My Noodles - Lamen with beef

Montparnasse, 6ème

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!

The noodle texture was amazing. Got Beef Noodle Soup and Sichuan Fish Lamen Soup - both were incredible! Really generous portions with deep, flavorful broth that had the perfect amount of spice. Everything balanced perfectly with those fresh noodles. Service was quick too. Definitely worth checking out.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is an article for old people. If you are under 30 and you consider Netflix as the Paramount of…read morethe 21st century, you will be dumped. Some Chinese restaurants are like "Return to the Future". You can remember some of the dishes that were tasted during the 1980s, in some of the factory-crafted establishments in Shenzen when it was just a small village in SEZ, while on your Walkman you listened to Footloose or She's a maniac. Well here, nothing has changed. A long menu without ending makes you wander between multiple specialties that could make you think that Asian cuisine is uniform. A more than courteous service plunges you back into the antediluvian cliché of so-called Chinese obsequiousness. A grilled meat platter wriggling fat reminds you that your laundry is your best friend and Roberval haunting your spouse. (I know, Roberval, these are scales with two plagues, not scales-person, but I found it pretty in the sentence.We will say that it is a poetic license ...) Obviously, you will not avoid the cups of Mey Kwei Loo with the naked woman at the bottom ... Some restaurants provide the man in situation. But given the ambient susceptibility of our time, we must be careful not to offend anyone by presenting a conventional anatomy that would not be their favorite ... So if you want to go back (without actually eating bad, do not misinterpret) in a bygone era when the USSR still existed, where the association between a pencil and an audiotape was obvious, in a time where the boss of the video-club (what is a video-club?) you charged fee when you had not rewound the video-tape, go to the Trois Bonheurs. Great Scott! Bill of 79,10 euros for 2.

A hidden gem serving this bustling area, frequented by nearby residents, superstar actors and…read moreretired doctors alike. Though located right across the street from Le Bon Marchė, this establishment retains much of its homely atmosphere from its initiation 27 years ago. Tourists and local first-timers are usually surprised by how the amiable owner couple are well acquainted with everyone else that walks in. Some seem to regard the place as a family dining room. Such customer retention results not only from the hospitality, but also from the quality, albeit a tad pricey (prepare for 20-25 Euro p/p if you have a hungry stomach to fill). A few words before jumping into specific dishes. If you prefer less oil/salt/sauce, PLEASE ASK. The staff is much accommodating. If you cannot stand even a hint of grease or care much about clean and artistic plating, please avoid eating in common Chinese restaurants. Maybe you can try Li Imperial Cuisine (and pretend that you have just gorged the best Chinese cuisine when faced with a €80 p/p bill). Recommended dishes - Sizzling shrimp with bamboo shoots, mushrooms and onions on an iron plate. Shrimps are seared with spices and become even more ambrosial when they sizzle on the hot plate. - Wok fried beef with ginger: beef is tender enough, and ginger helps keep the flavors balanced. Besides, ginger is your best friend in summer. - Chicken thighs with basil spices: the outer sprinkled with spices and wok-fried to crispy, inside hides the juicy thighs. Yum yum! - Pork Shao Mai (Siu Mai): Succulent pork enveloped by smooth dumpling skin. The best we have tasted at this price range in Paris (€4.5 for four. Sure Shang Palace's is even more authentic, but the price more than triples) - Wok fried any sort of vegetables (cabbage, water spinach, string beans): hot vegetable always invaluable to a native Chinese. Some general notes on our reviews on Chinese restaurants outside China. We never base our reviews on meaningless comparison between these establishments to their counterparts in China. Instead, we value authenticity in terms of ingredients, styles and repertoire among their peers in the local area. In other words, if a restaurant is more "native Chinese" than most others in its base city, it deserves a Five Star, whether it is a family-run canteen or a Michelin Three Star.

Pavillon de Hang Chow has been around for years in Paris. If you want good Asian food this is the…read moreplace to go. The owners are so nice with giving great customer service. We ordered sizzling shrimp with veggies entree which was amazing. The fried rice was just ok since I've had better. But the entree dishes are a must to try. The dining area is comfortable with many authentic art pieces from Asia. The restaurant's owners told us they came to Paris 40 plus years ago and their dream was to open an Asian restaurant in the city of Paris. It's super inspirational they came, learned French and made it happen. Side Note- Most restaurants in Paris close between lunch and dinner time. While sightseeing we missed lunch time, and this was one of few Asian restaurants open at this time. Walking distance from Avenue des Champs Elysées. ~

Rabia J was craving Asian food and we ended up walking to this restaurant from our hotel, took approximately 10 minutes. As we got there around 5pm we weren't sure if they would be open but they already had a few tables seated. This particular restaurant doesn't take credit cards so please take cash as you would be cleaning dishes the rest of the evening and that is not how you envision your trip to Paris. We ordered the shrimp dim sum along with a sizzling shrimp with veggies dish and veggie fried rice. The food had awesome authentic Chinese taste and smelled and tasted great. The restaurant is run by owners who came to Paris 45 years. 5 star for food and service.

Denfert-Rochereau, 14ème

The best Chinese food I've found so far in Paris is at Etoile D'Asie, in the 15th, on Daguerre,…read morewhich is a pedestrian street lined with vendors of produce, meat, seafood, pastries, and restaurants. The display counter offers about 50 choices (I am not kidding), ranging from dim sum to entrées, sides of noodles and rice or vegetables, and desserts. It's a bit of an overwhelming choice, but it's a fun problem :) Service is efficient and smiling, even extending to patient as people invariably linger trying to decide what to choose, no one ever rushes you or scowls. The place is filled with local regulars and a few random tourists who wander over from the catacombs nearby; keep in mind this Chinese restaurant keeps French hours, so it closes in the mid afternoon between lunch and dinner hours. Everything is incredibly fresh, with popular dishes coming out from the kitchen to replenish the sold out ones, and with a brisk take out business, the line moved quickly. Everyone orders and pays; if you are eating in, go sit down as you wait for your order to be brought to you, otherwise you wait by the register for take out. Menus start from about 6 to 15 Euros, or you can simply get dishes by weight. I chose three shrimp dimsum, which were light and tender, although I found the har gow dough a bit thick. I got a side of vegetables instead of rice, and doctored it with the sriracha and soy sauce on every table (I was ecstatic to find sriracha bottles on every table in Paris). For my main course I got 300 grams of the spicy shrimp, which were actually a bit spicy! For future reference I will get 150 grams since I had a hard time finishing this portion after the dim sum and the vegetables. Another day, another choice, this time I chose garlic chicken with a glass noodle side, both of which were wonderfully done and not a bit greasy. I liked this place so much I went back for yet another meal, this time the sauteed beef with peppers (not the spicy kind), vegetables, and plain rice. Etoile D'Asie means "star of Asia", and this place gets a gold star for Chinese food.

Little Chinese / Asian restaurant where I took away my diner last week…read more Food was really good, almost as tasty as what I used to eat in China, so that's a good point. They have a large choice of meals, from noodles, vegetables, rice, meat, dim sum, spring rolls, deserts, and so forth. Take whatever you want, I am sure you will not be disappointed! Service was nice, I mean, the waitress was nice (I took away so there was not really any service). Maybe I'll go there one more time and eat inside, so I can see how the mood is. Finally, this restaurant is good for value, not too expensive, which is a good thing for people like me who like to eat a lot! For 16€, I had a huuuge meal that could have fed two people.
