Handmade Asian noodles and you could definitely taste how fresh it was. The soup had the perfect amount of flavor and there offer a variety of noodle and wonton dishes. I would not recommend getting anything that isn't soup based because I did see them using the microwave to heat up rice and hot items before serving them to the customers which was weird to me. Go for the noodle soups and you will be happy with your choice. The staff wasn't too friendly but maybe because it was pretty busy in there today.

Love love this place. Never disappoints. The shrimp noodle soup or the beer noodle soup are amazing. Also the grilled dumplings. Get there earlier at lunch time cuz it gets PACKED The staff is so friendly and welcoming. It's really cool to see a lot of locals eating there (I mean not just chinese people haha )

There's a line or wait during dinner time. Seating space is comfortable enough but you may be a feet away from strangers tables since the place is so small. The food is worth it and delicious Chinese food! Beef noodle soup is a must try if you like beef. They gave plenty of meat and plenty of noodles. The noodles were super soft and handmade! The best I've had. People of all races come here. Very affordable 20€ for 2 beef noodle soups and the 3rd dish was dumplings! The dumplings were piping hot and tasty.

One of my better decisions for trying to find some authentic Chinese food in Paris! I highly recommend ordering their beef noodle soup with the hand pulled noodles. There were other native Chinese speakers in the restaurant and the owners were Chinese themselves. Two thumbs up, the soup stock had depth and it was a normal portion. I would definitely return again should I find myself in the city! Service could be friendlier, but hey I didn't come for that, as long as the food is good I'm satisfied.

Chineese noddle restaurant. Good lunch spot for €10 to €20. Gets busy... definitely worth checking out if you're on the hunt for good chinese food.

Fat noodle with pork (middle dish of the last row) delicious!

Oo! This is an awesome noodle place! I've been here three times and when I was back in the states, I was still thinking about Happy Nouilles! The dishes are about 10 Euros or under, so it's easy on the wallet. The noodles are hand pulled and taste amazing. The first time we came, we shared the duck noodle soup which was excellent. The broth was very tasty and the noodles were perfect, with great springiness and chew. The meat was served on the bone though which I didn't care for, but it did taste good. My favorite dish is the Fillament Porc dish with the thick cut noodles; I'm not sure of the exact name. It's the middle dish of the last row of noodle items. It's outstanding! I love the crispy pork belly in it and the noodles are oh so good! The noodles are thick and chewy, and aren't uniform in shape. This is the dish I have ordered three times now! About half way through the dish, I do like to use the condiments on the side for a little extra punch as the taste is a little on the mild side. A little dash of the vinegar and the sriracha are nice to kick up the taste a bit, but it doesn't need it. It's still very good! Heads up: this place is cash only.

We spent a long day exploring Paris and knew that a bowl of fresh hot noodles would hit the spot. The hand pulled noodles with pork in soup and dumplings were amaaazing. The vermicelli noodles were alright, nothing special. We also had the pea shoot vegetables, but were not a fan of the flavor at all, too much fish sauce. This is a great spot if you know what to order!

That is my son trying to eat with someone's ass touching our table and someone right behind him.

Amazing fresh noodles! Really fresh as they're making them right in front of you. The potstickers were pretty good too, as was the beef noodle soup. We got the spicy beef noodle soup. There was a VERY strong flavor like cumin so that kind of ruined it for me but the noodles were so damn good I ate it anyway. It cleared my sinuses. Be warned tho, the restaurant is tiny, a hole in the wall. It is not set up for the amount of customers it gets. Their system is very confusing and chaotic. There was a line to order but then there was people just sitting down and ordering and there was another line for people trying to pay. Only one lady handles both lines and the phone. It was so tight and crowded in there that we ate with someone's ass on our table or in our face almost the whole time. This is definitely NOT a good place for groups or kids. Way too crowded and the tables are tiny.

We ended up here by accident. We were looking for pho and for some reason so Many places are closed on Sunday? Maybe holy day. So the 2 places we looked for pho..closed. We else's by this place and it was crowded outside. I walked Closer and see this Asian guy rolling and making fresh noodles in the window... ok we must go here it's like really fresh. We actually get seated since it was just 2 if us right next to the open kitchen in front. The restaurant was the size of a hallway somehow they jammed pack little tables and chairs in it. The table next to me was like less than a foot away. Talk about in intimate. But never The less the food was delicious. I got the shrimp wonton and Hubs got the spicy Sichuan with beef. Both has a good broth, some bok Choy in it. If your in the area i would recommend.

If you want a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup to warm you up from the cold, this is a really great place to come. It was inexpensive, the food was super fast, the noodles were fresh and handmade right in the front, and the food was delicious. I'd highly recommend this place if you want a break from French food and craving some Asian food / noodles. The place is small, so you may have to wait. We got lucky and didn't have to wait on a Sunday night for dinner around 8:00/8:30 pm, but the tables turnover rather quickly. This is best if you have 2-4 people in your party as the place is not very large and there is not a lot of room or big tables. For comparison of other Asian food in Paris, we had also eaten at Pates Vivantes and Kunitoraya - Bistro Udon for other noodle soups, and this one at Happy Nouilles was our favorite of the 3. All 3 places make their own fresh noodles right there, but this one was our favorite in terms of the dishes, quality, and price. The spicy beef noodle soup is one of their most popular dishes and for good reason - the broth is great, spicy, but not overly spicy where your tastebuds will burn off and you can't taste anything else, and not salty. The noodles were chewy and al dente, and the beef was well marinated, the texture was good, and had lots of flavor and spices. This is a traditional Taiwanese beef soup. We also got a stirfry dish of noodles and beef, which was also good. Not too many vegetables, but the sauce was good and the right amount, and we finished every little bit. We got the gyozas which I could go either way on. They were being made in the back and then brought out on a tray, and then warmed up in the microwave when you ordered them. The skin was a bit on the thicker side, but the gyozas were a decent size and not super small. They were good, but not sure I would necessarily get them again. Most the dishes are around 10€, and reasonable for the quantity of food you get. I'd definitely come back here! It's a great place if you like noodles and Asian food!

Its embarrassing but I've been here 5 times since discovering this place just 3 weeks ago. It's a small Chinese restaurant and if I hadn't read the reviews online, I probably just would've walked right past it like I do for most of the other Asian restaurants in the area. They hand-make their noodles and they are seriously so delicious! At only 6.90€ for a bowl of noodles..it is such a satisfying dinner! I've tried the "Sichuan", the lamb, beef, and the porc haché. Sichuan is a spicy broth and it comes with beef brisket but sometimes they give more tendon then meat which I dont like at all. The broths for lamb and beef are the same but I always ask them to make it spicy and its always the perfect balance! The only thing is, for the porc haché, the broth is a spicy miso broth and its so delicious but extremely salty so be prepared to add water to it yourself in order to dilute it. My favorite pairing with the noodles is by far the lamb. They also have really cheap beer and delicious looking stir fried noodles with their homemade noodles which I need to try at some point. Their nems (egg rolls) are average but they also under-fry it and so you get a bit of the dough-y wrapping that isn't completely cooked all the way through. So glad I found this place, its so close to wear I live! The noodles here are comparable and if not better than most I've had while living in Vancouver and California (which is kinda a big deal).

I come to Paris and the first meal I have is Chinese? Yes, because this place is excellent, incredible, and authentic. My boyfriend and I have been a bit disappointed with the availability of really good Chinese places in London. We specifically came here based on the reviews, price, and it's location to our apartment. I am so happy this was our first meal here because it was so delicious, I was tempted to eat here every day. I had my boyfriend order everything in Mandarin and the menu is only in French or Mandarin so I'm not sure how English-speaking friendly this place is but I would still recommend it. The noodles are worth any language barrier! I can't decide what is the best part of the meal; rich soup base, soft noodles, or melt in your mouth beef. And together you get a balanced, perfect beef noodle dish. I felt like I was back in Asia eating at a little family run noodle shop serving the best quality, absolutely delicious noodles. I recommend the third noodle type (counting from left to right on the menu, thinner cut) as it is the easiest to eat. But you really can't go wrong with any dish or noodle type here, I highly HIGHLY recommend this place!

Alex P.

Authentic, home-made and extremely tasty are some of the adjectives that come to mind. The reason why I'm giving Happy Nouilles "only" four stars is because some of the dishes required an extra "kick" and some additional seasoning to be absolutely perfect. The noodles themselves however, are perfect - fresh and cooked to slightly chewy perfection. As Europe is, generally speaking, a proverbial desert as far as good Asian cuisine is concerned, I recommend visiting Happy Nouilles if you have a chance.

Cheap and delicious noodle spot close to the Les Halles area. Depending on the waiter, English may be limited, but they have a picture menu which is helpful. Interior is clean and bare.

This place is a mouthgasm for avid noodle soup lovers. I ordered the #4 which is basically spicy ground pork served upon a flavorful broth and with the famous Happy Nouilles. You get a choice of four noodles as I can remember from the menu, but the one to get is the (Filay mon du bley) excuse my phonetic spelling of the french word, but these noodles are simply shredded by hand into the soup. The noodles are thick and chewy...think of a thicker chowfun/pad see eww noodle. The #4 was spicy and goes nice with a tall bottle of tsingtao. I also tried the dumplings which only set you back about 4 euros and are a meal in itself. They stuff these things with a hefty amount of meat! To continue on to explain about the #4....it is mind blowing. It was spicy, chewy, and delicious. I cannot find any other words to explain what it is and this was my first time having noodle soup like this. The restuarant is definitely a fusion of other Asian cuisines and I will be back for more. One of my favorite restuarants in Paris so far. Absolutely Spectacular for 10 euros including a beer! read more

Just spent 27 euros, whooooo, :P for one plate of potstickers, not good at all but comforting, I am a Asian and I just walked 6 hours inside Versailles! I needed this bad potstickers, but well, don't order it if you want to judge it.. Anyway, one plate of Potstickers, 2 sichuan beef noodle, one for my breakfast and one for there for dinner, and my hubby's chicken stir fried nodded. Do you know how much was it? 27 euros. If you want fancy, super cool, great service with fine ambiance, Forget it. If you want cheap to good soup noodle shop? this is for you! The super cool thing was that we had to walk 30 feet to this place :) Now you can guess where we are staying! Anyway, ask me if you want nice cozy little studio to rent for Paris trip. We are happy with many things! Oh, don't try to order non-noodle dishes :) read more

Knowing how discerning French palates are, I don't really understand the great ratings on Yelp. We came here because of the ratings and were underwhelmed. We ordered fried dumplings which were great at $4.50. I love dumplings. But did not love these. The outside was very thick and doughy. I took out the meat which was pork and it had no taste. Needed ginger and garlic --yes, I have made dumplings before. We also ordered Imperial chicken which were fried pieces of chicken in a red sauce with peppers and some small sliced carrots. The dish was passable at best. We also ordered the szechwan pork which came with peppers. I asked for it spicy and it was delivered spicy. The pieces of pork could only be found with a good pair of eyeglasses. Tiny pieces of pork with no seasoning. So our visit here was a bust. BUT HERE IS WHY I AM LISTING THIS RESTAURANT ON THE PLACES TO EAT IN PARIS: The main things here are the homemade noodles either with meat or in a soup. There were many asians eating here enjoying their noodles. I did not have the noodles as hubby is carbo-phobic. No carbs for him and what would I do with a plateful of noodles by myself? So this is a place that you may want to try if you love those homemade noodles that the guy makes right in the restaurant. You can actually see him making the noodles through the window. I leave it up to you to make the decision as to whether you like this place or not. Let me know. read more

I am going to preface this by saying I have lived in China and know what the real deal is when it comes to Chinese food. This place, is the real deal. I walked in and spoke Chinese with the staff (always a good sign) and we were seated quickly and served quickly. We had three dishes and the total was 21 Euros, a bargain for Paris! Everything was super tasty and authentic. If I had more time in paris I would have come back again! Highly recommend to those looking for Chinese food in Paris, and especially one that is super reasonably priced! read more

Happy Nouilles (Happy Noodles) is aptly named. In the window, before you go in, you can watch the noodles being thrown by hand from fresh dough. It reminds me a bit of noodle shops in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn. This is a great place to grab a cheap, quick lunch. If the noodles weren't house made, I would give it a pass, but they put the mediocre soup over the top into the craveable category. If you like spicy, you'll find one of Paris's spiciest dishes here: the Zati, which is noodle soup with ground pork and bok choy. You can have the bouillon on the side or mixed. If spice isn't your thing, then try the beef or lamp dishes, or ask for less spice. Finally, take a pass on the pre made and microwaved appetizers, but the soup dumplings are pretty good. read more

After some French food fatigue (delicious though) my husband and I decided to try a Chinese place since there is a nice population of restaurants in the Arts and Metiers area. We choose Happy Nouilles since the yelp reviews mentioned hand pulled noodles. There was a nice guy making noodles in the windows so I couldn't resist! I had their beef noodle soup, potstickers and my husband had stir fried noodles reminiscent of korean Japchae. Really tasty broth, so I can recommend whole heartedly. Though, my husband was a little sad they microwaved his noodles... read more

Awesome hand pulled noodles. Definitely try the thick rice noodle - it had such an interesting shape and great, chewy texture. I enjoyed these in the veggie soup with pork broth. Loved the spices & flavors, but definitely add the hot oil for some extra kick. The sauteed bok choy with garlic was fantastic too. Could have put that sauce on everything. Went with 3 people, split 1 bottle of wine, and ended up paying 14 euro for my share. Very good price, and for such excellent quality. read more

This place is a game-changer. They provide you with authentic Asian flavors that are elevated with a freshness that is unparalleled by other restaurants. I went with two friends; we each ordered different dishes, and we were each amazed by the taste. The portions are well-sized to the point where a good eater like me was more than satisfied with an appetizer and an entrée. It also wasn't too costly, around €15 for four spring rolls and a heaping portion of fried noodles. All in all, would highly recommend. read more

Situated in the heart of Paris a tiny hole in the wall waits, the steam will fill your lungs carrying scents of ramen and broth as stroll in this tiny hole. For less than €10 you can buy a meal and a drink that's quality is higher than most €30 french restaurants as you watch the chef make and toss some of the best noodles you will eat. The tables are dirty, the waiters are rude yet a sense of humbleness and warmth is overwhelming. If the decor is what you look for in a restaurant then maybe you can find somewhere more pricey set for tourists on the Seine. This hole in the wall is for people who enjoy good food. It is disappointing that the only negative reviews are critiquing the decor rather than the food. Yes it is scruffy and dirty but money and decor doesn't make a good meal, food does. read more

3 stars at best. I went with the advice of fellow Yelpers and ordered the spicy minced pork noodle bowl (filet de porc haché au miso et aux lamens épicé) for 6€90. It was pretty busy for 1:45 in the afternoon on a weekday but my bowl of soup arrived in about 10-15 minutes. I watched an employee stretch the pasta dough and make noodles while I waited. The noodles were the best part. They had a marvelous texture and there were plenty of them in the pork miso broth. The broth was very lackluster and one dimensional. It needed some additional flavors--garlic, ginger, cilantro, lime? I'm not sure but all I really tasted was salt, some spice, and oil from the ground pork. I'll probably come back after I get tired of typical bistro and café fare again but will try a soup with slices of beef or one of their rice dishes. In summary, good when you're craving these flavors and don't want to drop 25€ on lunch. These hot bowls of soup would probably be fantastic, as another Yelper suggested, if you had a hangover or were otherwise feeling under the weather. NB: It looked like there was a 20€ minimum for debit/credit cards. read more

One of the best places to eat in Paris! Duck soup is my go to dish here. The broth is amazingly flavorful and the noodles as fresh! The only con is that there is limited seating so it can get a little cramped at times. read more

This is a really small place. The best thing about it is it's relatively affordable. The food is not bad, and the staff is generally helpful. If you need a fast bite to eat, this place is it. read more

I showed up here blind drunk at 5 pm on a Tuesday in March. I ordered a family sized portion of noodles and when it arrived, thought to myself "there's no way I can eat this whole thing by myself." Shortly after having that thought, I suppose I must have blacked out because I looked down and the entire plate was clean and I felt 20 pounds heavier. There was also a 20 euro bill on the table so I assumed that I had yet to pay, but when I tried to hand it to my server, I was told I had already paid. I have no idea what transpired that afternoon, but I do know that the food was delicious enough to eat my weight's worth, and the staff was forgiving enough not to charge me twice. Overall great experience, and a cherished memory (even if I don't fully remember it). read more

The only thing more satisfying than watching them make the noodles through the window is eating them. Excellent broth and even better nouilles. read more

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!

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!

I'm a regular at this tiny, cramped, but extremely tasty hand-made Chinese noodle restaurant. The staff is very busy but welcoming and nice. Service is speedy but very organized. And the food is just delicious. The soup broth is full of flavor, and the hand-made fresh noodles are a delight. I usually order the Sichuan soup, with spicy beef pieces on top. A marvel!! read more
