    I arrived just a few before opening time and by then a line was already forming. I think I was the…read morefifth group in the line. 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.

    Expect good food but also a long long wait. The food is…read morereally really good but also really really spicy. (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!

    Taking note of the line out the door of Gros Bao when passing by from across the canal, a mental…read morenote was made: perhaps this is where I'd dine later. As afternoon drifted into evening, the canal bank was overflowing with people but the line at Gros Bao had evaporated. It was time to dine at Gros Bao, just inside the wide open facade that allowed me to people watch from a front row seat. Gros Bao Paris is a fun, casual eatery and it was immediately easy to understand their popularity. Once seated, you order via QR code and food is delivered fresh to your table. Want another dish? Do it again. I'm generally no fan of ordering off a QR code, especially in a sit-down restaurant, but here it seemed to just be part of the experience and I really enjoyed it. Also enjoyed? The food, which I found to be delicious. An assortment of Chinese fare was ordered and I liked everything that arrived at my table. They do have bao, but the menu is also full of all the usual Chinese dishes you know and love. Two of us spent about $75 here for what proved to be a late lunch/early dinner. We left only as the sun was finally starting to sink lower, both declaring that it was a pretty perfect way to end a day spent along Canal St. Martin.

    We stopped in for dinner with a large group and sampled a pretty extensive menu: fresh cucumber…read moresalad, crispy shrimp spring rolls, baozi Shanghai classic, eggplant hong shao, Sichuan-style green beans, mapo tofu, crispy fried chicken, beef ho fun, charsiu pork, Shanghai noodles, and finished off with the mango sago. Overall, the food was flavorful and enjoyable. The crispy shrimp rolls and baozi were crispy, juicy, and well-balanced. The eggplant hong shao had a nice savory flavor, and the green beans had just enough spice without overwhelming the palate. The charsiu pork and Shanghai noodles were also solid choices, cooked well with good texture. Mango sago was a refreshing way to finish off the meal. One minor drawback, some of the space felt a bit rundown and dirty, which slightly impacted the overall experience. Still, the quality of the dishes and pleasant service makes it worth trying.
