They have an English menu and a very lovely server that spoke English. Here's what we had: -Fried shrimps and egg roll with sweet dipping sauce - very good and very similar to what I'm used to in L.A. -Noodles with shrimp - tasty and they had sambal oelek to drench it with. -Cantonese fried rice - probably my favorite. The rice was cooked to perfection and had a great flavor. -Imperial shrimps - a lot of shrimp with onions and a lot of garlic. The shrimp could've been cooked a little more but good nonetheless We had jasmine tea that was delicious. I would really recommend anyone staying in the area to try this place is you are craving Chinese food. It really hits the spot.

Dim Sum in Paris. Shoot why not?…read more Reviews were great. My husband loves dim sum. So we figured let's go get some. For us, it was A-OK. Probably tasted better to us because we were tired of pizza, sandwiches, etc. loved that they have an all you can eat option. they have a set menu for their all you can eat. once they bring out their set menu items you're allowed to inform them of which items you'll like to eat more of. why i loved that they have an all you can eat option? the price for it was pretty reasonable compared to everything else we've been eating in europe. it gave us the opportunity to try a little bit of everything. did it taste like dim sum in LA? unfortunately not. nothing was super memorable to me and once i tried each item i didn't really wanna reorder anything. the XLB had no juice inside of it. which i totally was disappointed about. esp when XLB is known to be good because it is juicy. service was pretty good. food came out really quick. you'll leave smelling like deep fried food since they make some of the food right in front of the window. overall, if you want to get more bang for your buck and wanna have some asian food then i would say try it out. if not it's definitely passable. tips: *accepts credit cards and cash *restrooms are available. *staff speaks english, french, and chinese. *street parking *serves alcohol. *takes reservation. *no wifi. *ask for tap water to save $ *within walking distance to the metro.

Having had our fill of rich (albeit delicious) French food for several days, we needed a change of flavor profile. Enter Le Royal China. We got there just as they opened and were greeted warmly. We were promptly seated and after a short time reviewing the menu, we ordered a parade of dim sum goodness. It was a perfect meal, including the hot tea, to brighten up a cold day.

The workers inside speak Chinese, but they also have the menu in English, making it easy to order. We got the pork and chive dumplings for takeout, and it was less than a 10 minute wait. Despite a 30-minute subway ride back to the hotel, the dumplings stayed fresh and warm. And boy were they great!! The dumpling skin had the perfect crisp on the pan-fried side, and there was the perfect ratio of dumpling skin to meat. The inside was juicy. Delicious dumplings, kind workers, and a cheap price! Definitely recommend :)

I could live off of Chinese dumpings. Really, I find the format to be the most perfect design ever…read more So cute, easy to eat, doughy, salty and juicy. When I moved to Paris 15 years ago the dumpling options could be counted not only on one hand, but on two fingers, which is why I'm thrilled with the dumpling explosion (aka ravioli for the French) in Paris. I find it hilarious as well that new places are opening up with names like "L'art du ravioli" since it's such a Frenchified, highly pretentious way of describing such a simple, traditional thing. In any case, this new canteen on the rue au Maire makes a statement with its dumpling focus. The menu consists of about 8 different dumpling types as well as a range of salads and other dishes. I asked the waitress for her classics, and she suggested the pork with chinese cabbage and cucumber salad. The salad was crisp and piquant and lovely, the dumplings were good, the meat mixture was flavorful, the dough soft but the texture of the pork was a bit grainy. I inhaled the whole order happily, however. The service was great and the prices are hard to beat. I paid 12E for an order of dumplings, my cucumber salad and a 1/4 of red.

A man from NY heard us speaking English and said it was really delicious so we knew it was the right choice. We had the pork and cabbage raviolis (12 for 5€) and the shrimp (12 for 6€) and beef with onions and a side of rice. It was all good but not the best. Very friendly staff. No dessert except litchi in syrup so that was disappointing. Over all we liked it but our standard is very high as we ate dim sum weekly in San Francisco at Good Luck dim sum on Clement. We are going to try some others.

What a wonderful place to have a sampling of Asian appetizers for lunch on aa wet, partly sunny in…read moreParis on a January afternoon. We were staying near the area and happened to pass by this place as we were searching for a place to grab a bite. It's a small indoor cafe, but two things stuck out: the friendliness of the greeter (who we later found out is the owner) and that the dumplings were being handcrafted fresh by ladies right in front. We were seated at the last available seating for two, and there was a carafe of still water right there (with a sprig of mint for flavor). The restaurant emphasizes the fusion element (mainly between Chinese-dim-sum and Japanese Gyoza). We got two plates from the 'Les Compositions' menu: Menu (Dim Sum) Star (15.90€) and Menu Gyoza (14.90€). The Gyoza plate came out first, consisting of 4 meat dumplings and 4 veggie dumplings (you can tell the difference by the color of the wrapper). The plate also had medium grain rice, and seaweed salad, and a dipping sauce (soy vinegar). The dim sum plate came in two personalized size steam baskets that came JUST out of the steamer (all of it was very freshly hot, which was great). It came with rice, dipping sauce, and edamame (which is why it is called fusion, I guess). Everything was good, very fresh, and steaming hot. Obviously it depended on personal preference for fillings (we both like meat fillings a lot more than vegetarian). The size was perfect for the two of us for lunch, and we finally sated our (good) rice fix after a 12 day absence. As we were finishing, the greeter came over, and asked us to write something in a guest book. Kinda neat, so my wife wrote a nice greeting. We learned that she was Anne, the owner, and when she noticed that we were from Cali, she pointed us to a different guest book that had been signed by a famous California resident. We struck up a conversation, and paid by credit card. We left the restaurant really happy (it helped that the sun peeked out as we went outside as well). Ann was really cool, and love how a place like this exists (probably all over the city) without much hoopla.
