Best Chinese food in Paris... thus far

Le Salon de Thé Wen Zhou
24, rue de Belleville
75020 Paris
M: Belleville
Tel: 01.46.36.56.33


I had been here previously with Kat. And then today with Amanda. Get the fresh made buns (any of them), spicy eggplant, noodles... and they even have NIAN GAO ! (Sticky rice cake). I'm getting that shit next time. (Btw, it is totally not a "salon de thé").

I felt like I was back in California... well almost.

It was nice to speak my broken Mandarin with them. And hear the owners talk really loud and say things like "crazy/mental and stupid" in Mandarin.

I even found Zhi Ma Qio (Ping ying is way off - Sesame rice balls with red bean paste) a couple doors down. It was overcooked but still tasty. I will go in the morning when they are more fresh.

This place beats all the crap that is around Paris.

I am happy. Very happy.

The end.

You are completely right. They were pretty "rude" compared to the French-Chinese at other restos here. But if I had to compare the French-Chinese people at this resto to those in California - they are quite nice.
