Owner was very friendly and the food was very good!
I am willing to come back when I revisit Paris

Omg! So good. It's a small hole in the wall but so glad we found this place. It's not expensive either. The Korean pancake with ice cream was so yummy!!!!

Very very great Korean food. It is relatively cheap but delicious. It also has menus with different language. It is convenient for foreign tourists to go.

Delicious Korean food found here! The bibimbap and kimchi were the best I have ever had. The seats are very limited but the owner works very hard to turn them over efficiently. The food looked and smelled so good that we forgot to take any pictures. Be prepared for spice but they have pickled radish to cool everything down.

Prepare to be hustled in and hustled out.
They are no-nonsense, delicious Korean food, but emphasis on the no-nonsense part. No frivolousness here! Just quick service, tasty Korean cuisine, and a quick check to push you out for the next customer.

Four stars, but let's be clear: this is simple, no frills Korean food. It's not the best Korean food you can get in the 15th, but the price is unbeatable for lunch.

For 10 - 13 Euro, depending on your choice, you'll get a starter (perhaps salad and mandu or kimchi jeon), a main dish (dolsot bibimbap, kimchi jiggae, bossam) and a desert (fruit salad, hoddeok, ice cream).

In addition the staff is efficient but friendly, and despite most not being Korean they speak Korean, French, and even passable English if you're struggling.

Lunch is busy, so get there before 1:00 if you don't want to wait. No credit cards, cash or cheque only.

Visiting Paris during its winter season, we felt a need for some warm soup on a cold and windy day. Ordered a soon dooboo and kimchi bokum (spicy tofu and kimchi fried rice). The soup was fine, not the best but tolerable. The rice that comes with the soup was cooked with too much water.  

The manager/owner guy seemed like a nice guy (didn't serve our table, served the party next to us) but he kept scolding his workers in Korean. Kind of amusing to watch since he scolds them in the language that others can't understand in but the patrons around still gets the gist of what is happening.  Overall, a very interesting Korean cuisine experience in Paris. 

Just a little tip, unlike the normal Korean affair, this place does serve a whole three course meal for dinner whereas if you go in for lunch, they do have the option of only ordering the main course.

Small and busy korean restaurant if you wish to eat well and quickly. Ask the menu with photos if you do not know korean food. 

Bottled water on the tables are a nice touch.

A bit fat and not the most delicate food around though. Think of it as a korean fast food, rather than a gastronomic restaurant.

I used to eat there twice a week for a year before I got fed up.

33355adf-a50d-4097-9af9-f6583c9e57d9

The food was average, and can't complain since the price was very reasonable. 

But I had the worst table service in a long time! The servers were rude, arrogant and wouldn't let us even eat the cake we had brought in for our friends birthday (we had called earlier to make sure it was ok, and they said yes). 

Basically a below average place to eat, but made very unpleasant by the behaviour of the staff and owners.

1f2b395b-ebc8-4593-b327-d4b5febf2760

This was the worst cramped restaurant i've ever been.
Staff doesn't speak a word of english, made bad faces at me and my bf when we tried asking for an english menu. People who came in after us were helped before us (Maybe because they were Korean?). Got fed up with their arrogant behavior and decided to get up and leave. Waste of time going here and definitely not worth your money.
