    This was one of the best meals I've ever had! The flavors of the noodle soup were immaculate and the noodles tasted fresh and were cooked al dente. The dumplings also had good flavor and the dough was a nice chewy texture. They could use more sauce because the sauce had most the flavor! I will be thinking about this meal for a long time and hope to go back next time I'm in Paris.

    My favorite restaurant in Paris! Not French food, but still my absolute favorite! From the atmosphere to the food it's 12/10!! ***LOCATION*** They have multiple locations but this one is my favorite because of the interior. I love the way it is decorated and it has plenty of seating downstairs as well as upstairs. Lots of cool lights and decor! Definitely good photo ops if it isn't too crowded (but being so good, it usually is). ***EXPERIENCE*** Always 12/10! I have been here so many times and have always had a great experience. The staff is friendly. The wait can be long if you don't arrive when they open, because it's super popular! ***PRICE*** The price is normal. Definitely not too expensive for Paris! I always get a drink, appetizer and meal and it's affordable. ***FOOD*** I always get their vegetarian gyozas and I have still to this day never tasted better gyozas! Their ramen is also amazing! I always get the hottest level! 6, I think is the hottest on the menu but if you ask for 8, they'll do even hotter! I have tried their beer and boba tea and both are also delicious! ***CONCLUSION*** Will definitely come here anytime I am in Paris and HIGHLY recommend trying this place if you're visiting. Even if it isn't French food, it's is definitely worth trying during your trip. And if you live here, this definitely will become your new favorite spot!

    Yes, You should go here! Dint ask questions, just do it. It's is as no. French as you'll get in Paris, but it was really good. Noodles were nicely spicy and the place is cool.

    Simply amazing. Reminds me of San Gabriel Valley beef noodle soup. If you know, you know. Great beef broth flavor, light Schezwan tingle in the broth. The broth could be a little more meaty, but it's good mildly beefy. The beef is so tender it breaks apart with your chopsticks. The noodles are homemade and have a good rebound texture to it. Nice bouncy texture to the noodle mixed with great soup, tender beef, and fresh veggies. Can't get better Chinese beef noodle soup in Paris!

    Visiting Paris, we just returned from a cold day trip to Mont St. Michel and we wanted som good Asian food to fill up our bellies. We found this place near our Airbnb and the lines were super long. We got the dumplings and beef noodle soup. The soup is so flavorful and delicious. It was exactly what we needed to warm up. For dessert we got the green tea crepe. You get 2 pieces for 5.50 euro. It's filled with red bean and whipped cream. Delicious!

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!

Some 24 years later, the ducks and pork roasts no longer hang in the window, as they do back home in and around San Francisco. But if you love authentic, delicious dim sum, along with some unexpected but equally enjoyable noodle dishes, brochettes, and even sushi, this is the place to be. Pork buns. Chicken buns. Shrimp dumplings. Shu mai with pork or shrimp. They all have different names in French, but you can find and point at them in the window. Multiple dishes and delicacies (or "delices") by the piece or by weight. All pretty darn wonderful. Ambiance? Not much, but you won't care once you start eating. Order at the counter from the friendly, multi-lingual servers, and find a seat. Or place your order to go and let the server know if you want it heated. Choose from a selection of beers and other beverages, be pleasantly surprised at the reasonable prices, then taste a bit of New York, San Francisco, or Hong Kong, in the midst of one of the best neighborhoods in one of the world's best cities. Save the fine dining for another time and place, and enjoy great dim sum with just a soupçon of a Parisian twist!

We tried two other places nearby, but it was too hot to sit in the street under the shade. Then we discovered Delices de Buci. It was perfect. It has a place to sit inside with fans and AC. It is a small restaurant which offers a mix of Asian food (Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese and more) with surprisingly reasenoble prices. I loved the food.

The waiter allowed some to enter and then asked if anyone had reservations due to limited seating. No one spoke up so he seated the rest of us. He was fair in how he handled the orders once we were seated, and asked in order of who entered first. I had their cascade petit for €38 and it came with 4 tiers. We were able to customize each layer and we chose steamed buns for the top layer, pork intestines for the second, grilled meat for the third, and this sour vegetable and fish broth for the last. We grilled our own meat and ordered some additional hot pot items for the last layer. The soup is actually tasty but gets tiring when you have a large amount of it. It also wasn't the best choice if you were thinking of using it for hot pot. Overall, this was interesting and I enjoyed my meal.

(You get to choose the type of food you want, we went for the spiciest just to have a little taste of the real Chungking city in China) If you want to eat actual Chinese food, then this is the place. The only problem is the wait, even if you call in advance, you'll have to wait; and even after you're seated, you'll have to wait for the food. The place is super super crowded, and super busy. The waiters are patient although they can't keep track of things and forget you orders (Just remind them, they're nice). It's not a good place for groups since it's really small. Go with ONE other person to better enjoy the dinner!

Nevertheless, they rearranged all their existing customers in order to accomodate us! Grateful to them as well as the other diners. We were blown away by the food! Everything was very flavorful and authetnic (not like US takeout). We had a plethora of dishes included dumplings, fried tofu, eggplant, string beans, sauteed beef, fried chicken, and noodles (apologies I don't have the exact dish names as I didn't do the ordering). It was all sooo good! We also had little cakes for dessert. We ordered 3 and the owner was so kind to throw in a 4th as we couldn't settle on the flavors (matcha, mango, coconut, and espresso). I don't think they make them in-house but they're delicious nonetheless. With good food and good service, I'll definitely be back!
