    Best udon ever. Broth, noodle, toppings..everything is perfect. Staff speaks good English and they are all Japanese. Makes me recall all good memories from Tokyo. Highly recommended to Asian foodies.

    As others have suggested, I too recommend the Niku Beef Udon. Just love this authentic Udon Bar. Plenty of soul, satisfying fare and great service

    Best Udon place in Europe!! It’s pretty much authentic, it makes me feel eating in Japan good Udon place. What I’ve eaten is TEMPURA HIYASHI(cold). Not only quality of Udon also TEMPURA is good!

    This place was great! Very authentic udon with a wide selection of hot, cold, and soup based to choose from - I loved the Niku Beef Udon that I ordered. Most chairs are high tops as a warning.

    Excellent udon. I really like Niku Oroshi Udon (beef dry udon with hot sauce to pour over). Fast service and good value for money. You'll have to queue a bit though.

    Possibly the best #udon in Europe. Heavenly is the Niku Oroshi Udon 🍜 Kickoff with a Tonkatsu (fried pork), you’ll have a serious relationship with that dish 😋

    Best Udon in town. Bukkaké ténpura udon was love at first bite for someone *points at self* who wasn't a fan of udon in the first place and now comes here biweekly.

    big Yes! Truly authentic. Tastes good and delicate. My fav: pork udon with warm sauce, extra egg, and extra wakame. Disappointed in the Kakuni (not tender) though. staff is a nice Japanese troup :)

    Make sure to come as soon as they open for lunch else you will have to wait for a bit. Their menu is not badly priced and comes with a filling chicken Karaage and Japanese omelette on the side

    Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Pretty pricy though. They do take-out, too!

    Classique udon was much nicer. Karage starter was also awesome. Great place for great udon.

    We had the beef udon and chicken karaage, both so delicious! Perfect for a cold night in Paris. A short wait as the place is so popular, but definitely worth it!

    If you need an udon alternative, try tonkatsu, tsunemono, and assorted tempura. All very delicious. BTW people looked like they were enjoying a lot of udon, too!

    Gyu don perfect, tempura also try the sake kit ! A bit Japanese cantina without charm, but it tastes sooooo good that will quickly forget about it!

    Really great udon. They have some vegetarian options, but they usually use fish sauce so be careful if you are strictly vegetarian.

    Well worth the long wait in line. Delicious tempura and Udon.

    Best udon noodles of Paris. My preferred are the ones served cold because they are more chewy, especially the Buta Shabu udon (pork, onions, sesame dressing).

    Udon with pork slices in miso soup was great! (The first one on the menu). 90% of customers here are Japanese, so you can trust this place!

    Very good authentic udon. Duck udon was delicious but porc and miso not so much. A bit expensive for the portion sizes.

    Really great udon, fairly priced, within walking distance of the Louvre -- what more could I ask? I'd visit this place even were I not desperately hungry after hours of art immersion.

    Get the tonjiru udon. They flavor it with yuzu which brightens the broth

    The udon is pretty good but based on Asian standard it is only okay. For €18 I had a tempura udon which is just udon with two tempura shrimps, not worth the money in my opinion.

    Duck udon was great. Wait though for 10 min before eating - it tastes better when not overly warm.
