Chez Kim – Paris (75017) en

A take out on the Péreire side that respects its clients:  the chef Kim is Korean and he prepares both Korean and French food, it’s good, homemade, inexpensive, the service is nice and when it’s nice out there’s a nice patio (often taken over in fact) in a quiet spot on rue Lebon, because it’s partly  pedestrian.

It’s a little take out with a room on the inside, and a very nice patio when it’s nice out.
“Sans chichi” but the design makes you feel at home, and the seats are nice.
It’s possible to take out.

Kim is Korean , a young man was helping him that day, also Korean, maybe his son.
They’re nice and they don’t hesitate to answer questions .

Mains
Leek, salmon and mozarella quiche
The taste of a real homemade quiche, and it was nice and golden. It’s become such an ordinary dish, that we’re surprised when it’s actually good.
In my opinion there was a bit too much cheese, but when I talked to Kim about it, he explained it was mozzarella, and I thought it was really classy to put mozzarella in such a quiche.

Salad
This was the test; I wanted to see what salad they were going to serve me.  You can tell a lot about a cook from his/her house salad.
Here, the lettuce is nice, crunchy, served with red onions and a tomato, the vinaigrette, homemade as well, had a bit of a kick to it.

Korean pork and vegetables

Desserts
Fruit salad
It’s ok, the strawberries weren’t great, but we’re used to it, the rest was very good.

Chocolate lava cake.

Good deal. I only went one time, but the person that brought me, lives here and goes often ; in fact other friends had also recommended it.
I thought it was really good for this type of menu, that often is so-so in Paris.
Here, you can tell the food is homemade, that there’s a real desire to cook, prices aren’t excessive, the setting light, but with a serious performance.
