Kodawari Ramen (Tsukiji)

We discovered this little gem by chance, as our hotel was on the same street. On our first evening, the queue was incredibly long, so we decided to come back for lunch instead — and we’re glad we did. The food was excellent, and the interior is quirky and unique. It genuinely feels like stepping into a lively fish market, which makes the whole experience even more memorable. I would recommend avoiding peak hours, as the line can get quite long. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.

I’ve been to this place twice, so I can confidently share my opinion. There are only one no-meat-ramen. Even the fish options are made with meat broth, so I could only try the mushroom ramen and some appetizers The atmosphere is unique! However, the food and service were very disappointing. Despite arriving on time, I waited 30 minutes outside while others with later reservations were seated first. It felt unfair, as larger groups seemed to be prioritized The ramen was lukewarm, the mushrooms were cold, and the broth was overly dark. Prices are average for Paris, but the experience wasn’t worth waiting two hours in the online queue plus another 30 minutes outside. I wouldn’t recommend it.

The line here is always so long but it's definitely worth the wait, for a table of two we waited for around 45 minutes at 7pm. The ramen was phenomenal, the broth was so umami while being light as a lot of ramen broth is often salty. The fish broth was unique and the fish was sooo tender it's crazy. The noodles had a good al dente texture as well. Only small minor downside is that you get seated with strangers, and you may sit next to speakers that play sounds to make you feel like you're at a fish market. The dumplings temperature felt a bit lukewarm. I don't know how they did the decor, they put in a lot of effort that it's worth a mention. How'd all the fishes look so real? I loved every part of this restaurant.

Sooo yummy and sooo amazing! I had the most amazing ramen which was so flavorful. I was lucky enough to skip the line as I was alone and they managed to squeeze me in (a good tip for solo travelers!). The service was wonderful, they were very attentive and constantly checked up on me. The vibe is so cool with the fish market vibe and most importantly the food was out of this world!!!

Growing up in Hong Kong and traveling to Japan, I have always held a high standard for ramen. This was the best ramen experience I’ve had in Europe. I would heavily recommend people to come. It may not be for everyone but their fish broth is amazing and words simply can not describe it. However I believe that there is a cost for this experience as the seating was very awkward and tight.

An exceptional spot in Paris — probably the best ramen I’ve ever had in my life. The fact that we waited an hour and a half to get in didn’t bother us at all, because the reward of tasting that menu was absolutely worth it. I recommend it without hesitation. If I lived in Paris, I’d be there every week. A unique place with a distinctive concept and décor. The food is simply unforgettable. It’s worth the wait — just make sure to scan the QR code at the entrance to join the waiting list before getting in line.

Had a late dinner around 10pm on a Sunday and there were only a few parties ahead of us. We saw a massive line outside here all of Saturday and can see why. The ramen was delicious and the broth was exceptional. We had the sea bream ramen and the original and both had a very nice fishy flavour to it. The sea bream was a bit more intense. Highly recommend!

I wouldn't normally order fish ramen, but I gave it a try and it was better than I expected. The broth is flavorful but not overpowering. The atmosphere is unique. A 100% recommended experience!
