One of two Korean restaurants close by to the hotel we were staying, and chose the one that was…read morecloser. Came for dinner on a Thursday around 7, and we were the only ones inside. Not the friendliest hostess or server, but efficient. I was curious what Korean food (which is known to stay pretty consistent regardless of which country you are in) would taste like in France, and didn't want to just do KBBQ. The table we sat at, did have a gas bbq pit. They immediately offered a carafe of water, which we could serve ourselves. We started off with Crepe au kimchi (€12) , and it was very, very good. The kimchi was sufficiently sour to give the pancake a nice kick, and just enough hot oil had been used to make the pancake crispy but not too oily. It had been cut into the right sized squares, perfect to pick up with chopsticks. It was a great start. We ordered bibimbap with raw beef (€16) , beef BBQ (bulgogi for €19,5), and kimchi pork soup with tofu (€14). The kimchi pork soup used the same really ripe kimchi. It had generous portion, the broth had permeated the tofu nicely, and there was the right amount of fatty pork. With a bowl of white rice (€2), it was a good meal for me and I was satisfied. My wife's bulgogi came with white rice and 6 banchans. It was very tender and well marinated. She grilled it herself...the ventilation was good...we didn't smell smokey afterwards. My daughter was less impressed with the bibimbap..it had quality ingredients (and the raw beef could be cooked in the very hot stone bowl)....but the hot sauce didn't taste right. It wasn't salty enough (per her). The 6 banchans were hit/miss. I really liked the kimchi and the cole slaw. The marinated wood ear mushrooms were unusual for a banchan, but I enjoyed it. The sweet potatoes had a funny after-taste, more tasteless than sweet. The bean sprouts and green beans added a nice crunch to my meal. After everything, the total came out to €63,50. Pretty good food, decent price. Worth going to.

All of the staff spoke English. We live in Manhattan and go to K-town often. This restaurant would hold its own there. We started off with excellent mandu and a surprisingly good tofu dish. We shared excellent bulgogi and bibimbop in a stone pot. We also ordered a side of very good kimchi. To my surprise, they served a mean affogato for dessert. The portions were sufficient and the prices were very reasonable. The only thong that was different from our other experiences with Korean food is that banchan were not included. Not a big deal. If you need a French food alternative, Mee is a great choice.

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.

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.

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.
