Surprising and amazing

I'd never have thought to put kimchi and hummus together, but it works.

Good spicy food

The chicken style bento was very good and tasty but a little bit too sweet though. The combination with plantain was perfect because it softened the spicy mushrooms.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Tasty food, Good value for money

Original and tasty

The owner was very thoughtful, she explained the menu for us to know what to choose depending on our preferences. Everything we tried out was delicious, packed with flavor. It is great to find such fusion cuisine but veganized! Combining Lebanese & Korean specialties works really well. Will come back!

Pros: All vegan (or easily veganized), Original menu, Diverse and hearty food

Not for me

Korean/Lebanese fusion wasn't for me and I felt queasy for several hours afterwards. I love Korean food and Lebanese food but not together...

Interesting fusion

Really lovely owner took us through the meal options and explained what was spicy, sweet, salty etc so we had a good idea of what to eat. I loved the mushroom bowl, umami flavours and crispy texture were right up my street. Corndog was a little too much for me, but I mistakingly ordered it with sugar coating and tomato ketchup, which I wouldn't do again. Worth a vist if you like Korean food.

Pros: Unusual fusion of Korean and Lebanese , Helpful owner/friendly staff, Mushroom bowl was superb

Great flavours and textures

We loves eveything we had. The waitresses were adorable and made us feel very welcome. You can eat outside or in a corner near the restaurant. The corn dog may be too sweat for some people but you can ask it with no sugar and or ketchup. The bentos were full of colors and flavours, we especially liked the crispy mushroom, both the regular and spicy version. The inari sushi were also very tasty. I also took the yakgwa sando, a little biscuit with vegan chocolate spread and an almond, I loved ir. Will definitely come back!

Pros: Great food, flavours and textures, Nice people

Tasty, yet a bit greasy

I love this restaurant and have tested almost everything on the menu. The staff is absolutely the bestest and the cheffe Nicky is a wonderful person.

I definitely recommend the Inari and during winter, their black bean curry with some additional tteok.

However, as much as I love this restaurant, I often feel a bit stomach-upset afterwards because it can quickly get very greasy if you take several things. For instance, their tortilla are very tasty but super greasy, and same for the corn dog, and their vegan dumplings, or their burgers with deep friend mushrooms or falafels etc.

So be humble and taste one thing at a time💗It’s worth it!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Super friendly staff, very helpful and kind, Food you won’t taste anywhere else

Cons: Greasy, Non-vegan things aren’t very explicit imo

Great mix between Lebanon and Korea

Interesting cuisine, the perfect mix between Korean food and Lebanese food. It’s always a challenge to find the sweet spot to combine two totally different cultures but here you can go there blindly, it’s perfect !

Updated from previous review on 2022-07-30

Pros: Good mix from two cultures, The nicest staff !

Cons: A bit too fat - due to fried stuff

Concept unique et original

Petit restaurant libano-coréen où l’on mange en terrasse ou à emporter. Une dégustation de boulettes de champignons assaisonnées et épicées avec du bissap est offerte avant même de commander pour se faire une idée de la cuisine proposée ! Un large choix de plats si vous balancez entre un repas plutôt méditerranéen ou plutôt asiatique ou les deux d’ailleurs !!

Cool concept!

I’ve never come across Korean-Lebanese fusion food! I tried the vegan corn dog and the Gangnam Falafel Bowl. The vegan corn dog blew my mind! The vegan cheese was amazing, the dough was fresh, and the sausage was tasty. The bowl was also pretty tasty, although just a bit too oily for my taste.

Amazing

Amazing spot- went here three times when in Paris for a week. Non vegan family members LOVED it and were the ones who wanted to keep coming back. Love when I can introduce good vegan food to them❤️

Pros: Many vegan options, Friendly , So good

Hidden gem

If you like both Korean and Libanese kitchen, this fusion restaurant is a must-go in Paris. The owner is super kind and helpful and gives you an explanation about all their dishes. There aren’t any tables to sit down in the restaurant itself but if you ask the staff, they will lead you to a room upstairs which was transfigured in a seating area.
We had the champignon bowl (fried Champignons in a sweet onion sauce, hummus, kimchi, rice and salad) and the summer bowl (falafel, fried rice cakes, hummus, kimchi, noodles and salad). It’s a super interesting combination, which you will surely not find anywhere else. Another highlight of theirs is the vegan corndog! It’s absolutely delicious.

veggie burger extraordinaire

I’m a big fan of veggie burgers when the burger patty is made in-house rather than bought in. I have books of recipes for them too. Normally I shy away from falafel burgers as the patty is just a giant falafel and it gets very dry and boring. Not the case here. It had more than just falafel in it. Definitely the burger itself had some sort of nuts(?) kimchi, caramelised onions. Basically, something pickled, something savoury, something raw, something sweet, something crunchy, something gooey.
Top 3 veggie burgers of Paris and maybe it was #1.

Pros: tasty, interesting flavours , bold flavours but well balanced

Cons: a bit messy, takeout only

Lovely staff, amazing food. What more could you ask for?

My family had the vegetarian (not vegan) Gangnam Falafel bowl because they were craving falafel, but the other bowls looked amazing as well (and each was explained to us in advance of our ordering). As a vegetarian we rarely get to eat kimchi out in the wild, so we definitely relished (ha) the ability to have some (while in Paris, of all places)!

I had the Miss Houmous with a skewer of Teok to the Falafel, which was half fried tteokbokki and half falafel and just 100% amazing.

Fair warning that there are peanuts in the nut mix used in the bowls! But it can be modified if need be with care.

Pros: Good portion sizes, Mix of vegetables and sauces for strong flavor, Staff are super lovely

Cons: only outdoor seating (for now?)

Impec !

Accueil parfait. Pas mal de choix pour ce mini resto, plutôt fait pour emporter (mais possible de manger en terrasse s'il fait beau).
Menu plutôt libanais avec petites touches coréennes : en gros 4 bowls et un burger avec plusieurs choix de boissons et un dessert.

Pros: Accueil, Qualité, Vaisselle recyclable

Good value

We had ourselves delivered the two vegan bowls: Champignon Bowl and Summer Bowl.

The Champignon bowl consists of mushrooms fried in soy sauce, salad, rice, quinoa, kimchi, chickpeas, etc.
The Summer bowl comes with 3 falafels, 3 rice brochettes (although I got only 2), noodles, kimchi, hummus, etc.

Both bowls were copious and, as you can see, contain plenty of vegetables.
Beside the bowls, they do not have many other vegan options; but the menu is very concise, at the same time.

A good option if you want something a little bit different and filling!

Pros: good value, quick service

Cons: not all vegan
