I went here on my last day in Paris cause I was craving Asian food. This area has a lot of choices. I made a reservation online which is a must because there was a long line. I had the original shoyu ramen and the chashu rice bowl for appetizer. All of it was delicious but I liked the chashu rice bowl better. They torched the pork so it had amazing flavor and it's Iberico pork (super nutty). The portions are also generous, you'll probably have leftovers. The only downside is it is a tiny place and we ate at the bar. It's tight so be prepared as you may be sitting on a stool. Service was good and fast.
So if you're craving bold, fish-forward ramen in a fun setting and don't mind queuing,Kodawari Ramen is a solid choice. I got there 10 min before opening and there was a line. So go either after the rush or before it opens.
Waited 2 hours and I still think it was worth it!! We arrived around 2pm and scanned the code to join the waitlist. I had a bit of an issue with it due to location settings but luckily it worked on my partner's phone. We just walked around for 2 hours and then came back. Warning - at the 1.5 hour mark, the app asks if you're still waiting and you have to accept within 10 mins or else they'll remove you! The restaurant itself is tiny so we're seated like sardines! Speaking of sardines, you must get the sardine-infused ramen. That one was our favorite. This place totally compares to the ramen spots in Japan or the best ones in the States. They do ask for a tip at the end which I think is odd.
Ironically, the best food I had on my trip to Paris was Kodawari Ramen (and honestly might be the best ramen I've had so far between the US and France). The french are gonna hate but just skip the croissants and french restaurants and just go here instead. I got the Niboshi Paitan, and everything was cooked perfectly. The broth was packed with flavor but maybe a bit too salty for my taste (my friend said the same for his as well). The food comes out pretty fast; the only bad thing is eating this in the peak of summer is rough because there is no AC inside but honestly so worth it. The waiters forgot our water and a dessert we ordered (forgot which one but it was in a cup and was absolutely mind blowing) but overall were friendly. Would 100% go back + wished I discovered this place earlier in my trip. Also the price was only $16 which is insane in this economy.
This is really your whole in the wall Japanese authentic Ramen place. A Michelin recommendation for 2024. They are know for their classic Shoyu Ramen with a heavy soy sauce. Lines are to get inside are long, often very long; so you better use the app to book. Agnes at the entry is a diplomatic and charming lady that controls and regulates the traffic finding harmony when chaos sometimes reigns. The staff is super "sympa"and helpful. You really have the impression to be back in Japan with a Japanese flea market decorated place. Absolutely charming. There is a lot to love at Kodawari Ramen!
While visiting Paris, we received a lot of recommendations to visit Kodawari Ramen. As expected, this small hole in the wall had a long line outside, however, they provide such quick and efficient service, that the time passes by quick. The seating style is very homey and comfy, expect to be seated next to total strangers who will simply share the same love for good ramen as you. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive and checked in on us to ensure everything was good. I made a few substitutions to my ramen, and they were accommodating to ensure I enjoyed my meal.
After a lot of walking at the Palace of Versailles, we decided to grab lunch on the way back to the hotel. It was raining and I remembered a friend recommending Kodawari Ramen (Yokocho). He said it's one of his favorite restaurants in Paris and they are in the 2024 Michelin Guide. This was the perfect answer to lunch! When we were on our way, I was a little worried about the wait because most reviews said the wait is insanely long but I was counting on it being a little less hectic with us going at an off hour. To our luck, when we arrived, only a few parties were waiting outside. We walked in and a staff member told us to go outside to scan the QR code on the window to enter the queue. It only took about 10 minutes before we were called in *mini happy dance* Definitely make reservations if you plan to go during the lunch or dinner rush. When you enter, you walk into a yokocho in Japan on the ground floor. They did a great job on creating the mood in the ambiance. Diners are cozy with each other but it's such a fun vibe. They also have an upstairs that offers a little more space. That room reminds you of old Japan with the decor. Their restrooms are also on the second floor. Just be careful going up and down the stairs as they are very narrow. Solid job by whoever designed the look for the place. Customer service is good and efficient. It's not as friendly as in Japan or Hawaii but they did a pretty good job. Side Note:Wasn't a huge fan that they ask for gratuity at the end of the meal. That was a first for us in Paris. They say it's optional but they are hovering over you and you feel pressured to tip. We looked at the menu and originally I was going to order their Kurogoma Ramen Chef ("our specialty") and Mink was going to order their Niboshi Paitan Ramen Chef ("our thicker soup"). The "Chef" for the Kurogoma Ramen is the addition of Tamago 48h and Spicy Sauce. Whereas the "Chef" for the Niboshi Paitan Ramen is the addition of Tamago 48h and Pata Negra Iberico Pork Chashu. I pointed out the Niboshi Paitan Ramen Chef had Ma-Yu burnt black oil. She quickly changed her mind and decided to go with the Kurogoma Ramen Chef so I let her order that and I got the Niboshi Paitan Ramen Chef so we could try both. Our consensus is that, for our tastes, the Kurogoma Ramen Chef was a lot better. I do regret not ordering it but we wouldn't have known without also trying their Niboshi Paitan Ramen Chef. We enjoyed our lunch very much and appreciate the recommendation by our friend. Michelin worthy ramen in Paris.
Very long wait, they use electronic wait lists now. It saves a lot of time. It's very worth it though! The ambiance is stellar! The loss of star was for the abhorrent bathroom situation. So so messy. It makes you wonder about the restaurant cleanliness. Food as always is wonderful, staff now speaks a little English which is GREAT in comparison to 2 years ago.
Excellent vegan ramen that we thoroughly enjoyed. The broth was very unique pumpkin soup based and we tried both the desserts which were very well balanced as well. It would be great if they added more broth/soup to the vegan ramen and add more vegan options to their menu. Service is very friendly, there is waiting as this place is very popular but the wait-list moves very fast so it's managed really well. Kudos to team on that The ambience is supposed to mimick a fish market and I found that quite fun too.
We were craving ramen while feeling under the weather, so we set out to find the best spot in Paris. Of course, a ramen spot featured in the Michelin guide piqued our interest. (It bears repeating, being included in the Michelin guide is NOT the same as being Michelin-starred. Very few restaurants in this price range would achieve a star, BUT being in the guide is a huge honor nonetheless). We came expecting great ramen, but they shot straight past even that high bar. The broth of the Niboshi Paitan had unreal umami, and was rich and delicious in a way I haven't tasted outside Japan. There just aren't words! I wished I had more room for more add-ons, but the roasted tomato added a nice brightness. Now to the negatives: yes, it's crowded. It's a testament to its quality, in a way - would you trust a dead restaurant? We were able to snag a table with a 20 minute wait in the off hours, around 4 PM. Downloading the Skeepit app prior to arriving would have shaved that down even more. Service can be a little harried due to the crowds, but it's par for the course for Paris. The decor is amazingly detailed, down to a soundtrack of alley noises that plays on repeat. That being said, the dedication to alley clutter combined with the crowds means that you will be eating while shoulder to shoulder with strangers. Overall, it's telling of how much we enjoyed our ramen that we ended up trying the other Kodawari location the next day.
Coolest ramen shop I've ever been to. They were even playing ambiance sounds like made you feel like you were in Japan. & thankfully their ramen tasted amazing too. You do have to pay extra for the typical toppings (egg, corn, etc). Service was friendly and fast.
After being midway through a trip in Europe, I really needed my Asian fix so decided to get some ramen in Paris! I got a Japanese mojito (which was quite good even though I typically don't like mojito) and the Niboshi paitan ramen (a really thick chicken ramen). The place is very small so there might be a wait so I would recommend to come at off hours. You might also get seated by the counter to see how they make the ramen, which I did not complain. Would definitely come back again!
My girlfriend and I tried both kodawari ramen. This one specializes in meat ramen. I personally thought these were more flavorful. My girlfriend thought the seafood one had better flavoring. Admittedly the ingredients were very fresh there but I think the broth and noodles were more authentic at this location. The seafood themed one also has an extremely fishy smell. Very important to note they use this app called skeepit that has a radius of 3 miles. If you are able to download it early and get into the virtual que it'll save you a lot of time and headache. The wait is also pretty long (in the hours duration). Ramen is pretty authentic especially for France. It's on par with a relatively decent ramen in Japan I think. Worth the visit if you're looking for Michelin places in France. Highly recommend you doing the chef recommendations for the ramen.
Ordered: Shio Paitan Ramen Chef Style (~€20): thicker broth made from Chicken from Luteau farm, Shio Tare, Blend of French salt, Shellfish Dashi, Slow roasted Chicken chashu marinated in Sansho, Grated Boutargue, Lemon slices and Leek oil; chef style comes with 48hr marinated tamago, 2 chicken chashu slices Shio Ramen Chef Style (~€20): clear broth made from Chicken from Luteau farm, Shio Tare, blend of French salt, Shellfish Dashi, Slow roasted Chicken chashu marinated in Sansho, Chicken oil, Grated Boutargue, Roasted Tomato; chef style comes with 48hr marinated tamago, chicken chashu marinated in sancho, and menma Aya's take: Kodawari Ramen is on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list and the Yokochō location in particular is designed to look like a Tokyo alleyway, with vibrant colors and lanterns. 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! read more
Bit of a crazy looking concept at first where you're transported to tsukiji market in Tokyo down to the all the ambient sound of hawkers. I ordered the ebi shrimp to start over rice. Was very nice and delicate sweet shrimp flavor with mini cooked shrimp as well with a nice pepper bite. Then came the ramen . I was so surprised how rich and satisfying this bowl was. Bouncy noodles complimented deep umami broth topped with the sardine and slice of pork chashu. It was so good I had to pace myself not to inhale it . Definitely one of the most memorable bites in Paris ! read more

Honestly.... the ramen was just ok. The experience was very cool because you get to see the noodles being made at the bar, and the interior is very hip. However the ramen was just too salty for my liking, and I feel like I've had better in other major european cities like Lisbon or Amsterdam. Service was prompt and friendly! read more

I have a hate and love feelings toward this place. I hate that the wait is long and the space is tiny but I love the ramen. I came here on a Sunday evening with a party of 2. We got on the waitlist around 6pm and the wait time was 25 - 56min for being number 18 on the waitlist. The wait ended up being 2 hours because the wait time kept pushing back. If you could get a hold of the wait list QR code beforehand then I highly recommend that you put your name on the wait list before getting here. The ramen was the best I've had! The broth was very umami and toppings were delicious. The pork chashu and chicken was tender and flavorful, and the egg was perfectly cooked. The noodles were al dente and hold the broth really well. We tried the shoyu ramen and the kurugoma ramen, both with chef recommended toppings. The shoyu ramen was the best of best shoyu ramen I've had. I highly recommend it! Try kurugoma ramen if you want something special. The sesame broth was very aromatic and umami. The restaurant has very cool aesthetic and it reminded me a lot of Japan. We set near the door and we were squished by the people around us. Since it was winter when we visited, everyone had their big coats so there was not much room around. In terms of ramen, I will give this place 5/5. It was the best ramen I've had but I am not sure if any ramen will be worth 2 hours wait out in the cold and dark street. The tables and chairs were tiny so it was hard to eat as well. read more
Super busy and small ramen restaurant. Their attraction is that it looks like a Japanese fish market which is cute. The ramen is different from what I've had before as it is fish based broth vs pork. I had the traditional with chef add on. We shared gyoza, edamame and cucumber apps. Seating is tight and uncomfortable- reason for four stars. Worth a try for sure! read more

They had good service, were very helpful with ordering, and the waiters were attentive. They were also super accommodating of our party size (of 10) and sat us down within 15 minutes. Th interior was very cool, with lots of unique decoration and it felt like I was transported into a Japanese-style home. When we ordered our ramen, we got the Kurugoma and Shoyu ramen, and it took a bit longer than expected to come out, but once again, there were ten of us. The Shoyu was a hearty ramen and was very rich. The broth was good and the noodles were also a very good quality. I kind of wish it came with a little bit more of the pork chashu, but it was good. The Kurugoma was very rich as well, but too rich for my liking. It was a mix of garlic and ginger but I felt as if I was only tasting the garlic and none of the ginger. The spicy sauce I ordered with it tasted more Szechuan style than Japanese, but it was good. The flavors just clashed a bit and it tasted very heavy and I didn't care for it much. read more
This is our first stop in Paris!!! I've read good reviews and it didn't disappoint. Place is small but you Will get the "Asian feel". Fast service. Good food. Stairs going to the bathroom is very steep. Glad to be able to try this place. read more

Being that this restaurant has a Michelin star I don't think there's that needs to be said from me lol. But I had a great experience here from beginning to end. I came on a weekday night and although the wait was around two hours -- since I was alone I was seated immediately which I loved. It's a very cramped space but authentic in that way as it mirrors the style of many Ramen restaurants in Japan. I got the black garlic Ramen and I could not believe how good it was like literally some of the best Ramen I've ever had in my life outside of Japan. The staff was very accommodating and there was a ton of stuff to look at so that I didn't need to be on my phone the whole time I ate. Definitely coming back here next time I'm in Paris. read more
Arrived Paris on Christmas Day and most of the places are closed. I planned to come try this Ramen place as it's in my neighborhood. It's absolutely delicious. The broth temperature is hot enough and the noodle hardness is perfect. Because it is made out of the Chicken broth and instead of the Pork broth, it gives me an unique taste to it without any greasy feel. Loved their Eggs ! I'm very picky and ate many Ramen in Asia and U.S., I would say this is definitely something I haven't tasted of before. I give it a 5 Star review. read more
Get here early! There's a long queue especially on the weekend during the dinner rush for this popular Japanese spot that transports you to a dark street filled with izakayas, lanterns, and architecture. The food is wonderful and the yuzu mojito is not to be missed! The desserts were interesting - black sesame one was nutty and crunchy with speculoos/cookie dough bits. Cold ramen was a must after walking around for the majority of the day in the waning summer months. read more
Michelin star restaurant so we wanted to try the ramen here, not sure how it received its Michelin star to be quite honest... the atmosphere was beautiful it was very well done and every little detail was perfect. It was like being transported into Tokyo. They don't take reservations either but the wait was very quick as well, you add your name into a queue and they would call you in when it's your turn. The ramen, was probably the most average ramen I've ever had in my life. I ordered the Shio ramen and it literally tasted like chicken noodle soup, my boyfriend ordered their signature ramen and although it wasn't my taste I can understand why people would like it. It was very Smokey and different. Overall though, I have had a lot more bowls of ramen deserving of this Michelin star. It's honestly nothing special. read more

I have had many ramen in my eating career and I have had great bowls of ramen. The ramen at Kodawari is fine; they are not the best I've had but they aren't bad. I ordered some add-ons such as egg, menma, and nori. They messed up my egg (see picture). The best part about these seasoned eggs are their yolks yet my egg was broken (not cut) and the yolk melted in the broth. Menma was pretty good despite slightly salty. I also ordered green tea and was hoping for some real green tea but ended up with green tea in a bottle. Gross! We were seated at the counter where I got to see a lot of actions from the kitchen staff. It was an interesting experience. They also asked for tips when it's time to pay. Tipping isn't a thing in Paris because staff are paid living wages. So, when they asked customers for tips, it seemed a bit crass. Oh well. read more
Long lines but worth it for some quality ramen in Paris. Not much more to say than the ramen is legit. Service is fast, I wouldn't say super bubbly friendly but I like a straight forward to the point no frills vibe when it comes to this type of dining. read more
Small seating area in front of restaurant but Try to get seated in the group setting way in the back they also have ac, which is especially appreciated in 87° weather -we definitely needed it! Who eats hot Ramen an 87° weather? Me! One of the best Ramen I've had in a long time too bad I had to go to Paris to Enjoy it! read more

So I heard many Japanese expats in Europe visit Paris on weekend to eat Japanese food, I looked up online for best ramen in Paris and this place came up on my search. Be prepared to queue up to get in. I think I waited for about one hour. I really debated if I should stay to eat or try something else. Arrive early before you get hungry. I loved the decor inside. It's very small but I felt like I was visiting Izakaya in Tokyo. I recommend coming here with a small group as space inside is pretty tight. I was able to go ahead of a couple of large group as I was by myself. Who knew grilled tomato goes really well with black tonkotsu broth. Acidity from tomato nicely complimented the soup, although tomato is not a traditional ramen ingredients in Japan but I hope Japan reimport this concept. Staff spoke some English but mostly we communicated with gestures and my attempted French. They understood and I got what I wanted. Noodle had good texture, fast service once you get seated. I enjoyed my dinner here. read more

Really tasty ramen in Paris! The restaurant is pretty small and narrow, so there isn't much seating meaning meaning that there will definitely be a wait. I went on a weekend dinner with a party of 4, so I had to wait around 2 hours. When you go, you need go download an app to put yourself on the waitlist, but there is plenty of Paris to explore nearby to pass the time. Once seated, I ended up getting the shoyu ramen which was chicken based. The chicken was super flavorful and the broth was light and not too salty! read more

Interesting set up but absolutely amazing food , I got the regular Kodawari ramen with an extra egg and edamame, with the plum wine to compliment the whole thing. I was so full I couldn't breathe walking back to my hotel, all in all 10/10 experience. read more
