Yatai ramen, Asian restaurant in Saint-Honoré district, Paris, France
Yatai Ramen is a Japanese restaurant in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré that prepares traditional ramen bowls with organic noodles and homemade tonkotsu broth. The kitchen focuses on quality ingredients and follows authentic Japanese cooking methods.
James Shi and his sister Vanessa opened the restaurant in 2021 following their experience working in Michelin-starred establishments. Their background in refined French and Japanese cuisine formed the foundation for the current concept.
The name references Japanese street food stalls and reflects the restaurant's commitment to authentic Japanese dining traditions. The setting conveys the feel of a traditional ramen shop, even though it sits in the heart of Paris.
The restaurant sits on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and opens every day, typically from 18:30. It is small and intimate, so booking ahead is wise, especially on weekends.
The menu blends French ingredients with Japanese cooking techniques, featuring specialty dishes like wagyu ramen and foie gras preparations. This unusual combination leverages the Paris location to unite the cuisines of both traditions.
