Not sure why our experience differed greatly from recent reviewers but yeah-we really enjoyed the food here-salty as it was. Service-meh-but I wasn't expecting anything other than the no-nonsense, minimal attention we got from the all-male severs in such a casual spot.

Famished after four hours of Louvre trekking, son and I whipped out our phones  to search for food nearby and Higuma was the winner for location and type of food (cold, gloomy Paris winter day). 

He ordered shoyu "lamen" set (ramen plus six gyoza), and I got chashu "lamen" by itself. With a carafe of tap water our tab was a reasonable €19.50! We both loved our ramen which was quite salty but we added chile oil and vinegar and the additions made my soup just perfect. The chashu roast pork slices were tender and flavorful and the soup had a healthy amount of bamboo shoots, bean sprouts  and scallions. I would return to Higuma in a heartbeat the next time I go to the Louvre.

Real Japanese Ramen is a thing. Higuma is not that thing. 

Weak broth, lame noodles, and flavors of disappointment were the three most memorable elements in a bowl of Higuma Shio Ramen featuring "house-made" noodles in a salt-based soup topped with a slice of roast pork, chopped leeks, and bean sprouts. Of course, you can eat it, but don't plan to enjoy it. There are better ramen options out there. Specifically, in Japan, of course, ... and in Paris, too.

Overcooked Gyoza Pork Dumplings with an inferior wrapper skin were as light on flavor as they were dark in color. My wife only ate one before leaving the rest for me to endure.

My favorite part of the meal was an almost-cold mug of Kirin Ichiban Draft Beer. Kudos to the chef.

This is not 1989. The excuse you can't expect tasty authentic ramen in Paris should no longer be acceptable. Higuma ramen was neither authentic or acceptable.

It's ok - not great, but surely not bad

After doing some sight-seeing we were pretty hungry and stumbled upon this place. We didn't have Ramen in a while, so we gave it a chance.

We went for two bowls of Miso Ramen, 7.50 Euro each and a couple of beers. Service was fine and the food arrived pretty quick.

Looked pretty good and tasted fine. Compared to Ramen in Japan it did lack a bit of spice and the broth was a bit on the light side. Noodles were good. It's not a bad bowl of Ramen, but if you know the real thing of course it won't hold up to it. But still good enough to be enjoyable.

Another plus: The place is dog-friendly and our doggy got a well deserved rest here.

Come here if you want Chinese noodles, not Japanese ramen. There's a difference between both the type of cuisine and the type of noodle. The service is quick here and tables are plentiful. But the food is just not good. We ordered the cold noodles and a miso ramen- this is not miso flavor at all. I don't even know what it is and I've had many miso ramens and miso soups throughout my life. The cold noodles taste like water even when dipped in the sauce that slid right off the noodles. The dumplings that came with the miso ramen for a deal was evidently Chinese dumplings and not gyoza. What's even more disappointing is that they were all stuck to each other so when I tried to peel one dumpling from another, it fell apart. Wish I went next door for some sushi instead.

This ramen place has to be shameful to call themselves selling ramen. Soup base is completely ridiculous (I believe it's MSG mixed with water). I came here because I was looking for something cheap and closer to the centre Paris. Oh well. Even noodles were not chewy. And the pork was cold and got so much fat.

Service was fast. So I didn't expect too much anyway. But if you only care about the cost, this should be a good place I guess. 8.5 euro with 5 pork shoulders and a bunch of ramen that you can never finish

Randomly enough, my father introduced me to this Japanese gem; it's a stone's throw away from his office and after my mother and I picked him up for lunch one day, he treated us to lunch there before we headed to the Louvres museum shortly after, seeing as it's only a few hundred yards from this place.

First notable thing upon entering the place: it's absolutely spotless. Clean but not sterile. It was style, but doesn't scream at you. It's very simple yet welcoming, very much like some of the ramen shops I've been to in Tokyo. I dig it. I happily sit and get excited.

Keeping it classic, I ordered up a bowl of beef ramen and a side of pork gyoza. And some tea. The waiter is very nice and the food arrived shortly after. First the gyoza which were succulent. The pork inside was moist and very flavorful; Unfortunately my parents had to try my portion as well and although I usually don't mind sharing, this time I did. They ate half of it. Bastards.

Then came the piping off bowl of delicious ramen. The broth was amazing and it come with all kinds of delicious things floating around in there; half an egg, scallions, noodles, slices of beef and various other things. It was amazing and easily Paris' best bowl of ramen one can find.

The food was delicious and the prices were low. I look forward to returning to Higuma on my next visit home to see the folks in Paris.

Ok, I didn't expect to have the best ramen in Paris or even the best Asian food anywhere but when my friend told me that this place was pretty good, I was more than happy to check it out. 

The place was pretty roomy with lots of tables towards the back which they sat us there. However, we wanted to change tables to be closer to the door since phone service was not the greatest and they were a little huffy on that. I kinda expected it so ignored it.  We sat down and I ordered the veggie ramen and my friend got the katsu. Both came out fairly quickly and pretty decent size. However, trying out so many ramen places in the past, this one just didn't do it for me. It was unmemorable to say the least, but hey, if you're in Paris and really hankering for some ramen, feel free to come here. Also keep in mind, the service is not the best here.

Craving some Asian food, I stopped into Higuma while window shopping along the Rue St. Honore.
This place at lunchtime on a weekday is crazy busy. There are tourists but I would say during the day, it's mostly locals.
The restaurant serves ramen, rice dishes and gyoza. I think it is run by Chinese people not Japanese as I had imagined. There are A-L-O-T of Chinese patrons here. Either Chinese families or Chinese individuals. I had a choice of menu in English, French or Chinese. I chose the French.

The traditional ramen that I ordered came out pretty quick. I didn't go for one of their set multiple item menus. Just give me the ramen.

You know what. It was pretty good. Decent size. A few slices of pork. Veggies. Decent broth. Very satisfying. The price is about 8 euros so by Paris prices, it's a deal.

If you're in the area and looking for a ramen house, check out Higuma.

Our group of three was very surprised to find this little gem during our Paris adventures. We dined here around 6pm on a Friday evening and were seated right away. The crowd appeared to be some tourists mixed in with locals. 

We ordered chicken curry, Katsu curry, and Shoyu ramen noodles. We also ordered an extra side of Gyoza. The Gyoza came out in a hot minute and were quite tasty, though not the best I have had. The skin of the Gyoza was pretty thin and the filling reasonable.  Both curry dishes were very flavorful and there was certainly no issue finishing every last drop. The curry was spicy but not overly hot and was very filling. The noodle soup arrived hot and the flavor was average. 

If in Paris again, we would definitely come back if looking for an Asian fix. In fact, we went to their other location the next night. Don't judge.
