Chez Alex Wenzhou
Alex juggles plates that smell like delicious Wenzhou street food. The bao, jiaozi (homemade dumplings), and eggplants with meat are some of the best in the neighborhood. Little bonus: the portions are generous and the service is always smiling. We also come back for the crispy stir-fried dishes and the homemade sauces that elevate every bite. A sure bet.

Le Grand Bol
Here, forget about the same old stir-fried noodles you've had a thousand times at buffets. They serve more refined specialties like the "precious pagoda pork" and the "bridge-crossing rice noodles" from Yunnan. It’s a culinary journey at a sweet price! Their roast duck is also a must-try, with its crispy skin and juicy meat. Special mention for their spicy dishes that really warm up your taste buds !

Aux Mandarins de Belleville
A charming restaurant where you come for the crispy duck worthy of the finest tables in Beijing, the Chinese fondues, and the homemade dim sum that will make you swoon. If you're looking to feast with all your friends and try a delightful variety of Mandarin dishes, this is the place to book. We absolutely love: their dried green beans, the wonderfully tender eggplants, their crab fried rice, and the shrimp in spicy sauce.

Lao Lane Xang 2
A grand classic of the 13th arrondissement, Lao Lane Xang 2 is loved by everyone! But be careful, don’t let its trendier decor fool you—prices remain the same, which definitely explains the long line outside the restaurant every evening. On the food side, Lao Lane Xang 2 sets the bar high: you’ll find typical dishes from Laos, Vietnam, and even Thailand. For dessert, we recommend their specialty: sticky rice with fresh mango and coconut milk—such a treat!

Shang Palace
Located in the Shangri La Hotel, Shang Palace isn’t your typical Asian restaurant. And that's because its chef, Frank Xu, has earned a Michelin star. So yes, while the budget might be a little higher than what you’d expect in the 13th, if you’re looking to treat yourself, you’ve found the perfect spot! Think traditional herbal soups, stir-fried vegetables, or dim sum. We also recommend trying their fish dishes, like the pan-seared turbot. It’s a fantastic spot for a lovely date!
Address: 10 Av. d'Iéna, 75116 Paris, France
Tricotin
Another beloved spot in the neighborhood, Tricotin is THE canteen of the area. And as if one restaurant wasn't enough, there's a second one right across the street, simply named "Tricotin 2". It's a great place if you’re looking for a not-too-expensive restaurant to take your whole crew since there are lots of big tables. On the menu, you'll find classic dishes like Bo Bun, Phở, and imperial spring rolls. A budget-friendly restaurant you should definitely try at least once!

Pho Tai
Super tip alert! This little restaurant hidden in a quiet street of the Chinese neighborhood is a gem. If you're looking for an excellent typical Vietnamese restaurant that's affordable, we highly recommend visiting Pho Tai. Their hearty Bo Bun is divine, and the service is impeccable. Try to arrive early because the dining area is small and the customers are many. And for the latecomers, the restaurant "Pho Tai Tai" is right across the street at number 18, run by the owner’s sister. You'll find the same menu but most importantly, the same prices.
Address: 13 Rue Philibert Lucot, 75013 Paris, France
A Day in Hanoi
In just a few years, this restaurant on Rue Daguerre has become the trendy spot in the 14th arrondissement. And for good reason, it’s almost impossible to dine here without a reservation. This success, A Day in Hanoi, is undoubtedly due to its authentic products, straight out of our grandmothers' cookbooks. We recommend the typical Com Niêu (a sizzling pot where caramelized pork finishes cooking with coconut milk and a simmered egg). If you're not convinced yet, know that a full meal will cost you no more than €15.
Address: 46 Rue Daguerre, 75014 Paris, France
Delice de Condorcet
Here’s one of those secrets we wish we could keep to ourselves, but it’s impossible not to share the delightful surprise that is Delice de Condorcet, a little Chinese gem that’s truly one of a kind. They serve us divine noodles in all kinds of colors, paired with some fresh little vegetables, and a heap of pastel-colored rainbow dumplings that are so cute we almost hesitate to take a bite. The dumpling dough is thin and delicate, and the fillings (pork, beef, shrimp, or vegetarian) are exquisite. Our taste buds can hardly believe the amazing flavors!

888 NIGHTMARKET | 一村夜话
Located just a stone's throw from Beaubourg, 888 NIGHTMARKET takes you on an immersive experience in the heart of Chinese night markets. On the agenda: a menu that's half street food, half restaurant with an amazing value for money. You'll love the melting eggplants, the grilled dumplings made from a family recipe, and especially the Korean fried chicken with its sweet and spicy sauce, but above all the juicy lamb skewers with secret spices, a true emblem of Chinese night markets. An authentic and delicious place we adore for a plunge into China as if you were there!

Kapunka
If Kapunka means "thank you" in Thai, it's no coincidence. It's the first word that comes to mind when you step out of these lovely restaurants with stylish decor. On the menu, there are classics of Thai cuisine beautifully executed: mikati (a recipe made with noodles, peanuts, and coconut), satay skewers, or delightful spring rolls. A sure bet for a quick bite, with a Thai beer in hand! Good news: Kapunka now includes 4 restaurants in Paris, all gluten-free, with a 100% vegan option in the 2nd arrondissement.
