    If you are looking for authentic Chinese food, here is not the right place to be!!!绝对不正宗! Roujiamo肉夹馍 is horrible with cinnamon bread and some tasteless dry pork. Gongpao chicken宫保鸡丁 is served with very little portion of chicken and is soaked in sweet and sour sauce... Fished flavour eggplant鱼香茄子 is again made with sweet and sour sauce. The food is overly sweet and I had been very thirsty for 3 hours after eating!!!!!!! I seriously doubt that the restaurant has put too much MSG in the food. By the way, I am born and raised as a Chinese. To answer the restaurant 's comment below: since the website has never showed the confirmation of my reservation, I called and booked it again under my husband's French last name instead of my maiden name "Chen".

    I was expecting this to be a mediocre Chinese food spot and little did I know that.... This turned out to be awesome! The Mapa tofu sauce was a perfect blend of just spicy enough and flavorful. The Eminces de porch pane sauce was just the right combination of fried and sugary. The d’aubergines were cooked perfectly as it’s hard to keep eggplant soft inside and fried outside, the cook did an excellent job. Seriously a pleasant surprise!

    (Translated by Google) Meal taken on the evening of June 30 and contrary to what some reviews comment, if I was Chinese, it is not here that I will take friends to discover the Chinese culinary pleasures. Very friendly team but unfortunately the quality of the products is not there ... Pekingese duck (look for the meat) ... Shrimp ravioli ... (frozen) ... etc ... Too bad! (Original) Repas pris le le 30 juin au soir et contrairement à ce que commentent certains avis, si j'étais chinois, ça n'est pas ici que j'y emmènerai des amis pour découvrir les plaisirs culinaires chinois. Équipe très sympathique mais malheureusement la qualité des produits n'y est pas....canard à la pékinoise (cherchez la viande)... Raviolis de crevette...(surgelés)...etc... Dommage !

    The food is nice! The jiangnan ribs is even a bit unexpected. The meat is so well cooked that even the bones are soft. I like the biangbiang noodle also very much! It’s an interesting combination but very delicious! The staff are very helpful and nice.

    (Translated by Google) The food is simply excellent and authentic from Xi An. The preparation of the dishes is perfectly mastered and the service very good. I recommend their turnovers (Chinese-style burgers) if, however, their success has not got the better of their stock ... Lovers of spicy food, you will be served :) (Original) La nourriture y est tout simplement excellente et authentique de Xi An. La préparation des plats est parfaitement maîtrisée et le service très bon. Je recommande leurs chaussons (burgers à la chinoise) si toutefois leur succès n'aura pas eu raison de leur stock... Amateurs de nourriture épicée, vous serez servis :)

    (Translated by Google) What a great discovery that this Chinese restaurant that a friend made me discover. The dishes are delicious. I especially liked the small fried eggplant baguettes covered in a sweet vinegar sauce. A delight! The staff is very nice. It’s a place that I highly recommend. Don't forget to book. They are full! (Original) Quelle belle découverte que ce restaurant chinois qu’une amie m’a fait découvrir. Les plats sont succulents. J’ai particulièrement aimé les petites baguettes d’aubergines frites recouvertes de sauce sucrée vinaigrée. Un régal! Le personnel est très sympa. C’est un lieu que je recommande fortement. Ne pas oublier de réserver. Ils sont pleins!

  • 1/5 Dani l. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I went there to find traditional Chinese food but came out disappointed with the restaurant. The steamed shrimp ravioli were frozen foods found at the Paris Store. The Shanghai cabbage with mushrooms was bland, the products were steamed and coated in a sauce before serving. The pepper beef was poor in quantity as well as the quality of the meat. In terms of value for money, I find it bad. (Original) Je m'y suis rendu pour trouver de la cuisine traditionnelle chinoise mais je suis ressortis déçu par le restaurant. Les raviolis aux crevettes vapeur étaient du surgelés qu'on trouve au Paris Store. Le chou shangaien aux champignons était fade, les produits ont été cuits à la vapeur et nappés d'une sauce avant de servir . Le boeuf au poivre était pauvre en quantité ainsi que la qualité de la viande. En terme de rapport qualité prix, je le trouve mauvais.

    (Translated by Google) During the week at noon, the delicious menu of the day at low price is unbeatable to feast on at low prices, and it's plentiful. I have tested the whole card and have never been disappointed. Flavors not found in any other Asian restaurant. And the service is top notch. (Original) En semaine le midi, le délicieux menu du jour à prix modique est imbattable pour se régaler à petit prix, et c'est copieux. J'ai testé toute la carte et je n'ai jamais été déçu. Des saveurs qu'on ne retrouve dans aucun autre restaurant asiatique. Et le service est au top.

  • 5/5 陳庭偉 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Highly recommended !!! Sweet vinegar eggplant is my favorite dish in Engimono. As a Taiwanese, these dishes may make me miss my hometown. If you have never tried Chinese food, you should come here and enjoy. (Original) Hautement recommandé !!! Les aubergines vinaigrées sucrées est mon plat préféré à Engimono. En tant que Taïwanais, ces plats peuvent me faire regretter ma ville natale. Si vous n'avez jamais essayé la cuisine chinoise, vous devriez venir ici et apprécier.

  • 5/5 Olivier V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A must when I want to eat something that is a bit off the beaten track. I managed to introduce it to friends or family who don't usually like this style of cooking at all, verdict: they are the ones who recommend it now. As many comments specify: take several dishes to share, it's more user-friendly, and allows you to test different flavors. (Original) Un incontournable dès que j'ai envie de manger quelque chose qui sort un peu des sentiers battus. J'ai réussi à le faire découvrir à des amis ou de la famille qui n'aiment pas du tout ce style de cuisine habituellement, verdict : ce sont eux qui le recommandent désormais. Comme beaucoup de commentaires le précisent : prenez plusieurs plats à partager, c'est plus convivial, et permet de tester différentes saveurs.

    (Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant, very good cuisine, refined. This is not Asian cuisine that we are not used to. The dishes are plentiful. The waitresses are friendly, they give good advice so that you discover new dishes (eg their courgettes or their pasta). Go there and enjoy yourself! (Original) Excellent restaurant, très bonnes cuisines, raffinées. Ce n'est pas de la cuisine asiatique dont on n'a pas l'habitude. Les plats sont copieux. Les serveuses sont sympathiques, elles donnent des bons conseils afin que vous découvriez de nouveau plats (ex leurs courgettes ou leurs pâtes). Allez y et régalez vous !

  • 1/5 Dora T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I don't know how to evaluate it. I'm disappointed. I think the chef should be able to make authentic Sichuan food, but I repeatedly asked the waiter if I could tell the chef to ask for authentic Sichuan food. Don’t improve the non-spicy and sweet dishes for the French. I promised that it’s okay. . In the end, the waiters couldn’t communicate with the chef... Why couldn’t the internal people communicate with each other... Finally, the dishes served were improved. The sweet taste instantly felt like I had said so much for nothing. I really can’t laugh or cry. We wanted to eat authentic Sichuan food, but it didn’t work in the end... We ordered almost four dishes in total. We were very, very speechless. It was obvious that the chef of Sichuan was able to communicate with him, but the waiter refused to let us communicate, and they did not help. A meal of "sweet Chinese food"... After spending so much money on unauthentic Chinese food, there is really no way to score high (Original) 不知道怎么评价了,比较失望吧。我觉得厨师应该可以做出正宗的川菜,但是反复和服务员提能否和厨师说要正宗的川菜,不要改良过的给法国人吃的那种不辣且甜的菜,满口答应说没问题的。最后结果服务员他们又没办法和厨师沟通… 为什么内部的人互相不能沟通…最后果然上的菜是改良的,甜甜的味道瞬间觉得之前说那么多白说了,真的哭笑不得,前期点菜说了我们想吃正宗川菜,最后并没有用……我们总共点了差不多四个菜 我们非常非常无语,明明厨师四川人,可以和他沟通,服务员不让我们沟通,他们又不帮忙沟通,结果吃了一顿“甜中国菜”……花了那么多钱吃了不正宗的中餐,真的没办法给高分了
