Came here because I was craving some Chinese food after having so much French food. It definitely…read moresatisfied the craving. 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.

There were Chinese, Vietnamese and Japanese menu items from what I saw, and none of them were really "authentic" to the actual dish. That said, it tastes good, in a delightfully junky way. I ordered the Bo Bun with chicken, which took them 4 or 5 minutes to prepare. Needless to say I received beef instead, but it didn't matter because the best part of the dish wasn't the meat anyways. Under a little layer of meat was a delightful medley of noodles, bean sprouts and above all ACTUAL SPICE! There was nothing better than soaking the spring rolls in the sauce to get them a little soggy and spicy. Finishing my meal off with a little cup of lychee was perfect, too. If I go back I think I would order the same thing without any meat.

When asked, our…read morelovely, waitperson, Evian suggested we order the Crispy Shichimi, which is a spinach-filled roll with shichimi pepper, sesame sauce, black sesame and pickled red onion artfully strewn atop. When I asked why, she said, "They're crunchy." My eyes lit up. As a vegan I crave crunchy food because so much plant-based food is soft. Evian was right! This roll had texture. It was beautifully presented in eight pieces. Upon the first yummy bite it was apparent this was cooking at another level. The fry was perfectly light and clean. Each bite substantial. The taste memorable. I have never had a sushi roll like it and now I want to live inside the restaurant so I can have it forever. We also got five pieces of the yummy Seitan Crispy, which comes with a lovely Doenjang sauce, that is thick and flavorful. These unique, protein boosts are also cleanly fried, delectable and filling. Lastly, my husband got the small BBQ Donburi which was a bowl of rice, a flavorful bbq soy protein, and some mesclum. He loved it. We sat outside on the lovely side street and chatted with Evian who made our dinner a memorable experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and wish I could bring it back to America. Even better, open up a branch in San Francisco!

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!

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.

However, I was able to find a community based FB page where it notes people have talked about it and others "like" it. I was in the area visiting a nearby museum (Camondo) and spied this hipstery/trendy dim sum cafe. Turns out it's like one of THE places to go for folks to get their dim sum fix. My cousin and I were curious like a cat and wanted to give it a whirl. Interesting options, one being beef w/lemongrass in a shumai wrapper. Other items we chose were a sticky lotus leaf rice dish (which did not come in a lotus leaf, tho there was a long strip of it in the aluminum container), hargow (typical shrimp dumpling), shrimp w/spinach dumpling, chicken shitake ginger, and a 5 spice pork dumpling. Interesting concept, to have a small yet easy selection constantly being made for dine in/takeout lunchers. Cashier gave me wrong change, after I corrected him twice. Third time was the charm. They had some milk chocolate covered and dark chocolate covered almonds, he told us to please take more than one as consolation. They were quite tasty! Overall the dumplings were kinda bland. Meat fillings were mostly chopped up, ex: U-25 shrimp in 1/4 pieces. Dimsum "skins" were fresh made, not packaged. 1 * for that! The beef w/lemongrass made me think of vietnamese deli food, so 1/2* for that. I'm glad I asked for hot sauce and some soy sauce when the server asked us if there was anything else needed. I had to tell her that I didn't see any sauces but did spy the chopsticks and napkins. She apologized for her omission. Seriously, my cousin and I were the only asians in there and I think that may have stunned them. As my cousin and I are quite familiar w/dimsum (fam members do it for a living), we were happy to see one of the dimsum team members come up the stairs w/fresh steamers of new food items. She was Chinese and seemed mildly surprised to see us there too. Yes, I know we were in the 17th arrondissement and not in the 13th, were Chinatown is. Given how many seats were filled and the long line that started right after we got our food, I think this spot has a good chance of staying. Surrounding businesses were regular cafe/bistro/boulangeries.
