Shanghai Epoque - Paris

Ate lunch on a Thursday after visiting the nearby Army museum. Excellent Chinese food and quick, attentive, and pleasant staff. Lots of apparent Chinese immigrants dining there a good sign! A few non Asians also there. There is a limited menu handwritten in English if you don’t speak Chinese or French. The Kung Pao chicken and the shredded pork in chili sauce were especially good. Reasonably priced.

This venue is very close to the hotel where we stayed so one evening after a very long day walking and sight seeing we walked by it and decided we were hungry for Chinese food so went in. Our first meal there was very good. I had lemon chicken and fried rice for the main and to start some steamed pork dumplings. My husband had the duck and steamed dumplings as well along with fried rice. This meal was extremely good and inexpensive so we went back a couple of days later. I am afraid our next dinner there was not as great. My ;husband had the duck again and was happy however I changed to almond chicken which was not great. So I think it is kind of the luck of the draw. The food appears to be prepared freshly as there was a bit of a wait so I can say it can be good but not sure I would recommend it. They do take away so you could order and take something back to your hotel if you wish.

We had our early dinner here consisting of beef noodles, bok choi vegetable and fried rice with chicken plus coffee and tea. The restaurant was quiet at the time and the waiters had much time serving us. The food was okay and atmosphere just nice for relaxing. The location is not so strategic as it is located facing the Esplanade. It could easily be missed. It is an ideal spot to look for Chinese food.

We arrived 15 min before closing but received excellent service of very tasty food. Generous portions of the two entrees and jasmine rice. If we return to Paris we will likely also return to this restaurant.

Lea baos is good. eggplant pot, gambas, lacquered duck, or shrimps of salt and power. It's all right. and the price is affordable. I like bcp.
