Kare - Restaurant Curry JaponaisB+Worth Trying
10 Rue Dauphine, 75006 Paris, France
· Japanese restaurant
· 4.7/5 Google (744 reviews)
Reservations · Delivery · Takeout
Cozy Japanese curry and ramen spot with friendly service and fair dine‑in prices; excellent curries, mixed ramen feedback, and serious complaints about delivery portions and discount policy disputes.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Kare delivers reliable Japanese comfort food with strong curry execution and crowd-pleasing karaage, supported by friendly, attentive service and charming riverside location near Pont Neuf. However, inconsistent ramen quality and delivery portion discrepancies prevent a higher grade, and the experience remains solidly neighborhood-focused rather than destination-worthy for serious diners.
Restaurant Summary
The room feels cozy and welcoming, tucked near the Seine with a steady hum of conversation. Staff are often praised as friendly and helpful, and one diner noted, "they even reheated our meals when plans changed." However, there are some review authenticity concerns suggesting certain reviews may be solicited or influenced. Cooking leans Japanese comfort: curries, ramen, and donburi done with straightforward, satisfying flavors. Curries earn the most love, while ramen draws mixed notes about broth depth and pork quality. If you want creative fireworks, this is more about warm, familiar plates than culinary theater. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly staples like chicken katsu curry, gyoza, rice bowls, and an illustrated menu. Portions are generous on-site, but be cautious with delivery, where multiple reviews flag smaller quantities than dine‑in.
