Udon Jubey Japanese Restaurant on Rue Sainte-Anne in Paris is a hidden gem that transports your taste buds straight to Japan. With a warm and inviting atmosphere, it provides an authentic dining experience that's hard to find outside of Japan itself.
The star of the show, of course, is the udon noodles. Made fresh in-house, they are a delight in every dish. Whether you opt for the classic Kitsune Udon or the flavorful Tempura Udon, each bowl is a masterclass in simplicity and taste. The noodles have the perfect chewiness, and the broths are rich and satisfying. The Tempura dishes are crispy perfection, and the sushi is fresh and expertly crafted.
The staff at Udon Jubey exudes hospitality and knowledge, always willing to guide you through the menu and make recommendations. The restaurant's minimalist décor allows you to focus on the flavors and your dining companions.
Prices are reasonable for Paris, considering the quality of food and the central location. Whether you're a seasoned udon enthusiast or a newcomer to Japanese cuisine, Udon Jubey is a must-visit. It's a slice of Japan in the heart of Paris that will leave you...
Read moreI used to like this little udon place but coming back a few years later it has so much changed. When we first arrive we are received by a waitress with a slight loath in her look and telling us where to sit with a condescending tone (whereas we are totally normal Asian customers even on a well dressed side).

Recap: get karaage / classic udon / sit by the entrance cuz...
