A new favorite in Paris! The restaurant is small—probably no more than 30 seats—but that makes it all the more special. We sat at the bar overlooking the tiny open kitchen, which was a real treat: watching the chefs work with such calm precision while preparing the two set menus (three courses). We decided to try both menus, which was the right choice to savor the full range of dishes. Highlights included sashimi with Thai green sauce, stuffed courgettes, fried bread with shrimp, and grilled corn in a delicate white sauce. Every dish was prepared with great care, revealing layers of flavor that came together beautifully. The mains were noodles—one with fish, the other with beetroot—each carrying a subtle smokiness that appeared throughout the menu. The wine list is short, with six options by the glass, but thoughtfully chosen to complement the dishes. At €35 for the menu (€43 with dessert), the value for this level of quality is exceptional. We had the first seating (1.5 hours), but it never felt rushed thanks to the warm and attentive service. Truly, a new favorite in Paris.

Everything was great. They have both a regular and a vegetarian menu. I went for the veggie one, and it was tasty, wholesome, and satisfying. The food is Korean at heart, prepared with French cooking techniques, so it looks beautiful and feels elevated without being too fancy. One dish that stood out was my friend’s squid ink noodles. It arrived as a colorful bowl with eight neatly arranged ingredients. After mixing, the whole bowl turned black, and each bite became a surprise since you couldn’t see what you were eating. My friend thought it was clever and fun. The wine was perfect. The chef explained everything in both French and English. The vibe was cute and cozy, and the waiter was very attentive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something a little different, creative, and welcoming.

Tiny restaurant with a wonderful set-price/prix fixe menu (35€ for three courses, which ends with a homemade noodle dish) plus little options to add on. Wonderful wine/beverage list. Such care and thought put into each dish. Korean at base, but with a contemporary twist. Each dish surprised and delighted. The staff is caring. It's very loud because of the small size, but so worth it. I'd go back once a month just to see what they're doing with seasonal ingredients and their creativity and skill. In July, the menu was bursting with the juiciest red tomatoes, herbs, a cold noodle dish with green tomatoes. Then strawberry sorbet for dessert. Mostly vegetarian/pescatarian. No meat on the menu the night we were there, and I was so glad!

Outstanding dining experience. Modern, savory Korean influence dishes served in a small welcoming environment. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Booking is recommended and do so well in advance: the restaurant is tiny.

Superb assortment of fusion french korean dishes. The set menu is really good value for 35 euros and was delicious. Highly recommend getting the prawn toast and the sashimi. The strawberry cheese sorbet was a lovely addition too. Make sure to reserve a spot since this place books out quickly. Overall would say this is a repeatable spot!

An absolute masterpiece from Esu Lee; I’m so excited for the success of it. And I can’t believe the price point for the quality and quantity of the prix fixe menu. We were lucky enough to get the one bar seat so we could watch the kitchen magic - everything is done with so much care and intention. The flavors are absolutely unreal — I’m still dreaming of the cold noodles and the dumplings. If you can get a table, you will absolutely not be disappointed. A sleeper is the strawberry sorbet!! It’s INSANE?! Perfect perfect meal.

Great food, great staff, great moment. Really liked the way the menu is structured, starting with a very minimalist starter or amuse bouche, then moving to a more complex plate - complex flavors and that required several preparations and finishing with a confort food style plate of goodness. Yummy! 🤤

Incredible concept, execution and vibe here from chef and team at Jip. This small space only has a few tables but they set the pacing perfectly for an hour and half meal. The starters were standout for us with the prawn tasting like the most elevated fish stick you have ever had, the best Sashimi, and sweet potato dumplings were excellent. Wish we could order more! Only advice for ordering is to think twice on if you like squid ink, definitely takes over the dish and turns everything black!
