When asked, our…read morelovely, waitperson, Evian suggested we order the Crispy Shichimi, which is a spinach-filled roll with shichimi pepper, sesame sauce, black sesame and pickled red onion artfully strewn atop. When I asked why, she said, "They're crunchy." My eyes lit up. As a vegan I crave crunchy food because so much plant-based food is soft. Evian was right! This roll had texture. It was beautifully presented in eight pieces. Upon the first yummy bite it was apparent this was cooking at another level. The fry was perfectly light and clean. Each bite substantial. The taste memorable. I have never had a sushi roll like it and now I want to live inside the restaurant so I can have it forever. We also got five pieces of the yummy Seitan Crispy, which comes with a lovely Doenjang sauce, that is thick and flavorful. These unique, protein boosts are also cleanly fried, delectable and filling. Lastly, my husband got the small BBQ Donburi which was a bowl of rice, a flavorful bbq soy protein, and some mesclum. He loved it. We sat outside on the lovely side street and chatted with Evian who made our dinner a memorable experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and wish I could bring it back to America. Even better, open up a branch in San Francisco!

What a wonderful place to have a sampling of Asian appetizers for lunch on aa wet, partly sunny in…read moreParis on a January afternoon. We were staying near the area and happened to pass by this place as we were searching for a place to grab a bite. It's a small indoor cafe, but two things stuck out: the friendliness of the greeter (who we later found out is the owner) and that the dumplings were being handcrafted fresh by ladies right in front. We were seated at the last available seating for two, and there was a carafe of still water right there (with a sprig of mint for flavor). The restaurant emphasizes the fusion element (mainly between Chinese-dim-sum and Japanese Gyoza). We got two plates from the 'Les Compositions' menu: Menu (Dim Sum) Star (15.90€) and Menu Gyoza (14.90€). The Gyoza plate came out first, consisting of 4 meat dumplings and 4 veggie dumplings (you can tell the difference by the color of the wrapper). The plate also had medium grain rice, and seaweed salad, and a dipping sauce (soy vinegar). The dim sum plate came in two personalized size steam baskets that came JUST out of the steamer (all of it was very freshly hot, which was great). It came with rice, dipping sauce, and edamame (which is why it is called fusion, I guess). Everything was good, very fresh, and steaming hot. Obviously it depended on personal preference for fillings (we both like meat fillings a lot more than vegetarian). The size was perfect for the two of us for lunch, and we finally sated our (good) rice fix after a 12 day absence. As we were finishing, the greeter came over, and asked us to write something in a guest book. Kinda neat, so my wife wrote a nice greeting. We learned that she was Anne, the owner, and when she noticed that we were from Cali, she pointed us to a different guest book that had been signed by a famous California resident. We struck up a conversation, and paid by credit card. We left the restaurant really happy (it helped that the sun peeked out as we went outside as well). Ann was really cool, and love how a place like this exists (probably all over the city) without much hoopla.

Having had our fill of rich (albeit delicious) French food for several days, we needed a change of flavor profile. Enter Le Royal China. We got there just as they opened and were greeted warmly. We were promptly seated and after a short time reviewing the menu, we ordered a parade of dim sum goodness. It was a perfect meal, including the hot tea, to brighten up a cold day.

I'd recommend this place if you're looking for some cheap eats in the area.

The dim sum gods were smiling down on me this weekend…read more I was craving dim sum. It was 2pm on a Saturday and I was strolling around town. Within the five minutes after my head acknowledged my stomach's hankerings I passed by this hole in the wall of a restaurant and saw RAVIOLIS on their menu. Hello! I walked in, the place was empty aside from the two women that worked there. I took a seat and order just a standard 10piece order of their homemade pork and cabbage dim sum and a tea. Within the time that I waited for the order to come, a good 10 minutes as everything is prepared to order in the minuscule kitchen corner behind the cash register, every seat in the 16-seat canteen filled up and people started ordering soups, dim sum, bentos and bubble tea. My dim sum were delicious! So tender and juicy and savory. For 4E I think it's possibly the best dim sum for your euro in Paris. The soups also looked phenomenal. I'll be back!

I could live off of Chinese dumpings. Really, I find the format to be the most perfect design ever…read more So cute, easy to eat, doughy, salty and juicy. When I moved to Paris 15 years ago the dumpling options could be counted not only on one hand, but on two fingers, which is why I'm thrilled with the dumpling explosion (aka ravioli for the French) in Paris. I find it hilarious as well that new places are opening up with names like "L'art du ravioli" since it's such a Frenchified, highly pretentious way of describing such a simple, traditional thing. In any case, this new canteen on the rue au Maire makes a statement with its dumpling focus. The menu consists of about 8 different dumpling types as well as a range of salads and other dishes. I asked the waitress for her classics, and she suggested the pork with chinese cabbage and cucumber salad. The salad was crisp and piquant and lovely, the dumplings were good, the meat mixture was flavorful, the dough soft but the texture of the pork was a bit grainy. I inhaled the whole order happily, however. The service was great and the prices are hard to beat. I paid 12E for an order of dumplings, my cucumber salad and a 1/4 of red.

A man from NY heard us speaking English and said it was really delicious so we knew it was the right choice. We had the pork and cabbage raviolis (12 for 5€) and the shrimp (12 for 6€) and beef with onions and a side of rice. It was all good but not the best. Very friendly staff. No dessert except litchi in syrup so that was disappointing. Over all we liked it but our standard is very high as we ate dim sum weekly in San Francisco at Good Luck dim sum on Clement.

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).
