What people say

"I’ve been to this place twice, so I can confidently share my opinion. There are only one no-meat-ramen. Even the fish options are made with meat broth, so I could only try the mushroom ramen and some appetizers The atmosphere is unique! However, the food and service were very disappointing. Despite arriving on time, I waited 30 minutes outside while others with later reservations were seated first. It felt unfair, as larger groups seemed to be prioritized The ramen was lukewarm, the mushrooms were cold, and the broth was overly dark. Prices are average for Paris, but the experience wasn’t worth waiting two hours in the online queue plus another 30 minutes outside. I wouldn’t recommend it."
