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.

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.

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!

Lots of people were buying their dim sum to-go. There was a short line for the dine-in area right next to dim sum display counter. We grabbed the menus got in queue. Within a few minutes, we got a small table toward the back. We ordered 2 bowls of wonton egg noodle soup. They were good sized bowls, the wontons were decent, the egg noodles have a firm bite and nice springy texture, the broth was a bit on the bland side. I usually don't mind bland soup at Asian restaurants because I can always doctor it up with available condiments and chili sauce; however, this place doesn't have any condiments. We still finished our bowls. All and all, it was a good meal considering the location we were at.

I love that I can choose one of everything I want instead of being forced to only choose one meal. The best was the Salmon dumplings. I've never seen that on the menu and I'm glad I decided to try it. The food is a bit on the pricey side but with anything tapas style, it'll be pricey. I had a bunch of other dumplings but the salmon was the best. I also had an amazingly summer roll. It wasn't the normal 95% rice vermicelli. This was packed with greens and protein!

Within the five minutes after my head acknowledged my stomach's hankerings I passed by this hole in the wall of a restaurant and saw RAVIOLIS on their menu. Hello! I walked in, the place was empty aside from the two women that worked there. I took a seat and order just a standard 10piece order of their homemade pork and cabbage dim sum and a tea. Within the time that I waited for the order to come, a good 10 minutes as everything is prepared to order in the minuscule kitchen corner behind the cash register, every seat in the 16-seat canteen filled up and people started ordering soups, dim sum, bentos and bubble tea. My dim sum were delicious! So tender and juicy and savory. For 4E I think it's possibly the best dim sum for your euro in Paris. The soups also looked phenomenal. I'll be back!
