Maybe it was the selection of ramen that i ordered, but it was a bit too rich.<br><br>Possibly should have stuck to the classic choice.<br><br>Usually the ippudo brand is great, in Australia especially I am a huge fan.<br><br>Maybe just got unlucky with this one.<br><br>Service was great, no complaints.

Response from the owner

Great Ramen. The best I found in Paris so far. The broth was really good and so were the toppings, but a special callout to the perfectly cooked noodles.<br>I took the ”spicy” Ramen which was excellent, even though I would say it was particularly spicy.<br>Space is tight and tables close to each other, so not a place if you want to have a nice dinner for two.

Response from the owner

Dear Hardy, <br><br>Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed our ramen and the perfectly cooked noodles! We appreciate your feedback on the cozy atmosphere as well. <br>Looking forward to welcoming you back! <br><br>Ippudo Louvre Team

I felt really welcome and comfortable here.<br>We came for dinner on two evenings during our stay in Paris.<br>On the first day I had chicken shoyu, and on the second day I tried zaru ramen.<br>Both were light and tasty.<br>My husband had the Akamaru and was impressed that it tasted just like Ippudo in Japan.<br>They also have a kids’ menu!<br>My children really liked the fried dumplings.

Response from the owner

Dear Saya, <br><br>Thank you for your kind words! We’re so happy to hear that you felt welcome and enjoyed your meals with us. It’s wonderful that your family liked the kids’ menu too. We can’t wait to see you all again soon!<br><br>Ippudo Louvre Team

Delicious ramen and chicken rice. Came here on a Sunday night, not crowded, so easy to chat with friends. The restaurant is cozy and the service is good.

I'll keep it short : ramen was edible but definitely nothing worthy of a stop. It was watery, didn't have a lot of flavor, and why using green pepper in the spicy sauce goes beyond me (yes, it's a French twist but still, it adds a very sharp herbal contrast that doesn't mix well).<br><br>Compared to the other ippudo I've visited and reviewed (Tokyo, Osaka, San Francisco, NY east village, NY HK, Berkeley), this one is on the bottom of that list. They really need to get their solid to liquid ratio in a better place to at least bring some texture to the broth, according to tradition.

Response from the owner

Hello Michael, <br><br>Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're sorry to hear that our ramen did not meet your expectations and that the flavors didn't resonate with you. <br>We choose carefully our ingrédients and make our ramen according to the japanese tradition<br><br>Best regards, <br>The team at Ippudo Louvre

Long queue but worth the wait! One of the best ramen restaurants I have ever been to, between the broth, the noodles, the starters, drinks, everything was delicate and delicious.

Response from the owner

Dear Juliette, <br><br>Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad you found the wait worthwhile and enjoyed our ramen as well as the overall experience. It's great to know our offerings delight you. We look forward to welcoming you back soon :) <br><br>Ippudo Louvre Team

We went with three friends and preferred Akamaru, Karaka, Tori Shoyu. We also tried fried gyoza.<br><br>We think fried gyoza is a great starter with its sauce, it is not heavy or oily at all, it is very nice. We also liked the ramen very much. They were very tasty and did not bother us during our trip even after we were full. However, although we asked for spicy, they were not spicy at all, so it was like I was drinking chicken soup, especially with Tori.<br><br>The noodles they put in it are really incredible! We definitely recommend adding extra noodles, it was one of the most delicious noodles we have ever eaten.<br><br>The staff is very attentive and even let us charge our phones! It has a nice atmosphere and from what we understand from other customers inside, Japanese people also like to eat here ^^<br><br>We liked it, we recommend you to try it.

Response from the owner

Dear İsmail, <br><br>Thank you for this wonderful review of your experience at Ippudo Louvre! We are delighted to know you enjoyed our ramen and fried gyozas. It's great to see that our atmosphere resonated with you. We hope to delight your taste buds again soon with our offerings in Paris.<br><br>Ippudo Louvre Team

Decent ramen place the broth was not as elaborate as i have seen. Chicken buns were delicious. i would skip the octopus balls. mostly dough. decent but no repeat for me.

Response from the owner

One of the best ramens I had in Paris. Great/authentic flavors. And loved the fried octopus 🐙 you will have to wait outside (in our case 30m). Once inside, the service was fast and professional. The decor is simple (which is a positive thing; many ramen places in Paris make you feel like you are in Disneyland). Recommended!

Response from the owner

Bonjour Francisco Mortágua,<br><br>Thank you very much for your rate and review !<br>It will be a pleasure to welcome you again and serve you other of our specialities !<br><br>L'équipe Ippudo Louvre

I might have gone to rate it 3 stars but then I remembered the awesome fried octopus 🐙. It was my first time trying it and it was so good that I was craving for more.<br>Ramen was good but not the best. It was delicious but leaves you with a little that it could have been a bit better opinion in your mind.<br>The spicy ramen option to me wasn't that spicy and was actually quite mild and there is no sauce or anything else on the table that you could use to alter any of it.<br>Staff is helpful and can speak English as well if you're struggling with the French.<br>The medium option was what I'd expect if I said that I wanted nothing spicy so I wonder how the mild option would taste like.<br>If I have to go I'll go there for their starters and skip the main course of ramen for the next visit.<br>The drinks are just ok or maybe I found them more watery like when you add a syrup to the bottom of ice water.

We are from the states and we love Ippudo in NYC so decided to stop in here when we saw there was one in Paris! It was DELICIOUS. The dumplings are great, we ended up getting 2 orders. Anything with fried chicken is fantastic. My husband got the ramen that had the chicken and pork broth mixed together. We had never tasted ramen like it before. So sweet and flavorful. They gave us English menus and had great service.

Response from the owner

Dear Larissa Kim<br><br>Thank you for your feedback!We are delighted to see that you are a IPPUDO lover and that our staff made your evening pleasant. <br><br>See you soon in our ramen restaurant<br><br>L’équipe Ippudo Louvre

Waited in line for an hour before we got our table. Food arrived pretty quickly. This is a casual ramen place with quick turnover. Recommend going in pairs or solo because tables are small. The spicy pork broth was thick and delicious - loved the mushrooms. The veggie broth however lacked flavor and was boring. The desserts were amazing - get the chocolate one. Ramen can cost up to €19. Fun experience overall!

Response from the owner

Dear Sofia De la Mora<br><br>Thank your for taking the time to leave us a feedback! We are delighted to see that you loved our pork broth, all of our ramen broths are homemade. We would love to have you again!<br><br>See you soon<br><br>L’équipe Ippudo Louvre

A bowl of warm soup for the chilly weather. The broth was thick and the noodles were cooked to the right consistency. Flavour wise, I think there’s a little difference between what I’m used to in Asia countries, especially the egg. The egg yolk was not correctly cooked and just tasted like soy sauce with no sweetness.<br><br>Service wise, everything was great. We arrived before the restaurant opened and it got busy quite quickly so I recommend coming earlier if you don’t want to wait.

Response from the owner

Dear dolce bibobi<br><br>A huge thank you for your feedback ! We are delighted to see that you liked our ramen !You're right ! A bowl of soup is perfect for this chilly weather . Thank you for your comment about our Tamago egg, we will share it with the chef ! Hope to see you soon to make you try our japanese tapas, bao buns, gyozas etc ... <br><br>See you soon in the 1st arrondissement of Paris,<br><br>L’équipe Ippudo Louvre
