    Udon Jubey is a great little udon place in Paris. I found a lot of the Japanese food in Paris to be very good, and Jubey was no exception. It's a small cafe type restaurant so I didn't expect much from the ambiance, but the service wasn't the best. The food was delicious. I loved the udon, the quality of the noodles tasted premium. I got the seaweed which was pretty good flavor, but I recommend the tempura broth instead. I love the rice bowl (gyu don) , I would highly recommend it if you aren't feeling udon. I got a mixture, so I got the rice bowl and a small bowl of udon which was great since I got to try a little bit of everything. Overall, if you are in the area Udon Jubey is a great option if udon is what you are in the mood for. It's a nice casual place for a quick lunch. Give it a try!

    Cramped restaurant with decent udon. Very expensive compared to the other places for the quality. Didn't really enjoy the dipping udon

    I think that until you've tried something done well, you can't really say you don't like it. I used to say that I did not like udon, but this bowl changed my mind :) The springy noodles in the flavorful broth with the green onions and seaweed are a classic preparation, yet I had never tasted such a symphony of simplicity; every note was perfect, and the music of slurping sounds could be heard throughout the restaurant. As part of their set menu of 16 Euros, you get the udon and a choice of sides like this Katsu and omelette slices over shredded cabbage with a small bowl of chicken rice with pickles. The Katsu was crisp with a nice sauce, and the rice had the benefit of richer flavors from being cooked with broth. The small portion of Katsu with the set menu was so good, I went back for a full katsu on another visit, which was almost more than I could eat; I saw plates of tempura which looked tempting too, but I had no room to eat anymore! Besides the warm service, and the delightful food, they had something on the tables which literally made me smile: bottles of red pepper condiment!

    A little crowded udon restaurant, we've wait about 10mins to get inside. the side dishes spinach and eggplant were very fresh. Oden didn't disappointed us at all. Udon: the soup saltiness was just perfect, it was natural "dashi" flavored. The "noodle" was chewy and soft as what we called "koshi ga ari" in Japanese. My husband had the ten don, he says that the vegetables and shrimp tempura were beyond amazing!

    I'm not an Udon junky, as much as I've tried to be. I think its mostly because I can't eat those slurpy things without making a mess of myself. So I often get the rice dish, especially the Katsu Don. Jubey's was ok. Service was friendly and at the end of my long long day, I got my fix of Asian food on Sainte Anne. Note: They don't have dumplings (boulettes) to go along with your main course, but they do seem to specialize in tempura if that's your thing. Note Note: There is often a line in most of the noodle joints around here - be patient and enjoy the ride.

    As a foreigner in Paris, you need your go to cuisine for comfort. For me it's either Japanese or Korean food but the best Korean food out there is what I make so my next best bet is Japanese. Udon Jubey is good but not for udon. My favorite place to get Udon is actually Sanukiya. But what Udon Jubey can offer that no other place can is quality katsu. (Note that the katsu at Sanukiya is actually disgusting and at Aki, it's soggy and reheated). The katsu here is the best I've had in the world which is saying a lot because I have spent quite a ton of time in Asia, especially Japan. The meat is so soft and tender and the breading really sticks. It's perfect. They have two types of katsu and one is with their special sauce. I'm not a fan of the sauce because it's so thick and salty but it comes with a ton of cabbage which I am obsessed with. I've tried two of their udons here and they are average at best. The tempura isn't as good as it is at Sanukiya. They have a lot of "menu midi" options which is a bargain at 4€. If you get a full now of udon, you can get two pieces of omelette, fried rice, and the fry of the day. If you get a rice dish, you can get a small bowl of basic udon (hot or cold). They have another option where you can get some type of rice roll. The service is fast but sometimes communication is a problem because of the language barrier. I always go around 3 pm to avoid the crowds. Come here but come for the katsu, not the udon!

    This udon place is seriously good, albeit somewhat overpriced. If you're willing to splurge on a €10ish bowl of udon, I don't think you'll regret it. The tempura is fabulous.

    Udon with amazing broth. I ordered the Tanuki udon which is the simple version with just tempura bits. Loved the clean and perfectly flavored soup and good texture of udon noodles. Also ordered the Japanese omelette for 3 euros - I love these so I order them when I see them. Also delicious. With the udon, small starter and a can of Kirin beer I paid 21 euros. Super small place though, I sat upstairs - it was a bit hot in there! A small but important note for me... I usually look for Japanese places where the servers and cooks are Japanese and this place is just that. It really does not matter since one of the best ramen I had in life was from Rome made by an Italian chef who learned in Japan but... On a street full of Japanese joints, I seek out for those actually operated by the Japanese and this place is that :)

    Great classic tempura udon. My first ever bowl of udon was here back in 1999. Glad to see its still delicious!

    Tempura udon & jubey udon & Kirin

    Came here on a rainy day and the udon from here just hit the spot!! This place is tiny ass tiny, so there seems to always be a queue out the door. I think it's worth the wait though! My first time - I got the tempura udon and it was very good. Even better when you wash it down with a Kirin. One of my friends got the udon jubey and that was even better. I'll be back!!!

    I was surprised that it is possible to have a decent Udon in Paris. It is always very busy, so be patient. It is worth the wait.

    I was shocked when I read Takara is the oldest Japanese restaurant in Europe. I thought they were…read morecappin, but my rigorous 5 minute google research says this is true. It only opened in 1958, which sent me into an existential spiral. A city that is such a cultural melting pot like Paris, and Europe as a whole, got their first Japanese restaurant in 1958? The world has not been connected for very long. I don't know why, but this really put time into perspective for me. When we stepped off the Parisian streets and into Takara, it literally felt like we just entered a worm hole to Tokyo. They somehow bottled the energy in Japan and brought it to Paris. You could take a breath in here. There was just such a calming, respectful energy in here that I have only felt in Japan. When making a reservation, you are required to order either Shabu Shabu or Sukiyaki which honestly was kind of annoying. We just wanted to rip a bunch of sushi. 52 euro a head was the cheapest option, and we went with that because I'm a brokie. We sat down in the most authentic Japanese ambiance that I have ever set foot in outside of Japan. I was so damn inspired. One of the walls was lined with 70+ different types of beautifully crafted Japanese wallpaper, and I wanted to steal it and bring it back home to line the walls of my tiny NYC apartment. Along with our forced shabu shabu, we went with a mixed nigiri platter, 3 different cut rolls, and some fried chicken. My Chase Sapphire Preferred card was in hell. The nigiri and cut rolls went absolutely insane. The thing about writing food reviews is there are only so many positive adjectives in my repertoire. It was better than any nigiri I've had outside of Japan. Maybe the quality of fish has been the same in LA or NYC, but the vibe in here just took it up a notch... See, my words are futile to describe the feeling this fish gave me. I would honestly love to hate on the shabu shabu that we were held at gunpoint to try, but it was also PHENOMENAL. Maybe it's just a case of Stockholm syndrome, but it was magical. Thin cuts of beef with the most perfect marbling, paired with fresh vegetables to cook in a hot pot right in front of you? How could you not love it? The waitress came over and got us started, showing us how to operate the shabu shabu machine. All in all, this was my 2nd favorite meal we had in Paris only behind the Senegalese restaurant Waly Fay. However, Takara did HURT the pockets. I don't even know how much it ran, I just winced as I tapped my Chase card. I'm refusing to look at the statement as it's all just monopoly money on vacation, right?

The food is mostly various Japanese Udon soup, but it is done so well we were blown away. We have had a lot of Japanese food in the US and countless trips to Japan and this is some of the best we have had outside of Japan. The owner is from Kochi, Japan and the food is authentic. We took the shrimp/vegetable tempura, katsu curry udon as well as the kunitora. All came out together and piping hot. The katsu curry udon was outstanding and definitely a do not miss dish. The katsu was so crispy and cooked to perfection. The dish itself was very interesting because there was a healthy portion of curry poured over the soup that the meat sits on top, then as you eat, the curry and soup mix more, and you get a rich delicious broth at the end with all the udon. The tempura was done well. We also had matcha ice cream which is texturized with various cereals on top and bottom of the ice cream as well as a tasty crispy wafer. The service is quick and effective, they speak English well and were so nice. The place is busy so be prepared to wait 10-20 minutes for a spot - it is well worth it. The atmosphere is a really nice open bistro with modern design and classic rock and pop 80s-90s music. It is mostly community style seating, which some may not love, including myself, but in this setting I couldn't care less.

When I passed by here on a Sunday afternoon at 2pm and the place looked relatively empty, I thought to myself - this is it! I love japanese cafe's like this in NYC (I've never been to japan), where they have different sections for hot food and cold food and ready made food. The hot food section provides you with a selection of ready made bentos as well as a selection of bentos you can choose from and choose your own three small sides. Each bento is approximately 10EUR plus or minus and the portions arent too big. I asked the cute guy serving what he liked and he told me the kaarage, or fried chicken, or poulet frite. So that's what I got, and my friend got the chicken teriyaki, or chicken grille. We were both extremely happy with the food. The best part is that the rice is real japanese rice. sooo good. There's a little cafeteria on the inside with jugs of water, another upstairs area for seating, and another upstairs area for general japanese snacks and alcohol for purchase. The sushi section is pretty cool too, providing you with sushi stuffed with the chicken or breaded pork (katsu). I definitely wanna try that next time. Um they are opened 7 days a week, even on xmas and new years! This is a real japanese joint, rant by japanese people, and good looking japanese guys manning the cooking section. Love it!

And whatever that celery+bacon appetizer they have, is so flavorful and a must-try. Everything is very affordable and super authentic. I regret not taking pictures of our bento boxes so that I can just salivate over when I dream of you, Jujiya. C'est très bon!

It looks like you just stepped into a outdoor Japanese seafood market with fish, eel, crab hanging around (fake of course). We sat down and ordered right away since we were both starving.

I found that hard to believe until I tried it myself -- maybe one of the best ramens I've ever had in my life. The initial plan wasn't to come here, but since a lot of restaurants are closed on Mondays, we decided to give this a shot. Surprisingly, there was no line or wait at 5pm. We were seated immediately at this Tsukiji fish market-themed restaurant. Crazy how realistic the decor is and actually teleports you to Japan. You can see all the consideration that was put into the detailing of this establishment -- huge tuna on the table, the piles of insulated foam containers, hanging squid, and even the residual "puddles of water" on the table. We ordered the Sardine Shoyu (the classic) and Sardine Bomb (the strongest). Opted for chef style, which is a few euros more, but added extra protein such as an egg and chicken/pork chashu. Both took a bit of time to come out, but let me tell you -- it was absolutely worth it. The broth was rich, umami and not too fishy. The sardine bomb is a bit of a thicker and more potent broth, but wasn't overpowering at all. The noodles were wavy and chewy (maybe buckwheat?). Each bowl was loaded with tender pieces of protein that tied together seamlessly with the broth and noodles. We left more than satisfied from this meal, but will definitely think about this bowl on a regular basis. Well-deserved recognition!
