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. read more

don't go here. my friend and I went today and sat up against the kitchen and in the span of 3 minutes we saw three! different cockroaches. we hadn't even ordered and after seeing that I would never try anything from this place..additionally the bugs were running around the take out boxes so be aware! N'y allez surtout pas ! Mon ami et moi y sommes allés aujourd'hui et, assis près de la cuisine, nous avons vu trois cafards différents en seulement trois minutes ! Nous n'avions même pas commandé et, après ça, je n'y remettrai jamais les pieds. En plus, les insectes se promenaient dans les boîtes à emporter, alors faites attention ! read more

I eat a ton of Asian food. Probably more than any other type of food. Although this place is probably legit a Japanese restaurant, I ordered mabo tofu and it was by far the best I've ever had - including every Chinese restaurant I've ever had it at. We ended up here because we were waiting at Kodawa forever (second attempt on a second day) and I finally realized we were going to starve. Ha. So I took off running down side streets to see what was around and stumbled on this place. I ran back to Kodawa and brought the family back with me and we were seated in 5 minutes. The wait staff was super friendly. All spoke English (I also heard French and Japanese being spoken around me). As I said, I ordered the mabo tofu, and if you're a fan, get it without thinking. My son ordered sukiyaki and loved it. My daughter ordered ramen and loved it. My wife ordered a seafood noodle and loved it. All portions were good size. Prices were reasonable given the comparisons. Food was out from the kitchen in less than 10 minutes. I'd eat here every time I visit Paris. read more

Cute interior and afforable prices, but not super impressive ramen or curry if you're familiar with authentic Japanese food. I'm not sure if Paris just doesn't have great Asian options, but this place had high ratings on Google and a line going outside the door (although it moved quickly) so I had higher expectations for the food. We got the katsu curry, which tasted like grocery store Golden Curry and had soggy katsu. We also got the Chashu Ramen which had huge portions with lots of noodles and chashu, but they didn't remind me of ramen noodles. Gyoza were very mediocre, and I wish I had gotten the set without them. If you are looking for authentic ramen or good Asian food, this isn't the place but it does have a cute, modern interior! read more

Took a break from being sophisticated and fancy food and decided to go for some ramen. Very good bowl of noodles, and price isn't bad. I'm not really into ramen like I am for pho, but the broth is very good and hearty. read more

Pretty good ramen for the area I believe. However if you're a ramen enthusiast, it may not live up to the hype. Thin broth which I imagine is healthier, but if you love thick, rich broth you won't find it here. The place looks small but it has a decent sized basement. As such, the line to get in moved quicker than expected. The gyoza was very good, loved the crispiness of it. Food came out quickly. Overall if you are craving a quick bowl, check it out. read more

Definitely a solid meal. Prices aren't the cheapest, but the portions are very filling. When we arrived, there as a small line outside the restaurant. It took us about 15-20 minutes to be seated. The main entrance floor is very hectic with an open view of the kitchen. We were seated in the quieter basement area downstairs, which was a bit stuffy. Overall though, the staff was very nice and helped us to order. Gyozas are good, no complaints there. Pan-fried, hot and crispy. Ramen had good flavor and a big portion of noodles. No egg though! That's usually my favorite part in a ramen dish. Can't go wrong with the pork katsu either. A lot of other tables next to us got this stir-fried noodle dish. It looked HUGE. Giant plate of proteins, noodles, and veggies. If you're looking to take a break from all the French food in Paris, Hokkaido is a good option. The meal wasn't life altering, but our stomachs were full and we were happy. read more

I got the Champon Ramen, which was packed with vegetables and a few thin slices of pork in a clear broth. The vegetables were very fresh, and the noodles were decent. After eating the ramen at Dosanko Larmen, I had hoped for soup comparable in depth of flavor, but the broth here did not have much flavor and even after using the condiments on the table, I couldn't doctor it up enough to take more than a few sips. The portion is huge (for Paris) so if you want a filling dish, this would fit the bill. The menu special of 11 Euros included 5 gyoza which were very good; crisp on one side, tender tasty filling, and not greasy. I would definitely order these again, but maybe instead of ramen, I would try one of their noodle or rice dishes, both of which looked good on other tables. Service was very pleasant, and even though it was packed, the food came out rapidly. read more

I had the miso ramen with pork and 5 Ramen and it was a pretty solid meal. It wasn't the best ramen but not too bad. The menus don't come in English but the waiter was very nice to explain everything. It was a little but cramped and stuffy eating in the basement. The cost for two Ramen and drink came out to $32 euro. read more

Can I be honest? Why does this place have more than 3 stars? After having such an amazing experience at Kunitoraya, I thought for sure that Hokkaido would totally kill it. We waited in line to get on (another) rainy night with mostly locals and some totally rude tourists. The wait was longer than I expected, but once we got in, we were ushered down to their lower level in what seemed like the basement/dungeon. We ordered two orders of the highly-talked about gyoza, one shio ramen and one shoyu ramen. The food came out fairly fast, and the gyoza were definitely stuffed full, but I can't say that it outdid anything I ever had back in SF. The ramen, was surprisingly good, but again, it just seemed like fast food Japanese. One thing that Hokkaido certainly doesn't skimp on is the portion size. I saw plates of noodles and rice dishes that were piled high. The ramen come in pho sized bowls, so if you're starving (we weren't), this seems like the place to come. Thankfully, the combination option of getting 5 gyoza + ramen was 11 EUR. Not too bad since I think you get exactly what you pay for. All in all, while the meal was filling, and there wasn't a whole lot to complain about, I think my fiance and I were sort of thinking how we should have spent our time in line at the more authentic looking ramen place on Rue Saint Anne. Meh. Next time. And next time, we probably won't come here. read more

We ended up in this place following the crowd. Whatever you choose, order the menu with the gyoza. Gyozas are out of this world, so delicious. The yakiudon was great great! So tasty. It was difficult to choose among different ramen options. We had the one with champion - was very good as well. And go for them Kirin beer. I had to rely on my school French-wish they had English menus as well. read more

After 3 months I finally had the chance to eat ramen again. My friend and I arrived at the restaurant at 7pm on a rainy Monday so it was not that busy. I ordered the miso ramen with 7 gyoza for 11e which is super cheap for Paris. Now to the taste... The gyoza was really good, crispy on one side and balanced in taste. The ramen was not the best one I have ever had: the soup didn't have that depth of an excellent ramen, the bamboo shoots a bit over powering, I prefer dried nori sheet rather than the seaweed here. However considering the price, I was satisfied with what I get. I would recommend to people who is looking for a place to have a cheap but still good meal. read more

Ugh.... kind of annoyed we wasted our time in Paris waiting in line to go here. It was cold out and I had a real hankering for ramen and Yelp recommended this place. There was a line out on the block when we got there but it moved fairly quickly- I would say we were in line all of 15 minutes. My husband and I got seated at a large communal table which would not have been our preference. Once seated, the waitstaff forgot about us completely and we had to wave people down to get menus, order drinks and order dinner. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and my husband ordered the curry rice. His food came out promptly but they came back to tell me they were out of tonkotsu. I switched to a shoyu ramen- big mistake! The broth had almost no flavor at all, like I was just eating noodles in boiled water. My husband was happy with his curry rice but didn't think it was worth waiting for. Please save your time and go to one of the more interesting and flavorful Japanese restaurants in the area. read more

Food - 3 (ramen only) Service - 5 Price - 3 Ambience - 4 This review is based just off of the Ramen. It was very watery, lacked flavor, there were a ton of veggies and very little pork. Also, the was no egg. I love Ramen. Especially, Spicy Miso Ramen with extra pork, the egg and I add Sirach now. I have even had it with black garlic oil which was excellent. I think that if your going to sell an item you should try to perfect it. That could be done with a little research via google just trying new places then creating your own. I hope Hokkaido excepts this suggestion and acts on it. We want to come back next year. read more

Very tasty! Between the four of us, we ate four bowls of ramen (three were chashu and one was champon.) And four orders of gyozas, and a chashu rice bowl. So satisfying!! Service was efficient and friendly! Economical too! read more

Nice place to get Japanese food in Paris since it is located in the Japanese district. The inside and outside decoration is subtle in a modern way. Prices are affordable (less than 10€ a plate), and they have a "menu" formula with gyozas. Please note that they don't do desserts, but they do serve nice drinks and wine. Their service is on from 11:30 am to 10:30 pm! It is quick thanks to a dynamic staff which is also very kind and polite. read more

Don't come in expecting authentic Japanese food: I've had it many a time in Japan. However, the food tastes fine if you don't try to compare it with the original dishes. Most importantly regarding the ramen, the noodles are not quite the right texture, but they are al dente and work all right. We arrived around 15:30 on a Saturday, and there was no wait: we were almost immediately seated at the table right in front of the door. We ordered the miso ramen with seven gyoza combo (11 Euro), chasyu ramen (8.30 Euros), champon ramen (8.30 Euros), and butaniku shogayaki (10.50 Euros). The miso ramen was the saltiest of the four dishes, but it wasn't the saltiest I've ever tasted. I liked the flavor and fillings in the champon ramen best: Chinese cabbage and squid with some pork and ginger. The chasyu was not barbecued as it should have been: it just seemed like slices of boiled pork. The butaniku dish was definitely missing a key ingredient: ginger. Oh, well: it tasted okay, and it came with rice, miso soup, and pickled daikon radish. The service was also fairly good for this king of restaurant: we didn't have to ask for refills on our water, and we didn't have to wait too long to get our bill. The verdict: I suppose this place is fine if you are desperate for some noodle soup that somewhat reminds you of their Japanese counterparts. read more

Food - 3.5 (rice bowls only) Service - 5 Price - 3 A solid 3 stars. This place is good for when you have a craving for asian food while in France. I had the Katsu Don and it was exactly what I needed after a long travel day. Flavors were a great balance, not too salty, not too bland. Tip: Get some Gyoza since they were really fresh and didn't taste like frozen ones! If you're in the area and want some rice bowls, this is your place. Heads up, menu was only in French but if you need help, you can just ask someone. read more

This is a review for our visit on 31 August 2013. Our first choice Takara was closed for Saturday lunch and we only had less than an hour to head to Charels De Gaulle, so we tried this place for a quick lunch. A Japanese woman greeted us upon arrival, but all the other staff were non-Japanese. Katsu-don came within a reasonable time, but we waited for over 20 minutes for Miso Ramen. Katsu-don was well made and the portion was generous, but there was nothing special about Miso Ramen. read more

The worst impress is the detach of interior and food, mostly due to absolutely worst food. 'Over package' it was, definitely normal food in a nice-looking restaurant. However the other way around would be actually appreciate, why? It's food. I am sharing some pictures took from my lunch, these are Hakkododon and Oyakodon. To be honest, I haven't seen any Japanese restaurant produced such awful quality food like some of the cheapest Chinese takeaway. No discrimination, I am Chinese too, but the quality is no better and I feel angry about the attitude how this restaurant runs. Well, if you fancy takeaway but to sit down in a nice environment, this is your first choice ;) read more

Hokkaido was quite good - I'm not sure what all the complaints are about. OK, I've had better ramen at Ippudo in NY (famous for its 2-hour wait times) and random joints in Sendai and Aomori in Japan, but this definitely exceeded my expectations. For €11, my bowl of Chashu ramen and plate of gyoza on a cold Saturday evening was delicious. The gyoza are nicely cooked and flavorful and the sauce was appropriately vinegary. The pork in the ramen was definitely better than average, the noodles were chewy and abundant, and the flavor of the broth was deep and rich. My wife's miso ramen was good too, but maybe a half step down in terms of flavor, so I'd recommend the soy-based broth over the miso-based. Oh, and I did miss the slow-cooked egg that is usually a staple of good ramen - maybe you can add one on, but I didn't know how. The place was noisy and bustling, but with a friendly, energetic vibe rather than a hectic one. 7:30pm was the perfect time to arrive on a Saturday evening, as we were seated instantly, but the line quickly built up at the front entryway and was probably 15 deep by the time we left an hour later. You pay at the back counter, probably to help speed up turnover, and the tables are closely packed, but I consider that to be part of the experience at a ramen joint. And I still had more elbow room than the last ramen place I went to in Sendai. read more

Came here for sushi, not ramen or yakitori-- and it was great! The service was good and the waiter/waitress came with the dishes at appropriate times. The gyoza appetizer was also pretty good, but nothing to write home about. The fish was fresh and good sized. The rolls & nigiri had good rice with the right temperature and nice flavor. I'd come here again (and maybe I will in a week!). read more

There's an area of Paris in the 2eme arrondissment that has become "Little Japan" over the years, and Rue St. Anne. Yesterday, we decided to have lunch at Hokkaido. It was quite crowded, since most of the people there are the lunch crowd from the various commercial areas around L'Opera. It's not a fancy place, but it was bustling with lots of activities and the folks running the restaurant were extremely nice. We went a little later, and were able to get in no problems. Apparently they serve food throughout the day. They're known for their gyoza, they didn't disappoint it was very good. Crispy on the bottom and nice, moist and juicy in the inside. They serve you a miso soup, it was good. I had the tonkatsu, it was fried perfectly fine while my companions ordered the seafood platter over rice. The ramen was good. It's not a high-end place, it's a nice place for a quick lunch. All-in-all it was a grood lunch for a GREAT price. I don't think I saw anything over 12€. read more

Even though Hokkaido was packed when a few friends and I went for a weekday lunch, we were seated right away. The atmosphere is cozy, like a Japanese canteen. However, we sat downstairs close to the kitchen, which was quite smelly. If you can, ask to be seated upstairs! I ordered the gyoza and vegetable ramen. Portions are big, so come with an equally large appetite! My dining experience was excellent. I'd definitely return to taste some other items on the menu. read more

There are many Japanese restaurants in this area and many of them are good - Hokkaido is one of them. Again, you'll be waiting a bit if you go at the popular times. They are also very attentive to customers' wishes: I went with a Jewish friend and he asked for soup that didn't have pig broth and they were happy to serve him that. I tried some of the soup and actually I think it tasted better than the broth that is usually served. All of the food is great, Ramen is tasty and not greasy. Prices are affordable and we didn't wait long for our food to come. read more

Decent lunch spot. The ramen is a bit salty but service is quick, noodles are firm, and prices are ok(11€ for gyoza and basic ramen). Workers there aren't Japanese in case ur looking for an authentic experience! read more

One of the better places in the Little Japanese area. I really love their gyoza. It was so good that that after eating the one that came with the our set meal, we ordered another appetizer plate. One of the great things about this place is their portion size. When you order a ramen or a plate of udon or something that comes with rice, it's a mountain of food. My boyfriend had the yakisoba and it has a very vinegary taste that he wasn't used to so he didnt like it so much. i had the sukiyaki don for 14 EUR. it was on the expensive side of the menu, but it literally came with a small hot pot full of goodies. The sukiyaki could have been saltier, and there could have been more meat in the hot pot, but i was happy with it. Got full pretty quickly. i'd definitely come back. read more

Not bad! I got the katsudon which tasted like it normally does. Eggy and fried-porky and soft and warm. Katsudon always tastes like home to me. There were some slices of mushroom up in there. Definite plus, not only in flavor, but also in texture. I appreciated this dish very much. Anyways, for the ramen, the broths seem to be flavorful and "clear" if that makes sense. Not too heavy but very nicely paired with the ramen. Came with lots of vegetables, which is nice! Eating out usually means that you skip out on the veggies, so that was a nice touch. The gyoza was not bad! I'm a dumpling fanatic though, so I'm both hard to please and hard to disappoint. They were freshly fried and the stuffing was good in terms of flavor. But something about the dough and it's slight dryness that made me feel like they were lacking. Overall, nothing was remarkable, but also not too much to complain about, so I would go again. read more

Shortly after landing in Paris, my friend and I had some hunger pains and wanted to grab a late lunch to qualm our hangryness. Luckily, Hokkaido was just across the street from the cute, quaint hotel (Hotel Square Louvois) that we were staying at. Welcome to Hokkaido- a local joint situated in the 2nd arrondissement area, Hokkaido has many dining options ranging from ramen to rice bowls. We shared an order of gyoza (pan fried dumplings-5 per order) which was delightful, perfectly fried for that crunch texture with juicy pork filing inside. I opted for the beef bowl (gyudon) since I was hankering for some red meat. The beef was marinated in a slightly sweet savory sauce layed over sticky rice and definitely whetted my appetite; however, the meat was a bit tough in my opinion and nothing too crazy to rave about. My friend ordered the katsu-don which looked quite tasty as well and she enjoyed it very much so. After visiting Japan a few weeks back, it's hard for me to find someting as impressive as the real deal, although Hokkaido is a place that is decent and still authentic enough to try, especially if you have a craving for Japanese food. read more

After extensive renovation works during 3 months last summer, the well-known Hokkaido for its tasty Japanese food with a good value for money opened end of last summer 2015, totally revamped and changed.

The restaurant was packed, which was a good sign for us. We barely squeezed in the one opening in the oversized shared tables. The room was packed, however it was surprisingly quieter than I would expect. It seemed that the structure sucked up the noise, so we could hear each other speak comfortable in a room packed with people. Everything we saw looked delicious. I ordered noodles and my fiancé ordered fried rice. We were both very satisfied with our orders. Me especially. I love Asian food, and this was the best noodle dish I have ever had. It was so good that we came back two days later! Two times in one place on vacation isn't something we would usually do, so that tells you how much we enjoyed it! Check them out! You won't regret it! read more

One of my favarite places to go in Paris. I highly recommend the dish called Hokkaidodon. Known as Fruits of the sea, it has calamari, shrimp, scallops on a bed of veggies and rice. Awesome! Nothing fancy- just good cooking. Recently the inside has been redone and flows a lot better. Check it out next time you are in Paris! read more

Ok but very plain... services is good. Location is wonderful. But the ramen is not tasty.

Pretty traditional ramen but expect a wait and to come out smelling like food after your meal.

Loved it! It's not always easy to find authentic and tasty Japanese food in Paris but Hokkaido is a sure thing. Very tasty and comforting food. We had a few rice and noodle dishes but I haven't tried the gyoza or the soup yet. There's sometimes a bit of a wait but the line always seems to move fast. I also like that it's open all day including Sundays! read more
