My friend were lucky enough to dine here without a wait! The other day we came back and there was a…read morewait for 1 hour which is insane. This place does seafood broth based ramen and I could not wait to try it. First off the decor is very unique. It looks like you just stepped into a outdoor Japanese seafood market with fish, eel, crab hanging around (fake of course). We sat down and ordered right away since we were both starving. As an appetizer I got the edamame which was steamed fresh with flakes of salt. Very delicious. I got the lobster bisque based ramen. It was very rich with great flavors. It came with sliced duck breast, citrus flavored scallop, a soy sauce egg and other veggies. One of the most flavorful ramens I've ever had. I enjoyed every bite and slurp of it! My friend got the sardine shoyu ramen which came with two slices of sardines. He enjoyed this as well. We were very happy with our meals and the staff was so nice! One of my favorite meals I had in Paris for sure.

Incredible decor that really does feel like you are at Tsukiji market in Tokyo…read more Surprisingly didn't have to wait while trying to get in at 7pm on a Tuesday. The line got long shortly after though. Had the following: GYÔZA KODAWARI: dumplings that are deconstructed. Don't know why the called these dumplings. They aren't. Just deconstructed noodles with "filling". Calling them dumplings just sets expectations and makes the presented form annoying. NUTA DE GAMBAS BIO DE MADAGASCAR OSO : nothing carpaccio about this. It's slices of prawn on sushi style rice. It's more like a loose sushi than a carpaccio or any type. SARDINE SHOYU RAMEN: delicious and unique flavour. Haven't had this anywhere else before and it's done very well here. Strong flavour, not salty. I had the egg and chicken chashu add in. LOBSTER RAMEN: there is no lobster meat in this and they make sure to tell everyone to avoid misunderstanding. The flavour is strong and very nice as well. BLACK SESAME MINI DORAYAKI: it was ok. Not special though. Daifuku: looks like it was bought outside and just put on a plate. Overall, both ramen were very good and a unique change. The appetizers and desserts were disappointing though so I'd suggest to skip those.

We waited about 30 minutes for a table for 2. I tried 2 of their ramens - the Shio Paitan Ramen Chef Style and the Shio Ramen Chef Style. For starters, whatever you do, get it Chef Style. That adds the marinated egg and other toppings. The marinated egg along is a must. Both ramens tasted rich yet delicate, fresh and clean, and super soothing and filling. I preferred the Shio Ramen over the Shio Paitan Ramen since the flavors were more balanced while the Shio Paitan had a stronger lemon taste which I found overpowering. The chicken chashu and other toppings were all delicious, and as a non-pork eater, I appreciate the fact that there is a chicken option! This was such a cool spot for the ambiance alone but it was also a soothing meal and a refreshing change from all the French food we were having. Definitely worth a visit!

This is the first time I had to wait in a reasonably sized line for it but as always, it was worth the wait. This is "near the Louvre" but it's really not. It's quite a walk from there. It was (of course) cold & chilly so ramen was the perfect meal to help me power through my shopping excursion afterwards. Both bao buns were good but I think I actually liked the chicken better than the pork this time. I forgot which ramen I ordered but you can't go wrong. They are all good.

Ippudo was in a different arrondissement, but we decided to give it a try! We were seated right away upon walking in. They have English menus available if needed. I ordered the Karaka ramen which was brought out in about 15 minutes or so! It had a nice, spicy broth! It was very creamy and flavorful, the noodles and meat both tender. I opted to add an egg with mine and the inside was perfectly custardy. This was some of the best ramen i've had! It was the perfect cure for a cold, rainy day!

Started with the edamame which is a must have for me at ramen places and it was not salty or had soy sauce with it but it tasted great plain. Being pescatarian I had the epitempura ramen which is shrimp based and the broth had a nice blend of spices and it was traditional shoyu. The egg was nicely seasoned and was a level up from just a standard ramen egg. The tempura got soggy and split apart really fast- I would suggest eating this first. Also noting that it was a normal portion and not a ginormous American ramen bowl. My mom got the saumon caramelisee which was "delicious", but if she had a note it would be the rice toward the bottom absorbed the majority of the sauce. It was a small restaurant with plastic barriers every couple of tables. The service was really timely as well--I just wish they had more veg/dietary friendly options for the rice bowls and katsu part of the menu seeing as there is also only one tofu ramen and the rest are pork based

As a solo diner on a Tuesday evening, I only had to wait a few minutes. It's a small place and I expect if your group has more than 4 people, you'll have difficulty with seating. To start, I had the spicy wontons. I had expected them to be the traditional Sichuan style but instead, they were like crab rangoon filled with shrimp. At first glance, I was disappointed, but they were indeed delicious! To settle the Parisian palette, you can dip 'em in mayo if you like. I had the spicy yokohama ramen. Again I thought in traditional terms and expected a tantan men but instead it was the regular yokohama ramen with a side of hot sauce. In the end, I actually liked this as you can control the heat level. The noodles were amazing, and the chashu and egg were cooked exactly the right amount of time. While the food is really good, it is slightly pricey. For example, 3 wontons cost €7 and their homemade hot sauce cost €2 for a little dipping bowl.
