Authentic Sichuan flavor, I can't eat spicy, the vegetable dish without chili are also very fresh and tasty, beyond expectation. Highly recommend.

The food is decent overall. The 干鍋雞 stands out as the best dish we ordered. Definitely recommend people coming here if they crave for some Chinese food.

Loved this place. Had the Mapo tofu and the Sichuan eggplants, as well as dumplings. Truly lovely flavours, didn’t expect it to taste SO good! We were really happy with what we were served. Will come back for sure.

Overall, the service is ok, and the staff are friendly. The dishes are savory and closely resemble the flavors from Yichuan China. The grilled skewers are truly impressive, and my friends and I have returned multiple times specially for that.

Best Chinese BBQ I tried in Paris!!! Very nice the BBQ but a little bit expensive. Average 25-30e/person, if it could be cheaper, it will be wonderful. 狼牙土豆 (lang ya tu dou) is very nice and quite spicy!!! There you can also find barbeque porc brain (烤脑花儿), haha.

Absolutely the best Chinese food in Paris, after having not lived in China for a few years, this brings back all the good memories of tasty food from when I was growing up.
