Restaurant JIA YAN — Restaurant in Paris

We ordered 4 dishes and two noodles as a group of 5 people with 1 kid included. The food was ok which is just average. But the service experiences was really not pleasant. This was typically we said “racist treatment” since they see us as their own race and tried to show some “privilidges” by treating us less than other faces. We came here to travel with a bit expection of home taste but not discrimination. For instance, even the tab water bottle was so small which only could suit one person and we have five people! Next table the group of three have a bigger water bottle 3-4 times bigger than ours! We ordered a wine even. Not to mention the talking tone was very not nice and so warmer and nicer to other people. It took us more time to ask for some extra plates/cultary for each person and no one ever checked whether we are ok. This actually began with when we entered the door without a reservation and being refused to sit almost anywhere but the table in front of the door - by excuses that all other tables were reserved and they all will come before 8(it was 7:45), and actually by the time we left there was no one came at all (2-3 extra tables for 4-5 people and we left around 20:50). Given the fact we indicated that we have some people sensitive to cold and have back problems. I don’t think it was even reserved or even it was - did anyone reserve specific table. Also, there were some small side dishes for each table, and a potentially we got half than other table with same number of guests. After all, it was not a pleasant experience and I would not come again. They have some fruits by the end to all tables I think. We spent 120+ euros and didn’t feel glad at all. For these reasons, I didn’t tip for...

Excellent!! Everything about this restaurant is excellent. I don’t know why it does not have a full 5 star rating. I am a very difficult reviewer and rarely give 5 stars. The menu is large and diverse, the food is excellent and the people are wonderful (speak English if you need). Service is fast.

We were the only people who were not Asian which was very cool and seemed like a good sign. And it was! I’ve not yet been to Asia but as a well traveled New Yorker living in Paris this is the most authentic Chinese food I’ve had in Paris or NYC in a long time. The food is high quality, fresh ingredients, strong flavors, and many truly spicy options. Of course, like most Asian restaurants in Paris they also have non Chinese Asian dishes such as Thai recipes. Can highly recommend the spicy cold noodles, papaya salad and liseron d’eau sautés (water spinach in garlic). The beef dish we had was also good. They made us a sweet and sour crevette even though the menu only had poulet or porc option. People on both sides of us ordered full fish dishes that looked amazing as did everything else we saw arriving at the other tables.

The first time I’ve been to an Asian restaurant in all of France and not felt like I was just eating the same flavors over and over again.

The meal begins with a lovely trio of complementary appetizers and ends with a pretty, interesting and tasty complementary dessert.

My partner and I are visiting Paris for a long weekend, after walking all day, we fancied something close by to our hotel, and this Chinese came up, so we went there, greeted by the man who runs/owns it, as we sat down he came over with a piece of paper with a QR code and said “menu” as he slammed it on the table, however the waitress, she was lovely, very polite. We ordered our food, and when it came asked for a knife and fork, (being from the uk we don’t tend to use chop sticks as our first choice of cutlery) the man huffed, pulled a face and returned with the knife and fork and just slammed them on the table as if we had done wrong. The food was beautiful, freshly cooked, smelled and tasted amazing. The overall experience was not pleasant, I couldn’t wait to leave the restaurant. If you come here and stay down near to this Chinese get it as a takeaway, don’t bother sitting down, you feel...
