回家吃饭 manger à la maison — Restaurant in Paris

A decent spot for Szechuan food in Paris, though not exactly the place for hardcore mala lovers.

We started with two vegetable dishes: the stir-fried string beans with minced pork and peppers were flavorful and well-executed. The steamed vegetables with soy sauce, however, leaned too salty for our taste.

We also tried the steamed whole fish, which came in a soy-based sauce with scallions and chili.

They went out of their way to understand us, another customer there tried to help us as well and it all worked out. The food was tasty and great. This is one of the nicest experience I will take from...

The dishes really lacked flavor—very bland and not at all spicy, even though we asked for the regular spice level.

Even the Mapo Tofu was so mild that my 3-year-old daughter could eat it without any problem.

It wasn’t bad, just very tasteless. Prices are affordable, restrooms were clean, but service was slow (only one waitress for the whole...
