative and blended French & Southern Chinese cuisine delicately - truly an impressive feat. I have been to many other Michelin-starred places that struggled to find this balance. However, the turning point happened during the Steamed Turbot, the fish was not descaled properly. Every bite I took had fish scales in them. While this would’ve been fine in the streets of Asia, I was expecting the attention to detail at the level of a fine restaurant. Flagged this to the waitress and nothing happened, which was really disappointing. Truly felt sorry for the chef, proper descaling is critical & should not be overlooked though.

One of a kind meal. We had the 5 course meal with amuses which was a great introduction to the French-Chinese cuisine. Friendly staff and a great sommelier!

Totally incredible dinner from start to finish. Every dish was impossibly better than the last. The staff were so attentive and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Easily the best restaurant we visited in Paris. Genuine 10/10. Merci beaucoup!

The three of us opted for the tasting menu and it was delicious - unique!! You will definitely leave full because the portions are not small (I’m from nyc)! Everything was so good. Hard to pick a favorite - the mapo tofu twist dish and the big chunk of fish were top runners but the duck?! Omg. So good. Duck probably was my favorite. We weren’t able to finish the shrimp toast and fish dish even though they were so yummy bc we were so full!! It’s already not easy to get a reservation but I suspect it’ll continue to be even more popular. While it’s got a tasting menu and the food quality is excellent, atmosphere is pretty laid back and casual. Servers very nice. Oh the only dish I was not a fan of was the cucumber/kiwi/melon one but only because it has cilantro and I can’t eat that-but my friends liked it, it was refreshing

DO NOT GET RAMEN DELIVERED I booked one day in advance. This is what I received. I spent more than 40 euros to get no soup.

We ordered Via Uber eats, it was very unsatisfying, for there orders we ordered two extra l’oeuf tamago that didn’t came at all, we also didnt get any chopstics to eat with it. The food was very flavorless, very dry donburi and unsatisfying taste of ramen

We ordered via uber for our late night meal. It was pretty bad. The noodles fell apart just from picking it up with chopsticks 🥲. Was hoping Parisian made better ramen.

The ramen are so amazing there are the best I have ever tried so far

I Tryed all the ramen in paris and the south of france and those ramen are at the top far beyond all the others Highly recommend

Great flavour, easy prep, good portion size. Excellent chasu.

Excellent ramen 😍

The place was full, even nearer to the end of the lunch service and we had to wait for a small amount. The place is relatively small so be expected to be cozy and right next to some random people. Perhaps it was the error in my expectations and the ramen here is adjusted to the delicate French palate but I felt the soup was underwhelming with very light, almost watery feel. I had to add soysauce to add extra flavours and saltiness. The noodles were good. Gyoza was just average you’d get in a ramen shop.

We just looked for a quick meal but restaurant and its ramen exceeded all our expectations. Without a doubt, it was one of the best bowls I’ve ever had. The broth was rich and full of flavor, yet perfectly balanced. The noodles were top-notch and service was flawless. It turned out to be the unexpected highlight of our trip and easily the best meal we had in Paris this time. Highly recommended!

Très bien! Just randomly hopped in the place as I was super starving. But the food and service were absolutely exceeded my expectations!People here were kind, and you can order in English, don’t worry ! Also, I love the texture of the noodles! The soup also tasted great, not salty as others. I love this place and already saved for my next visit. Hi, it’s me again ! I am really into the texture of the noodles, so, just visited twice in a same day 😛 I also tried their pear flavoured ice cream, love the combo in this cold winter.

I'd say one of the best ramen joints in Paris. I've had the Tonkotsu Mayu twice (two days apart). The broth is nuanced and flavorful without being overwhelming. The chashu is nicely marinated and flambeed, and the ajitama is marinated and perfectly jammy. It's a really cool, chill, and unpretentious joint with super warm and welcoming people.

Food was lovely, the ramen was great, but I enjoyed more the gyoza. The restaurant is very tiny and not many tables. I was surprised the restaurant got busy since they opened. The service was beautiful.

I loved this ramen place so so much Amazing ramen , best hand made noodles and great atmosphere! You HAVE to give it a try🙌🏻

God tier ramen found in this small shop. Really refined bowl of 'medium' tonkotsu with unique flat noodles made in-house. Come support this place, it ranks up there with the very best.

If you love fishy food, this is for you. The appetizers were just okay. The bamboo shoot was less than 2 tablespoon. The decor was on point though. The toilet even has a bidet. We arrived 20 mins before opening and stood by the door. We got seated right after they opened without having to join the waitlist. Great decor, but fishy ramen is not for me. And they all are fishy bcs of the dashi.

This place was something special from the cozy, well-kept atmosphere to, most importantly, the food. We had two different kinds of ramen, both amazing. The flavors were rich and deep, and the chicken broth was hands down the best I’ve ever had. It’s a tiny spot, so expect to wait in line, but it’s totally worth it.

I went to that place twice and it's been a experience each time. You tend to forget you are in Paris as you are enjoying your Ramen. Japan streets mood is well emulated. Just a little bit humid but it's due to the kitchen. The ramen are very tasty, savory and filling. It can be a little bit overwhelming for kids and seats are very narrow but they still had a great time over there. You won't be disappointed. (you must go early to avoid the wait though)

The food and atmosphere were both excellent — it honestly felt like being transported to Japan. The ramen was flavorful and well-balanced, and the overall vibe of the place was authentic and cozy. That said, the check-in process was a bit confusing. You have to register through a virtual queue, but this wasn’t clearly explained anywhere, which led to some frustration at the start. A quick sign or better communication from the staff would go a long way. Still, once seated, the experience was great. Definitely worth a visit if you’re a ramen lover!

Really cool and tasty restaurant. Amazing broth and noodles, all of the ingredients felt hight quality. Very cool vibe. Only complaint is the pork portion in the dish- one medium slice and the rest is just noodles and broth. One big thing to be aware of is the waiting time, especially on peak hours - can easily be around 90 minutes, so best to come earlier and join the line.

Good organization but nothing that can justify the long waiting queues . There is a formular with QR code that helps handling this but overall . No beef ramen. Inside its interesting but the starter with chicken was not even mid. Ramen itself i aint that regular eater but made my stomach feel weird just after an hour of eating. The cola was good find . Sake i drank wasnt worth and epic. On the other side the vibe is a good one gives you that anime vibe due to small of place it has

This place basically warps you into a Japanese alley, it's pretty cool. The seating was interesting and unique, it really felt like I was back in Asia! Their ramen has unique ingredients I wouldn't normally find anywhere else. Lemons in ramen sounds crazy at first but it tasted great. Amazing service and staff. They were so friendly and made sure to take nice photos of my friends and I. The queue was terribly long though, which is understandable since it's a viral place. Even though we had a reservation, it still took some time for them to call us.

Great little ramen place off Monmarte , perfect flavours highly recommend the ramen dishes . Gyoza’s were juicy and full of flavour and kimichi was fresh Service - super fast 2 ramens 2 gyoza dishes Kimchi 2 Kiran bears and 2 plum liquors €42

The waiters are warm, friendly and attentive, always ready to help guests in just the right way. When ordering, they patiently explain the characteristics of each dish and the recommended accompaniments. This Japanese restaurant is top notch in terms of ingredients, flavours, ambience and service.

Unexpected Hidden Gem! We stumbled upon this ramen spot after finding long waits (over an hour) at two other popular places nearby — and we’re so glad we did. The food was excellent. We ordered the miso and spicy miso ramen, gyoza, and half fried rice — all were flavorful, authentic, and satisfying. Service was quick and courteous. As self-proclaimed ramen snobs from New York who’ve also traveled to Japan, we were genuinely impressed — this place beats at least half the ramen joints in NYC. Highly recommend if you’re craving a solid bowl of ramen.

Avoid this place. I had diner with my couple in the ground floor, big cockroach 🪳 One the is one or two, in a room full of people there should be hundreds hidden. We told the waitress and they confess that they have fumigated but the problem remains . This place should be closed for sanitary reasons, we just finished eating when this happen. The attention was cold and the food, after this experience we ran from the place wanting to vomit. Really take this seriously, shut down, clean the place properly and fumigate. Again, the best for you if you’re reading this, avoid the place…

Love our food orders this evening, tonkatsu, ramen and some curry.. everything was very good and tasty.. even my picky kids loved it and ask to come back again before we leave Paris.

Another Japanese resto that serve tasty yakisoba. I love yakisoba. My boyfriend enjoyed his ramen and told me that it is 4/5. Goya is good too. Service is fast like other Japanese restaurants around the rue Saint Anne. Their price is typically same with others too. So might be back next time. ☺️

Decent food. The best part of the meal were the soups which were tasty. For the rest, the gyozas were clearly not fresh. As for the udon, the meal was greasy and lacking flavor. Better options available I the neighborhood.

Soya is amazing, highly highly recommend! Our server was soo nice, the food was amazing and the vibe was really good. The tofu mouse dessert was delicious. Thank you for a great time from your New Zealand customers 😊

A great 100% vegan restaurant with a family atmosphere, offering delicious Asian fusion meals with plenty of protein options. The staff was very nice and welcoming! A great place for celebrations for small groups and couples.

Delicious vegan food. Super healthy & tasty at the same time. Staff was very warm, atmosphere is homely. Nice for a date or spend time with friends or even to grab a quick meal. Must try: the platter for mains & the artichokes for entree. Soyafels, mezze, tempeh cannot be missed

Food was delicious but i feel like waiters could have been more attentive . It was not horrible though so will probably come back

Another great vegan experience in Paris! I'd recommend making a reservation. It wasn't busy when I arrived at 7:30 but it was packed when I left an hour or so later. I had the fried tempeh appetizer and the lasagna. The appetizer was good but not what I was expecting. The tempeh was more of a paste that was formed into triangles and fried. I didn't really see any individual soybeans. Perhaps that's typical in Europe so I can't ding them for that. Besides, it still tasted good.😁 Now on to the star of the show, the lasagna. Most of the reviews said it was good and they were correct. It's the best vegan lasagna I've had in the 8 years I've been vegan. The portion was large, with many layers. 2 people could probably share it if they also had appetizers. This place is definitely deserving of its high rating. I'll be back!

I loved everything. From the view you get from the outside to the cosy and ethnic vibe inside to each and every tasteful plate that comes in front of you. This is certainly one of the best vegan restaurant I've been to in Paris. The couscous was fantastic, full of flavors and with a generous portion. The red wine we ordered (Domaine de Cantausse) was also really good. And the service was friendly (and even funny). I'll certainly come back during my next visit.

Great ambiance! The food is delicious, you can really taste that it is all freshly made. We were sitting in a corner (out of sight) so sometimes we needed to sign if we needed something. But still I would definitely recommend this place to friends.

For me the food is normal, nothing so impressive. Not saying not delicious but is just normal.we have the pork miso ramen . *we are being move to other table while we are middle of we eating the udon, just because there are line. Other restaurants would just ask the customer to wait. For me asking customers to move table when they already start s eating is kinda rude.

I really dislike restaurants where the dining tables are right next to the toilet – that’s just my personal opinion. Unfortunately, from where I was sitting, I could actually see the toilet bowl. I wanted to leave, but stayed only because I was with someone else. To be honest, when the food is good, I’m willing to overlook a few things. But here, the poor hygiene and the fact that the staff didn’t speak English made it worse. The biggest problem, however, was when we first entered the restaurant. I understand that it’s a small place, but having side dishes and eggs already prepared and left right by the entrance – fully exposed to customers, staff, dust, and even rain on wet days – is unacceptable. I simply cannot understand how anyone could think this is okay. And it doesn’t stop there – cooking equipment was left outside on the pavement, and the open kitchen looked dirty and unhygienic. I have no desire to ever go back. If people who don’t care about cleanliness keep giving high ratings, the restaurant will only get busier, which is a real shame.

We’re visiting from Singapore, and after having spent 7 days in Milan and Florence we were ready to get our Asian food fix. So we could be a little biased, having said that, this place does not disappoint! While it’s not fully authentic, it was authentic enough and we had such a great meal! The udon texture was really very good. Both the dipping sauce and the broth for our udons came seasoned very well. We feel the dashi or tsuyu flavors could be stronger, but a small nit pick. The tempura was fried very well and competes with tempura we have had in Japan and Singapore. It had no oily taste and the batter is the right thickness. The curry don was excellent - it even came with bonus slices of beef! The curry roux tasted authentic but could also be a little stronger in flavor. The katsu itself was fried very well the breading could be improved but they’re not a katsu restaurant so no complaints here. The rice was proper Japanese short grain rice so we were very pleased. All in all this meal left us far from disappointed, and satisfied our Asian food craving. We highly recommend this place if you’re hankering for authentic Japanese food. We will be back if we ever find ourselves in Paris and need Japanese food! Do note they don’t take reservations so you’ll need to line up.

My Parisian friend recommends this place so I lined up for lunch. Got in at 12nn when they open smoothly, but at 12:15 it’s full house. To avoid stuffing myself I ordered the hot sauce dip Udon (it does not have any meet in the bowl) and a serve of fried chicken, paired with a Kirin beer too. The chicken & beer came quickly. The batter is light and crispy, with citrus sauce. Very tasty. The udon was to be dipped in the sauce with springs onions, quail egg, ginger and sesame. Glad that the portion size of everything is just right. The atmosphere of the place is fantastic: warm, lively, and energetic. The meal is done in 30 minutes 😎💪

This restaurant is impeccable, and the Japanese Wagyu Udon is amazing! You can eat it without the udon noodles, and the broth is truly divine!

Came back to my favourite udon spot in town and it’s not as good as I remember. I came here often when I lived in Paris. Udon is still very good but the sauce to dip tempura is a little bit too salty. Long queue as usual.

Food was decent if you’re looking for some Udon or Japanese food while in Paris, but nothing spectacular. The Udons are good, we got the vegetable tempura dipping, shrimp tempura in soup, and curry. We also got the karaage, but would pass next time; felt like it was cooked non-traditionally. Prices are very steep for what you get and there was a long wait. We spent 100 euros for the meals and portion sizes weren’t even that big. In New York, you’d probably find something similar for $60-80 USD.

I went there because it seemed they make their own noodles; the taste wasn’t bad, but the hygiene rating was zero. The place was small, so we went down to the basement, but the menu was sticky, and the tables and chairs felt old and sticky too, which I didn’t like. The food took a long time, though the tempura udon tasted fairly good, but as we left, I noticed the state of the ground, which I hadn’t seen before, and it made me think about the hygiene. If the taste and cleanliness matched, I think the place would be much more popular.

We visited Udon Jubey and absolutely loved it! 🍜 The food was served very quickly, everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked :especially the udon and tempura, light and crispy with amazing taste. We were with our 2-year-old daughter who was peacefully sleeping in her stroller, and the atmosphere was calm and comfortable, even though the restaurant was full during lunchtime. There’s also a quieter downstairs area if you prefer a more peaceful space. A wonderful spot for a delicious lunch in the heart of Paris we’ll definitely come back!

Came during lunch time and there was few seats left. Luckily I was solo so easier to get a seat. The udon was a bit too soft and beef a bit overcooked. The soup has more soy sauce flavor than from meats. Overall, it was ok.

I’ve been coming here for over ten years, and it truly feels like an authentic izakaya in Japan. I always prefer sitting at the counter in front of the kitchen, it gives the most genuine experience. The dishes are authentically Japanese. My favorite is the hot udon with vegetable tempura, but everything on the menu is tasty. Be mindful of the opening hours, as they tend to close quite early, just like real Japanese places. The only downside is the lower ground floor, which feels less cozy and authentic compared to the main area.

This is the best Udon I have ever tried in Paris! It was just amazing! The perfect broth with combination of perfect noodles and amazing meat! Perfectly cooked egg to add your udon - really recommend it. We really enjoyed our time at this restaurant as also the staff of the restaurant was friendly, helpful and efficient. We are definitely coming back there and trying more from the wide selection.

When in Paris, eat real Japanese udon noodles! This is a must to try when you’re in Paris and visiting the Japanese district. Homemade udon noodles and delicious soup. Everything was good! Arrive early as there’s usually a waiting line .

Very disappointing place. Too basic eggplant Yakinasu, and tasteless beef Guydon. Seems like no japanese among the cooks. Crampy and humid basement. Prices are too high with low cost products. Avoid this place, nothing special really 👎🏼

The place on top of rue Mouffetard. It can get full quickly. Few flavours of ramen available and several other dishes. The food is quick to come. The ramen was tasty indeed and good price-quality ratio!

So good! Having been to Japan this year, we would say this place is authentic. Portions were big. 2 dishes for the 3 of us and we still took home half the ramen. Dined with 2 kids and they were accommodating and very friendly. We came just at the right time at 8pm before the rush. By 8:30 you definitely had to wait. And what a beautiful neighborhood!

First, I had the gyoza, which was very tasty. For mains, I tried the karaage upon, which was pretty good. The soup was flavourful and the chicken was delicious. Lastly, Ihad the lemon cheesecake and it was great,a very fitting end to a very good meal. The place has very nice vibes, the decorations are pretty, the stones on the walls add to the aesthetic. And it is next to the Pantheon, so great location too. The staff is very helpful as well.

Had Ramen today - if I could I'd give 4.5. Very good for European standards, one of the best I've ever had. Still missing the Japanese quality but very pleasant experience.

Ramen were good, the waitress was so nice and funny, she seems genuinely passionate about her job. Came over on a saturday for lunch, table of 7 : had to wait a bit to get a table but once we ordered the meals came pretty quickly. Overall everybody was satisfied, I would be pleased to come back.

We first came here because the name of the restaurant match our nick names so we are curious for their food. It turns out great!! They have a nice service and I love their udon the most!! Definitely come back during winter time and highly recommended!!

There was a queue, but we got seated quickly (5-10min). The staff were very friendly and the food was really good. We are definitely coming back here :)

Best poke bowls I’ve ever had! The food, the service and the place are top, top quality. I would recommend it 100%. The only feedback I have for the restaurant is to remove the noise from the beepers. Once your order is ready, it beeps and vibrates. I think the vibration is more than enough, especially being someone who gets overstimulated with these sharp noises.

Decent chicken ramen, nothing exceptional considering there are so many other places that are truly fantastic! I only had half a piece of the egg oddly and it was a bit cold. Fast food like experience for ordering using a screen at the entrance and collecting the ramen later.

Good flavour and taste for the price you pay in the area you are. Environment was not the best japanese style one. Good for quality/price ratio.

I had the Beef Udon 🍜 and a boba tea. My friend had a poke bowl and a fruit drink. 🍓 Everything was super tasty, portions are big (we could barely finish them), the ingredients are qualitative and there is a good variety. I loved the vibe also, with the cute drawings and the cherry tree 🌸

Really cute Japanese set up. We enjoyed the poke bowls and ramen; the chicken udon was okay. Service was friendly & orders were quick, however since we were downstairs, we had to wait for staff to walk past with someone else's food to flag them down after our initial order.

This was our fourth time coming here. The portions were correct, and freshness/quality of the toppings for the poke were great! Me and my sister were satisfied with both our meals and the staff were kind and gave us utensils. The place is very cozy but slightly cramped upstairs if you want to sit and eat on the spot. We'll be coming back as this restaurant is situated close to some shops we like. Overall, the experience was good, and the quality is consistent. Thank you very much ! 🫶

Very good ramen. The service was quick, and the staff is friendly. They have a loyalty program where you collect stamps, and you can get some discounts afterwords.

Our second time here and it was top as per usual. For starters, we ordered edamame and chicken karaage. The chicken came with egg mayo dip and it was perfect. For ramen, I went for spicy tonkotsu (can’t remember the actual name) while bf took the vegetarian ramen. Both were super flavorful and just so good. Pro tip - if you order the vegetarian ramen, you can ask them for chilli to make it spicy! They provide chilli paste and oil (looks homemade) and it really elevates the flavor. One thing though but maybe it’s just me - I found the bamboo shoots weird tasting. But honestly think it might just be cause I’m not a big fan of it to begin with. For anyone missing Japanese ramen, you won’t be disappointed!

This place is good. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is charming. However, I’ve tasted many ramens in Paris and this one is the most expensive I’ve been, it is tasty but the ramen I ordered costs 19€ and it was really missing something, chicken, eggs or something I don’t know but it wasn’t as great as it should have been.

Overall a good experience. But when comparing price/flavor we have favorite options of Ramen in Paris such as Yatay.

We were so exhausted and this was so close to our hotel (literally right outside our door), the reviews were super high so we figured we would take it easy that night and and enjoy something warm. We liked it so much we ended our trip the next night with it again! Really cute interior, and exterior patio! The service was great and quick! It was always busy but we never had to wait for a table. The takoyaki was delicious! We got that both nights. The spicy ramens are not very spicy at all, which was perfect for us - but if you are wanting it for the heat level this is not it. Delicious broths on all the soups we tried!! We are still thinking about this ramen even after and have tried some in our home city and haven't found one quite as good. Highly recommend and rave about this as we talk about our trip to Paris!

Updated June 2023: it was our go to place for a good ramen without taking time to go to paris center. But we can’t accept this crazy price increase anymore with the meat portion was even less than before. It’s now to expensive and not worth it, so we won’t come back. March 2022: Add to favorite ramen list in Paris area!

Delicious food with terrific service. Relaxed atmosphere and cozy decoration. Sizeable portions of delicious ramen - only realized after the dish that I had not taken a picture. Irresistible. Thank you to the staff for the wonderful experience and to the chef for the delicious food

The ramen was good, not the best I've tried. Expensive for €19. There are certainly better ones in Paris, cheaper too, but this place is conveniently located near me. They serve with thicker noodles, I would've preferred the thinner which you normally have in a ramen. The takoyaki lacked a bit of flavor, I still enjoyed it though or maybe I was just too hungry. And oh be ready for a wait of around 20-30 minutes in the queue. But overall, not bad.

The kitchen is actually great! The chicken burger was delicious and crispy. The beef cheek tender well cooked. Fries crispy. I enjoyed the onion soup too! Great meal, prices make sense for the quality and the service! Got too full for desserts but wish I had room, the profiterole looked divine. The service was great too! Lovely and accommodating staff, I’d recommend.

All points for the ambience, humongous place and in one of my favourite streets in Paris. Great place to bring your group of friends and have a good time! Food is alright, I’d go more for the drinks :) Small suggestion, look at the entire place before deciding where to sit. There are a lot of hidden spots! ;)

The food was delicious overall, but the Jamaican jerk chicken wasn't fully cooked. However, the staff immediately took it back after confirming the inside was raw. They replaced it with the newly cooked chicken thighs. The staff was friendly and helpful.

I visited this bar recently and while the atmosphere and drinks were decent, my experience was negatively impacted by the management and security staff. When we entered, no one mentioned any bag policy — not at the entrance, not by the staff, not even by our waiter. Then out of nowhere, a security guard came up to us, demanding we remove our bags and vests. The tone and approach were completely unnecessary and caught us off guard. If there’s a policy in place, it should be clearly communicated at the entrance or by the staff when you're seated — not enforced hours later with hostility.

Nice local pub, great location, fun atmosphere inside & out.

Good food. But after we wanted to dance a very angry security staff member forced me to go downstairs whilst waiting for my friend. Not okay and felt threatened. Looked at previous reviews and apparently the security staff is all but kind to their customers. For food it’s good but please do not go dancing afterwards as you will be harassed by security!

Super quick service — our food arrived in just 5–7 minutes! Everything was hot, fresh, and really delicious. Great spot overall, would definitely recommend!

Loved this place! The food was really good and flavourful and servers extremely friendly :) really good value for money too. I really enjoyed the miso ramen, it felt really light compared to other ramens i’ve had with a pork broth. We arrived quite early so there was no queue, but it got packed quickly although queue moves super fast!

Great restaurant with friendly waiters . Overvall a great restaurant that mixes two asian cultures into one. Chinese food cooked in a japanese fashion. If you are looking for a nice place to eat as a couple this is a great spot! It was definitely family friendly. It was clean and the bathrooms too but the only problem I had was that it was too loud. I had a hard time hearing my friends across the table. The servers were nice but they had a hard time hearing us over the table to order too. Convenient paying methods. Just scan the sca. code and you can chose to divide the payment and just pay what you ate or share the payment. If they can fix the noise issue and invest in noise reduction in the building They would get even more clients!

I ordered two small, straightforward dishes: the wonton soup and the fried shrimp. The wonton soup had a simple soy sauce base, and while the wonton wrappers were thicker than I expected, they had a satisfying chewiness. The fried shrimp came garnished with bits of chili, but if you're expecting a kick, it might be disappointing. It wasn't spicy at all. However, both dishes were still enjoyable. The restaurant itself was clean, with a minimalist ambiance and well-arranged seating.

Good food! The noodles were perfectly cooked in a traditional way, and I felt so light afterward. Highly recommend!

We went there during lunch hour, super packed but service was fast! We had dumplings for starters, very delicious. Then we shared the spicy miso ramen, broccoli and mushrooms stir fry, and also slow cooked pork (i think it’s called buta kakuni). I couldn’t recommend the pork enough, so soft, tender and super tasty!

One of the best Asian restaurants I have tried in Paris, and I’ve tried quite a few! The shisen ramen is delicious, with a flavourful, slightly spicy, brothy soup which can be hard to find elsewhere. I highly recommend the mapo tofu, although will note that the spice level seems to vary between visits and sometimes has been a bit mild. The gyoza is great too. You can pay via a QR code on the table using the sunday website which is quite handy, and can also split the bill.

Just had a delightful meal at Lai Lai Ken! The service was efficient and quick ⚡ leaving me feeling content and satisfied. While the decor is a bit plain and the lighting too bright at night the food more than makes up for it! 🍽️ The fried chicken is an absolute must-try and the wonton soup is perfect for warming up in winter. 🥣 Overall, a great spot with excellent valu for money! 👍

Ramen was piping hot, decent taste, not so traditional Japanese clean broth, more saucy, dark, starchy, thick, slightly mysterious. So thick in fact, both my partner and I ended up bloated like crazy after the ramen. Surely some kind of starch/thickener was added, this doesn't just happen. Fried chicken was awesome though! Wouldn't call this super authentic. Someone said the owners are Chinese? Cannot confirm for sure but my gut feeling says so!

Ordered their karaage as a sides and also classic tonkotsu miso ramen + special. Honestly the ramen is really average in term of taste. But staff is really nice and patient even the queue outside is always long. The soup indeed is on thicker side which I personally not a big fan of it.

The soup is really thick, to the point that we started to wonder if it had been thickened up with some cornstarch since it also left us very bloated afterwards. The classic tonkotsu was on the salty side, tantanmen had a nice peanut flavour. The soup comes boiling hot in a claypot and takes ages to cool down so we ended up burning our mouths trying to eat it. Overall the food was nice, as long as you don't judge it as a classic ramen, but more as a saucy noodles. The restaurant is not huge, so you're sitting very close to other customers, there's also no place to put your coat/bag. Really nice staff tho!

One of our favorite ramen spots in Paris! It can get a bit crowded, but with some luck, there’s no wait. We usually eat the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen Special (semi-thick pork broth, tasty meat, fresh veggies) and the Tori Paitan Miso Ramen (rich, flavorful soup, crunchy vegetables, perfectly soft egg). Both are always delicious! If you leave a comment, they even give you a small gift, which is a nice touch. Prices are a bit high but fair for the quality. You can expect to pay around €50–€60 for two people. Plus, the stone pot keeps the ramen warm until the very end! ( maybe bit too hot at the beginning ) ;).

Recommend shoyu tonkatsu! Had a bit of apprehension as the ramen around me looked pretty heavy and thick. And that’s what some reviews were saying as well. That’s why I went for a lighter one with Shoyu Tonkatsu. And it was a very good bowl of ramen. Noodles have great texture, broth is very balanced. Chashu could be tastier and tender imo. Vibe is ok but like a good ramen place, it’s not supposed to be too comfortable ;)

Ramen was so good that is if I was back in Japan! Love the rich and flavourful broth, it really fixed our Asian food cravings haha. The wait could be long during dinner time, but it was frustrating that they didn’t try to accommodate groups of 3 or more, as there were more than 5 tables of 2 behind us going in and we ended up waiting for nearly an hour when they could’ve set us down within half an hour… hence the deduction of 1 star 😔

there are clearly good elements here. the miso is really nice, with a nice sweetness and fermented complexity. the stir fried pork is fragrant with sesame and ginger, meaning you can mix it in halfway through the bowl and change up the taste. but the main gimmick, serving in a donabe, is holding the bowl back. the opposite problem is very common with french ramen: it's often served too cold, but here it's served too hot. taste receptors work better in certain temperatures and here the soup appears less tasty as a result to being served boiling hot. i believe you're meant to blow on every bite, thus taking more time to eat than a normal bowl, but that would make the noodles soggy. i usually eat ramen quite fast, but here the noodles started to get softer than i like (the high temperature doesn't help with this, even though the noodles start off thick and firm, meaning they're aware of the problem). it's unfortunate. i think this would be really good served 10 to 20°C cooler, i can really see the potential. but it's unlikely that they will step down from their gimmick. i saw that they sell the miso they use which might be interesting.

We were looking for a Ramen restaurant, and found that the first two places we looked for were closed for unknown reasons. The third place was this restaurant, and when Google Maps told us that we were at the address, we couldn't see the restaurant. It wasn't until we were standing on the opposite side of the road that we spotted the place. The facade of the place is small, and can therefore be difficult to spot. We tried to get a table, even though we hadn't booked a seat, and if we promised the restaurant to be ready within 1 hour and 15 minutes, they could offer us a table. We gladly accepted that offer. We had a wonderful Ramen that was super tasty, and as an option we got some chili sauce on the side, to spice up the dish a bit, if that's what we wanted. The staff were super friendly and service-minded, and created a good atmosphere in the restaurant with their nature. The restaurant was very nicely decorated in the relatively small space, with a view of the kitchen, where you could see the chefs at work. It's always good when a restaurant isn't afraid to show off their kitchen. I would highly recommend the place, but also recommend that you book a table in advance, because in our case we were probably just lucky to get there without it.

A great experience, highly recommend any ramen fan to come and enjoy this great food. The service was perfect, great waitress, fun and helpful ! We also were lucky, we didn't know you had to book a table on their site but the owner was kind enough to seat us at an available table !

Japanese / ramen restaurant. The inside is cosy, confortable and cute. The food was delicious. The gyoza were crunchy, light and super tasty. The ramen were truly phenomenal. I had the duck liver ramen (foie gras) and it was really to die for. The broth was flavorful, rich and complex. A true masterpiece. I would very happily go back for the same thing !

Yeah this was a great experience. I had the hiyashi ramen I always get that during the summer. Had the bamboo shoots spicy, meat gyoza, hiyashi chuka with the pork. Fantastic!

Amazing. I used to go to minca and kambi ramen in nyc. They closed 🙁 yours was delicious. I hope you find who owned minca and get their recipe it was amazing

Hidden gem in Pigalle! Delicious authentic ramen, warm atmosphere, friendly staff. Everything we ordered came out quickly and was so good. Prices are also very fair and the bill is able to be split and paid from your phone at the table making it a super easy experience. Would highly recommend!

Really delicious ramen! We found this place after giving up getting a table at the Pink Mama. It was just a block away, and we were able to get seats right away. It’s one of the best ramen I’ve had in my life. From broth to noodles, the ramen was perfect. I chose the Gaijin ramen which is a duck ramen with foie gras. It was described as French-Japanese fusion, which I couldn’t imagine how both cuisines would come together. I’m always wary about trying fusion ramens since most don’t come out right. I’ve had a fusion ramen from the Ivan’s Ramen in NY(owned by a famous ramen chef who was trained in Japan and won multiple awards), but it was not good. Gaijin ramen was so good! Foie gras’s fatty cream flavor and deep complex flavors of broth go perfectly together. It creates the similar mouth-feel and flavor combinations like when you eat pork chashu with tonkotsu broth. Absolutely amazing combination and such a brilliant recipe. I loved the super chewy, in-house made ramen noodles. It’s a must try place if you’re ever in the area.

We were the only Americans! You must make a reservation via telephone, even for lunch. The restaurant is small! We had several starters. The most filling udon was the beef, it felt like it had a whole cow. The tempura udon was also quite large!

Overall a satisfying meal, wait time was little to none (a weekday afternoon near closing time, 2pm). We were really excited to try this place due to finding it from the michelin guide, and as we were in the area, we couldn’t resist. The place was nicely packed, but service was still quick and polite. Sadly when we went, the sushi rice had run out, leaving the salad as the only side option 😢 The udon noodles had a really good texture, served in a warm hearty broth. But personally, none of the dishes we ordered blew us away. It lacked a flavor profile that felt unique. We did go in with extremely high expectations though. In totality, we are glad we finally tried it, but would maybe try new places rather than returning.

Amazing, freshly made udon noodle soup, the flavours were wonderful. We didn’t reserve but they managed to get us a table after a short wait , service was great as well. The dessert was unbelievable tasty as well! No picture, we ate it too fast!

This shop is small but it’s amazing! Since the restaurant is small it requires a reservation, but we got lucky and got a spot without a reservation. If you are looking to get appetizers i’d recommend to stay away from the tofu. It was much too sweet for our taste. But otherwise everything else was delicious! We got them the boeuf and it was amazing! The combo of udon and beef was just right and made the broth much more flavorful. But the star of the show was their desserts. The black sesame and matcha mochis were so amazing! They were both very flavorful and delicious. If your are a fan of Japanese food, this is definitely a place to put on your to-do list!

One of my favourite restaurants in the world, I’d go all the time when I lived in Paris. I took a couple of Japanese friends and they agreed it’s incredible, the best they’ve had outside of Japan and arguably as good as a good place there. Everything is made with meticulous care, and the people are so polite! I miss this every day. The mochi get a shoutout too

Small and cosy Japanese udon place, the udon was excellent but portion was slightly small. Overall, it’s worth the try! It gets filled up very quickly during dining hours so better get a reservation in advance.

Good food, but failed my expectations as a michellin guide. Avocados were good!!

Good , but expensive....Had the porc ramen. it was 15euros. two thin Porc slices, Bouillion, noodles. not even an egg. Spicy sauce is 2 euros extra. Every Japanese bistro gives free condiments, except here. very little meat. it is all bouillon and noodles. sad

We waited about 30 minutes in the rain and ordered a piece of gyoza and ramen. They charged 2 euros for a spicy sauce topping on the gyoza. Please don't order it!! Ramen was ok… I ordered a firm noodle, which was much softer than I expected. The scallion is roughly chopped, and the soup was warm, not hot... It's VERY different from what you get in Japan… a bit of a disappointment…

Editing my review to drop 1 star due to the service. We asked for a water refill for the genmaicha tea (it is totally fine to reuse the tea and it is often done) and the staff said they do not do water refill. It is the first time we had this experience from simply requesting some hot water. We then asked another person from the staff if they could refill with hot water and they accepted. I don’t know why this place has 4.2 average rate. The Ramen is delicious for only €20 and there is a nice tea selection. I 100% recommend different Ippudo restaurants across the city. This one is in particular Most convenient for us, traveling by train as it is walking distance to the Gare.

👏 Ippudo République never fails to impress! As a regular patron, I can attest to the impeccable service, top-notch ramen quality, generous portions, and unbeatable value. When perfection meets dining, it's truly remarkable. Missing out on this spot would be a mistake! 🍜👌

best ramen in paris ! broth is very thick and has rich flavor, which i was looking for all over the paris. service was nice and fast. portion was a bit small for the price, but i would pay more to get better food.

Very tasty veggie ramen! Hit the spot for a Sunday lunch just when the weather began to get chillier! We got a yuzu sorbet for dessert which was a bit disappointing hence the lack of one star.

This is a very trending clean restaurant. The food is fresh and the drinks are fascinating. I ordered a Japanese lemonade and it was fascinating. There is a certain way you need to unscrew the cap and afterwards you can take the cap off the get the marble that's inside. The food was delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Can't recommend this place enough! Everything is delicious, they have seasonal dishes (although the all-year dishes are excellent as well - especially the Tantanmen) that are always a joy to discover. The drinks are very good with a lot of options. The staff is also very friendly. Lastly, it is really nice to have a restaurant with a full vegan menu, from which you can choose freely without having to search for the vegan/vegetarian options. Food allergies are also easily displayed.

Love this place! The food is amazing, and the staff is also very friendly. It is a relatively small place with many customers, so it’s a cozy place. My non-vegan friend also loved it! Definitely recommended✨

instantly fell in love with this café/resto ! happy to be able to eat hiyashichuka in paris 🥹💓 taste is so goooood the soup of tantan noodles was also very full of flavor ! !! parfait as dessert was also perfect as its name, highly recommend definitely will be back

One of the best, if not THE best lunch I've ever had. It's a full vegan Japanese restaurant. Food is really well cared for, both aesthetically and in terms of ingredients. Overall everything is really clean and it has a good ambiance. I'm considering coming back to Paris just to eat here again.

My girlfriend went crazy as soon as we sat on the tatami upstairs. The food was delicious and the staff friendly and attentive. As a small side note I would suggest to add more traditional Japanese vegetarian toppings instead of the commercial brand vegan meat.

The ramen was very tasty and the place is cozy. The tofu teriyaki became a bit too sweet and salty after a few bites. Our server was very pleasant but one of the staff behind the counter was very rude to us and we hesitate to return because it left a bad impression.

This was the best dining experience we had in Paris...and we had some good ones. The flavours- delicious! The service- the finest The ambience - perfection! Most importantly our little boy ate more at this meal than any other. He devoured the tofu tapa and then the soy protein and rice bowl. He also sampled our soups and would have eaten those too if we hadn't objected. Highly recommend!

If you’re ever craving authentic Japanese soba, this is the place to go! The flavor is absolutely spot-on, and the warmth of the owner couple makes the experience even more special.

Amazing Soba restaurant! Atmosphere is nice, and staffs are friendly. Soba is very tasty and delicious. The soba pudding is also a must try. Highly recommended! No reservation for this restaurant so better come when the restaurant just opens.

I never expected to find such delicious soba in Paris. The restaurant was clean, the staff were polite, and most importantly, the soba was incredibly tasty—I was very satisfied. The karaage and salted cabbage were also really good. It's not just "good for being overseas"; even if this restaurant were in Japan, I would definitely be a regular. That’s how good it is. Highly recommended!

Delicious Japanese canteen serving traditional soba noodles (both cold and hot). The dishes are freshly made and very tasty. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Be aware that the concept behind the canteen is sharing your table with strangers - don't be intimidated. People usually queue up for a long time to enter, as there is no booking system (it works on a first come first serve basis). I'd recommend coming at the opening hours to avoid/reduce the wait.

Soba set menu! 💙 it’s classic japanese summer noodle and taste is so good!

Exceptional soba, on par with what you'd find in Japan. The cold lime broth was light and refreshing for a hot summer day.

Authentic Japanese soba. Lightly fried chicken was tender and juice that tastes better than the ones I had in Japan. All the staffs were warm and smiling to cutomers even though they were so busy. Great restaurant in Paris!

Definitely need reservations - we walked in but we will lucky to do so. The soba is very nice and the pickle variety was great too. Very refreshing meal with a wide menu (we didn’t even try the sushi). Service was solid as well and the food arrived quickly. The mochi was good but I went with a sorbet and an ice cream would have been a better options.

Unfortunately it’s the worst Japanese restaurant I’ve tried in Paris so far. Soba was okay but you can make it at home if you buy the high quality ones in the Japanese supermarket in town. We didn’t get the pickles as showed in other people’s photos either. Tempura was good compared to the others though. We also ordered the sashimi and urchin hand rolls. The quality was good but it’s overpriced (maybe because of the location). Honestly Ryo and even Takara have better sashimi options than here with lower price while also in the city centre. The service level was unfortunately very low- we can feel the difference how they treat Japanese guests compared to serve others. It’s unacceptable. Another thing to note is that you need to make reservations for their lunch bento. Very disappointed and I will never come back.

Exquisite experience at Yen! This gem in Paris 06 delivers an authentic Japanese culinary journey with its exceptional soba noodles and finely crafted dishes. The service is impeccable, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere that complements the beautifully minimalist decor. A must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of Japan in the heart of Paris. Highly recommended if you can afford it!

It’s our favorite Japanese Restaurant in whole Europe! We made reservation with ten days advance notice and arrived directly from the airport to dine in. Their flavors are just amazing. I don’t know where and how they are getting their salmon and tuna but it’s the freshness and richest flavor fish I was able to taste outside of Japan. That flavor and the freshness is the key to the “waw” factor whether in tartare, sashimi, or nigiri. Had also delicious mixed tempura and cod. Miso Cod was on an overdone side as it was served in 4 small pieces instead of one, making the edges dry, but the nice flavor compensated for it. Service is very pleasant. The only thing I would suggest to the owners is to update the furniture in the patio and bring some modern Japanese art on the walls. The place is too sterile and does not photograph well.

Genuine taste of Japanese food. Warm soba is wonderful dish for winter, and we feel very detoxed and cleansed after the dinner. Great service and good tempo, and dog friendly is amazing addition for us.

I didn’t make reservation and can get in at 12. I ordered oursin tofu as entree and soba oursin as main. Tofu amazed me, tofu is served with urchin and soy sauce jelly and it has a smooth and great texture. Soba is chewy and it is also good.

Just, YES YES YES AND YES. I came with my Japanese friend, and it was delicious. She said it was super authentic and was even able to speak Japanese with the waiters. The service was immaculate, and the food mouthwatering. And the desserts don’t even get me started. 100% recommended! Do you and have a little basket for your bag? It was so cute.

The food was absolutely delicious and arrived incredibly fast — I blinked and it was already on the table! The ramen was a generous portion and full of flavor. The staff were warm and welcoming. Highly recommended for a quick and satisfying meal in Paris!

Delicious food and excellent service. Highly recommend!

The food is so good! We chose the fish and tofu katsu with curry and rice and it was so fresh and delicious, we had a great time. The owner and staff were so friendly and helpful, we definitely recommend and will come back for more when we are in Paris again!

Very tasty food and reasonable prices. Highly recommend the Katsu chicken! Our waitress was very sweet and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience.

Very welcoming and helpful staff, quick service and very reasonable pricing. Wonderfully crispy chicken karage as starters or main, delightful châshu ramen with soft-as-you-like rendered pork belly slices, lifted by the chef's home-made hot condiment, and a nice tonkatsu - not to be confused with tonkotsu ;) - that led to a lovely chat with the owners making a determined go of this in an area already bursting with options.

Really loved my experience here. The food and service were both great, and it was nice to have some Japanese food whilst on a trip to Paris. Would definitely recommend!

Great food and atmosphere! Our server was amazing and very helpful. Ramen and gyoza are a must.
