川江号子 Saveur du Sichuan — Restaurant in Paris

I am pretty exigent about spicy food but this one is nice (although they do put lots of vegetables beneath which is not very nice), however the service is far from satisfying. First there seemed to be a problem with their telephone because we called several times but no one was answering, and when we asked they said that there was no problem. The place is small so there's often a lot of people waiting, and a priori the reception can call you back so you don't have to wait at the door, but the thing is, first they never called us back, and when we called there's always nobody answering, what's worse was this one waitress who asked people to wait outside, she didn't know how to talk properly, and when we explained that we had left our numbers and we came back because no one called us, she just didn't listen and basically pushed us out. Plus, we arrived like 20 minutes after they opened and we were told to wait for one hour. Despite the quality of the food their service really made me never want to...

Don't go here if your an American person, or of you expect any form of a normal pleasant restaurant experience. We were treated sooooo rudely, like nothing we've ever experienced before, and were ultimately never served. We stood in the line and patiently waited for our turn, when finally up to the front of line and next to enter, they literally kept saying No No no to us as they allowed in numerous sets of Asian people that we're standing in line waiting that were behind us. All we received was no no no. By far the rudest we've ever been treated in our life as we were completely descriminted right to our face and still in shock over the experience. I'm sure the food is very delicious based on the customer base, but with all the wonderful local restaurants to choose from, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME EATING HERE AT THIS DISCRIMINATING...

I was really pleased with this place. Nice and spicy! Normally I am skeptical of Chinese food in Europe. It’s not where the really excel, IMO. Never quite spicy enough for me. But I was walking by and there were two woman enjoying a fantastic looking hotpot in the window and we’ll…I got sucked in. It was lunch but the special lunch menu really didn’t look exciting so we went with a la carte. Ordered the Sichuan Chicken and some ( I think) sautéed pea pods with minced pork. ( We ordered green beans but these seemed more like pea pods… better for me!!). Both were outstanding. Planning to go back for the hotpot. It appeared to be the most popular dish, even during lunch.
