Cozy commodious ~ modest modern decor with a newness & clean comfort. The soft gold metal dinnerware that gave the ambience an added touch. Corean craft ~ hard to find biere from the motherland not usually found in other Korean restaurants. Both are tasty pairings with everything. #5. Kimchi stir-fried pork with sautéed kimchi & fresh tofu was yummy ~ spiced just right, subtle amount of pork to give the kimchee delish flavor. #24 DOENJANC JICAE ~ light, not overly fermented or salted, came out piping hot perfect. #14 Marinated Beef Rib ~ tender cut pre lengthened with bone on end. Faint marinaded quality meat. Tasty. Banchan ~ fresh assortment and more than happy to refill any favorites. New grilling tables had excellent smoke removal technology without the loud vacuuming noise. Touch tap easy to adjust the temperature to your liking. Too full for dessert from the scrumptious dinner, the complimentary Gilbert chew was just right. We appreciated the monsieur asking if we are enjoying ourselves throughout the dinner & acknowledged us leaving with a spirited thank you and to please come back again. Nothing but pleased satisfaction from Misa! Highly recommend.

I had a chance to dine at 5 different Korean restaurants during my visit to Paris in early…read moreDecember. Soon Grill Champs-Élysées was a lunch stop on day 2, dining with my nephew who had been doing a semester abroad. Calling it a Korean bbq restaurant does Soon an injustice. It is a fine dining establishment with very competitive prices, and a pretty complex variety of dishes, giving good examples of how far Korean cuisine can go. "The Korean government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (MAFRA), designated "Excellent Overseas Korean Restaurants" to promote high-quality hansik (Korean food) globally." There are seven now, with 3 in Singapore, 3 in Los Angeles, and only one in Europe: Soon Grill Champs-Elysees. This is the second branch of Soon Grill, which opened its first Korean BBQ in le Marais 10 years before. And of the five restaurants I visited, Soon was at the top. Like most Paris restaurants serving lunch, it opened at noon. We got there early, sitting in a nice outdoor waiting area. They invited us in (without a reservation ) around 11:50, which doesn't always happen. The lunch was everything that our dinner the previous night had not been: elegant atmosphere, great tableside service, and an incredible attention to detail (the dishes were prepared with a lot of individual effort). We were seated separate from a sole diner (but in a communal table). A self-service water carafe was immediately brought over and continuously refilled as we drank. We had come for the lunch menu, split into two groups: 1. bibimbap menu (stone bowl mixed rice plus a small dish of a classic korean meat dish) for 27€; 2. degustation menu (appetizer, main tableside barbeque dish, dessert) for 45€. My nephew chose from the bibimbap menu: beef tartare bibimbap with a side of chicken bulgogi. It came with a fermented bean soup. The raw beef was thinly sliced ribeye (the same used for beef bulgogi), and it was a large amount. I would have thought that the beef would have been partially cooked by the stone bowl, but that wasn't the case. The meal also came with a decent amount of chicken (dok) bulgogi as the 2nd entree. If an extra bowl of rice had been ordered, this would have been enough food for two people. I got to sample a bite before he tore into it, and found it to be good, though I wish the bowl had been a lot hotter. One thing to impress was the knife work...everything had been chopped so finely and evenly..and bibimbap is all about the various vegetable ingredients mixed with the crispy rice. Japchae was my choice for app, and the glass noodle dish was excellent. Not too oily, with the same knife work: the egg had been separated into yolk and white and had been chopped so finely, that at first glance, I thought the white was imitation crab. They did not have the soy-braised kalbi, so ended up getting the grilled lamb firstribs. This brought on the full bbq experience, with the meat being carved and grilled tableside by the server. The ventilation was excellent, didn't smell barbeque at all. Dessert was Daeboreum, a rice ice cream, with cereal chips, pear mousse, and soy crumble. Dessert in Korean meals is usually simpler, usually cut up fruit. So this was different, surprising, and delicious. Both meals came with set of 4 individual banchans and a communal bowl of kimchi (which was definitely aged strongly). One banchan was very finely shredded potato. Another was individually presented cucumber slices...even the banchan seemed to be individually prepped into each small dish. The kimchi gives good info that a kimchi stew or kimchi fried rice here would be really good. The personalization is crazy here...as if you asked for 2 slices of cucumber instead of 3, they would probably accommodate. The restaurant used the most elegant (and heavy) metal dishware I've ever seen at a Korean restaurant. They even had a display of it in the front, with a price if you wanted to take a set home. The service was aloof, but very attentive and accurate. But what impressed me the most was the ingredient prep. Both bibimbap and japchae can be amazing when the multitude of ingredients is processed so finely, to create a different blended taste, greater than the sum of its ingredients. That for me, is elevated cooking and something I will seek out.

Amazing casual restaurant for Korean dumplings…read more Was a bit late for our reservation , but was able to be accommodated. We had the kimchi and beef dumplings - super delicious.

Worst "korean" food I've ever had. The ambiance of the restaurant was fine; no bad notes on that…read morefront. However, in terms of the food and the culinary description of the restaurant's background, I could not have been more disappointed -- truthfully, I was fuming when I left the restaurant. My friend and I found this restaurant on a list from Vogue France about the best Korean restaurants in Paris. We were very excited for our meal because we were missing having Asian food on our Europe trip and saw Mandoobar had great michelin reviews. Our expectations were high because of how this restaurant prided itself in being "authentic" and the chef's upbringing in Seoul. We ordered the Korean side salad, gougi mandoo, shrimp mandoo, kimchi mandoo, and the sea bream tartare. All of these dishes stated they had sesame oil, vinegar, gochugaru, and/or gochujang (all staple Korean ingredients) in these dishes. This could not have been farther from the truth. The dishes were ridiculously bland, leaving my friend and I to drown our mandoo and sea bream in the sad "soy sauce" (which isn't even Korean) dish they gave us on the side. Aside from the five-year-old level taste profile of our meal, to make matters worse, our kimchi mandoo DID NOT EVEN HAVE KIMCHI IN IT. We had to open up our dumplings after eating the first one to check if there was kimchi in it because, once again, the taste was not there at all. We were met with two red pepper flakes in the filling that were supposed to "mimic" the flavors of kimchi (which it absolutely did not). Not a single dish lived up to our expectations, nor should any of them be considered Korean food -- let alone AUTHENTIC Korean food. To validate my review, I am Korean, have grown up eating homemade Korean food made by my immigrant aunts/grandmother/mother, and have visited Korea multiple times. We were furious when we had to pay $80 for the food we did get and we were still hungry when we left the restaurant. We were happier to leave the restaurant hungry than continue to order more food at this establishment. If I am ever in Paris again, I will never spend a single euro at Mandoobar and would strongly advise anyone who is craving and looking for a delicious Korean meal to NOT go to this restaurant. Save your money and time and visit Shin Jung (7 min walk away from Mandoobar) instead. My friend and I went here immediately after leaving Mandoobar and were pleasantly greeted not only by Korean restaurant staff and chef but also with delightful Korean aromatics. Tldr; DO NOT GO TO MANDOOBAR -- scam, NOT authentic Korean food, go to Shin Jung instead.

We ordered the Korean BBQ (€28), Bibimbap, rice and shrimp plate, kimche, a mixed drink (a shot of vodka and some orange-mango mix) , and one bottle of water. The meat was ok, the portions were extremely small and not worth the €70 bill at all. When we left the owner asked us if the food was good and then said he wouldn't know because he doesn't eat meat... at a KOREAN BBQ restaurant. I'm done‍
