The best ramen in Paris
Ramen has become one of the most sought-after dishes in Paris, and with good reason: a great bowl of ramen is a concentrate of umami flavors, featuring a broth simmered for hours, noodles with a perfect texture, and carefully selected toppings. Japanese culinary culture places a major emphasis on mastering a single dish. Here are the spots that best embody this demanding art.
1. Kodawari Ramen Tsukiji ⭐ 4.5/5
A fully immersive experience that is as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food. The decor faithfully recreates a traditional Japanese fish market (inspired by Tokyo's famous Tsukiji market), featuring stunningly realistic details around every corner. But beyond the incredible setting, the ramen is exceptional: a deep, creamy tonkotsu broth simmered for over 18 hours, homemade noodles cooked to absolute perfection, and melt-in-your-mouth chashu pork. The queues get long (especially on weekends), but it is absolutely worth the wait. Pro tip: head there on a weekday right when they open to beat the crowd.
Budget : 14-18 euros · 6ème arrondissement · Décor immersif 📍 Google Maps
2. Kodawari Ramen Yokocho ⭐ 4.4/5
Kodawari's second spot, this time transporting you straight into a bustling Japanese night alley (yokocho). The vibe is even more immersive, complete with retro storefronts, glowing signs in Japanese, and moody, atmospheric lighting. The ramen offers a slightly different take from the sister restaurant, showcasing a remarkable shio (salt-based) broth alongside their classic tonkotsu. I highly recommend trying the tsukemen (dipping noodles served cold with a concentrated warm broth) if you are visiting in the summer. It holds up to the exact same high standards of quality.
Budget : 14-18 euros · 2ème arrondissement · Ambiance yokocho 📍 Google Maps
3. Neko Ramen ⭐ 4.5/5
An intimate little counter spot where you pull up a stool right in front of the chef for a front-row seat to the action. Here, the broth is the real star of the show: choose between a tori paitan (a velvety chicken broth) with incredible depth of flavor, or a classic shoyu carrying complex notes of fermented soy and dashi. Portions are generous, and the marinated ramen eggs are cooked to perfection with a beautifully runny yolk. The style really captures the spirit of Tokyo's neighborhood joints, where you sit down, focus on your bowl, and simply enjoy.
Budget : 13-16 euros · Comptoir intimiste · Bouillons d'exception 📍 Google Maps
4. KUMA Paris ⭐ 4.4/5
A versatile Japanese eatery that hits the mark with both ramen and donburi (savory rice bowls). The tonkotsu is rich and creamy, and the noodles are perfectly al dente. That said, don't overlook their donburi—the katsu don (crispy pork cutlet over rice) and gyudon (tender simmered beef) are prepared with absolute precision. The space is bright and modern, paired with a welcoming staff. They have a few spots across Paris, making it easy to grab a comforting bite wherever you are exploring.
Budget : 12-17 euros · Plusieurs adresses · Ramen et donburi 📍 Google Maps
Korean restaurants in Paris: BBQ, bibimbap, and fried chicken
Korean cuisine is experiencing a spectacular boom in Paris, driven by the Hallyu wave and a growing curiosity for the peninsula's fermented, spicy, and grilled flavors. From DIY tableside Korean BBQ to crispy fried chicken, colorful bibimbap, and bubbling soups, there's no shortage of options. It's a deeply social and convivial way of eating, perfect for travelers looking to connect with locals over a great meal.
5. Guibine ⭐ 4.5/5
One of the best Korean BBQs in Paris, and probably the most authentic. The meats (marinated beef, pork, chicken) are top quality, the side dishes (banchan) are endlessly refilled, and you grill right at your table over real charcoal. The atmosphere is warm and lively, just like a real gopchang-jip in Seoul. The staff, mostly Korean, will happily guide you through the grilling process if it’s your first time. The all-you-can-eat options are fantastic value for money.
Budget: 25-35 euros · Charcoal BBQ · Unlimited banchan 📍 Google Maps
6. POCHA! ⭐ 4.4/5
This spot brings a cozy pochamacha (Korean night market bistro) vibe to a relaxed, festive setting. The tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) are completely addictive, the fried chicken is perfectly crispy with its homemade gochujang sauce, and the soju keeps flowing. It’s the ultimate spot for a night out with friends, Korean-style: sharing dishes, snacking, drinking, and laughing. The portions are designed for sharing and the prices are very budget-friendly. Don't miss out on the fondue!
Budget: 15-22 euros · Pochamacha vibe · Ideal for groups 📍 Google Maps
7. Oisso ⭐ 4.9/5
Comforting, home-style Korean cooking in a simple and welcoming setting. The bibimbaps are colorful and generous, the soups (jjigae) come steaming and fragrant, and the lunch menus are an absolute steal. It’s like eating home-cooked meals straight from a Korean mom’s kitchen: simple, hearty, and full of flavor. The homemade banchan (side dishes) are generously refilled. A no-signup, no-fuss neighborhood gem you’ll keep coming back to for its generous spirit and great taste.

Best Chinese restaurants in Paris: dim sum, malatang, and dumplings
Chinese cuisine in Paris goes far beyond Peking duck and fried rice. You can now find spots specializing in specific regional cuisines: spicy Sichuan malatang, northern-style dumplings, Cantonese dim sum, and hand-pulled Lanzhou noodles. The Belleville neighborhood and the 13th arrondissement are home to some of the best spots, but you'll find incredible places all over Paris. To help you wrap your head around China's vast culinary diversity, our article on French regional specialties is a great comparison of how different regions develop their own unique food traditions.
8. YGF Malatang ⭐ 4.8/5
The malatang (spicy Sichuan broth) concept, adapted for Paris and highly accessible. You choose your own fresh ingredients (vegetables, tofu, meats, mushrooms, noodles) from a refrigerated display, and the chef cooks them in a spicy broth flavored with Sichuan peppercorns. You can adjust the spice level to your liking. It is fresh, healthy, customizable, and honestly addictive. Regulars find themselves coming back several times a week.
Budget : 12-16 euros · Bouillon Sichuan · Personnalisable 📍 Google Maps
9. Chen Pan Pan ⭐ 4.4/5
A specialist in handmade Chinese dumplings (jiaozi) with an impressive selection of fillings and preparation styles. Boiled, pan-fried, or steamed: each cooking method brings out a different, delicious texture. The wrappers are thin and chewy (hand-kneaded and pulled), and the fillings are generous and beautifully seasoned. The xiao long bao (soup dumplings) are particularly good, bursting with hot, flavorful broth in your mouth. Excellent value for this level of craftsmanship.
Budget : 10-14 euros · Raviolis faits main · Plusieurs préparations 📍 Google Maps
10. Little Shao ⭐ 4.5/5
Modern Chinese street food served in a warm, laid-back setting. The baozi (steamed buns) are fluffy and packed with filling, the wok-fried noodles are incredibly fragrant, and the homemade bubble teas are the perfect pairing. The menu bridges tradition (family recipes) and modernity (stylish presentation, organic ingredients where possible). A great balance of authenticity and comfort.
Budget : 10-14 euros · Baozi et street food · Cadre moderne 📍 Google Maps
11. Kongfu Pâte ⭐ 4.7/5
Some of the best hand-pulled noodles you'll find in Paris. Watching the chef stretch the dough with effortless precision is a show in itself, and the food live up to the performance. Served in a soup (choice of aromatic beef broth or clear broth) or stir-fried with your choice of meat and vegetables, these noodles have that perfect, springy bite you simply can't get from store-bought pasta. A true must-try that we also featured in our guide des restaurants pas chers à Paris.
Budget : 9-13 euros · Nouilles tirées à la main · Spectacle culinaire 📍 Google Maps
Japanese food in Paris: going beyond ramen
Paris is home to tucked-away, specialized spots that are just as exciting for lovers of Japanese cuisine: from donabe (clay pot cooking) and artisanal onigiri to shared-style izakaya.
12. Takesan Donabe ⭐ 4.6/5
A rare find in Paris: cooking with the donabe, a traditional Japanese clay pot that slow-cooks ingredients to bring out their deepest flavors. The rice cooked in the donabe is a revelation (with that perfect golden crust at the bottom, and fluffy, fragrant grains), while the dishes simmered in this artisanal pottery develop an incomparable depth of flavor. This is slow, precise cooking, a world away from deep fryers and kitchen theatrics. It’s an intimate, refined restaurant run by a passionate chef.
Budget: 18-30 euros · Donabe cooking · Unique experience 📍 Google Maps
13. Omusubi Gonbei ⭐ 4.5/5
They specialize in hand-made-to-order onigiri (rice balls filled and wrapped in nori seaweed) using premium Japanese rice cooked to absolute perfection. Each onigiri is shaped by hand with a gentle touch that makes all the difference in texture. Fillings range from classics like salmon, umeboshi, and tuna mayo to more creative combinations. This is Japanese fast food at its absolute project-best: simple, healthy, and incredibly satisfying.
Budget: 6-12 euros · Made-to-order Onigiri · Authentic Japanese fast food 📍 Google Maps
14. Shinko ⭐ 4.3/5
An all-you-can-eat Japanese buffet, but with a serious upgrade in quality compared to your average spot. The sushi is prepared to order with fresh fish (no pre-cut pieces sitting around), the tempura is light and crispy, and the menu also features udon, gyoza, and various hot dishes. It is a fantastic value for money if you want to sample a wide variety of Japanese dishes in a single sitting.
Budget: 22-30 euros all-you-can-eat · Sushi made to order · Wide variety 📍 Google Maps

If you're looking to take things further, our travel guides to Northern, Central, and Southern Vietnam will give you all the details you need to plan your own trip.
15. Pho Bida ⭐ 4.4/5
The gold standard for Vietnamese pho in Paris. The broth, simmered for over 12 hours with marrow bones, cinnamon, star anise, and ginger, has an incredibly deep flavor. The rice noodles are fresh, the beef is top-notch (choose between raw beef that cooks right in the piping hot broth, or melt-in-your-mouth simmered beef), and the fresh herbs (Thai basil, mint, cilantro) add that classic, vibrant Vietnamese finish. It's pure comfort in a bowl.
Budget: 11-15 euros · Authentic Pho · 12H Simmered Broth 📍 Google Maps
16. TranTranZai ⭐ 4.5/5
A modern Vietnamese spot that puts a creative twist on classics using fresh, seasonal ingredients. Their bo bun is easily one of the best in Paris (featuring rice vermicelli, griled beef, crispy spring rolls, fresh herbs, and a perfectly balanced nuoc mam sauce). Their bánh mì are wonderfully crunchy and packed, and the daily specials never disappoint. The space is bright and modern, the portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable.
Budget: 12-16 euros · Modern Vietnamese · Exceptional Bo Bun 📍 Google Maps
Pan-Asian and fusion: our favorite creative spots
Some places refuse to be boxed into just one cuisine, blending Asian influences with real talent. These fusion spots offer original creations that draw from several culinary traditions across the continent.
17. Jungle Wok ⭐ 4.2/5
A build-your-own wok concept set in a lush, jungle-themed dining room. You pick your ingredients (meats, seafood, tofu, fresh veggies) and your base (noodles, rice, vermicelli), then choose your sauce (teriyaki, satay, green curry, sweet chili). The chef stirs and whips it up right in front of you. To top it off, there's a buffet with sushi, dim sum, and various Asian appetizers. It's the perfect spot to make sure everyone at the table finds something they love.

The second KUMA spot in the Batignolles neighborhood delivers the same high standards for ramen and donburi. This location stands out with its more spacious setting and a slightly different menu, featuring highly successful homemade gyoza (thin, crispy skins and a juicy filling) and addictive karaage (Japanese fried chicken). The vibe is family-friendly and relaxed—perfect for a casual yet delicious lunch.
