Seoul Mama, Korean restaurant in Vaugirard, Paris, France

The restaurant was founded in 2018 by Indian chef Manoj Sharma and Korean-born Sangmi Lee. The project later expanded to a second location near Luxembourg Gardens.
The restaurant brings Korean cuisine to Paris through dishes like bibimbap, mandu dumplings, and kimchi balls. These preparations blend traditional Korean flavors with French regional ingredients and meat cuts.
The restaurant welcomes guests Monday through Saturday during both lunch and dinner service. Main courses are priced moderately, and it is advisable to reserve ahead, especially on weekends.
