Most are ok...but I was very pleased to find a great place just around the corner. It is a quiet little restaurant with a mixture of atmosphere...a bit French with Kir and Wine to drink but the food is all Asian just the way it should be. I had scallops in spicy garlic sauce with noodles and my husband had the plate de jour (set meal) of hot and sour soup and spicy pork. It was very very good...not too fancy just yummy. We will definitely be regulars. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g187147-d1769795-r126676208-Cathay_Palace-Paris_Ile_de_France.html#

We only had the Thai dishes here, because why go to a Thai-owned restaurant to eat Vit or dim sum;…read morethey would be much better at the specialist outfits. Pretty classy décor for a Paris 13ème restaurant - former French president François Hollande dined here! The salads (key is in the preparation of the fish-sauce-based dressing) are pretty authentic and quite appetising. Likewise for the tom yum soup (only one kind here) - yummy. The cooked dishes are ok, but not the stuff that Thai foodies would scream about: the curries are too westernised - lacking spiciness and flavour; the fried fish is insufficiently seasoned (in Thailand, you can even eat the bone!) ; no difficult dish like lemongrass and lime steamed fish. Pro-active and friendly multi-Asian staff (Thái, Vit). Desserts are wayyyy toooo sweet. We came back in June 2018. Some in our party had pho - not authentic at all and quite an insult to the real thing! The Thái dishes are OK - not the best but pretty good.

Affordable, authentic Vietnamese/Thai cuisine in the heart of Paris' China town. Let me start off…read moreby saying how fresh everything tastes. I'm from San Francisco, so I'm constantly comparing all the cuisine I have in France to the holi-ness that is the Bay Area's China town. The ambiance is beautiful, the waiters dress up in traditional Thai attire, and it's a warm, comfortable place to catch up with old friends. We got down and dirty with the seafood noodles, a bowl of Pho, fried lemongrass tofu, and their chicken and mushroom dish. For dessert we had tri-colored tapioca (che ba mau), coconut/banana rice pudding, and the sweet tofu. Can you say mouth orgasm? The mushrooms were tender and flavorful, the noodles addictive, and the Pho soup was as good as any I've had in the states. All dishes were under 11 euros. For the three of us, the total came out to about 50 euros, including dessert and tip. Which is a hell of a deal in snobby Paris.

The secret to quality cooking is the proper mixing of hot, sweet, and sour flavors, and this eatery nails it. Their dishes have a home-cooked touch: try their beef jerky appetizer, spicy sour soup, and sticky rice. Like spicy? Just ask, and you'll be sweating bullets by the end of the meal.

Great restaurant, always a pleasure to go there and for a Thai-Lao-Vietnamese restaurant in Paris,…read morein my opinion, the food is quite authentic.

This is my second time going there. During the weekend lunch hour, it is tad bit crowded. First…read moretime I was there, I didn't have to wait for the table. The secobd time, I had to wait about 10minutes. The wait is well worth it though! I recommend ordering the"menu" that they have. I ordered the 3rd/4th? Menu option (it was the last option). It started with a spicy fish soup, fried shrimps then the main of green curry with beef, fried rice with pork and some chicken. The menu is more than enough to share with 2 people. The fish soup - it was a type of subtle hot where you only notice how spicy it is after half way when your nose is runny. The veggies and fish were delicious. A few sprinkles of coriander Fried shrimp - I do enjoy fried shrimps but this was an excellent fried shrimp. The outside was super crispy with bread crumbs and there was a light soft dough around the shrimp. Mmmm the experience of chewing that... Green curry with beef - It was good green curry but nothing to write home about Chicken - I am not sure what the sauce was. I assume sweet and sour. I was distracted by the other dishes to notice much about this. It was good but not good enough to stand out Fried rice with pork - There were pieces of pork in the fried rice. It had a slight hint of sweet flavor (honey glazed?) But those pieces were mainly salty which made a great balance to the fried rice. I didn't think I would ever rave about fried rice but this place changed my mind To end my lunch meal, I had ordered this "flan" made out of coconut milk with green tea. If you love coconut, I definitely recommend this! It came warmed up. It was soft and coconut-goodness. Heads up, the service isn't great. But you shouldn't be going here for the service but the food. I am happy as long as they don't throw my food

Stopped here after coming back from a mini vacation in Nice…read more My aunt literally ordered everything off the menu except for may three items. (Hilariously so, since she had a whole lecture about portion control just right before that). Food came out really quick and really seemed like it kept coming out and wasn't going to stop. My favorite dish was a papaya salad. Really light and refreshing. All the food here was really good and authentic.
