tonkotsu ramen in Paris
2 places for tonkotsu ramen in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.
- Hakata Choten — Louis, Malo Halna
Praised the delicate, 'melodic' tonkotsu broth typical of a pork-broth specialist, its harmony with the ultra-thin noodles, and the gyoza, which were as reliably delicious as frozen ones.
Heads up: The noodles are very thin and go soft quickly, so it's recommended to order the firmest noodle option (barikata); also suggested going for the black broth or special over the basic tonkotsu — noted that with gyoza added, it comes to about €25 per person, pricier than expected. - Mimi Ramen — Louis
Praised as having the thickest, most tender chashu of the day, chewy wavy noodles, and above-average menma, calling it 'the benchmark for Paris ramen.'
Heads up: Despite being tonkotsu, the broth tastes salty like a shio ramen and has a dairy-like quality, so the broth itself isn't special; the accompanying ginger was said to kill the broth's flavor. The vegetarian ramen was said to be weaker than at other spots. At €28 for two, it's about half the price of the previous shop.
