Love this place! Super authentic and the food taste was amazing! Both service and ambiance are…read moregreat! I went back twice during my two week trip.

Had a lovely dinner with my friend here in this tiny, snug restaurant and it was the best!…read more SERVICE: Their servers here speak English, French (bien sûr), and Chinese! They were very nice and accommodating when we had questions of their menu items. FOOD: I got a noodle dish that came with cucumber, carrots, and ground meat in a shallow soup (it's a dry noodle dish for the most part). It was so good - there were plenty of vegetables and a hefty amount of noodles and beef to make your euro worth. My friend and I also split a dish of (17) dumplings to go with our individual plates and it was so much food. Food coma/baby were definitely worth it and the dumplings were so delicious! OTHER: We didn't have a reservation but the wait during dinner hour (7/8 pm) was not bad at all. We had to wait around 15-20 minutes, but considering how many people were coming and going it wasn't a bad wait at all. I suppose I'd recommend you to make a reservation as this place can get super crowded!

After being in France for a week, we were looking for some traditional Asian cooking. We were so…read moreglad to come to Xiao Chi - their Xiao Long Baos (soup dumplings) were on point, as good as famous chains like Din Tai Fung. The rest of the menu included clay pots, beef tendon noodle soup, and other traditional "Xiao chi's" or little plates. So surprised to find a good Chinese restaurant in Lyon of all places. Great break to the Bouchons and heavy French food we've been having. Would go again!

All were tasty, but Spring Rolls were very greasy and couldn't find shrimps. Jasmine Rice was overcooked and mushy. The price was reasonable. The owner was chatty and welcoming.
