We probably checked five other Korean restaurants before settling on Jantchi. The restaurant quickly became busy during lunch. However, service was quick and I got my much needed soft tofu soup (soondubu) with the accompanying side dishes in a timely manner. I ordered the lunch soondubu, which was as expected, a bit watered down, but still hit the spot with the sesame oil flavor I was craving for. The egg is already cracked into the soup, which is not as hot as I'm used to. My boyfriend ordered the bibimbap, which came out in the stone pot and was pretty tasty ! We doubled down on the gochujang, and it was enough to keep our Korean cravings at bay for the remaining trip.

The banchan was pretty unique in that it had eggplant which I've never seen at more Korean places (and it sure beats having anchovies).

The bulgogi unfortunately seemed like it incorporated a bit too much soy sauce. The Banchan was flavorful and diverse. Service was very attentive and overall it's clear this is a local favorite. It was definitely fun to try Korean food in Paris and worth a look if you're craving something different.

For food we ordered the wings, the dumpling ramen, and the beef & rice. The wings were by far the best part of the meal, they were small but mighty, especially since they're boneless. LOVED them. The beef & rice was ok, but nothing amazing. The spicy sauce was really good. The ramen wasn't the best, and had a pretty strong seafood taste, even thought it had no seafood in it. The noodles were not great, but the dumplings made up for that, though I wish there were more than two in it. Overall a really nice Korean option if you're looking for something other than French food in Paris!

We were so happy to find this restaurant at first. But on our second visit, they put us in the upstairs area KNOWING it would close within 30 mins. We thought the restaurant was closing in 30 so we ate super fast. Despite doing so, they rushed us twice. After going downstairs we saw many customers still downstairs and was told that only upstairs was closing. WHY DID YOU PUT US UPSTAIRS THEN? We complained to the server and owner, both of them just shrugged. We are Asians - my husband is Korea actually. This is so embarrassing when our own kind in a foreign country treats people this way. I do not recommend coming here until their attitude improves.

The restaurant was quite busy, and there is seating on two floors. We sat on the ground level, cooled off with some Cass beers, and ordered away. Definitely get the spicy squid - it was very flavorful, spicy without kicking your butt, and oh so tender. Skip the Korean fried chicken, which had an odd texture. While we didn't have the largest assortment of banchan, they were all quite good. The haricot vert was a little odd, as I have never had that in Korea, but I guess it makes perfect sense in Paris :). Prices are very reasonable, and service was fast. Definitely a nice spot for Korea food in a convenient location.

It is a Korean restaurant that specializes in stone rice bowls mixed with vegetables and your choice of meat. It is topped with a sunny side up egg. Add a bit of spicy sweet sauce and magic happens. The food stays warm because of the stone pot. The rice on the bottom becomes crispy due to the hot stone pot, so it becomes a crispy dessert at the end of your meal. Don't miss out on this hidden treasure when you are near the Louvre in Paris.

Unfortunately, they don't offer hot stone bowls, so the rice was not crispy. I hope they add this option to their menu because I would pay extra for it. I got their lunch set and it was totally worth it for less than 13€ (the price depends on which entree you pick). The vegetable fried dumplings were small but delicious. I was so full at the end and couldn't even finish. The only thing I wish they did was to not "dilute" the spiciness, but this is my second time eating Korean food in Paris and we noticed in general the spicy level is much more mild here than in Korea or the States. My friend ordered tteok-bokki and it came out more orange than red. I also used a lot of the sauce for my bibimbap, but still couldn't taste any spicy.

I don't know why this place has such high ratings because the food isn't very good. Seating wise,…read morethe place looks small but they have an upstairs seating section with their own waiter who speaks English and French. We ordered the fried chicken which was delicious but the meat could have been better quality. For the meal, I ordered the kimchi stew which was way way way too sweet and my boyfriend got the dolsot Bobimbap and he found it very plain. Our meals each came with three side dishes and a starter of choice. We both got the ravioli and it was super dry, like they just reheated it. The food came out crazy fast so this really is questionable. The check came out to be 32€ so the prices are low but there isn't much to write about in terms of taste. Bathrooms are located downstairs. I'll probably come try the rice cakes with ramen but I wouldn't come back for anything else.

This was a fairly decent Korean meal in Paris…read more Reservations can be made on their website if you have basic French language skills. This is highly recommended as it's a small place, and they accepted very few diners without reservations on the night we visited. The interior is quite simple, but the staff were very friendly and spoke pretty good English. There is a tiny restroom upstairs. We each had the "opera" set menu which included fried dumplings, soup, and a choice of entrees. Everything was quite decent. The dumplings were hot and crispy with tasty filling but seemed like they were store bought and not made in house. The soup was decent but a bit bland. I had the bulgogi for my entree which was grilled at the table. It was also decent but not particularly flavorful. It was tender though. Overall a perfectly decent meal for your Korean fix in Paris.

I tried a typical Korean white wine (7€ for a glass). It was made from plum, so it's very fruity and sweet. I ordered chicken wings for an entrée and Uke Bibimbap for my main plate. The chicken wings were freshly fried and placed in a sweet sauce with some vegetables. It wasn't spicy at all. I wish the chicken would've been fried crispy tho, the textures would've been better. Compared to bibimbap, Uke bibimbap is placed on a hot plate with the beef still raw on top. The heat from the plate will cook it as you mix all the ingredients together. I added some soy sauce and gochujang to increase the flavors and must I say, this dish fulfilled my Korean food cravings. I loveeeeeeed it so much! Will definitely dream of eating this dish again.

Since I've had plenty of Korean food back in the States (especially K-Town), I wanted to see just how legitimate Korean food in Paris would be. I arrived before it opened for dinner, and there was already a small line outside: I was able to get a seat inside, but within 15-20 minutes, the restaurant was entirely packed! Goes to show that it's popular and that both locals and tourists love this spot. Opted for the classic bibimbap, which came with a good portion of banchan. The bibimbap was pretty good, served piping hot and with plenty of ingredients (carrots, cucumbers, beef, rice) inside. I would say that it tasted just like what I would get back in K-Town (aka standard), which is excellent while abroad. Perhaps it was because I came for dinner, but it was notably pricey (17 euros) compared with what I would pay for otherwise. However, the quality is pretty good, and I left full and content afterwards. Worth a try!
