Bistro Ramen Ryukishin

While people were queuing somewhere else, this hidden gem had a smaller wait and delivered one of the best ramens I’ve tried in my life. A small restaurant with big bold flavours, their ramen was thick and creamy, so different to everything I’ve tried before. 10/10

I’ve been here a few times. It’s nice. I like the people who work here and the ramen is good. But this was a different experience having had the unfortunate luck of having been seated next to a barbaric guest. Unfortunately the staff didn’t handle the situation as I think they should have. Personal computers and violent keyboard tapping that shakes the whole table is allowed and all I could do is change tables. Even though I had arrived before, was being polite and was having a lovely lunch until this incident. It’s supposed to be a Japanese place. I’m disappointed as I used to come here for the food but also for the ambiance. A 30€ ramen lunch where I was disrespected, not helped by staff and had to change tables just for a bit of peace… just isn’t worth it. Food is great if you don’t mind that sort of thing. I do though. So best of luck but not repeating the experience. I’m sure I will find another ramen restaurant that isn’t Also a co working for barbaric costumers who end up being more important than polite ones. Not very Japanese in culture.

The hot ramen was really good—the sesame and sesame oil gave it a nice, distinctive flavor. The fried dumplings were also excellent and definitely worth ordering.

Honestly too expensive for this kind of noddle, the broth is very basic with most of salty flavour, 2 slices of chicken breast and 1 slice of duck meat, little amount of noodle. I can get double amount and better taste for the same price anywhere in Paris if it’s not a Japanese restaurant

Small, cozy restaurant. We Booked in advance. Fast and good service. Good food also. We ordered both the clear and sesame broth ramen. Both were good. We also ordered the yuzu cheesecake which was very good.

My wife and I came to dine here on a Wednesday evening without a reservation and were luckily seated shortly. We were kindly greeted by who we later found out was the chef and sat right by the kitchen where we saw all the action. I ordered the thick broth ramen with house made chili oil and sesame paste and this was by far the best meal I had in Paris and dare I say.. maybe one of the best ramen bowls I’ve ever had in my life. It’s a bit heavier than my wife’s classic one with mussel oil but boy was I enjoying my ride to flavor town. Each bite and slurp was so heavenly and just the right amount of richness.. from the tender meats (2 birds (chicken & duck!) in 1 bowl), crunchy textures, & that amazing chicken broth, everything just complimented each other so well. I’m someone who loves a good crunch in my meal, and this one didn’t disappoint with the crunchy leek, chopped onions, and fresh bok choy! Ramen noodles were not too firm and not too soft, a perfect in between. I usually don’t like spicy (mild at the most) and anyone on the same boat doesn’t have to worry about that chili oil cause it only adds to the flavor without the burn. And that chicken broth… NEXT LEVEL! I had chicken broth ramen in Tokyo and though I love both, I might have to give extra brownie points for Ryukishin for the loaded party bowl and only 5 minute wait time to be seated on a busy night. We left completely satisfied and chef greeted us goodbye as we walked our happy, full bellies back to our hotel. Highly recommend for any ramen lover or first time visitor in Paris! You will not regret. Arigato!

Quite a ramen fan and been to many places worldwide. For 20 euros one would not expect such a small serving of ramen, the paper thin chicken / duck meat taste like those ready-made salad meat from supermarket, the use of raw coarsely chopped red onion pieces AND a slice of lemon are unusual for authentic Japanese ramen. Also uses spring onions instead of finely chopped Japanese leek. The noodles are average and on the soft side. The only saving grace is the pan fried gyoza. The ramen with thick soup is quite odd , the soup has the texture of salted cappuccino foam.

Edit: came back a year later to get the seasonal tomato ramen I was dreaming about all year (🤣) but sad to discover they changed the recipe. The broth is less rich, it felt like they added corn flour or some kind of thickener(??) I wasn’t a fan of the texture. I attached a photo so you can compare the color of the two. I hope they can bring back the vegan tomato ramen from before. It was a lot more flavorful. :( changing my rating from 5 stars to 4 because of this. Service was still great. ————————— Review from my first visit in 2024: A little pricey but really exceptional vegan ramen. Had the seasonal tomato vegan ramen with yummy toppings like asparagus and mushrooms, and the broth was so rich and creamy and flavorful. Might be the best vegan ramen I’ve ever had (even better than T’s TanTan in Tokyo which used to be my favorite). The vegetable tempura was also perfect, served with a special matcha sea salt. Service was lovely too. I’ll definitely be back!
