We needed a change of pace from French food and found out about this charming little Korean restaurant. It was a beautiful evening and we were able to score a nice table outdoors. All of the staff spoke English. We live in Manhattan and go to K-town often. This restaurant would hold its own there. We started off with excellent mandu and a surprisingly good tofu dish. We shared excellent bulgogi and bibimbop in a stone pot. We also ordered a side of very good kimchi. To my surprise, they served a mean affogato for dessert. The portions were sufficient and the prices were very reasonable. The only thong that was different from our other experiences with Korean food is that banchan were not included. Not a big deal. If you need a French food alternative, Mee is a great choice. read more

If there is one word, that would describe Mee, it would be "meh". It's not pre-se a place with bad food but also nothing to write home about. There is many other Korean places in Paris to check out before I'd return to meh ... excuse me, I meant Mee. read more

My husband and I were looking for some comfort food after a rainy morning at the Louvre and found this spot just 10 mins walking distance away. It was busy, so you know it's going to be good. The waitresses were so sweet and attentive (not something we've really experienced in Paris). We ordered the scallion pancake and Korean fried chicken to start. Both were really good. The portion size is smaller than what we're used to in the US (but then again everything is supersized in the US). I REALLY enjoyed my kimchi jiggae. It was so comforting in the cold weather. We were stuffed by the time we finished. We have some pretty good Korean food in LA and I would put this up there with them. I 100% recommend coming here if you are in the area. read more

If you are interested in Korean food, just skip the rest of this review and head straight to Mee. You will not be disappointed. In this restaurant you will find plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It carries a modern industrial decor. The service was great, which surprised me because I only saw 3 people serving the entire restaurant. Now, for the food. Here's the deal, I've been to Korea many times and have run the gamut on food. So, I have an idea of what one might expect from authentic Korean food. At Mee, I felt like I was invited into the chef's house and was treated to a very home style Korean meal. I mean, it seemed to me that a lot of love has gone into their food. Beyond that though, they scale it up with a very fine presentation. The menu is two pages, one of starters and one of mains. We had three starters - dumplings, Korean fried chicken, and the tartare. We also had three mains - Korean bbq, beef and vermicelli noodles, and the kimchi and pork stew. I am not going to break it down because each one was spectacular. The flavors were unreal - just the right amount of spice, zest, sweetness or sour. The cook on the meats was perfect - each one melted in the mouth. It was as it should be. The prices were below what I believe they could ask. This was a true bargain. One of the best meals I had in Paris but at a fraction of the cost. Like I said, if you like Asian food then look no further. You would be foolish not to try this one! read more

We really enjoyed our food and service. We entered the restaurant and was pleasantly greeted by the hostess who was very welcoming and friendly. The waitress were also very attentive and were consistent in bring water. The food was flavorful and just perfect. We highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Mee - Korean Near Me - Paris, 75

This little place is full of flavors. I have pretty high standards when it comes to Korean foods (Korean living in Los Angeles), but this little gem in the heart of Paris surpassed my expectations. I visited Mee during my trip to Europe in February 2020 and cannot wait for the pandemic to be over so I can go back. read more

This small intimate Korean café is a Michelin Restaurant 2018 for a reason. The food rocks, the atmosphere is chill, and the prices, especially for Paris, are hugely fair. The food was excellent! I would highly recommend the bimibap bowl. I had the bulgolgi. Very tasty, but a little more boiled than the variation that is served in the US. The fried chicken balls were off the hook. I would come back and try several other options on the menu if I lived here. The decor that greets you is more modern chic than Korean traditional: The walls are ancient brick and bits of plaster from past inhabitants of the space. The lighting is that hipster industrial. The floors, the warm wood tables and some of the simple furnishings soften the place. Beer, wine, sake. They have Hite, the Korean beer, so that was perfect. Service was mostly very good. A lot of Americans like this place. Most of the staff was very friendly, but the waitress who seated and served us clearly knew that we don't speak French, and dropped French menus on us. We thought that was all that they had. The nicer waitress, watching us struggle with our Google Translators was kind enough to offer English menus. I have no problem trying to operate in their language but, if the House is kind enough to try and make me feel more comfortable, the waitress sticking it to me out of some sense of cultural pride doesn't sit well. Go! They're open for lunch on Sunday even though it shows closed. We were supposed to go to a nearby Japanese place that's also supposed to be epic, but there was a 40+ minute line. read more

We made same day online reservations for 1900 tonight, 23 Nov. 2022. We arrived at 1855, 5 min. before opening. When we entered, the non-Korean male host said, "Sorry, we're closed; we don't open until 7" and ushered us out, locking the door behind us. My wife and I looked at each other and with our eyes said let's go to another restaurant. I guess they didn't want our business. Ciao. We cancelled our online reservation and walked across the street to an Italian restaurant, Pendino (recommended!). read more

I wasn't expecting too much of Korean food in Paris, but after eating baguettes/croissants/mediocre french food, the cravings of home kicked in. We were debating between the Japanese place next door and this place but I refused to walk another step since it was past 9 pm and I was starving. Even at 9 pm the restaurant was packed. I want to say it was mostly french patrons and few Korean tourists. We got the vegetable tempura, bibimbap and bulgogi. The prices are almost double than what we pay back in Atlanta, portions are half the size, and it definitely lacks flavor. On top of that service is very slow and unfriendly. Totally regret coming here and wish I just walked a few more steps to eat some ramen next door. read more

Ome of the best korean we've had while our stay in Paris. Their menu is limited in terms of variety but each dishes are amazing. We ordered their dolsot bibimbap and the stone bowl came sizzling hot. We also love that they take reservations since most korean restaurants in Pyramides dont take any reservations. The service was great and everything was amazing read more

We didnt want to wait in line next door and unexpectedly came here and was seated right away. Being Korean-American, we appreciate the korean-french taste which is subtle but definitely Korean authentic! We licked all the bowls clean: bibimbop, squid ohjingo dopbop, tofu kimchi soup (soondubu jigae), pajeon, kimchi mandu. read more

We asked the waitress for hot water and the owner stopped me on my way to the restroom informing that they'll need to charge us. I have never seen a restaurant who charges for hot water but we agreed to pay it anyways. After waiting for what seemed like a long time, we decided to leave so we could make to an appointment. We saw the owner sneering at us to our waitress, saying "So I guess they were offended." I feel like we were nothing but kind to them but the owner was unreasonably unfriendly and impolite. read more

We came in without a reservation on a weekday and were sat without a problem. Despite the fact that we were friendly, quick-to-order and polite, our server was unbelievably cranky. She was pissy about taking our order in a noisy restaurant, as if this was my fault. I guess good help is hard to find... The other staff members were very welcoming and friendly. The rice bowls arrive very hot and your food cooks in front of you. Truly a fantastic meal! read more

Mee - Rice bowl - Korean Near Me - Paris, 75

This place caught me by surprise! Pros: -good food for good prices -original desserts -really good chicken on appetizer (fried chicken) -gorgeous interior Cons: -awful service -poorly staffed -door doesn't close properly so if you're sitting by the door, you're going to be really cold -the plates and China they use are all chipped. Kind of offsetting. My boyfriend and I came here by mistake. Sanukiya was randomly closed on a Saturday night so we decided to give this place a try. I research the hell out of my food but I didn't know about this place so my expectations were low. We came around 8 pm and were seated immediately. The place wasn't that busy so again, I had low expectations. The interior of this place is stunning! Reminds me of hip traditional Korean restaurants in Seoul. I found the aesthetics of the place very pleasing. We were given paper menus that didn't quite go with the place. To start, we ordered the kimchi pan fried dumplings (5€) and fried chicken (8€). For our entrees we ordered jap chae and dolsot bi bim bap. All entrees are 14€, some at the bottom were an additional 2 to 4€. Our appetizers came out quickly. There were four pan fried dumplings and they came with a light soy sauce vinegar sauce in a bird ceramic. It was good but I want more than four. The chicken was really good. They were seasoned lightly with a soy sauce chili sauce with green onion. They were cooked to perfection and bite size (no bones!). Our entrees were good and plating was gorgeous. Jap chae was a little too salty and bland but it fits the French palette. The dolsot bi bim bap was amazing!! The stone pot came really hot (rare in France) so it was sizzling left and right. Meat came out raw but cooked quickly. The veggies were seasoned great and rice got crispy at the bottom. It came with a bottle of hot sauce and soy sauce. Soy sauce for the French people lol. The chili hot sauce paste was really good! Somewhat sweet so it was truly Korean. We ordered three desserts for 5€ each: coffee with two suk infused Madeleine's, Omija with vanilla ice cream, and red bean with vanilla ice cream. The Madeleine's were nothing special. The Omija was really strong and came with chunky ice. More vanilla ice cream would be nice. The red bean dessert was delicious but too small! There was chunky and thick red bean with a small scoop of vanilla and dusted with a bean powder (mistook). Amazing. The only problem was that it was impossible to get the attention of our waitress. One of them was really snotty and would ignore is even when my French boyfriend said really clearly, "excuse moi." The broken plates too were really bothersome. Our whole meal came out to 56€ which is really good! I would definitely come back here. Yum. read more

Great little Korean restaurant just a short walk from the Louvre. We came here on a Monday eve & were seated quickly. The menu is entirely in French, as it should be. If you're not familiar with either Korean cuisine or the French language, do as I say and you'll be fine. We each had a starter. My wife had the kimchi dumplings. Delicious. Dissatisfied because only 4 come in an order (american gluttony is a terrible thing). I had the fried chicken bites (naturally), which I easily spotted on the menu (poule is one of three French words I know, along with porc and frommage). Very tasty. Also, very hot; pace yourself when biting. On to the main dishes. My wife had the bibimbap with an egg on top. It is served in a sizzling bowl, so the meat & egg cooked while the rice gained a slight crispiness to it. Yum. She really loved it. I had the (I hope I'm spelling this correctly) Jumolok. It's a spicy pork dish and it's fantastic. We also split some bulgogi. It was average; adding soy sauce improved it somewhat, but I'll pass on this next time. We'll definitely be back here. read more

As we walked in the door, we weren't greeted though the maître d' noticed us. After she handled few customers then she asked for number of our party. Then we waited. Tables were available, but we watch as others walk in past us (with reservations, I believe). After some time, we were finally seated and had to wait to order. We ordered: (sweet pumpkin soup) = good (vegetable tempura) = good (seasoned and heated tofu) = good (kimchi fried rice) = edible but too oily (grilled mackerel) = fishy. Sent back after a small taste (bulgogi) = decent but light on seasoning When I sent the mackerel back, the owner asked with some agitation (understandably so) why I ordered the fish if I can't stand the fishiness. My only reply is that I like mackerel but without the fishiness. He stated we still had to pay for the dish (we didn't even think of not paying for it). To his credit he provided us with a free serving of kimchi. I am guessing the food at this place has become localized and is no longer truly authentic Korean. The level of service is definitely not Korean (Korean service well renowned). read more

Food...absolutely delicious, service superb! We've eaten twice at Mee Bistro and cannot be more grateful! The wait staff and owner are wonderful. Kind and polite. We cannot wait to return to Paris to visit this fabulous restaurant again! Thank you from NC. read more

This is a nice, cozy restaurant at the heart of Paris. The food is great but it won't be the best Korean food you have had. The service is also good. The seating would be considered very tight by American standards and normal for most places in Paris. read more

Really good Korean food just a couple of blocks away from the Louvre. We tried the fried chicken and garlic/scallion/zucchini pancake appetizer and the beef bulgogi and pork main courses. All four were excellent, but the pork was the best of the bunch. Has that addictive je ne sais quoi. Also, they do have English menus FWIW. read more

First thing I noticed was a cozy and beautiful interior. The food was tasty -- we ordered the kimchi bokkeumbap (kimchi fried rice) and jeyuk bokkeum (spicy pork). The atmosphere was delightful and while the prices were a bit expensive compared to what we are used to paying back in the states, this was a good respite from carb-heavy meals. read more

Mee - Korean Near Me - Paris, 75

It was within walking distance to the Louvre and we were craving something Asian. It has a nice hip ambiance compare to most Asian restaurants. We were hoping for banchans but were disappointed nothing was offered. The dol sot bibimbop was okay but it skimped on meat and other toppings. The bulgolgi beef also lacked the punch we always seek and expect from our usual SF Bay Area standard. Perhaps the restaurant has to tone down the flavors to fit the clienteles. read more

It's really cute inside but I hate having to sit next to people I don't know. It would be ok if we were not that close... You don't have much space nor privacy. The food was good! Staff is not too friendly ... but ok. read more

We wandered into this restaurant for lunch before a scheduled tour. It was already quite busy and they asked if we had a reservation. Although we didn't, they still were able to seat us at a 4-seater, and just noted that we might have to share a table with others. Just after we received our appetizers, a gentleman by himself was sat next to us at our table, which was perfectly fine. We did note throughout our meal that others who didn't have a reservation were turned away. We must have gotten in just in time and would strongly recommend reservations to any and all restaurants you might be interested in to secure your spot. We each got the lunch special which included an appetizer and entree. The fried mandu (dumplings) and fried chicken nuggets were both extremely delicious. Our entrees were japchae (glass noodles) and bulgogi (beef). Both tasted fresh and were tasty, but their flavors were a little muted compared to vibrant Korean flavors. The dish names were all in Korean, and the menu descriptions were all in French, but one of the servers was kind enough to walk us through the menu. Overall, a great spot if you're in the area! read more

Amazing Korean food you can find in Paris. Hidden jem. Stylish decor blended with Korean and French culture.

We happened upon this restaurant when leaving another. The place was packed so we decided to try it the follwing night. Tables were interesting. We were seated in a picnic type table with another couple at the far end. Since it wasn't busy yet, their was noone sitting between us. The first waitress didn't speak English so she sent another waitress to serve us. We ordered Jap chae, Bulgogi and Bibimbap, all very good. I guess they don't believe in sharing bc we had to ask for 2 bowls since we were sharing 3 entrees. read more
