    I totally forgot to give my review for this disappointing service restaurant. We had such a…read morehorrible experience here. The food is really great. We were so happy to find this restaurant at first. But on our second visit, they put us in the upstairs area KNOWING it would close within 30 mins. We thought the restaurant was closing in 30 so we ate super fast. Despite doing so, they rushed us twice. After going downstairs we saw many customers still downstairs and was told that only upstairs was closing. WHY DID YOU PUT US UPSTAIRS THEN? We complained to the server and owner, both of them just shrugged. We are Asians - my husband is Korea actually. This is so embarrassing when our own kind in a foreign country treats people this way. I do not recommend coming here until their attitude improves.

    After 4 days in Paris, we needed a break from French cuisine, so we ended at Ilang, which was near…read moreour hotel and had decent reviews. The restaurant was quite busy, and there is seating on two floors. We sat on the ground level, cooled off with some Cass beers, and ordered away. Definitely get the spicy squid - it was very flavorful, spicy without kicking your butt, and oh so tender. Skip the Korean fried chicken, which had an odd texture. While we didn't have the largest assortment of banchan, they were all quite good. The haricot vert was a little odd, as I have never had that in Korea, but I guess it makes perfect sense in Paris :). Prices are very reasonable, and service was fast. Definitely a nice spot for Korea food in a convenient location.

    This was a fairly decent Korean meal in Paris…read more Reservations can be made on their website if you have basic French language skills. This is highly recommended as it's a small place, and they accepted very few diners without reservations on the night we visited. The interior is quite simple, but the staff were very friendly and spoke pretty good English. There is a tiny restroom upstairs. We each had the "opera" set menu which included fried dumplings, soup, and a choice of entrees. Everything was quite decent. The dumplings were hot and crispy with tasty filling but seemed like they were store bought and not made in house. The soup was decent but a bit bland. I had the bulgogi for my entree which was grilled at the table. It was also decent but not particularly flavorful. It was tender though. Overall a perfectly decent meal for your Korean fix in Paris.

    Lucky to have gotten the last table available cos I couldn't walk anymore from hunger The server…read morewas really nice and accommodating, he explained some dishes. I tried a typical Korean white wine (7€ for a glass). It was made from plum, so it's very fruity and sweet. I ordered chicken wings for an entrée and Uke Bibimbap for my main plate. The chicken wings were freshly fried and placed in a sweet sauce with some vegetables. It wasn't spicy at all. I wish the chicken would've been fried crispy tho, the textures would've been better. Compared to bibimbap, Uke bibimbap is placed on a hot plate with the beef still raw on top. The heat from the plate will cook it as you mix all the ingredients together. I added some soy sauce and gochujang to increase the flavors and must I say, this dish fulfilled my Korean food cravings. I loveeeeeeed it so much! Will definitely dream of eating this dish again.
