L'Estate sur Pietrosella

I’d travel for Paris back just for this. Authentic Szechuan cuisine! Service is amazing (very friendly!). Quick cooking. It was so good we had to visit again before leaving.

The Chinese food I ate at most in Paris in the past two years: Sweet and Sour Pork, Amazing Shredded Potatoes, Lamb Skewers, Hot and Sour Bone Soup... all were quite good.

The food was served too slowly, the taste was mediocre, and it was too sweet; even the dry pot chicken turned into sweet and sour chicken 😂

I really enjoyed the sweet and sour pork, nice and crispy with a good vinegar flavor, as well as the lamb and pork kebabs. The chicken was also very good, slightly sweet, tangy, and spicy. The atmosphere is friendly, and there's even a karaoke bar in the basement. I recommend it!

The meal was very good, with little waiting time between ordering and being served. The portions were generous; if you're hungry, there's plenty to eat. However, the wait between arrival and ordering was a bit longer. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Delicious and authentic Northeastern Chinese cuisine. I come here often 😊 I recommend the cold noodles and sweet and sour pork.

Fantastic find near Gare de l'Est! The dishes are authentic, incredibly generous, and absolutely delicious (I especially loved the crispy pork and the tianpu/fresh noodles). The service was quick and friendly, perfect before catching a train. I highly recommend it! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not only is the Northeastern cuisine authentic, but the grilled skewers are also exceptional. The cooking time and seasoning are just right, and you can tell the ingredients are very fresh. 👍

I ordered the sweet and sour pork! It was incredibly crispy! I've officially declared it their signature must-order dish. It's made in a very authentic, old-fashioned way, with an extra crispy outer layer coated in a perfectly balanced sweet and sour sauce. It's so crunchy when you bite into it while it's hot! Plus, they give you a generous amount of meat, making it so satisfying to eat big chunks of meat!

I recently had a sudden craving for authentic Northeastern Chinese cuisine, so I tried this place. I ordered Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork), since it's basically the "signature dish" of Northeastern cuisine. When it arrived, my first impression was: the portion was quite generous, the pork slices were beautifully fried, with a golden and crispy outer layer, not the kind coated in a thick layer of batter. Taking a bite while it was still hot, the first bite was crispy, but the meat inside was still tender, and the sweet and sour flavor was quite pronounced, but not cloyingly sweet. The most important thing I care about with Guo Bao Rou is that it must be crispy. Some restaurants serve it delicious, but after five minutes it becomes completely soggy, ending up as "sweet and sour fried pork slices." This place was quite good; the outer layer still crackled when I ate it, and the sauce hadn't completely softened the crispy shell. The sweet and sour flavor leaned towards the sweet and sour, which I think is more in line with the feel of Northeastern Guo Bao Rou, not that overly thick, industrialized sweet and sour sauce. The pork slices themselves were also cut to a good thickness, so it didn't feel like you were eating nothing but starch. Served with shredded scallions and carrots, the sweetness is actually slightly reduced. But if you're like me and came specifically for the "Northeastern-style sweet and sour pork," I think this dish is worth ordering. Northeastern cuisine isn't the kind that's overly refined or eaten in a couple of bites; it's all about the hearty presentation and the satisfying taste. And honestly, sweet and sour pork is best eaten while it's hot. I'll definitely come again!
