My partner and I split a Beef Bo Bun. It was spectacular!!! The salad was fresh, the noodles (rice vermicelli) was cooked al dente, the beef was seasoned well & the sauce (sweet, sour, chili) was beautifully balanced. The spring rolls and wonton added a nice crunch to the otherwise already perfect dish. Neither one of the 2 personnel in this small restaurant spoke English. But we knew what to order, thanks to Yelp. Both were very nice and helpful. We got by using hand gestures and pointing to which fried deliciousness on a display case we wanted to add to our Bo Bun. Given another chance to come back to Paris, I would definitely come back here.

This place is fairly far from where I live but still accessible (M12). They don't have that many Mexican products & that's why I didn't give it 5 stars. I bought chiles en vinagre, frijoles pintos & salsa Valentina for 9 euros.

I live in NYC, so I've seen my fair share of Asian supermarkets. After all, NYC has an excellent…read moreChinatown. When I first wandered the 13eme, I wasn't very impressed; I saw only a smattering of Asian traiteurs and grocery stores. When I reached Tang Frères (literally, when I turned the corner), my eyes almost fell out of my head. I've NEVER seen such an enormous Asian supermarket. The way that it's arranged is not very intuitive to me (even though I feel like I have a lot of experience wandering around Asian supermarkets); I can't ever seem to find the spices / sauces that I want. There also aren't very many workers walking around, so it's extremely difficult to find help. However, that allows you to wander around and explore all the awesome things that they sell. :D Chives are surprisingly expensive. (I just had to say that :x It's really weird for me). There's a huge variety; I can't overemphasize this. I think you can pretty much find any Vietnamese / Chinese thing you'd need for any sort of cooking. Prices are decent for Paris. Today, I bought a lychee drink, a mangosteen drink, two sets of wonton wrappers, 500g of ground pork, chives, five-spice powder, coconut milk, and tiny tapioca pearls for only 11.20€. Amazing. ALSO! They ground their pork fresh :O It's so cool. I've never seen that. You do need to get a ticket in order to get served by the Boucherie, though. I totally didn't expect this at all and I stood around like an idiot, wondering how people knew it was their turn to get served. I guess it's a new system. It's a little out of the way, but it's totally worth a trip. :)

Odd, but fun to see a large asian grocery store with prices/tags in French and asian languages (chinese, japanese, thai, laotian, etc). (Paris is the capitol of mom/pop mini marts, imho.) It had sriracha that I was looking for to enliven a stirfry and fresh/cheap asian veggies. Their Chinese BBQ chop house was pricey. Half a fresh roast duck was 17euros ($23+/-). Easy to shop, just make sure to bring your own grocery shopping bags. Pas mal- supermarché asiatique dans le quartier chinois? Vraiment facile pour les novices, pour trouver tous les ingrédients nécessaires pour nems, soupe miso et les sautés chinois.

They open 7 days a week.

"I only drink Champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not." - Coco Chanel…read more Bonjour! Oui, oui there are grocery stores in Paris, not only Michelin restaurants and fancy cafés! One such grocery store is Franprix. It carries everything you need to cook that homemade meal (popular during quarantine life *sigh*), lots of fresh fruit and a myriad of affordable juices! Beer and Champagne too, Coco! Sure, we need food for sustenance, but damn, make sure it taste amazing! So when in Paris, and missing Trader Joe's or Sprouts (like Yelp friend, Linh describes), Franprix is your Parisian answer. On my visits I especially love the nice help-yourself bakery if I'm craving croissants, baguettes, etc. and on the run! Franprix is owned by my French friend Fran C. Haha inside joke! Kidding aside it's a French grocery chain located all over Paris. Founded back in the 1950's. So my French friends must be doing something right;) This particular location is just blocks from La Eiffel Tower, but really it's everywhere across metropolitan Paris. In the end, I recommend Franprix to anyone looking for a quick healthy bite or a quenching drink after a long walk to-and-fro the museums. It's grocery store affordable and the European staff very friendly (most bilingual: French, English). Trés Trader Joelie for the win!

It's so convenient because they carry all the essentials: fresh baguettes, pastries, salad bar, hot prepared lunch boxes and produce etc. My favorite is the orange juice machine. You can press your own fresh orange juice. They also have a pomegranate juicer. Such a bright idea and a healthy alternative to bottled juices. The croissants are my daily morning staple. So delicious and baked fresh. This small market comes in handy when you need to grab a quick breakfast or lunch item. There are a few bar stools if you want to eat your food there. This market offers a one stop shop for those on the go. The self check out lanes makes it easier as well. You can even select English for ease of use. The store accepts euros at certain machines and credit cards. I'm glad we had this market nearby. I've seen this chain market in the surrounding areas.
