Jium — Restaurant in Paris

The restaurant is not very big, most likely you wont get a table without a reservation. It's a creative Korean food restaurant that isn't quite like traditional Korean resto, for example, they don't serve the small plates of kimchi before the meal, and their rice isn't served in the traditoonal korean metal bowls, but on beautiful porcelain plates. We ordered the kimchi pancake, which was so big it could almost be a main dish, we also ordered the kimchi pork soup and the stir-fry beef (with mushroom, onion, fired with sweet soya sauce, super delicious!!) The menu seems to change often, last time we were here there was crab tempura and Japchae as entree, this time they were gone...

Maybe it is catered for the local’s taste. No spice...

Jium is hands down my favorite Korean restaurant in Paris - you can tell they use very high quality, fresh ingredients because everything is well-seasoned and never too heavy or greasy. The staff and owners are always super kind and welcoming. They have a menu that changes a bit with the seasons, so it’s a new experience every time. I especially recommend the haemulpajeon 해물파전 (more than enough to share between two people as an appetizer), the jaeyukbokkeum 제육볶음 and gangdoenjang bibimbap 강된장 비빔밥, and the riz au lait (my absolute favorite)! A must visit if you are craving Korean food or want to try Korean food for the...
