    Korean chicken wings as appetizer

    2 level Korean restaurant located in a busy area. Clean and modern restaurant. Food is on point, we ordered the appetizer and entree for $17 euro and the bulgogi separately which they cooked in the back for us. They also provided the side dishes with our meal and refilled anything we finished complimentary.

    My friend and I were pretty sick of French food after the first couple days in Paris so we found this Korean restaurant to go to. Initially, we weren't expecting much, but it was surprisingly pretty good, and I would say even better than some spots in LA's Ktown. We ordered the bossam and soondubu and both were really good! We almost wanted to come back here again but didn't have time. Definitely recommended if you're in Paris and craving Korean food!

    Yum yum!

    One of the best if not the best korean in Paris. Has 30 seats on the first floor but there's a second so I dunno. The menu is awesome!! It took us 10 minutes at least to choose : beef, beef ribs, chicken BBQs, one bimbimbap (for me (^-^)/). Everything for 80 euros. No rush since we stayed talking for a couple of hours (long time no see hehe). Staff is kind and very helping but i'm not sure they speak english though.

    Delicious pork bbq with banchan and rice.

    Really reasonable price; quality food. Especially like the japchae, the flavor may be even better than ones I had in Korea! Five stars.

    Pierre Sang was pretty good. This was the first time I've done a "blind tasting" where they…read moreencourage you to guess the ingredients used. I liked this and I had fun puzzling it out with my friends. We did not do a very good job! It was hard to guess the ingredients and I think they purposefully try to fool you a little. I have photos of each course but I don't remember all the details. We had 6 courses. There was a small starter of a bao bun; mine was markedly less filled than the others on the table, so the proportions were off and I felt shortchanged. Then we had a fish course, a course with savory ice cream and some bread (like cornbread), a mushroom "pate" course, a cheese course (one big slice of cheese), and dessert (ice cream and apricots?). I felt like everything (taste, texture, ingredient quality and variety) were good but not great, especially since they are making things easier on themselves by doing fixed menus. Staff tried to explain what all the dishes and ingredients were, and they did good but not great job. They spoke English but didn't always know the English words for specific ingredients. The ambiance was fine. We were at a long, narrow communal table on the first floor just next to the kitchen and the door. It was a little cold from people coming in and out and a little busy with all the staff moving around. It wasn't the most refined or relaxing atmosphere.

    We had an amazing experience at Pierre Sang, unlike any dining experience we have ever had. We went…read morefor my husband's 50th birthday and it was such a treat. Everything was innovative and delicious (I'm sure the menu changes regularly). They accommodated my gluten allergy and I had the best gluten free bread that I've ever had (made fresh just for me!). We had an outstanding server who taught us a ton about interesting wines as we opted for the wine pairing too. I read some reviews about price point, but it was much cheaper than Prix Fixe in SF, Chicago and NYC where we dine regularly and the portions were big. The vibe was cozy and we enjoyed walking around the neighborhood before hand.
