On a cold rainy day, ramen is the perfect meal. At 4pm on a Sunday, it was easy to snag a seat. It's been a while since I had Ippudo and the noodles are *chef's kiss*, and you absolutely have to get it with a soft tea egg. The broth was flavorful yet comforting. The one ding was the pork was slightly overcooked and dry. Nevertheless, a staple ramen option. read more

The food was ok here... the serves were kinda not too accommodating especially considering we were an oddly party of three. Made us feel like we were an inconvenience to the seating arrangement they had. Awesome Vibes and decorative had a pleasant ramen scene. Gave them a 4 star cause they tried to help out family get comfortable later on. It was pack and they were about to close. All in all good place. read more

Although we mainly ate at authentic French restaurants for the majority of our trip, I bookmarked Ippudo as a place to visit while we were in town. After several days of nonstop French culinary feasts, we took a break and enjoyed this awesome ramen shop which lives up to its reputation. They did an excellent job with little touches like pre-marinating the soft boiled egg with soy sauce and noodle preparation. Ippudo is definitely a good stop to plan for while in Paris, regardless of the other great French dining options available. Not only was the food great, the service and atmosphere was excellent as well! read more

What a great find! We searched for ramen and Ippudo came up so we gave it a try! Wonderful food! My vegetarian companion had the Spicy tofu - rich with veggies and a sumptuous spicy topping, and the Goma Kyuri, delicious cucumber with a lovely sesame topping. I went for the Tori Shoyu with a side of hot sauce. It more than satisfied my craving for ramen and was full of goodies. I give this eatery a full five stars for great service and great food and pleasant atmosphere! read more

Good food, although would've loved a little bigger portion for a ramen it was really good. The ambiance is nice and the service is quick and effective. Overall it was a good experience and will go again. read more

Was getting tired of French and Italian food so I looked on Yelp and found ippudo. I had this last year when we visited Japan and we loved it. Servers was so nice and even get free water not them trying to sell you bottled water like all the other restaurants. We had the crunchy tasty cucumbers and then the karaage and then came out delicious ramen. I highly recommend read more

Atmosphere: Ippudo has a very nice interior that is clean and organized. We have to mention, the bathroom at Ippudo may be the best, cleanest toilet in all of Paris. Service: The service was good, and our food came out in a timely manner. However, we were double charged for food that we weren't really satisfied with. Food: We ordered the Karaku Chashu and the Akamaru Tamago. The Karaku Chashu was not that spicy but had great flavor. The noodles were excellent and the pork was very tender. The pork broth of the Akamaru ramen was deep, rich, and flavorful. However, the egg was refrigerator-cold and was not soft-boiled -- most of the yolk was fully cooked. We asked for another soft-boiled egg, and the egg we received the second time was also cold and had a partially cooked yolk. In the end, we were charged for 2 eggs, which we were disappointed by since we left the first egg to the side and did not eat it. Overall: We enjoyed our meal at Ippudo and would have maybe given it 5 stars if the eggs were served hot and not overdone. We would come back again to try some of their other ramen with hopes that the preparation of the food is improved. read more

This is probably the worst ramen I've ever tried. Maybe that's harsh because I've only tried New York ramen, but it was way too salty and lacked any other flavor. The chicken katsu was similar. VERY salty. Almost unbearable to eat. There were maybe 4 pieces of chicken in the dish. The rest was rice and onion. The only decent item was the gyoza. We were craving a break from French food but this wasn't satisfying at all. read more

Between a 4 and 5. The kaarage was super freshly fried, good flavor but really really bit pieces (dark meat). The broth was really good, both the classic and the shoyu. The pork was meh though and the egg was a bit more cooked than it should be. But partner loved the noodles, he even got extra noodles. read more

I went in the late afternoon about an hour before closing and got seated right away! I believe I ordered the Akamaru Tamago which was pretty spicy and came with an egg. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the broth was delicious! Service was great as well. Definitely a good place to stop by if you're craving Asian food on your Eurotrip! read more

After a long rainy day traveling to Versailles, a warm bowl of ramen was what our group needed. Found Ippudo on yelp and was treated to a pretty authentic bowl of Japanese ramen in Paris. We appropriated that the server ask each of us how we liked our ramen cooked. The broth was also very rich. The thing we didn't care for was the katsu rice bow. The creamy cole slaw didn't go well with the rest of the dish. But that is nothing minor that we didn't think too much about since ramen was what we were after. Overall this is a good place to come for a good bowl of ramen and not break the bank. read more

OH.MY.GOODNESS!!! PARIS! Yes...PARIS! I can't believe that of all the places in the world that Paris would be the place where I would experience the best ramen I've had so far. It's hard to put into words and describe the goodness and the delight I had after this dining encounter. It was great! They offer choices on how you wanted your noodles prepared; I opted for al dente (kata). Ordered the Karaka--their classic tonkotsu pork broth topped pork belly with "karaka" (spicy goodnes) and the Paris exclusive Tori Shoyu (Chicken soup). We also got the Tamago (soft-boiled egg) option for both ramen. If you don't like it spicy, you can ask them to put the spicy paste on the side and just add to your liking. read more

Since they only serve one kind of ramen bowl with a chicken base I had pretty high expectations. Sadly the two slices of boiled chicken breast while pretty fresh tasting were incredibly dry and bland. The broth had a heavy soy component that completely obliterated any hint of poultry. Noodles lacked texture and "snap" and their amount quite meagre. As a first ramen experience in the city of light and such a hip neighbourhood, it was a surprising letdown. read more

Ramen is one of my favorite foods, and since I'm visiting Paris I figured I try a spot here. After doing some research I found a lot of good reviews for Ippudo. Well I'm so glad I gave this place a try, the ramen was delicious. The broth had such a good taste without being so heavy, the sashu was very soft, and the noodles were perfectly cook. Also the pricing was bad at all. I would give it 5 stars however the service wasn't as great, but hey! at least the soup was. read more

Ippudo Saint-Germain - Ramen Near Me - Paris, 75

Ippudo was one of the first restaurants we ate at during our stay in Paris. I was craving ramen so I Yelped a spot nearby and found this one. There are long waits apparently but we (luckily) got seated quickly. I was a huge fan of the gyoza. It was crunchy and flavorful. The ramen, on the other hand, was not my favorite. I'm a tonkatsu-broth kinda gal but not a thin noodle kinda gal. Even after adding chili and garlic to my broth, I couldn't get passed the taste of the noodles. This ramen was a huge pass for me. Definitely don't recommend coming in large groups as they make you wait until they make room for you. I saw a group of 5 wait for over 30 minutes while couples were being taken in one after another. read more

Restaurant says open until 12:30am. I make the trek in rain on one of the two nights I'm in Paris. Arrive at 10:40pm. They tell me they're closed. This is on a Saturday night by the way. Complete waste of time. read more

My coworkers and I quite literally stumbled into Ippudo in St. Germain while on our shopping spree around town. It's a popular, well-renowned ramen shop with authentic roots in Japan but it was great to try really good ramen here in Paris! I had the Akamaru Modern ramen with thin, but chewy noodles, umami miso paste, pork belly chashu (bbq pork), cabbage, sesame kikurage mushrooms, and garlic flavoring. It was a deliciously packed bowl and wonderful, refreshing change to my palatte in Paris during my work trip. Would definitely recommend as a dinner course- it's quite heavy for lunch. But if you're up for it, go for it! read more

If you are looking for GREAT Ramen then Ippudo is your place. I never knew you could find it in Paris. Thank you Yelp! This is a great place to warm you up during the winter months. The locals agree as their was a line to get in. I had their moderne Ramen style and it was delicious. The pork is soft with fat included. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth had very strong pork flavor. This is place is better than a lot of the ones I've been to in the Bay Area. I will back here again...and again...and again. read more

Never made it to the one in NYC, but Ramen AND in Paris? It can't be beat. The servers were very nice, we came right around noon and it wasn't busy yet but within 15 minutes of sitting down the place was already packed and there was a long line! We all got different ramen bowls, and they all tasted great. Can't wait to come back! read more

Always up for a bowl of ramen, I can easily be persuaded to eat at Ippudo. I've been to both restaurants in the last two months (it's that time of year when only a steaming broth of ramen will cure the winter chill), both times with English-speaking friends. I'm not sure if the staff is used to welcoming tourists, but every time the waiter or waitress came over to our table, they insisted on speaking English! Ippudo gives you five choices of soups: the classic pork-based (Shiromaru), the "modern" (Akamaru--with the addition of oil and an umami sauce), the spicy (Karaka), the chicken-based (Tori Shoyu), and the vegetarian. You can add extra toppings for 1-3€: marinated eggs, seaweed, extra mushrooms, bamboo, more pork, and...cheese and pepper. Then you choose your noodle consistency, from yawa (well-cooked) to bari-kata (al dente). The ramen is filling enough (especially when accompanied by a large and bubbly Asahi beer), but should you want to share starters, the crunchy cucumber is a good bet. It's topped with sesame and vinegar, guaranteed to satiate your umami cravings. I've tried the three pork-based broths, and my favorite is the Shiromaru Tamago yawa, the classic with a marinated egg and soft noodles. Next time I may test the untried: a supplement of Emmenthal and pepper. read more

Absolutely delicious. I was starving and living off of bread and coffee in Paris until I found this place

The first time I had Ippudo was in NY and was excited to find a location in Paris! It was just as good as what I remembered. We had the Hirata Buns to start and that was amazing!!! I'm drooling for them right now as I write this. I also had the Shiromaru Special with the soft boiled egg. Omg!!! That soft boiled egg was delicious and the broth was just perfect!! I'm going to try and eat here again before we leave Paris!! read more

What?! Did I see correctly on Yelp that there is an Ippudo in Paris?! How and when did they happen?! I need to go there pronto to make sure this is foreal...I went here for lunch the day after I found out this place existed, and I was not disappointed. It's a bit hidden, near the Odeon metro stop. I came around 4pm-still trying to recover from jet lag. I walked up to the restaurant, and it looked closed...I was about to cry in disappointment, but then I saw they were open...THANK YOU! Apparently, they usually close at 3:30pm to take a break, but they were experimenting staying open all day...not sure if that is going to last, since the restaurant was really empty when I was there, there were only a few other people dining. This was good for me that I did not have to wait, but not good for business. Everything was similar to the locations in NYC from what I can remember. The only difference I noticed was they do not serve iced green tea, so I got a hot matcha green tea instead. The pork bao buns were as amazing as I remember. I ordered the modern with the noodles al dente, and it was perfect, and the dish stayed warm during the duration of my meal, impressive! All the staff were very friendly, and greet you when you enter and exit the restaurant. I'm so happy to have this option in Paris. It provided a much needed break from French food. read more

tldr; best ramen place in Paris easily, fantastic place to eat Ippudo is hands down my favorite ramen place in the states, so when I found out that it existed in Paris, I knew I had to come, and I haven't been disappointed. I probably frequent this place at least twice a week and the quality is always consistent, service is courteous and fast, and it's always a great experience here. Tbh the best part about this place relative to their international counterparts is the fact that there's almost never a line! It's awesome. There are only five bowls of ramen here -- the first three I believe are in the NYC menu as well. But I've had the shiromaru, akamaru, and the tori shoyu. I prefer the shiromaru and the tori shoyu and typically alternate between those two bowls. The akamaru is a little bit too oily for me. The shiromaru and tori shoyu both have delicious broths, and tasty noodles. The chicken in the tori shoyu is a little too dry for my liking, but I find the additional of yuzu rinds to be a refreshing take on an otherwise fairly traditional shoyu. I will typically also add the Ippudo tamago for an extra euro -- their tamago is quite delicious and it's marinated and the yolk has a nice flavor. In terms of appetizers, I have only tried the gyoza and their hakata buns. Both dishes are fine, but nothing spectacular. You come here for the ramen. Ippudo Paris also allows you to order the texture of noodles that you would prefer, from soft to fairly al dente. I typically go for al dente since I prefer harder noodles, and have found that to be delicious. Service is friendly and they are English and credit card friendly which I appreciate. The prices here are also cheaper than NYC -- about 13 euros for a bowl of noodles with tamago. Overall, I'm thrilled that Paris has Ippudo -- the quality is quite consistent with what you get in the states as well. Easily my favorite place to dine in Paris. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out on Sunday night for dinner. We came at 5:50pm, 10 minutes before they opened at 6 pm and there were already 6 or so parties ahead of us. It was raining so the servers brought out umbrellas for those under the rain which I found so kind! At 6 pm, they opened the doors and the whole team of ten or so employees greeted us with enthusiasm in Japanese! There was only one Japanese employee. They are English and Japanese friendly and even had menus in these languages. The ambience of this place is very nice yet simple. The service is also extremely attentive. After looking at the menus for a few minutes, we were ready to order so the server immediately came to take our order. To start, we ordered the gyozas and two pork buns. For our meals, we both got the spicy ramen, my boyfriend got hi made "special" which came with two extra pork pieces, nori/seaweed, and an egg. I got mine with an egg and mushrooms. The noodles can be cooked four different ways, depending on how hard you want them to be. We got ours al dente. You can also order extra ramen noodles on the side of you want more noodles with your broth. As for the other ramen choices: there were two pork options, one which came with more garlic. The fourth option was completely vegetarian. You can add extra toppings as you please! The gyozas were delicious but tiny. The pork buns were surprisingly good! Each gyoza was maybe a bite size so they are tiny!! The pork was cooked in soy sauce and came in a bun with mayo and iceberg lettuce. The Ramens were huge! I didn't like the egg very mug because it was cold even after having sat in my broth. I found this very off putting. The noodles were super thin and cooked well. The spicy broth was not very spicy, I wish it had more kick to it. We always had water because the servers would constantly bring us new bottles which is such a pleasant surprise here in Paris where service is often awful. Our whole meal came to 46€ which was not bad. The employees all say hello and goodbye in unison which I found adorable. read more

Cozy little ramen shop serving up a nice menu of both traditional and more modern, interesting ramen. I'm giving it 4 stars for the ramen, but it may deserve 5 for Paris as I'm not familiar with the other options. In DC (or most major US cities these days) this would be good, but not the best ramen. Everything was good, but just missing that last little oomph to get it up to 5 stars. The chashu (pork) was great, but a little fattier than I'd like. The noodles were great, but could have used a bit more flavor of their own instead of relying entirely on the broth. Still, this is a strong ramen showing and I'd go back again. read more

I've eaten at some great ramen joints in my life, namely in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York, and LA. We were craving ramen during our Paris visit so we figured we'd go to one of the most famous places around without the wait and hype of NY. Since Parisiennes eat later than Americans, it worked in our favor! We ate at around 630pm, and the place was near empty. I ordered the basic tonkotsu based ramen for 13€, which comes with kikurage mushrooms, scallions, and two slices of pork. You choose the ramen doneness as well--we chose al dente. You can add an egg for 1€, add two slices of pork for 2€, and get the "special combo" for 17€. The pricing scale is similar for the other two soup bases (extra umami paste and spicy). My dining companion ordered the extra umami ramen and it was a little strong for his liking and he didn't finish the broth. My ramen was pretty delicious and I slurped it down, but at the end I didn't think it was particularly special. Felt more bare bones than a treat. Service was quick and we were in and out in about 50 minutes. +1 for the cool bathroom. read more

While visiting Paris and saying with my aunts in St. Germain, we stumbled across so many great venues for international cuisine. I think my gf and I legitimately ate here 3 times over the course of the week we were there. We're blessed with quite a few amazing ramen restaurants in the Bay Area including some chains directly from Japan, and this one was right on par with all the rest. I don't think it's possible to be disappointed with the food here. We got to know the staff pretty well, so when one evening we came in at the last minute, they still sat us. read more

Solid ramen. A lot of employees and probably the best service we had in Paris. Tried Ippudo in NYC and also Tokyo. Each has a slightly different menu, I think this one is the smallest of the 3. There is a tonkotsu, a salty one and a veggie ramen with slight variations of each broth. The gyoza is good but very small. Rather not have gotten that and hand more dessert around the St. Germaine area. Great spot for those ready for some ramen. read more

Every time I go to a new city, I'm on the hunt for ramen or authentic Japanese food. We were considering a few other ramen shops but my husband and I decided to try Ippudo as we were in the neighborhood sight seeing and it began to rain. I wouldn't call this the best ramen I've had but it was certainly good - not too salty, noodles cooked perfectly and flavorful broth. I will say however I was disappointed in the up charges for additional ingredients that usually come standard in a bowl of ramen like nori and egg. Service was very friendly and food came out lightening fast. Would definitely recommend if you find yourself craving ramen in Paris. read more

Flavor is in the direction of authentic so they gain one extra star but execution is terrible. Soup served barely above room temperature. Soft boiled eggs for the soup are pre-cooked and refrigerated, then tossed into the broth upon serving (STILL COLD when eaten). Spicy soup with no heat at all, no chili oil or Japanese / Asian hot sauce to add flavor. Overcooked porkloin and poor quality. Perhaps popular because it's fast and brings Ramen into a tourist centric part of Paris, but this establishment is not worth your money. read more

My favorite Ramen place is also here in Paris! I only passed by this street and place so many times. I didn't notice it the first few times. But when I finally did see it, I said to myself that it couldn't be the same one from NY. But I looked it up and it was! Just like the ones in NY, you can't make reservations. You need to show up and get in a queue in front of the restaurant. I prefer to come before they open and thus guaranteed to be part of the first seating. I ordered my usual Hirata Bun (pork bun) [€4 for one] and, since they have a different menu, I ordered the Karaka Special [€17] with Bari Kata (Firm) noodles. (The Ippudo NY just had the Karaka-men). The Hirata Bun was just as I remembered. The bun fluffy. The pork tender and tasty. My fave! The Karaka (ramen) was different from the one in NY. Let me say that the broth, noodles, the egg, and chasu pork were the same. So tasty. Here you get to choose how firm or soft you want the noodle to be. The differences. The bowl is smaller and thus the portion smaller. (Which I don't mind). The spicy-ness of the Paris one is much much more mild than the NY one. This, I liked since I used to have to control the amount of spice I mixed into the soup with the NY one. The Paris one doesn't automatically come with the mushrooms! I didn't realize it until I was already halfway through my soup. And that is one of my favorite parts since it gives it another texture and crunchiness to it. Oh well. Maybe next time. All in all, it was a great meal and the service was very good. read more

After traveling around Europe for a week, I was really craving something Asian. I've been to the Ippudo in Hong Kong and fell in love with Ippudo's broth. It's full of porky flavor and makes me feel so warm and cozy inside. I always order spicy and it really hit the spot! The meat is tender and juicy. The noodles are cooked perfectly, which really completes the bowl of ramen. I came here for a semi early dinner and there wasn't a lot of people. I thought there would be a line of people since other Ippudo spots around the world are always filled with people. But then again it was ramen in Paris! read more

Please don't judge. We are American/Canadian tourists in Paris craving for asian food after being in Europe for just a week.... I was convincing my wife not to eat anything asian while we were there, but I failed miserably, because I am also a lover for ramen. We had never tried Ippudo, but have seen this famous chain multiple times in Tokyo, Taipei, HongKong, and NYC. Can't believe we're trying it the first time in Paris. I don't need to say much more than that this place deserves a 5-star rating, we came for an early meal and didn't have to wait. I wished the portion was bigger, or the price was cheaper, but it was also at a price location here... so kind of justifies the price tag. Take a look at the pictures the others took... they look amazing.. I'd definitely come here again! :D read more
