The svay salad was so fresh and delicious. We enjoyed the curry but it was one that grew on us. I think it was a little sweeter than either of us was expecting.

But it was the nearest and easiest choice. The mixture of Chinese and Thai decor and a menu that includes Peking Duck also warned of overly localized fare, as did the non-Asian clientele. But in one corner of the menu, there it was: Amok. Cambodia's signature, boneless fish stew, served wrapped in lotus leaves. It did not disappoint: a marvelous and flavorful creation. The stir fried broccoli and sticky rice also are highly recommended. The owner and one waiter are Cambodian, with a Thai Cambodian in the kitchen along with with chefs from Hong Kong.

As a vegetarian, I had to take my time to find the veggie friendly options and confirm a few times with the wait staff to make sure I didn't accidentally get shellfish because the amuse bouche definitely had it in it. Once I was able to identify the vegetarian options, I ordered all of them. Literally all. The food was delicious, slightly overpriced but it's neighboring the Ritz, so understandable. White table cloth settings and busy during lunch time. Good if already staying in the neighborhood or a tasty lunch after an afternoon in the jardin tuileries.

I ordered: -Amok poisson- white fish, yellow coconut milk curry, basil, bamboo shoots, and bell pepper (cooked in banana leaves) -Noodles sautéed with vegetables -White rice I also had one of my friend's spring rolls & tasted the sliced banana, tapioca, and warm coconut milk. I was disappointed. The white rice was undercooked; the sautéed noodles were cold, oily, and had only a few bean sprouts and carrots by the way of vegetables; the banana dessert needed more sugar; and the Amok poisson could have been lovely if it weren't for a slight fishy wateriness that kept cutting through the flavors of curry and basil. The spring roll was the best part of the meal - fresh, ingredients well-dosed. The servers were friendly enough, but I really didn't appreciate their **walking through the dining room at 10:30 pm, placing checks on the tables, saying "we're closing," and then dragging the trash bin and baskets through the dining room right in front of all lingering diners.** Chez Ama may not be in the center of Paris, but 10:30 is early--anywhere in France-- for kicking out customers. I might come back, but probably not. Not when there are restaurants like Tamarind, whose red curry Amok poisson with sticky rice was a pure pleasure.

Lot of fund as did the fried shrimp at next table. The owner's son Laurent was incredibly helpful as was the entire staff.

We found this restaurant on our first night in Paris, visiting from the States…read more Not only did the restaurant have great reviews, but they hand pull the noodles in the front of the restaurant. It's a small restaurant in Montparnasse, and we fortunately were able to walk right in for an early dinner. They had to pull a table back so we could scoot into a corner booth. The menu is extensive and includes wontons (raviolis), soups, and noodle dishes. Everything looked amazing and the restaurant smelled so good. We ordered the wontons as an appetizer, soup Lamen with beef, soup with shrimp dumplings, lamen with pork and Lamen with beef. We only waited about 8 minutes and steaming hot food was placed in front of us. Our entrees made it out before our appetizer but we didn't mind. Portions were very large and the noodles were chewy, fresh and delicious. We loved every item we ordered. We came back later in the trip to order takeout since the line for tables was so long. If you're in Paris, this is a must try!
