Ambiance - it was a rainy, chilly night in Paris and we wanted delicious ramen without the wait. Came up to the restaurant and quickly sat at the counter style table. Food - we ordered chive pork gyoza (fantastic) they also have delicious dumpling sauce at each seat that pairs well with the gyoza. For Ramen, we ordered the Tonkotsu miso rouge with egg - delicious, thick pork and miso broth with spicy sauce. I would say the spice lever was low, but you can probably ask for more (or use the spicy sauce they provide and the Tonkotsu Noir - incredible balance between spice and garlic, perfect noodles. Not pictured - we had the Kirin beer which paired well. Overall, menu was easy to understand and the serving size was perfect. Service - so fast, kind, and clean. Run, don't walk! read more

The. Best. Ramen. Spot. In. Paris. *AMBIANCE* The restaurant is quite small, and during peak times there can be a wait outside. They also have these tiny cubbies/baskets you can store your stuff in if you are seated at the bar. There's also extra seating upstairs. *FOOD* Get the gyoza! It was probably my favorite thing that I ate while I was visiting. The gyoza was piping hot, fresh, and had an extra crispy exterior. I had the house special and the ramen was delicious and comforting on those cold winter nights. You can also choose how flavorful you would like the broth to be and the firmness of your noodles. *SERVICE* Service was really efficient and all of our dishes came out quickly. Definitely recommend if you're having a ramen craving! read more

2nd day here for dinner, it's about 12mins. walk from our AIRBNA but so worth the 2nd time around. The staff remembers us from yesterday. Atmosphere is small but very cozy, we sat upstairs both times & was very lucky we didn't have to wait since they needed a party of 4. We maybe try one more time before we go home to US. Will definitely miss this place once we leave. read more

Hakata Choten - Sorry was so hungry & addicted that I ate after posting...lol so good I'm losing my mind. - Ramen Near Me - Paris, 75

While visiting Paris on vacation I found this wonderful Ramen gem. It's a tiny location with huge flavor and eager service. Fortunately I arrived between the lunch and dinner rush and was pleasantly received. Service was eager to help me make my selections. I was particular about what I did and did not want and Hakata Choten performed perfectly. Ramen broth was very tasty and temperature was perfect. Veggies were fresh and highly portioned. Thank you! read more

Talk about some really rich decadent tonkatsu based broth! Saw good reviews so we came to try it out and were not disappointed. I'm not a huge gyoza fan, but theirs was definitely good - worth a try. The restaurant is small with an upstairs seating area as well. Unfortunately the wait was long. Not only did we wait 40 minutes to enter the restaurant, we waited another 30 after we ordered to receive our ramen...not sure why it took so long. If you have the time to kill, definitely worth a try. We went around 7:45 on a Monday night, the restaurant had really cleared out by 9 so later is better. read more

Good to find a good ramen in Paris. Service was good and the place are small and it get pack fast at lunch time.

Needed an Asian fix while visiting this beautiful city and this place didn't disappoint. Ordered their dumplings, edamame and tonkatsu ramen. Tasty and so good on a rainy, chilly day! read more

Sad to give this place only three stars. I really wanted to give it more but there were some things lacking about the ramen. What I will give them credit for us their customer service. I've lived in japan for a few years and customer service is truly part of the Japanese culture. I'm glad that the servers here are friendly, smile and speak multiple languages! Parts that bummed me out, I order the tonkatsu with pork and it was just ok. The bowl was sloppily presented and the pork just crumbled anytime I tried to pick it up (not a good crumble. More like a, I've been frozen too long crumble). Pros: friendly fast service. Cons: crumble pork and sloppy presentation. Each ramen bowl was 15€. read more

THIS. RESTAURANT. IS. MY. DREAM! creamy Ramen and quick Service - i was all alone but sitting there among the other customers was really nice. It's delicious, creamy and just how I like my Ramen! Went there 3 Times in a week so yeah. Happy customer :) read more

Decent Ramen. Had the house special. Thought having the option to select noodle firmness and fat/oil concentration in broth was empowering and fun. Staff, couldn't have been kinder or more helpful. Awesome people and get a +1 star for service alone. Like ramen? Probably worth a visit. PS - an earlier review mentions this place can throw down with Toronto ramen. That assessment is not accurate. read more

Hakata Choten - Ramen Near Me - Paris, 75

Let me start with how much I LOVE Ramen. Living in Lo's Angeles, CA where we arguably have the best Ramen outside of Japan, this place gives most LA Ramen places a run for their money. Like every good Ramen joint, it's a hole in the wall, down a street (currently under construction) full of other Asian restaurants. This place has a wait, but the wait goes fast. Not a good place for a party larger than 5. They have a great variety of Ramen flavors, they do spicy miso, my favorite, but it's not over the top spicy. Infact, I'd give it 3 out 10 on the spice scale. So those unable to hand a lot of spice but love the flavor, this one is worth a try. They have chili oil if you want to add more. read more

Their Special Signature Ramen was excellent. Before this my favorite ramen was in Düsseldorf , Germany two years ago. read more

We got in line at 12:30 and were seated shortly after. The space downstairs is small, but there is a bit more room in the upstairs dining area. Split an order of gyoza and spicy black garlic ramen. Gyoza - fantastic. Ramen - less so. The broth was great, the noodles were perfect, but the egg and pork weren't up to par. Both were dry and overcooked, I much prefer a nice softboiled egg and some pork belly. Still finished everything without (much) complaining though! read more

We were wandering around Paris looking for a quick lunch and saw a strange amount of people lined up outside of this ramen place and ... well, if there's people lining up for a restaurant chances are it's really awesome. This was definitely the case here. GET THE GYOZA. It's god-tier. Docked a star because we were seated right by the door which also was broken. The food was incredible, but out table was pretty miserable. Every time anyone left the door stayed wide open and we got blasted with cold air. This is probably fixed by now, but, it seems bad to seat people so close to the front of the restaurant if they know this is an issue. Still, definitely worth going to and would totally go back. read more

I had the original tonkotsu ramen. Broth is flavorful without being too salty or greasy. Noodles are al dente. Soft boiled egg is nice but could use a bit more flavor. My partner had the noir (with garlic oil). The garlic taste isn't strong enough, and the broth is greasier. Apparently their gyoza has won some kind of award in Japan! They are certainly among the best I have had. Wrapper is fresh, thin and crispy (but not burnt). The ratio of meat and cabbage is perfect. Would definitely come back for more next time I go to Paris! read more

Came here because all of a sudden I was really craving ramen when I was in France, for some reason... Hakata Choten is open a little later than most places it seems, but not incredibly so. It seems that stuff doesn't stay open that late in this city. Anyways, Hakata Choten's ramen is fine, but even though they claim they use a pork base for their soup, I thought mine tasted incredibly like fish. I really don't know why, but it kind of made my bowl of noodles taste odd. The noodle texture was fine, and everything else was okay, including the ambiance and the price, but I just couldn't get over the odd taste. Hopefully, I was the only one with this issue? read more

HORRIBLE FOOD QUALITY! The goyza were only half filled so you are mostly eating the dumpling skin and air. There was one gyoza that only contained a large piece of cabbage and a touch of meat (around the size of a piece of gum pellet). The spicy miso sauce was good though. Not spicy but it tasted good. The ramen was mediocre. The egg was over cooked. There were people sitting around us and we heard separate groups of people saying how gross the food was. At least two people at separate tables didn't finish their bowl of ramen. The waitresses were polite and provided good service. read more

Stopped by as I was craving ramen and heading to the airport, and I'm glad I did! I was seated quickly at the long table facing the wall since I went individually. All the condiments and napkins were easy to reach and there was a nice little basket under the seat for my backpack. Not sure if it was because I was famished or not, but the ramen here is marvelous. The broth was delicious and the noodles were just the right texture. The egg was also really flavorful and yummy, going well with the noodles! The only issue, and the big issue, is that the pork was way too cooked and lacked much flavor. It was also chopped up a bit so that there were slices and hard chunks, which wasn't very tasty. I guess I was too hungry to care at that moment, but it's definitely something that's a big no-no for ramen shops! I would try again and hope they fixed it! read more

I don't normally write reviews but I felt it was important this time. I would give this place zero star if that was a possibility. We came here and ordered the 3 different ramen & charsu pork rice dish. The ramen was ok, the garlic base soup was a bit too salty. The miso based one was way too sweet. The charsu pork rice dish was extremely burnt so we brought that to our waitress's attention immediately. She offered to remake the dish for us. As we were waiting for our new order she then tells us she would need to charge us again for a dish. This makes no sense why we would need to pay twice for one order!!!! Julia the waitress should of explained this to us before taking our burnt dish and offering to make a new one. Regardless you don't treat customers like this and try to charge someone twice for a dish they haven't even got!!! How is serving burnt food even acceptable and yo offer then want to recharge a customer???? Needless to say the Service was extremely horrible and Julia was rude. I didn't even want to waste my breathe arguing with her so I paid for a dish that I never ate so they basically robbed me. Please Think twice about going to this place!!! read more

Made a trek here from the 16e on a rainy Sunday. Got there at about 1 pm and the line was only 6 people deep. By the time I got there it had grown considerably. I ordered the tonkatsu black ramen and chasu. Also tried the potstickers with green onions. A bit on the pricey side--total bill was $26. The ramen was good. Still not as good as in the Bay Area. The flavors in the broth were too subtle for me and not as intense as I had hoped but solid. But the noodles were al dente, the chasu was tender. The potstickers were crispy and meaty and cooked perfectly. Probably won't go there again because there are a ton of other Asian places I'd like to try before I'd go back. read more

Goodbye packaged ramen - hello Tonkotsu Ramen! This is where I have been initiated into the world of fine dining - on this particular trip, Japanese Tonkotsu ramen. Before this experience, the only ramen I've ever tried was from a 10 cent packet of instant noodles. Let me just say that this was a life changing event. After a day long event at the Louvre, the talking and walking and the cold weather took a toll on us and we were craving some warm soup to soothe our weary bodies. Whipped out my trusty phone and Yelp provided the next steps: a short trek to Hakata Choten! The place had a unique red on black japanese deco theme and the place was pretty cramped. We found our seating close to the front door and the lady that attended to us was polite and explained some of the items on the menu. The wife went for the original tonkotsu ramen while I experimented with the Tonkotsu ramen noir. The broth was a rich and hearty immersion of flavor that just left me in awe. The thin slices of pork, mung bean shoots and season egg together with the dark sauce completed my meal. The ramen noodles itself were served sub al dente, which is how i ordered them and was exactly what I needed to complete my day. I highly recommend this place for both those new to Ramen and the more seasoned folk. read more

Im not a big ramen fan but this is hands down the best Ramen I had in Paris so far. Even comparable to the best ones I've had in Toronto. Legit and extremely flavourful soup. Don't bother eating it from any other japanese place! Also the gyozas are also fantastic and again the best I've had in Paris. The bottoms are perfectly crispy, which is key to a good gyoza imho :) They aren't the typical frozen ones with the thick outer skin you get at most of the regular restaurants. Definitely a must try read more

Hakata Choten - Ramen Near Me - Paris, 75

I traveled all the way to Paris to enjoy the best ramen of my life. The pork broth had incredible depth of flavor and the noodles were cooked to perfection. I would have returned to this location if I had found it before my last day in Paris. Go go go to Hakata Choten! read more

Very good Ramen house! Taste of the soup and the ramen was very special, and also the guioza was nice, but small.

Long line, just okay ramen. But this is Spa.. Paris.

Went to this restaurant after an afternoon at the Louvre. The edamame was delicious and the ramen was decent. They only have pork broth but it was still pretty good. The egg inside was cold but everything else was piping hot. Service was pretty quick and their menu had an English translation. Would recommend for a quick lunch after a day at the Louvre. read more

Experts in Black garlic ramen! And that's all I need. The price is fair (12-13€), the gyoza are good, service is good, the place is nice, but nothing matters anyway when the ramen is so good. I discovered ramen recently and in a couple of months i must have been tonat least a dozen of places (follow my reviews to find my next best options). There is generally a line. They stop serving at 10pm. Enjoy! read more

I came here on a recommendation from a local person at nearby Starbucks, and I'm so disappointed. I am Ramen Enthusiast and I've been to Ramen places all over the world, but it's the first of its kind. Eggs are hard-cooked, dried seaweed smells nasty. Of course, it's 2 euros extra for each. As the soup starts to cool, the oil starts to dry up and it starts floating on the soup. The floor is slippery, so it's like a sledding slope. I almost broke my head. There are many ramen restaurants near so go elsewhere. Please avoid this place although I didn't check out other places because I was done with Ramen in Paris. I'm just not happy when I had to pay around 50 euros for two bowls of noodle and kyoja. Reviews and ratings on Yelp and TripAdvisor aren't to be trusted like good old days. read more

Very nice, I had a nice tonkotsu ramen noodles special Al dente. Subtle and spicy. Great taste. I recommend, no fuss, affordable.

Simple is best - short menu - al dente noodle, hot pork bone broth soup base and soft boiled egg, delicious.

Great stop for ramen. Service was very good. Soup is amazing. The broth is truly different and full of flavor. Do not pass this one up.

so so satisfied with the tonkotsu ramen, à good legit place with a decent price! can't wait to go back

This was an excellent place. We knew it must've been good because there was a line to get in and we weren't disappointed. The ramen and gyoza were very good and the service top notch. I'd certainly go again. read more
