Ahssi - Paris 1er Arrondissement

Can only vouch for the beef and salmon bibimbaps - they're good enough that we've returned several times. But on our last and likely final visit we began to see evidence of the manager/owner's discourtesy toward both his staff and customers. Enough to dampen our...More

I came here with two family members and had a great experience. We were seated promptly and had no problem with service. I live in London and have tried a fair few Korean restaurants and there are none that top this. The food here is simple, authentic and well seasoned. I recommend the beef bimbimbap and the kimchi pancakes. We received free sides kimchi, sesame beansprouts & a seaweed dish. Overall we spent €49 which is great value for money. I was stuffed. Cheap and cheerful!

Went there with my wife who is Asian.We ordered typical Korean food, and the food served was actually quite good.However, service was lacking - no speaking, no cleaning the table without us asking, no nothing. This actually made the experience quite "stressful" (i know this may sound weird, but having to repeatedly request things that should be done naturally by the waiter is very unpleasant).For this reason I wouldn't return.

The restaurant was crowded and the owner really made full use of every inch of the restaurant space by arranging the tables so close to each other that we were trying real hard not to bang into our neighboring patrons when we settled down in our two-seater table! There is basically no privacy as what you said to your partner will be heard by the neighboring table! Given a choice, we would probably walk out to find another place. But we were too hungry and tired. Ordered kimchi jjigae and beef bibimbap. Everyone seemed to be ordering bibimbap... We did not have high expectations but still, the kimchi jjigae was the worst we had in Paris. Bland and no meat - it was just water with some vegetables and tofu. Luckily, the bibimbap was quite alright.. probably that was why everyone was ordering bibimbap. Lousy food. No service. Enough said.

Even if the street and even the whole district is crowded with Korean restaurant, this one might be my favourite. The food is really good and cheap, and quality is large enough. I especially like their jajjangmyeon and their bibimbap is nice as well. They also have menus that haveinteresting prices (so you can get some vegetables, soup etc).
