Japanese Restaurant in Seine-et-Marne
Looking for a Japanese restaurant in Seine-et-Marne that offers homemade dishes, fresh ingredients and recipes true to Japanese tradition? Welcome to Yoki Ramen, in Melun. Since opening, we have had one clear mission: to bring the people of the 77 department an authentic Japanese dining experience with no compromise on ingredient quality or artisan craftsmanship.
The Seine-et-Marne department is home to many restaurants, yet very few Japanese establishments serve ramen made with a twelve-hour broth, sushi prepared to order and a menu as varied as it is generous. Yoki Ramen fills that gap by settling in the heart of the department's capital, Melun — a strategic location easily accessible from across southern Ile-de-France.
Whether you live in Melun, Dammarie-les-Lys, Le Mee-sur-Seine, Fontainebleau or Savigny-le-Temple, Yoki Ramen is the Japanese restaurant in the 77 that is worth the trip. Discover why hundreds of customers trust us every week.

Yoki Ramen, Your Japanese Restaurant in the Heart of Melun
Our restaurant is located at 31 Rue du General de Gaulle, right in the centre of Melun. The location was carefully chosen: Rue du General de Gaulle is one of the main streets in town, easy to find and accessible whether you come by car, train or on foot.
Melun station, served by the RER D and Transilien R lines, is just a short walk away. Travellers from Paris-Gare-de-Lyon can reach Melun in roughly 25 minutes, making Yoki Ramen a convenient stop even for Parisians seeking outstanding ramen. If you drive, several car parks are nearby, and on-street parking is generally easy, especially during evenings and weekends.
Inside, the atmosphere is warm and refined. Our decor draws inspiration from Japanese izakayas — cosy neighbourhood restaurants where people gather to share a meal in a friendly setting. Dark tones, natural wood and golden accents create an intimate space that transports our guests to Tokyo for the duration of a meal. Whether you come alone for a quick lunch or with family for a relaxed dinner, you will feel right at home.
Authentic Japanese Cuisine in the 77
At Yoki Ramen, the menu goes well beyond ramen, even though this iconic dish remains our pride. Our broths \u2014 tonkotsu, shoyu, miso \u2014 are prepared daily from pork bones, fresh vegetables and a carefully measured blend of spices. The twelve-hour slow cook extracts every layer of flavour and gives our soups that velvety texture and unmistakable umami taste that define our signature. Browse our ramen to discover the full range of recipes.
Beyond ramen, our menu features a selection of our sushi and maki prepared to order, with fresh fish delivered several times a week. Our nigiri, sashimi and maki are crafted following traditional techniques, with house-seasoned sushi rice. Each piece is meticulously assembled, offering a perfect balance between lightly vinegared rice, melt-in-your-mouth fish and seasonal garnishes.
The menu also includes crispy gyoza, colourful poke bowls, comforting Japanese curries and flame-grilled yakitori. Every dish is designed to deliver a flavour journey faithful to Japanese cuisine, while still appealing to local palates. Vegetarians, meat lovers or seafood fans \u2014 everyone will find something on our menu that suits them.
Our commitment? Zero industrial products. No powdered broth bases, no ready-made sauces, no frozen shortcuts. Everything is prepared on-site every morning by our team of passionate cooks. This daily rigour and exacting standards are what make Yoki Ramen the best Japanese restaurant in the 77, according to our most loyal customers.

Japanese Cuisine in Seine-et-Marne
Seine-et-Marne is a department experiencing strong demographic and gastronomic growth. Located south-east of Ile-de-France, the 77 welcomes new residents every year who seek a pleasant environment close to Paris yet with the tranquillity of the Brie countryside. This growth comes with rising demand for varied, quality dining options, and Japanese cuisine holds an increasingly prominent place in local eating habits. Ramen, sushi, maki, donburi, bento — dishes once considered exotic are now part of daily life for many families in the department.
Yet finding a genuine Japanese restaurant in Seine-et-Marne that prepares dishes by hand with fresh ingredients remains a challenge. Many establishments that present themselves as Japanese actually serve standardised cuisine based on frozen products and industrial bases. The people of Seine-et-Marne deserve better: they deserve Japanese food that respects tradition, showcases quality produce and delivers authentic flavours. That is precisely the promise of Yoki Ramen in Melun.
The choice of Melun as our location is no accident. As the department capital, Melun is a natural hub for residents of southern Seine-et-Marne. The town is linked to Paris by RER D and Transilien, and served by a dense road network that makes it easy to reach Fontainebleau, Senart, Brie-Comte-Robert and Villeneuve-Saint-Georges. By settling in the heart of Melun, Yoki Ramen makes itself accessible to the widest possible audience of Japanese-food enthusiasts in the 77.
Ramen holds a central place in Japanese gastronomy. This noodle dish served in a rich, aromatic broth is a true art form in Japan, where every region has its own recipe. At Yoki Ramen, we carry on this tradition by offering several broth styles — from creamy tonkotsu to clear shoyu and robust miso — each simmered for over twelve hours. That cooking time is essential to develop complex aromas and achieve the depth of flavour that defines a great ramen.
Whether you are a seasoned Japanese-food connoisseur or a curious newcomer eager to discover the flavours of Japan, Yoki Ramen welcomes you at our Melun restaurant for a one-of-a-kind tasting experience in Seine-et-Marne. Our team will be delighted to guide you through the menu and help you discover the subtleties of our dishes. The best Japanese restaurant in the 77 awaits you at 31 Rue du General de Gaulle, Melun.
