Best customer service experience in France so far (after two months). Came here for lunch, service was really fast. They realized I was pregnant and pulled me out of the line right away, which was so nice. I had fried udon noodles, which was delicious. My husband had the ramen, but his was ok. Will definitely come back for non-ramen dishes! read more

Lively, yet comfortable spot with plenty of welcoming staff. I had to try the Torikara because I love Japanese style fried chicken. The meat was high quality, very juicy, and the outside was fried perfectly. It was lightly breaded with a great crisp. If I didn't live thousands of miles away, I'd eat here all the time. read more

The food was good, not amazing, but very good. Especially for the price as dinner for three with sake was only €54 and we were stuffed. It gets busy with a line out the door, and the service isn't quick, but absolutely worth the effort. read more

Perfection. Great price, service and taste! All 3 of us walked out very full, content and maybe a little drunk with sake. Fantasic Friday afternoon. read more

Kintaro - Spicy Ramen with minced pork. Cannot wait to go back. - Japanese Near Me - Paris, 75

Miso Ramen. 10-15 euros REALLY THICK, you can feel the sodium with your throat. So, Beware. BUT, it's REALLY GOOD. There's the option of asking for more clear broth, which helps dilute the thickness. I would also try the Soy Sauce Ramen if you don't feel up for it. Ingredients are top notch. There can be long lines, especially for dinner, so plan ahead! read more

Fantastic Japanese restaurant if you're in the mood for ramen, udon, or curry. It's a small restaurant, but the service is pretty quick and accurate! We had the Gyoza, torikara, chashu ramen, tonkatsu curry, and kurogoma (black sesame) ice cream. All great! We might go back again tomorrow! read more

Food tastes good, but not the most digestible. Traveling with a Japanese chef. We agreed the food was good & an interesting fusion of Japanese and French styles, but we both had stomach aches after eating the ramen here. Visiting from the US. There was a line - waited maybe 20 minutes, which got our hopes up. 2 stars because: 1. Medium wait 2. Very noisy & crowded 3. Didn't speak English but we got by with pointing 4. Was seated right next to another table with a couple - kind of cramped. The man was obviously talking about us negatively (making comments and sexual gestures about homosexuals) and about the wait staff - who were obviously very busy. Maybe he was just drunk, but he probably wouldn't have been upset if there was a little more space in seating arrangements. 5. Understaffed for such a busy place on a holiday weekend. "If you're going to be open, be ready." 6. Got stomach aches after returning home. There are many other (less crowded) Japanese restaurants in this area. I would try some place else, or go to Gambinos just around the corner. More expensive, but well worth the experience. read more

Here on a family trip and my husband craves Asian food wherever we travel to. Looking for a place to eat near our hotel, we found Kintaro which was packed with people but we were luckily seated right away. Service was quick and friendly. Menu had a good variety. Definitely order the combo, or "formule" which is your entree + miso soup, and salad. Everyone in our party loved what the ate and we plan to go back for another meal before the end of our trip. read more

Sweet tofu in soba noodle. + Oh long ice tea. **** Friendly personnel. The place is packed, the kitchen is right in front of you, which makes up a vivid atmosphere. Decent price, portions could be slightly bigger. Overall, a (very) recommendable place to have dinner. read more

Was here July 7th, the soup base for ramen does not have any depth and my understanding is that they use it for miso, soy, and shio ramen. I had gekikara ramen and while it was spicy, the soup base tasted watery. Also no egg, and the slices of pork are really thin, thinner than deli meat. The ice kirin is just frozen kirin beer placed on top of kirin beer (like whip cream on top of hit cocoa or coffee), taking up 1/3 of the 50cl glass, skip this. read more

It satisfied my Asian food craving :) bento box is good, staff speaks good English here.

They have very reasonable price in the mist of Paris! Good customer service and very clean. The food is as expected with Japanese cuisine but then I have better Japanese food from where I live. read more

After a long trip through Europe, I was ready for some Asian food and especially Ramen. I looked all over Yelp to find ramen and found Kintaro which is super close to our hotel. My husband and I walked to Kintaro and was even more excited that there is a line out the door. It is a very small place and a decent wait time. However, the soup was very heavy and thick. Overall I was thoroughly disappointed and not what I expected. read more

Great food. Horrific (and a bit racist) staff/service. I went here for dinner with a friend on the night of 3/11/22 between 6-8pm. Our server was East Asian, long black hair slicked back, white t-shirt, and black pants. Dude needs work, because the food was amazing, but when it comes to work ethic/customer service, this guy is an oblivious clown. Sorry I'm not sorry. We came pretty early and they had just opened. Since there were only 3 other tables, we thought it would be fast/efficient service. Wrong! We ordered appetizers, an udon soup, and a couple donburis. The appetizers and soup were great and came out fast. It was all downhill after that. We waited almost an hour after finishing our donburis before we could get them, and that was after checking on their status with our server a couple times. During this time our server also brought us someone else's noodles by mistake and had to take it back. Thanks brah. Finally our rice bowls came, and again, great food. However, by then we were kinda bored of sitting there for so long. Our waiter waited until he finally brought the dishes over to tell us there was a "mistake" with the table numbers on the order which caused the delay. One, thanks for the last minute notice, but you could have told us this earlier. We would have understood and adjusted accordingly. Also, if your team makes this big of a mistake when there are only three other tables, then that's not a good sign. At the end of the meal, I then requested we get our things to-go because we were there longer than expected because of the server's mistake. I know the recent change to takeout is relatively new to some places in Paris still, but come on dude. It's the least you could do after YOUR mistake earlier in the evening. He kinda acted annoyed (again, after we had to wait an hour as a result of HIS error) and he then reluctantly did so. All you have to do is put our food that arrived late into a box man, it won't kill you. Heaven forbid that clients expect you to do your job while you are getting paid to work, right? It's lunacy, I know. One thing that I did notice out of the corner of my eye before asking though (and why I even did so in the first place) is that another table in the corner of the restaurant, of mostly white girls, also asked for takeout. But with them it was all sunshine and rainbows, no attitude. He packed up their food right away, no problem. For some added context, I am mixed race Latino and my friend is South Asian. I speak a little bit of French and my friend is fluent seeing as how she grew up in Paris. So it wasn't really a language barrier thing on our end. Having worked in Japanese companies before, I know that some East Asians still (whether intentionally, or subconsciously) still are a bit racist and believe in some asinine racial hierarchy, and this is how it came off tonight. To be honest, I genuinely feel bad for the cooks and back of house staff. They obviously know what they are doing and make really good authentic Japanese food (at least in reference to the dishes that I ordered) even though the restaurant is in Paris. However, I cannot say the same for the front of house staff. They need help. And fast. As snarky as this may sound, I guess it kind of made our meal even more authentic? Because we were able to get a side of bona fide East Asian racism with our udon and donburis. Bon Appétit! If I could give a recommendation to the owner/manager, it would be to keep your back of house, but start making some changes to the front of house staff, especially servers. I probably won't be back any time soon. There are literally tons of great ramen spots in Paris, so you don't have to put up with bad customer service more than once by going to the same place. Just keep it moving. Onto the next one. If you are one of those people that can tolerate trash service for great food, more power to you. My parents taught me to have self-respect though, so it's a hard pass for me. Just take the L tonight and do better tomorrow. read more

We love Kintaro from Vancouver, BC; so when we saw Kintaro in Paris, we were excited to try. The Kintaro in Vancouver is an authentic ramen place whereas Kintaro in Paris is like another Japanese restaurant that also sells ramen along with other Japanese/Korean/Chinese food. I didn't like the taste of Chashu ramen, the soup wasn't rich with flavors. The Shumai was Chinese style, so our kids didn't like it much either. Curry katsu was alright, but I don't think we will come back here again for an authentic ramen. read more

The best Ramen place you'll get in Paris. Don't look further, I've tried them all, literally. Don't expect a cosy atmosphere, it's all about efficiency here as in most of the Japanese restaurants rue Sainte-Anne. But their chefs are just amazing. They do ramens better than they do donburi (their soup is their secret recipe, it's really amazing). My routine is to start with some shumai and then have an oyako soba (soba, chichen, omelet in a soup). It's the best Japanese dish you'll have in Paris. Just trust me. read more

The design of the restaurant is simple but good. There are lots of choices of easy fast Japanese food. Good for lunch. The price also reasonable. read more

Food was fine. Nothing excited. 4 small pcs of Fried Chicken cost $6 euro. A bit too much and noodle just 9.5€ .

This is an average ramen restaurant nothing is amazing about it. The broth for the ramen was a bit too salty for me. The gyoza (dumpling) was pretty bad. It was a block of dumplings but the top was crispy and the other sides weren't. But the pork in the ramen was really good. read more

j'aime bien kintaro. près d'opèra les restaurants sonts souvent chèrs. mais pas kintaro. les lamens sont delicieux et un plat est moins que 10 euro. moi, je préfère le mabo lamen. je viens à kintaro au moins que une fois par semaine. c'est près de mon école. mes amies et moi, on a seulement une heure pour dejeuner, donc c'est bon que le service et très vite. on assis sans attrendre trop longtemps, on command nos plats, on a le temps pour parler un peu, on mange, et on revient à l'école sans être en retard. j'ai pas gouté tout sur la carte, mais chaque plat que j'ai eu étaient delicieux. read more

We arrived at the perfect time as there was no line. Can't say the same when we left as it became very crowded quickly. I thought the food was very good and the staff was great. Even the prices were reasonable for Paris. read more

Ordering ramen takes an incredibly long time. We waited almost an hour for two ramen dishes. All other food options come out very quickly, but if you order ramen be prepared to wait. read more

We went here for ramen, curry and gyoza when I began to miss Asian food (again) during our vacation. Overall, it was not bad. The gyoza was a bit chewy. I assume it was chewy because it had been pre-cooked and was sitting in a warmer, which would explain how it came out minutes after we ordered. There is no ambience. Think fast food. That said, the price of our meal was reasonable for Paris and I walked out full and satisfied. read more

I'm a sucker for ramen, and while traveling in Paris, I just needed a solid bowl. I've definitely had better, but if you need some, go here. The menu was incredibly extensive, so I'm sure you will find something to eat. read more

I'm from Washington DC, and have tried many other "not-in-Japan" Ramen restaurants. This was by far the best ramen I've had outside of Japan. Our server was very attentive, and the food was served very hot. Delicious! read more

We were in Paris and guess what. It was raining and we were craving for something soupy. An Onion Soup was not cutting it with the crappy weather and we were here on vacation. We didn't want French food or wine and cheese or any of that sort. We Yelp'd and found Kintaro. Very reasonable priced Ramen! Place was run by Japanese and the food was very good. The ramen was good and nothing to brag about but I personally thought the Chicken Curry and Rice was delicious. If you have a Ramen Crave in Paris then this is not a bad spot. It was walking distance from the W Opera in the heart of the city. Chow. read more

Excellent ramen!! My boyfriend and I visited for lunch during our trip and were initially shocked at the long line out the door but we were seated very quickly and thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered (edamame, gyoza, miso ramen, butter and corn ramen). Everything exceeded expectations! Would definitely recommend. read more

The place may not look like much but the food is of very good quality. Dessert: you must have the green tea ice cream + black sesame ice cream. One scoop of each. Top notch. Affordable. read more

Nice cheap Japanese restaurant. The food is simple and nice, and the staff very friendly. It tends to be full real fast at peak hours.

A low-priced Japanese restaurant that doesn't serve sushi/sashimi/maki. Go for the excellent yakiniku, yakisoba, ramen and udon instead. You won't regret, you'll be an instant regular. Packed by Japaneses. read more

This was pretty average. The ramen noodles were kind of overcooked and the soup was just average. Have had better in Paris

What a disappointment! They had extensive menu, but the quality just wasn't there. Tonkatsu was thin and fatty, the salad dressing was bland (just vinegary), the rice was of cheap quality, the pickles was tired, and the soup needed more miso. Katsudon was inedible - the sauce was too sugary. Ramen didn't look good, either. I can't see how it can survive in Paris. read more

Nice place, great food, friendly stuff. Everyone can find something, that he/she will like.

Good cheap place in town. Quite slow in term of ordering time. Food isnt too impressive

Ramen and udon were both good. No line at all, very friendly staff. They accept credit cards from 15€

I have been searching for an authentic Japanese food since I've been in Paris and can't stand the overwhelming number of "brochettes/ sushi" only restaurants. This place, however, is top! There was a line out the door as I passed this place, looking for a place to eat, and knew it would be good. The udon was delicious and flavorful, and the service was great! Prices were very reasonable, especially considering the area. Will definitely return. read more

Unexpectedly, it was good. Although I did not expect anything cool about Japanese restaurants in Paris, this shop was like real Japanese food which we are eating in our ordinary life of Japan. Most importantly, the price is reasonable.. I like! read more

This was probably the best meal we had in France. The ramen and the pork that came with it was amazing. My fiancé had the curry pork and he thought it was very delicious. You should try to go early and beat the lunch rush. It gets very packed in there. read more

Ramen too salty. One piece of pork meat. Ramen didn't have a lot of ingredients. Feel it only had noodles, cabbages and onions.

Just no. They simply need to work more on the soup base. It was just salty and not tasty at all. What makes worse was inattentive servers. Oh they don't accept credit card less than 15 euros. read more
