The beef bibimbap was good — well-prepared and flavorful. The spicy seafood jjampong had all the right ingredients but the broth lacked some depth of flavor. Service was good, and overall it was a pleasant dining experience.

Korean restaurant, they sat us down in the basement, which was ok. Food is really good, but a bit more expensive compared to the cheaper places around it. That means no waiting time! In the basement you dont have any internet connection! Be aware. We had the kimchi jjigae and some korean kimchi pancakes, which were very good!

The beef kimchi soup was good but a bit salty to my taste. The spicy chicken wasn’t spicy or fried enough. Otherwise it was tender and flavorful Service was friendly and prompt.

I’ve been living in Korea for a few years now and this is my first time eating something this bad. I ordered bulgogi with rice and it was served in less than 5 minutes which indicates that everything was just ready to be microwaved. I didn’t expect the taste to be the same as the original bulgogi but this one had no taste and was very salty. It’s salty to the point you can’t enjoy your meal at all. My boyfriend had kimchi jjigae which was very salty as well. He tried to add water but it remained very salty. The kimchi itself had no taste at all. Everyone (not only Korean people) would think this doesn’t taste good.

Indulge in Parisian authenticity at this hidden gem, where the flavors of Korea shine through in every bite of their delectable jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. The owners and staff go above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience, making every visit feel like a warm welcome.

Had high hopes for this place. We have a favourite around the corner which unfortunately was closed from new years. We had walked past this place a couple of times. We thought we’d try two Korean staples Yangnyeom chicken Kimchi Jigae General Korean accompaniments - usually in Korea or more authentic restaurants they come out with dishes and often in abundance. We got two tiny cubes of carrot and radish pickle (jang-ajji) That’s it. Think an 1/5 of a teaspoon size of each. Korean fried chicken aka Yangnyeom chicken. Not spicy but it’s Paris so no surprises there. However the chicken was fried earlier and then reheated later. So it was both soggy and tough. Kimchi Jigae - it’s a kimchi stew. Or it’s supposed to be. It was watery and instead of a kimchi stew we got basically a cabbage stew. The pork tasted really nice but the rest of the stew was bland. There was no heat, no umami, no kimchi flavour at all. Had to put nearly a quarter bottle of gochujang in there for it to vaguely taste like it was supposed to. There’s so much good Korean in the area - literally in the same block. Yet this one is always busy for some weird reason. Go somewhere else for authentic Korean food.

Right in the japanese district, Chikoja is a great spot if you are craving for corean OG dishes during your Parisian trip. Decent serving staff, plenty seats in clean settings. Fried chicken was ok-ish, would have liked a bit more crisp and juicier chicken. Thumbs up for the kimchi pancake! Bibimbap was tasty, stingy on the meat though.

If you want an authentic Korean food experience, then I wouldn't recommend it. The food was average- the fried chicken was a bit soggy, the pancake was not crispy, but the kimchi noodle was okay. The food was not bad, but not good or memorable as well. There are definitely better choices in Paris. 6/10

We weren't too impressed with this place when we came here but we came in the early evening because every other restaurant was temporarily closed until 6 or 7 PM. However after trying the food, it's not bad. The kimchi bokkumbap didn't look too aesthetically pleasing and the rice was a little bland, but the flavors were definitely there. The dukboki itself isn't anything to brag about although the cheese they use is really good! Service is very fast. Portions are small and prices are a little on the higher end. Keep in mind I'm comparing to restaurants in Seoul and Los Angeles. In summary, if you want something quick or if you're looking for Korean food at a weird time, this place isn't too bad. However if you care a lot for the taste, try one of the other restaurants in the area if they're open. After leaving this place, I want to give it one more shot because we didn't try any of their Korean Chinese food which is what they pride themselves in.

One comfortable place. It is a typical korean restaurant. The waiter can speak English and friendly. I ordered one of their rice and beef set menu and one hot-plated bibimbap. The taste of the beef set menu is just so so. Should try the hot bibimbap, it is delicious. They are both on reasonable price.

We felt lucky to find this place, and it was close to our hotel. We ordered two bento boxes, which were quite reasonable and delicious.

I was in the area late Saturday afternoon and was looking for a hot bowl of ramen to counteract the grey, rainy day. Having tested a few ramen places along the block, I had an idea of where to go, but unfortunately there was a line out the door and around the block of my two favorite restaurants on this street (and my partner was not enthused about waiting in the rain). Two options remained: one Japanese place with no clientele, and this Korean place with no line, which was starting to fill up. We were greeted warmly, and ushered to a table squeezed between two other couples, though there were lots of other empty tables where we wouldn't have been in close quarters. The food arrived quickly: I chose a pork ramen noodle dish and my partner a bibimbap, both of which were overly salted and not incredibly fresh. By the end of the meal we both felt heavy but not satiated. I wished it were better, for the sake of the kind staff, but sadly I can't recommend Chikoja.

A bizarre experience to say the least. We were the last customers of the evening according to the owner, yet more people kept coming in. This place is in the 1st arrondissement yet it's not really. Japanese restaurant. It's not Korean either. It's more of an Asian noodle shop. The braised beef noodle soup was authentic with flavor profiles matching those of restaurants in Chinatown. The gyoza or potstickers feel like they were of the frozen variety. The overall vibe was good, but not great. I will say that it is interesting to see a Chinese person running a Japanese noodle shop while speaking French. My only complaint is the owner probably shouldn't be discussing their food ordering issues in front if the customers, even if it's in a different language as you never know what languages your customers might speak.

I just wanted Korean food but being New Year's Eve, everything was closing up early. Starting to come down with a cold, I just wanted as spicy soup. They didn't have kimchee jigsaw so I got the kampong. It was pretty. They made sure to add the dried wood ears and there was shrimp, squid and scallop in it. Only disappointment is that the broth tasted meat based but there were no pork pieces and the few pieces of seafood obviously weren't boiled together to create the broth. The kimchee was terrible - too fresh and overly salty. And since when is kimchee or picked sweet radish a side that's charged? The interior is pretty and service is accommodating but only the owner and one girl kind of spoken Korean.

Don't get the beef bulgogi - worst bulgogi I've ever had! So plain and just not a pleasing taste. The bento box I got was kind of cold, didn't taste fresh. However my husband got their beef broth ramen, that was the only reason for the good stars. If you like salty the ramen was amazing!!!

When I saw Korean and Chinese both on the restaurant sign I knew we had to go in. Inside I was not dissapointed. One of the cooks was taking a break having exactly what I was looking for - jajamyung. Although not as good as I would get it korea or in the States, it did the trick. Don't even care I am in Paris and probably should have something Parisian. For lunch on this day I felt back at home. I'll definitely be back.

Place is a little bigger (two stories) than other restaurants in the vicinity so it's easier to find an empty table. We picked here for a friday evening which helps a lot. Since it's a mix of different Asian kitchens has a taste of its own (It's a mix not a fusion). We tried most of the stuff. Entrances was good except 4 season raviolis, they look cool but too oily. Also pancakes was not special. Gyozas were ok, kimchi was very good. They should have a little more main courses. There is lots of small dishes to try but main courses are limited. Though plates were keep coming to our table like a busy station, i peeked at other tables and see most people prefers noodles or bento boxes. maybe they care about their health more than us, maybe it's the thing to go for this restaurant. Service was good, staff was friendly, prices are reasonable. It's a good place to go with your friends before going out for drinks.

Just had lunch there. Small Korean/Chinese style restaurant within 5 minutes from the Lourve. Decent Korean/Chinese style noodle dishes and appetizers. Reasonable prices and fast service. Had better quality food in the states but overall not bad for Paris. Really nice to be next door to a Korean grocery selling sojo.
