Solid choice in Paris's Chinatown. They've got an extensive menu so you shouldn't have a problem finding something to your liking. We got some dim sum items and ofc main dishes like the Bo Luc Lac, roast duck noodle soup, beef crispy noodles, caramelized pork and some others. Stop in, have a great casual meal along with some Che Ba Mau or iced tea carafes. Worth it. read more

Was in the Paris Chinatown and wanted a quick meal. Large space and friendly greeter. They didn't even offer us any water. We got the V1 which most people know as Pho Big Bowl. They call it the "Grand Bol" . Small portions, plastic noodles, also even the cooked meat didn't seem fully cooked like the meat balls, also broth was not hot enough to cook the uncooked meats. Lots of tripe pieces if you like tripe. read more

I've been coming to Tricotin since the late 80's. I was lucky to stop in no less than THREE times last summer. Their Cambodian noodle soup - especially if you get a pork bone on the side - is still the best I've had in Paris. Hell, their noodle soup is better than my mom's. Thank goodness my mom doesn't read Yelp. Find Tricotin in Chinatown (the 13th arrondissement). Credit accepted, cash preferred. read more

One of two restaurants initially owned and still run by an 86 year old Chinese Cambodian grandma who runs her kitchen similar to how my grandma runs her's. This place is great. Attentive staff who speak many dialects of Chinese, Khmer, Vietnamese, french, and English. This place is worth the visit if you're homesick and missing good authentic Asian food. Their menu is extensive and range from cambodian cuisine to Vietnamese to Thai and traditional Chinese dim sum! Quelle surprise! My favorite was the banh canh noodle soup, the 1b. Thick banh canh noodles soaked in rich broth filled with delicious cuts of lean pork, shrimp, and fish cake. Best eaten with their pickled peppers that lay sitting on their lazy Susan of condiments. But beware, these peppers pack a powerful punch! Roast duck was also quite good. Succulent and best served with white rice to soak up the delicious sauce. Also good is the tri colored dessert. Super tasty and a great way to end a meal. I really like this place and came back within the hour of my visit just for late night takeout--thats just how good it was! read more

I don't know what I was expecting. I guess since it was the Quartier Asiatique, I was expecting an eclectic mix of authentic food. The customers are also mainly older aging Asian folk. And the people who worked there definitely spoke a lot more than just Mandarin. When I had trouble understanding the accented french of the elderly man who sat us, he asked which language do I speak and proceeded to then speak in perfect Cantonese to me, while then speaking another Southeast Asian language to a coworker. Food was not great, dim sum (which is made to order at any time of the day) or dinner items. It was definitely a variation of the traditional, but I shouldn't have had high expectations when their menu has Chinese, Laotian, Vietnamese, and Cambodian all at once. Also, asking for hot water refill in your teapot gets you charged for a second tea, which is normally free in NYC, Toronto, and China from my experience. read more

My aunt and uncle were guiding us through Paris and wanted to take us to eat in China town. They have a variety of food from Chinese to Cambodian, to Vietnamese. We ordered dim sum dishes like xiu mai and hak-kao. Pork char siu, pho noodles, and fried rice. All the typical Asian dishes can be found here and they taste great! There was really nothing to complain about here. They understood English and surprisingly teochew (chinese dialect). Go at the right time because it does get pretty busy here. read more

Best dim sum in Paris, hands down... And I've eaten authentic dim sum in Hong Kong and Singapore! The chicken feet were the best I've ever had, pork spare ribs, turnip cakes, shu mai, har gao, pork buns, etc. were amazing! I also had a really good shrimp dumpling with cilantro in it! I would not recommend the soups, however... The one I tried was quite bland. I've also not heard the best things about the regular food. read more

We were looking for a decent place to eat Vietnamese food in 13 eme area and stumbled on this place. It is a big restaurant and there was a good number of patrons so we decided to give it a try. We ordered : Eggrolls: just ok, filled with clumps of meat and vermicelli Tripe soup: good flavor base Bo luc lac: meat was overlooked and rice was ok. My aunt had the steamed shrimp dumplings and she loved those. Maybe this place is only good for dim sum. Service: typical Chinese waiter attitude=brisk borderline rude read more

Not as good as the popular street food eateries in Asia, but certainly better than many of its counterparts elsewhere in Paris, Europe, or even America. Long menu. But you will not find refined cuisine here, just satisfying street food at very reasonable prices. Tricotin and it's slightly-older neighbour New Hoa Khoan, are open from 9 am (yes!) to 11 pm. At mealtime, there are usually long lines of Asians (a good sign!), so if you don't like queuing, go for brunch at 11am. read more

A good place to get Asian food and to give your body a break from all the French cuisine. During my travels, despite wanting to eat every notable French dish imaginable, I also just missed some Asian food. Sometimes, you want to feel like you're at home despite being miles and miles away. It's loud, boisterous, and hectic just like how I like my Asian restaurants. It's fusion of Chinese, Vietnamese, and I believe Cambodian cuisine. Food came out fast, it was cheap, and it was tasty. read more

Not much of a difference from the states - they carry all the same usual flare. Har Gaw and Sticky Rice

Search "best dim sum in Paris" on Google and Tricotin is on more than one list. And until I have gone to at least 10 dim sum places in Paris I'm not going to pretend to speak authoritatively. However, as someone who has been eating dim sum since he was 4 or 5 years old, I can say that the flavors are authentic, the service is fast, and the prices are good. The restaurant seems divided into two buildings. The one on the right is waiter service and perhaps the one on the other side has cart service on Sundays. Either way, I was VERY happy with my dishes and will bring back friends who have never had dim sum before to try their first time here. read more

Being that I was in Paris, I was super curious to want to know how Asian foods in a European country tastes like & I glad I had a couple of chances to do that while I was there. Surprisingly, this place was pretty good! I've had Asian food back in the States in certain places and they were plain horrible. But here, located in the heart of Paris' Chinatown, this restaurant has become so popular amongst the locals there, that it has expanded its space to not only the original location, but they have also opened their twin restaurant in the same plaza directly across from them! Hence, after parking your car in the street (wherever you may find parking), you can turn either left or right and be at the same restaurant. My group and I turned right and we were seated promptly after indicating how many people in our party in the back area. Very typical of Asian restaurants in the States, the tables have no order, shape and size. It's a jumbo mix of wherever there's room, you sit and if your back is pushed up against the back chair of the person sitting behind you in tight spaces, you'll just have to live with it for the time being. This restaurant serves an assortment of Asian meals ranging from Viet Pho, noodles, rice dishes, to Pad Thai, etc. to even Dim Sum (at night). Due to the fact that most restaurants are open later in the day and even later during the weekends, they do not have a set time to have Dim Sum like many of us take advantage of us in the States. Instead, they have it as an option during the regular meal times as a dish you can choose as an entrée (which is also served by the plate or bowl). Nothing to write home about regarding the taste of the food, it's still definitely a very good learning experience to see how people on the other side of the world lives and what we take advantage of at home. read more

It looks and acts like the usual large Chinese restaurant, with (as normal in France) Vietnamese touches. For example, our soup noodles were served with a bowl of raw bean sprouts with lemon. Our food was uneven. The seafood vermicelli soup was pretty good, although the fish balls and fish cake were Vietnamese additions. The English menu offered roast pork, but what arrived was (rather good) barbecue pork. The waiter complained, with attitude, that we hadn't ordered crispy pork. So we paid for an additional order, which was mostly fat and had apparently been microwaved to insure that the crispy skin wasn't. Chinese doughnuts were on each table, and appeared on the bill for one euro. If you're desperate for Chinese comfort food, give it a try but don't expect too much. read more

Tricotin - Traditional Cambodian noodle soup and Seafood Cambodian noodle soup! - Chinese Near Me - Paris, 75

I went here for the very first meet up of Yelp France with a bunch of Franglish folks and had a lovely evening of Dim Sum. While the dishes were hit or miss--the pork dumplings and the taro rolls were super yummy, the beef wrapped in rice noodles (#133) not so much--what was really fun about this place was just the casual ambiance, the way it was easy to try new things, and how we just sat around a big table near the window and kept passing all these plates around until everyone had their fill. If you've got a big group of friends needing to celebrate something or have a meeting/discussion, I'd really recommend coming here. This style of eating makes for immediate conversation and open-ness, and the service is so quick and good that you won't have those waiting awkward moments that often accompany large group dinners. Well done, Tricotin! read more

Really yummy Chinese/Korean food. I liked the variety. It's a huge place, but gets packed. Dim sum was good, bo bun was good, really felt like I was back in Chinatown in NYC. Go! read more

We were in Paris for a few weeks, and ate at Tricotin 2 (just past the distinctive Chinatown McDonalds) almost every day. The frog legs (3 Chinese styles--ginger scallion, black bean, and salt&pepper, around 10 frog legs for 7.50 Euros) and roast duck, and duck noodle (choice of noodle, we chose Vietnamese rice noodles served with bean sprouts like Pho) were outstanding, at very reasonable prices. (The roast duck and roast duck noodle were around 7 Euros each.) Tricotin 2 has a good specialty chef for every sector of the menu. The fare offered is Chinese, Vietnamese, and Cambodian. The coconut-sprinkled mochi (glutinous rice dough) was top-knotch, and the classic to be found at any good dim sum restaurant in the World. Maybe a tad more scrumptious. Where we come from we cannot get good duck and good frog legs, hence our passion to eat these. Tricotin 2 is one of the reasons we would return to Paris. After food prices rose, we felt that the French bistros' quality suffered in Paris. So, we started eating French cuisine outside of Paris instead, and ate ethnic in Paris. Our Parisian French bistro waiter found out about Tricotin 2 from us, and started to eat there. He could not believe the prices were so low for that kind of quality and quantity. The preparation style at Tricotin 2 is light to allow the flavor of the great ingredients shine through. We liked the tall young Cambodian waiter, who gave great service. Some of the other waiters were not so good. The decor is okay, but you cannot see any of it once the restaurant gets crowded as everyone is packed cheek to jowl, shoulder to shoulder, and the tables get covered with food. Little tables, table cloths covered with clear plexi-glass, maybe carved rosewood chairs. The restaurant is sizable, so we never had to wait. But, we found it more pleasant at non-busy periods, when we could have an area to ourselves. In the busy periods, Tricotin 2 reminded us more of fancy parody of a cafeteria--one with nice chairs. I don't remember if there was actually no space between tables arranged in longish rows (for that cafeteria-like ambiance in the heart of the restaurant), but it certainly had that feeling. But, hey, that cramming means no waiting. In our home City, very popular Vietnamese restaurants ask if you are willing to share tables due to lines around the block. So, the crammed tables were a step up from that. ;-) Oh and I should mention that good waiter or non-communicative waiter, the food comes relatively quickly considering the number of patrons. But, it being France, no one is rushed out the door. The restaurant stays open all day, once it opens, until closing, which made it convenient for us with our tourist hours. read more

The nearest Métro is Porte de Choisy, not Tolbiac. The restaurant is divided into two: the left quarter and the right one (which is bigger). It's not only a Thai restaurant, as they also serves delicious Chinese and Vietnamese food like Bobun, Pho, and a million other options. EVERYTHING's good here, I can't begin to list. Just go and order something, it will be a good one! Love the desserts as well. read more

Fantastic place ! We ordered from a menu we couldn't read before realizing there is an English menu ! Be sure to ask for it ! Food was amazing ! Lotus wrapped rice was our favorite ! We loved the beef in oyster sauce dumplings as well ! My husband has a wheelchair and they were very accommodating ! You won't be sorry you went ! read more

Tricotin - Beef with oyster sauce and FRESH ginger on top ! - Chinese Near Me - Paris, 75

The Beef Pho (#7 on the menu), in the bigger Tricotin (there are two) has a unique broth that for me is the best ever. I've gone to hundreds of Vietnamese restaurants and never tasted anything better. Its interesting because the broth in the smaller restaurant across the alley tastes like everywhere else. When I lived in Paris,sometimes i'd eat there twice a day! read more
