    Delicious food. Flavors we don't get at other restaurants. Food was fresh and perfectly cooked, although fewer bones in the fish would have made it even better. The downside of this dining experience were school aged children at two tables who watched noisy cartoons on iphones or played games during a dinner out. Not very polite behavior "in society". This wasn't a picnic outside.

    Visited Paris with my husband in April 2024. He wanted to invite his friend and French wife for Chinese food. I picked this restaurant, and everyone enjoyed it. I am Chinese and was surprised by the authenticity of the food here. Highly recommend this place if you would like to have authentic Chinese food. Everything was delicious. Make sure to make reservations in advance. You might not be able to get a seat otherwise.

    Excellent authentic Chinese and Thai food in a charming atmosphere. Service was friendly and welcoming. We were happy with the truly spicy options as we find fiery peppers to be difficult to find in Paris. For our friend who doesn't like spicy food, there were plenty of options as well. The large menu has something for everyone, including plenty of vegetarian options. Dishes came out as they were prepared so were a bit staggered in time, but piping hot and tasty. We'll definitely be back.

    Tasty, vegan friendly, but service was not good. The food was good, with nice (vegan) tofu options and a wide range of vegetable dishes. However the service was terrible; the waiter was cold and reluctant to give me a paper napkin/water.

    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. Go eat at Jia Yan!

    What a delightful restaurant off the beaten path! Intimate and cheerful and entirely generous in menu offerings! So many regions in Asia are represented in this thoughtful menu! The fried dump were divine. The vegetables were fresh and perfectly crisp in every preparation. Noodle dishes were plentiful and savory while chicken simmered with soul in delicate sauces. We also carried out for fatigued family who napped at our hotel. The meal culminated with fresh fruit and a discreet chocolate. The staff was friendly, kind and gracious when translating our clumsy French. Tips are sincerely appreciated. We enjoyed this much more than our 2 Michelin starred meal a few nights ago. 谢谢你!Jia Yan!

    Authentic Sichuan cuisine: beware... if you think you can eat hot food this place is the place... There also are dishes without chili for those who cannot take it hot... Delicious and generous portions.

    A small restaurant but is full of authentic Chinese atmosphere and real Sichuan food! The owner is friendly and the service is good, you can randomly exchange some words with the busy owner and he responds quickly as we are having dinner in China. Very nice experience!

    Last night in Paris and were so fortunate to find this restaurant. It was busy on a Sunday evening with local people which we think is always a good sign! Great selection of dishes lots of vegetarian options, seafood and meat. If you are expecting lots of starters (prawn crackers, crispy seaweed, etc) probably not the place for you. If you want really tasty food this is the place for you!

    This is great southern Chinese cuisine. Fantastic seasonings and dishes, owned and run by a warm husband/wife team. The decoration is relaxing. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Authentic Sichuan food without needing to go all the way to Chinatown. Careful, it is Sichuan food: plenty of chili... It is really hot. There are some non hot options for those who cannot take it... but, sincerely, why would you go to Sichuan restaurant to eat non spicy food ??? The restaurant is run by a Family and service is very friendly. Prices are reasonable. All this makes for a perfect score in its category!

    Great value for your money. Hands down the best Chinese we've had in town. Every dish was delicious! They have a nice tray of fruits (complimentary) at the end of the meal. I believe we were the only non-Asians in the restaurant and that's a great sign!

    i have been there many times but this time found it disappointing, my friend who was on a diet ordered a meal and the waiter/manager told her in an annoying tone it was not nice what she was doing, booking a meal on 20% discount and ordering one dish!!! although he had told us there was no restriction on the number , found it very rude, his attitude was disgusting .so she was in a way forced to order a starter , though her main dish arrived before the starter my main dish arrived in a coaster size plate , felt very very disgusted with the service and the attitude i had not experienced before , he should either state 2 meals if taking a discount or not give attitude. as well i had ordered a menu ,and wanted to enjoy which he ruined

    Food was quite good. I'm not sure how to classify the cuisine (as in which part of China), but it was good. The service however was not very good. The welcome was not friendly, and the staff (i think it was the owner) took a long time to take the order.
