Ramen in Paris
Your Paris passport
Tap Been there on the spots you’ve been to.See passport →
In Paris, ramen has a historic address: rue Sainte-Anne and the streets around the Opéra, where Japanese cooking has clustered for decades. The selection starts there, then moves on to Pigalle, the 14th arrondissement and rooms dressed up as Tokyo alleys. We read hundreds of reviews and kept the 10 worth the trip, from tsukemen to a vegan sesame paitan, by way of miso and shoyu. No podium: here you choose by neighborhood and by style.
Bistro Ramen Ryukishin
A small, intimate spot near Sainte-Anne, known for its vegan sesame paitan. Price is the most common caveat, not the food.

The paitan here is good enough that I get why people call it Paris's best ramen.
Gaijin Ramen
It has two locations in Paris, with a warm, well-kept setting. Noise at peak times is the most common gripe, not the food.

You can tell whoever's cooking knows Japanese food and isn't afraid to add a personal touch.
Kodawari Ramen
It has two locations in Paris and a loyal following that often praises the broth's originality. The queue is the most recurring complaint, not the food.

The fish-based broth is unlike any ramen broth I've had — rich, full of character, noodles with just the right bite.
Ramen Kōdō
Decorated like a Japanese alleyway, with consistently positive feedback from customers. Occasional mentions of over-floured karaage or broth that misses the mark are the exception, not the rule.

Creamy broth, generous toppings put together with care, and an egg that melts in your mouth — nothing missing.
Ramen Wang
An open kitchen with counter seating in the 14th arrondissement, with careful plating. The house's habit of asking diners to free up the table soon after eating is the most common gripe.
Tends to ask diners to free up the table soon after finishing, which bothers some customers.

I've had ramen in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, and Ramen Wang still caught me off guard.
Takesan Donabe Ramen
Private rooms give the place an intimate feel near the Opéra. Isolated reports of over-seasoning or a service hiccup don't dent the overall impression, which is overwhelmingly enthusiastic.

The house-made miso and thick broth served in the donabe are a lesson in how good ramen should be.
TonTon Ramen
An open kitchen and warm, authentic welcome define the experience. Portion size relative to price is the most common caveat.
Portions are seen as small for the price.

Ordered the Miso Especial and the broth came well-seasoned and full of flavor — a nice find.
Tosakko Ramen
A themed space with lanterns and wood, praised for its Japanese atmosphere. One isolated cancelled-reservation incident stands out against an otherwise consistent track record.

The tonkotsu has body without going overboard on salt, and the marinated egg deserves its own mention.
Ukiyo Ramen
A private room and a cozy feel in Pigalle. Most customers see the higher price as justified, though a minority finds it overpriced.

You can taste the quality of the pork and chicken from the first bite — a cut above the Paris average.
Yamanashi Ramen
A small, simple place that many customers and travelers call the best ramen they've ever had. The experience can vary with the mood of the owner, who cooks and serves alone.
Service can vary day to day, since the owner cooks and serves alone.

After days of the same food in Paris, this bowl hit the spot — the pork was incredibly tender.
A selection, not a ranking. We read thousands of reviews with a little help from AI and keep only the houses worth the trip.
