Time Out says

What’s the vibe?

After launching Ma Kitchen and Ahipoké, Korean chef Yoonsun Kim set up shop near the Canal Saint-Martin – and the quality hasn’t dipped one bit. Behind the little wooden door and pastel-pink-and-blue decor (think Formica tables and vintage furniture), she’s serving up a steady stream of delicious Asian fusion dishes.

What should I order?

Start with a selection of guabao (€7 each) – like the bulgogi version with BBQ-marinated beef, Korean mayo, pickled daikon, chives, sesame and cheddar. There’s also a great veggie option with organic tofu fried in cumin and curry, guacamole, coleslaw, sesame, and teriyaki sauce. You can also go for a dupbap – rice bowls topped with your choice of fish, meat or tofu (€16). To wash it all down, grab a bottle of soju (€16) – that sneaky Korean rice spirit that’s both smooth and dangerously easy to drink. 

Oh, and the service? Super friendly – always a big plus. If you’re in a rush, you can even take a little slice of Asia to go in a cute cardboard box.
