Japanese restaurants have experienced a spectacular boom in recent years in Paris, with a profusion of traditional and modern cuisines offered by talented chefs. If you’re a fan of Japanese cuisine and looking to satisfy your taste buds with delicious dishes, here’s a list of the best Japanese restaurants in Paris.
Hakata Choten
We know the 1st and 2nd arrondissement for their high concentration of excellent Asian culinary spots. Between Rue Saint-Anne and Rue des Petits-Champs, Japanese restaurants are a showcase for the culture of the land of the rising sun, and everyone jealously guards their own favorite address. Our favorite is Hakata Choten, an intimate and charming establishment that has made ramen and gyozas its specialty. We’ll show you!
Hakata Choten – 53, rue des Petits-Champs and 16, rue de la Grande Truanderie, 75001
Shinjuku
Shinjuku is a culinary treasure trove where Japanese home cooking takes center stage. Here, there are no set menus, no cheese skewers or cabbage salads, but a changing menu that explores the best traditional dishes of the Japanese archipelago. Come with us to discover this former Parisian bistro, transformed into a vibrant Tribute to the culture of the Land of the Rising Sun.
Shinjuku – 52 rue Concorcet, 75009
Izumi
Renowned as the sushi bar par excellence, Izumi delights residents of Batignolles and beyond with its innovative concept and delicious sushi plates. With exceptionally fresh ingredients and the precision of our chefs, each dish is prepared with the purest respect for Japanese tradition! An address not to be missed, to be carefully recorded in your notebook!
Izumi – 55, boulevard des Batignolles, 75008
Noori
It’s hard for us to miss restaurant Noori recently opened in the heart of the rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin . In this stall, decorated like an authentic Japanese tavern, you’ll be able to sample an astonishing dish, commonly known as ” tacosushi “, an unusual fusion – you guessed it – between taco and sushi.
Noori – 18-20, rue du Faubourg Saint-Martin, 75010
Kibo No Ki
In the heart of the 8th arrondissement and the Madeleine district nestles the discreet storefront of Kibo No Ki. Colorful decor, a change of scenery and a fun concept: the address has many attributes that almost make us forget that it also serves some of the best ramen in the capital.
Kibo No Ki – 14, rue Vignon, 75009
Kodawari Ramen
Walking into this Japanese-style restaurant, you’d almost think Odéon was the neighboring district of Shibuya. Japan-loving chef Jean-Baptiste Meunier founded this ramen institution in the capital. The decor, based on yokocho (alleys housing bars and small restaurants), promises an immersion in both flavor and atmosphere.
Kodawari Ramen – Yokocho, 29 Rue Mazarine, 75006 and Kodawari Ramen – Tsukiji, 12 Rue de Richelieu, 75001
Enni Udon
In Paris’ prestigious Triangle d’Or nestles the highly authentic shop of Enni Udon specializing in udon, thick noodles made with soft wheat flour, this 8th arrondissement establishment will welcome you to spend a timeless gourmet moment .
