As promised, I am writing a list of chinese restaurants in Paris that I go to frequently and highly recommend. I can assure you, what you are going to taste in these restaurants is mostly comparable to what you can find in China, not the best though, but satisfying enough.
Personnaly I prefer spiced food. If you don’t share my taste, don’t worry, you can still find many delicious but mild dishes in the following top 10. And the great thing about going to Chinese restaurants in Paris is that you can enjoy good dishes with quite modest price most of the time. So don’t hesitate to have a try.
L’Orient d’Or 福源丰
Address: 22, Rue de Trévise, 75009 Paris
Metro: Cadet@M7, Grand boulvard@M8/M9
Tel: 01 48 00 07 73
Hours: 12:00-14:3019:00-22:30, Monday closed
Comments: Yep, let’s begin with the hot spicy Hunan cuisine from my home town. You will find delicately prepared dishes here with lovely decorations. Don’t miss the shredded cabbages in a hot pot that you can find almost on every guest’s table. General Tso’s chicken and Chainman mao’s red-braised pork, these two very famous dishes here are only available when you order them ahead of time (They take long time to prepare).
Le Céleste Gourmand 福来居
Address: 8, Rue de la Tacherie, 75004 Paris
Metro: Hôtel de Ville@M1/M11, Sortie N°3
Tel: 01 44 59 37 68
Hours: Mon 18:30-22:30, Tue-Sun 12:00-14:30 18:30-22:30
Comments: the cook of this restaurant used to be the second cook of L’Orient d’Or. So you will find their menus are very similar. Personally I prefer this one. The price is slightly lower than the former and you will find more food in your dish. Ask the waiter about how spicy your dish will be. It can be extremely hot!
An Li 安里
Address: 46, Rue Richer, 75009 Paris
Metro: Cadet@M7, Grand boulvard@M8/M9
Tel: 1 42 46 43 09
Hours: 12:00-14:30 19:00-22:30
Comment: If you are looking for a real Beijing hot pot(chinese fondue), An Li is the only restaurant you should go to in Paris. In a very intellectually decorated environment, you will see the charm of the famous instant-boiled mutton of Beijing.
Carnet de Voyage 云南三和食府
Address: 4, RUE DE BUDAPEST，75009 PARIS
Metro: Saint-Lazare@M3/M13/M14/RER E
Hours: Sun 18:30-22:30, Mon-Sat 11:00-15:00 18:30-22:30
Tel: 01 48 78 24 50 / 01 48 78 41 62
Comment: Cuisine of the southern region of China. Their speciality is a wok of light beef soup with a slight fire under it to keep it boiling, which looks like the hot pot, but is actually a special dish from Yunnan, one of the southern most provinces of China. Don’t miss the Crossing the bridge noodles, which is always served with the hot soup. Several explanations of the origin of its interesting name can be found on the wiki page.
Restaurant le Lac de l’Ouest 家常菜馆
Address: 7 rue volta 75003 Paris
Metro: Art-et-Metiers@M3/M11
Tel: 01 42 77 30 82
Hours: Mon Wed Fri 18:00-22:30, Tus Thu Sat Sun 12:00-14:30 18:00-22:30
Comment: it’s a very small restaurant. So only gourmets come to taste its Boiled Beef in Fiery Sauce. Traditionally its a dish of Szechuan cuisine, but at Restaurant le Lac de l’Ouest, the cook inventively turns it into a dish of Zhejiang cuisine, which is less spicy. But the freshness and delicateness of the beef are preserved.
Li Ka Fu 利口福
Address: 39, AV DE CHOISY, 75013 PARIS
Metro: PORTE DE CHOISY@M7
Tel: 01 45 84 20 45
Hours: all time
Comment: There are many Cantonese restaurants in Paris. Li Ka Fu is absolutely my favorite. I recommend Crab spinach soup, Spareribs with black bean sauce and Cassolette of rice with all kinds of meat.
Noodle Bar 海记面食
Address: 31 bis，rue nationale, 75013 Paris
Metro: Olympiades@M14, Porte d’Ivry@M7
Tel: 0144238574
Hours: 11:30-15:00 18:30-23:00, Thursday closed
Comment: My favorate noodle restaurant. There are a great variety of noodles and fried rice. And their cold dishes are quite pleasant. I recommend the fresh fruit joice too. They even have durian juice milk there.
Restaurant Chez Yong 鼎鼎香私房菜

Tel: 01 45 65 17 88
Hours: 12:00-14:30 19:00-23:00, Monday closed
Comment: A good chinese restaurant close to Telecom ParisTech. The cuisine comes from both the Tsechuan and Shandong provinces which means that you can find both the southern style and the northern there. The Chinese steamed bread is very popular as a staple food among their French customers.
Restaurant Chez Dong 天天旺
Address: 82 rue baudricourt, 75013 Paris
Metro: Maison Blanche ,Tolbiac, Porte de Choisy@M7
Tel: 01 45 86 63 86/09 51 84 60 88

Comment: They must have a great cook, or rather several, great cooks. It’s always crowded… A huge collection of classical Tsechuan cuisine is ready for you to choose from. You wouldn’t like to miss Chuanr – a Chinese Kebab, a Xinjiang Cuisine dish that is loved all over China.

Metro: Place d’italie@M6/M7
Tel: 0145840081
Hours: 12h00-14h30,19h00-23h30, Thursday closed
Comment: Ready for some Shanghai Food? You can begin with some Xiaolongbaos – soup dumplings. I highly recommend the Plum Duck, which is a great example of deliciously flavored chinese dish. They also provide various fresh sweet drinks.
Thank you for the great list of restaurants and I have shared them on the Facebook page for my business !

Great list, thanks. I fully agree about Li Ka Fo being a favorite.
I second Délices du Shandong, really delicious.
Next time I will try the first one you`ve introduced!!!
Thank you very much for this sharing !
Great list, and thanks so much for posting! Our favorite Chinese place closed about a year ago, and I’ve not found a replacement. I can’t wait to get out and try each one of these.
David,
That was a very good list of Chinese restaurants, wish that I had it when I was there a few months ago given that I am Cantonese from Hong Kong, I am very spoiled with good Chinese food and one of those noodles looked amazing!!! We just came back from Shanghai and took a class on making those Xiao Long Bao (Steamed dumplings) and wow, talk about work! But they are surely good. Will have to try out these restaurants next time we are in Paris!! Thank you!!

I haven’t used meat in any of my dishes for years. I cook vegetarian Chinese dishes all the time now and have never have a problem cooking meatless.
Hi,
Would like to recommend a Chinese restaurant that I discovered. Tasty food at modest price. The chef is from Hong kong. Not only can he whip up superb Cantonese dishes, he can cook shanghai and vietnamese cuisine too. Check out the dim sum and desserts too!
The restaurant is “feng lai” and the nearest metro is oberkampf.

“Chez Dong” just changed its nameand recently became “Tian Tian Wang”. The cook is the same: delicious!
Hello,

Asian food is every bit as diverse as it is delicious. I used to think that I knew Asian foods growing up. You see, we used to go out to Chinese and practically every weekend. They were a couple Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood, and they were perfect for us kids. They were greasy, flavorful, and we got a cookie at the end of every meal. What more could a child ask for?”

What I didn’t realize was how much better Asian food could be than what my experience of it was. A lot of Chinese cuisine in America is actually nothing like the traditional style. It is much too greasy, and dominated by a simple array of flavors that doesn’t really capture the complexity of Asian cooking.;

Asian cuisine styles can be broken down into several tiny regional styles that have rooted the peoples and cultures of those regions. The major types can be roughly defined as East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Viet Nam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the continent.*

CAFARD DANS LE PLAT!! Nous avons commandé une marmite du canard à la bière. Nous avons trouvé un “CAFARD” mort dans le plat! C’était dégoûtant d’autant plus on était obligé de payé une partie de repas ! SCANDALEUX!!!!

je vous recommande bien ce restaurant chinois qui fait des nouilles artisanales à Paris se situe dans le 2ème, il s’appelle [YiShun Restaurant ], l’adresse [1 rue cherubini,75002; métro : Pyramide, Quatre-Septembre], toutes les nouilles sont faites à la main, très fraiches, pas chère non plus. A midi, les plats à emporter -10% mtn, donc c’est vraiment agréable. Il ne faut pas le louper, on peut aussi trouver des entrées aux prix entre 4-6 euros, les soupes et les nouilles sautées sont de prix 8euros, les raviolis maison sont délicieux, le service est gentil, pas d’autres choses a renforcer, IL FAUT Y ALLER, c’est tout.
I recommend a restaurant YiShun, this restaurant takes place [ 1 rue cherubni, 75002] closed to Opera, so we can take the metro line 7 to [Pyramide] or line 3 to [Quatre-Septembre], we can find some special things there, The chinese manuel Lamen!!! all of the noodle is made by hands, all of the noodle is tooo fresh, we can choose a soup or saut noodle, so finally, i recommend u to go to that Restaurant YiShun to taste their noodles !!! thoses r incredibles and unforgettable !
