Foodi Jia-Ba-Buay — Restaurant in Paris

Among all the Taiwanese restaurants I've tried in Paris, I had the worst experience ever here. My friend and I asked for a table on the terrace, the female manager kindly told us that the only table left for 2 was next to the ventilation so probably not the best. Ok. Then I asked for an indoor table next to the window, only to be rejected again because it was a "table for three". (It was 8 pm and only half full).

We tried: The wontons : Both the pork and the vegetable ones and they were tasty! The Gua Bao (Taiwanese burgers): we tried both the pork and the vegan ones with tofu.
