Kodawari Ramen is a super unique ramen spot in terms of both ambiance/aesthetic and dishes - I have never been anywhere quite like it. The inside is decorated to make you feel like you are in a Japanese fish market - and they have it down! From the fake fish in Styrofoam boxes to the backtrack recording of an actual fishmarket, kodawari transports you from france to japan. The servers are extremely fun and friendly. The flavors of ramen were nothing I had ever tried before - I had the lobster gravy ramen. It was a dry/non-soup ramen covered in a thick and creamy sauce with a unique umami flavor to it. It was also the cheapest lobster ramen I have ever had (in comparison to the US that is). I loved how different it was to anything I had had before. Definitely a cool and yummy experience!

Wow! Who would have thought you would find a great ramen in Paris, France! It was a small place but the ramen was tasty. Service was a tad bit slow and we had to flag our wait staff down to get out our check. But overall it was good.

My mother and I came to Paris for a girls trip and Kodawari Ramen was on the top of her list to eat at. It did not disappoint! The atmosphere was authentic and we felt like we were at an Asian street market. Our server was attentive, pleasant, and cheerful. The food was quick to come out and was delicious. We will definitely be back.

Ramen was great, had the classic. Chicken rice app was really good, pork belly app was also delicious however slightly on the salty side. The sake mojito was fantastic and the sesame dessert was amazing. Desserts change frequently. Service was fantastic. Small place, great vibes, we sat at a large table with many other guests. Long wait, recommend making a reservation prior to arrival !

Love the experience and the food. Can't believe I went to Paris and our best meal was Japanese but the quality of the ingredients and preparation are top notch and worth the wait. Also the atmosphere they have created there transports you to the alleys of Tokyo...very fun and delicious experience not to be missed if you love ramen.

The restaurant was recommended by a friend that previously visited Paris. I was told about ramen and sardines and wanted to try it out! There is a QR code on the front window to reserve your spot on the wait list. We were estimated a wait time of 15 minutes, but we did not get seated until 35 minutes later. The restaurant is set up like a fish market and there is not much personal space. There is bench seating and we were seated with another group of diners. We started with the Kodawari Gyoza and Namero Don. The gyoza was a bit different from what we have in the US but it was good and had some good spice to it. The Namero Don was also a good starter and was something I haven't tried before. I ordered the Sardine Bomb Ramen which came with fillets of sardine, pork, and an egg. The broth was strong and the sardine seemed to be too much for me. If you love sardines, this would be the bowl for you! Overall, this place hit the spot for my ramen fix, but I would come by to try the other dishes. If you like sitting up close and personal with others, this would be your place!

Super busy because it is super cute with good tasting food. Scan the QR code on restaurant window to put yourself in queue for seating. We had the edamame, cucumber and gyoza appetizer.!Gyoza diff then I had before- edges not pinched together which makes it hard to eat. We cut in half with spoon and ate off of spoon. This alone with the other apps is a meal. Two of us hat the classic with chef add on. Super yummy- my husband said too fishy but to me, perfect! We shared the desserts. I preferred then coffee ice-cream praline one vs the trompe-l'œil clam one. Worth the wait!

My girlfriend and I tried both kodawari ramen. This one specializes in seafood ramen as opposed to meat based broth. My girlfriend thought the seafood one had better flavoring. Admittedly the ingredients were very fresh, but the meat broth is jus more to my liking. The seafood themed one also has an extremely fishy smell. Broth is super light while still keeping a very flavorful umami. Very important to note they use this app called skeepit that has a radius of 3 miles. If you are able to download it early and get into the virtual que it'll save you a lot of time and headache. The wait is also pretty long (in the hours duration). Ramen is pretty authentic especially for France. It's on par with a relatively decent ramen in Japan I think. Worth the visit if you're looking for Michelin places in France. Highly recommend you doing the chef recommendations for the ramen.

The place was cozy and very intimate. I loved that I could sit at the bar and watch the chefs prepare. So much attention to detail was given to the food and presentation. The drinks were really refreshing and light. Pairs well with the ramen that was full of flavor. Noodles were chewy and had a good bite to it, cooked perfectly. Me and a friend shared one bowl and it was just the right amt for a light bite. So good for a cold day. I highly recommend it. The service was awesome, our server was very attentive and super nice.
