Mondol Kiri sur Paris

01/05/2026: Affordable and delicious! Noodle lovers, come and try it! We finished everything but forgot to take pictures. We ordered a serving of six xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), a serving of braised pork belly with rice, and a beef stew noodle soup. We weren't expecting much, as the menu outside made it seem like any random French-style "Chinese restaurant." But we were surprised when the xiaolongbao arrived: they tasted freshly made and steamed, with a very "homemade" flavor; the braised pork belly had a very homey taste, and the pickled cucumbers were especially refreshing 🤤; the beef noodles looked freshly pulled, kind of like knife-cut noodles? Very delicious, the broth was slightly like pho, but with the owner's homemade chili oil, it was incredibly fragrant… (the chili oil, hot broth, and a little cilantro…) I asked, and the owner is from northern China, having lived in Sichuan and Chongqing. The shop mainly sells noodles, so it felt like a northern style, but the chili oil was just what I, a Sichuanese, like: those who can't handle spice shouldn't add too much! A little in the broth really enhances the flavor! Many shops have Chinese people advertising on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), but this shop doesn't seem to have done so. Judging from the comments, it seems the shop may have changed hands several times. I hope my long review gets seen; noodle lovers can check it out and leave a comment. The owner seems very honest, so I support them!

30/04/2026: We went here based on the high review scores and it was close to our hotel. While I understand that it's under new ownership since most of the reviews were written, we still had a wonderful experience here. Everything was cooked fresh to order as we placed our orders. It was fresh, flavorful and less expensive than some of the other dinners in Paris.
