Tricotin — Restaurant in Paris

Le Tricotin is leaving on its glorious past legacy, and is now currently slipping away quality-wise. The service staff is efficient and friendly (don't forget that the restaurant does not accept cheque and ticket restaurant as means of payment). However the food quality is not above the average. We had rice floor ravioli and pork ribs in black bean sauce as starters. These two dishes were tasty, especially the pork ribs. Perflectly seasoned and a slight touch of spice was a nice addition. The rice flour ravioli was fine too, however we would have liked to have it warm in the plate. We followed these with a saté noodle and a beef lôc lac. The saté noodle was really disappointing: the noodle was bland and didn't soak up the saté sauce (was too liquid). On the practical side, the noodle was served on a plate and not a bowl, and that didn't help eating! The beef lôc lac was so-so: no flavour for the rice and the meat cubes were a bit rubbery. To close up lunch, a 3-colors drink and a durian rice desserts were ordered and didn't change our impression. The 3-colors was slighty savory (weird...) and the durian was inexistant.

My take: The Tricotin is also known for the dim sum so stick with these treats! In this busy district with plethora of restaurant choices, the Tricotin is now proposing an average cuisine which somehow scared off the locals. There is room for improvements, and a first start would probably to halve the menu: Quality...

Sorry but I can't give a higher rating. It was just unacceptable! They severed my friend and me the wrong dish. We reported this but they insisted that they were correct at the very beginning. Later, we asked the order list, they finally admitted that they were wrong. When we finished our dishes, we collected all the things used on a plate, but the waiter who cleaned the table just poured them on the table and the water went everywhere. He seemed so angry and kept complain in his mouth. We paid our dishes and one of my friend went to toilet. So we waited for him at the table. Later, it was the same guy came clean the table. According to my Chinese friend, he spoke in Cantonese "If you finished your meal, just go away!" (I beautified his word, according to my Chinese friend, he said something even worse and dirty!) As for the food, as we had not a good service, I don't know what I had eaten. No taste to be honest. The mint and thym that they had given to us were withered already. It was the same guy who had done all these things. We can't get known what happened there or what happened to this waiter, but it was really a bad memory. I read other comments and it seems what happened this evening was not...

A Hidden Gem in Paris Chinatown

This restaurant is a delightful surprise, offering an authentic blend of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cambodian cuisines. Recommended by a Cambodian friend with connections to the staff, we were treated to an exceptional dining experience.

The menu showcases a diverse array of dishes, each executed with skill and authenticity. Every plate that arrived at our table was a hit, demonstrating the kitchen's consistent quality across various Asian culinary traditions.

Despite the bustling atmosphere and full house, the service was impressively swift and attentive. The ambiance perfectly captures the essence of a genuine Asian eatery, transporting diners to the vibrant streets of Southeast Asia.

As Khmer speakers, we may have received some extra attention, but the overall experience suggests that all patrons are in for a treat. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Asian flavors in the heart of Paris.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit to explore more of their...
