Chez Taeko

Tucked away in the lively Marché des Enfants Rouges, Chez Taeko is a true hidden gem for anyone craving authentic Japanese street food. I had the pleasure of trying their Gyu Don – tender, slow-cooked beef over perfectly cooked rice, it hit every umami note just right. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, even in the middle of a bustling market. You can feel the passion in every plate and every smile. Chez Taeko isn’t just a food spot – it’s an experience of flavor and great people.

The service is so horrible and bitchy. The woman with red/purple long hair started yelling at us you cut the queue in a crazy rude way because her colleague told us to sit. Horrible and mean and shouldn’t be working in a customer facing job. We were not cutting at all, her colleague made a table for us and told us to sit. Does the owner know how rude her staff is ? Horrible service will never come back. Don’t yell at customers because you are not organized. Go if you want to be abused verbally by a red haired rude woman. There are a million restaurants in Paris, I don’t want to be verbally abused without apology to get a meal. 17 years in Paris and this is the rudest waitress I ever had, congratulations.

Always a pleasure and a great experience eating at Chez Taeko or getting food to go. It’s super flavourful. The agedashi tofu has the perfect texture between crispy outside and soft inside. The fish is fresh for the maki. The sushi rice is sometimes a little warm and soft, though. Portions to price ratio is well done. The staff is very efficient.

Some of the best Japanese food! Incredibly tasty, fresh and well marinated! I have been going there for the past 9 years. Menu didn't change much over the years. Vegetable tempura is insanely good. Karaage is the best kind I had in Paris. It blows my mind every single time.

Ordered the wrong thing! Didn’t very much enjoy the Donburi Chicken Teryaki, it was served in a patty form with really huge bits of garlic/onions- I personally don’t like the huge chunks… Although, I tried my mom’s Bento Ebi Fry and jt was amazing! Highly recommend- if you know the restaurant in the Philippines called “Yabu” it tastes just like it! Staff is very kind, but slightly overpriced-

That’s my corner at 75003. First time try was on 2016,I always visited Chez Taeko when I stayed at Paris. C’est Bon~

No frills, easy going Japanese stall in this foodie market near the Marais! Love how unpretentious it is. The food is simple, fresh, quick, and affordable. The place does get quite busy at peak times but we went quite early and was able to get a table quite quickly. Definitely try the specials.

Very delicious authentic Japanese food the boss from Tokyo. We had a great time there. Arrived early to avoid crowds.
