When two Korean friends suggested we dine at this family-run Korean restaurant, the oldest one in…read moreParis they boasted, I knew we were going to be in for some sizzling, spicy, sumptuous goodness. Even before the metal chopsticks hit my lips I was already smitten by the place. With its simple rectangular layout, wood-paneled walls, granny-like flourishes and large booths, it looked like its interiors hadn't been touched since its (likely) opening in the 70s. A quick tour through the reviews on Yelp and I was able to suggest a dish that our hosts had never had before: the deep fried, scallion-smothered chicken wings. If there is one thing that you need to order it is this, the house specialty. Order it as an appetizer with the calamari and cucumber salad before proceeding onto the bbq festivities.

Food was good. We had the house special #13 friend chicken and the noodle spicy soup #27. The…read morechicken was pretty much what we would call friend wings maybe in a light batter. The noodles were great just wish there was more broth. Overall good place for Korean food. Feel free to ask for an English menu if you do not know how to read the French one. Oh and the Korean beer was delicious. Almost felt like it had a honey finish to it! Yummy!

We weren't too impressed with this place when we came here but we came in the early evening because…read moreevery other restaurant was temporarily closed until 6 or 7 PM. However after trying the food, it's not bad. The kimchi bokkumbap didn't look too aesthetically pleasing and the rice was a little bland, but the flavors were definitely there. The dukboki itself isn't anything to brag about although the cheese they use is really good! Service is very fast. Portions are small and prices are a little on the higher end. Keep in mind I'm comparing to restaurants in Seoul and Los Angeles. In summary, if you want something quick or if you're looking for Korean food at a weird time, this place isn't too bad. However if you care a lot for the taste, try one of the other restaurants in the area if they're open. After leaving this place, I want to give it one more shot because we didn't try any of their Korean Chinese food which is what they pride themselves in.

Mink wanted Asian so we found a spot that was highly rated for Korean food and decided to check…read morethem out. The staff were Chinese speaking Mandarin but that didn't deter us as we were hungry. They also spoke fluent French. We arrived when they first opened and they were already fully booked! They asked in French if we had reservations but we didn't. Good thing Mink can recall some of the French she learned back in the day. The staff kindly got a table from outside to put inside to make room for us to dine in a warmer environment. It was by the entrance so it did have a draft but that didn't bother us too much. Points for customer service and accommodating us so we could dine there. They do offer outside dining but I would imagine that being more popular during warmer weather. Although, we noticed a couple parties did dine outside during our meal. After taking a look at the menu, we ordered the Grilled Cheese Corn (Mais Au Fromage Grille), Bibimbap with Beef and Mixed Vegetables (Boeuf Et Legumes Varies) and a Seafood Soup (Soupe Aux Fruits De Mer). The Grilled Cheese Corn came out first and after finishing more than half of it, the Bibimbap with Beef and Mixed Vegetables came out. It took some time but finally we got our Seafood Soup. Understandable as they were fully booked. Grilled Cheese Corn (Mais Au Fromage Grille) was about a 2 out of 5. The corn kernels were hot but only the top layer of cheese was melted. The rest was just room temperature grated cheese. We both thought that a little more seasoning or butter would have made the dish better. Bibimbap with Beef and Mixed Vegetables (Boeuf Et Legumes Varies) was about 4 out of 5. The beef was seasoned well and the portion was good. Oddly, they didn't give any Gochujang sauce to mix the rice, meat and vegetables. We found it good but lacking a little. Seafood Soup (Soupe Aux Fruits De Mer) was about a 4 out of 5. You can taste the seafood in the soup but it was a little sweet versus spicy. We did appreciate the amount of seafood and mushrooms in the soup though. This was a good experience having Korean in Pairs. We could appreciate how busy the restaurant is and commend them for striving to be the best at what they do. To be fully booked when you first open is amazing for their business and attest to their success in consistency of providing good food. Flavors were different from what we're accustomed to and think they are more catered to the local palate but it's still good. 3.5 stars

Came here for lunch with 2 friends. I ordered oysters for the table and the seared salmon on…read moresauerkraut for my main course. Both were really fresh, especially the oysters. The portion of the main course was pretty huge, so consider sharing if you are a small-eater. The salmon was seared to perfection and the sauerkraut...well was sure as sour as hell. In a way, the sourness of the sauerkraut kind of robs the fresh taste of the salmon. I always feel that a seafood dish should really showcase the freshness of the seafood, as opposed to making it too complex in taste (oh so philosophical) Ambiance was clinical, almost. It may be because it was not as packed as other tinier Parisian restaurants but ultimately, that was not a deal breaker for me. All in all, I enjoyed catching up with friends and would visit this place again. Also, bring a fatter wallet as food here tend to be on the spendy side.

If you are not familiar with Korean food I suggest doing a little research, I had no idea what anything was or what I was expected to do with what came out.

The food was just the right amount of spicy, and we loved every bite.

For 10 - 13 Euro, depending on your choice, you'll get a starter (perhaps salad and mandu or kimchi jeon), a main dish (dolsot bibimbap, kimchi jiggae, bossam) and a desert (fruit salad, hoddeok, ice cream).
