Came here because I was craving some Chinese food after having so much French food. It definitely satisfied the craving. They have an English menu and a very lovely server that spoke English. Here's what we had:
-Fried shrimps and egg roll with sweet dipping sauce - very good and very similar to what I'm used to in L.A.
-Noodles with shrimp - tasty and they had sambal oelek to drench it with. 
-Cantonese fried rice - probably my favorite. The rice was cooked to perfection and had a great flavor. 
-Imperial shrimps - a lot of shrimp with onions and a lot of garlic. The shrimp could've been cooked a little more but good nonetheless

We had jasmine tea that was delicious. I would really recommend anyone staying in the area to try this place is you are craving Chinese food. It really hits the spot.

Dim Sum in Paris. Shoot why not?

Reviews were great. My husband loves dim sum. So we figured let's go get some.

For us, it was A-OK. Probably tasted better to us because we were tired of pizza, sandwiches, etc. 

loved that they have an all you can eat option. they have a set menu for their all you can eat. once they bring out their set menu items you're allowed to inform them of which items you'll like to eat more of. 

why i loved that they have an all you can eat option? the price for it was pretty reasonable compared to everything else we've been eating in europe. it gave us the opportunity to try a little bit of everything. 

did it taste like dim sum in LA? unfortunately not. nothing was super memorable to me and once i tried each item i didn't really wanna reorder anything. the XLB had no juice inside of it. which i totally was disappointed about. esp when XLB is known to be good because it is juicy. 

service was pretty good. food came out really quick. you'll leave smelling like deep fried food since they make some of the food right in front of the window. overall, if you want to get more bang for your buck and wanna have some asian food then i would say try it out. if not it's definitely passable. 

tips:
*accepts credit cards and cash
*restrooms are available. 
*staff speaks english, french, and chinese. 
*street parking
*serves alcohol. 
*takes reservation.
*no wifi.
*ask for tap water to save $
*within walking distance to the metro.

The dim sum has a lot of carb, no real meat in it. I was looking for shrimp dumplings but there is no shrimp in it.

The main dish is similar to the take out.

The best item I found is the Vietnamese spring roll

Not the XLB I was expecting at this restaurant. It wasn't soup-y and was very dry. There was more dough (outer shell) than there was meat in my XLB. Not a fan.

Maybe I've been ruined by Taiwan's own Din Tai Fung, but no Xiao Long Bao dish has ever quite lived up to those visits. Having said that, La Maison du Dim Sum will certainly satisfy even an aggressive craving for dim sum of any sort, and their fast and friendly service will make sure your entire experience is enjoyable. 

Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere?

While La Maison du Dim Sum isn't exactly in the thick of the tourist friendly spots around Paris, it's tucked away in a nice part of town that's certainly worth walking at the very least. Once inside, a trilingual staff will make sure you're taken care of in an atmosphere that's quaint and comfortable. The highlight of my Saturday evening visit was the speed of service, which ended up producing some XLB no more than ten minutes after I'd ordered it. Star Granted. 

Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost?

My six piece order of Xiao Long Bao came in at €9,00, or €1,50 per piece. That's not exactly knock out value, but it's not unreasonable either given the wide variety of dim sum that's available here and essentially nowhere else in the city. Other menu items are priced accordingly, and it honestly wouldn't be difficult to be in and out while fully satisfied for €10 or so. Star Granted.  

Stars 3 and 4: How was the food?

I'll start off here with my definition of the perfect Xiao Long Bao, which is of course exactly what Din Tai Fung dishes up - tasty and soft casing that holds within its bosom a decent portion of soupy goodness and a small ball of pork that produces the aforementioned goodness. La Maison du Dim Sum was certainly in the same ballpark here, but there was room for improvement as well. The casing was a bit firm and sticky, and while there was a very generous portion of pork inside, there was no soup, which made the whole thing a bit dry. Flavor wise the components were there, but I'll admit I needed a bit of soy and hot sauce to bring the dish together. Not bad, but not what I would call elite. Single Star Granted. 

Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could?

La Maison du Dim Sum probably has the widest selection of dim sum in Paris, but I wouldn't say the quality is quite high enough to have me coming back every time I'm in town. No Star Granted.

I didn't have high hopes - how could you in any all-you-can-eat deal? You go in with the caveat that it couldn't be great. And yet, the dim sum was quite fresh, and the array of Chinese dishes was varied enough to satisfy all tastes. I do wish there was more variety to the dim sum itself, but I appreciated that the lady doling out the bamboo baskets was generous and non-judgmental no matter how many times I went back (that is, an unladylike amount).

There was only one server seating, getting drinks, and bussing all the tables, but he was highly efficient and friendly from beginning to end. He was quick to greet everyone coming in the door, and made sure we had enough water, fresh napkins, and a good meal. The price cannot be beat, and this was one of my better experiences with Asian food in Paris.

A great dim sum place in Paris -- probably one of the best. The quality of the food maybe not as unique or refined as the best dim sum restaurant we find in LA but their food is way above average even by SoCal standards. 

The dim sum are generously filled with ingredients that are evidently very fresh. There are about 7 different steamed dim sum as well as a pan fried bite. They also serve a selection of deep fried bites, the mini-nem is absolutely delicious. 

Family owned. The owner herself steams and pan fries in the window of the restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly during our visit. 

A great place to go to for you dim sum cravings in Paris!

surprisingly good dim sum in Paris - who would have thought haha. on our first night in paris, it was raining and we didnt want to venture too far out for dinner so La maison du Dim Sum was closest to our apartment. i noticed the staff speaking to each other in Chinese so i figured this place had to be somewhat decent for dim sum haha. luckily our server spoke very fluent english and she was able to explain the restaurant concept to us - which is basically all you can eat for dinner at around 17 euros. me and justin b. thought this sounded like a good deal so we thoguht why not haha.

so the meal is served to you in 'courses' - first course is a selection of your typical dim sum selection like har gow and shiu mai and other steamed dumplings. then its a plate of deep fried goodies like egg rolls. then we were able to choose an entree with rice which was like a chicken satay and fried rice. then after those 3 rounds you can ask for more of anything that you had already been served. we were so full at this point that we couldnt do a 2nd round of anything but overall the food was pretty good. comparable to dim sum places that i've been to back at home in LA. we decided to just move onto a dessert course and we chose fried bananas.
 
all in all - great friendly service, English friendly for tourists, and good asian dim sum that will satisfy any asian food craving that you may have haha

Alright people, to anyone saying that this dim sum is comparable to LA dim sum, you need a reality check or you need to go back to LA and have me take you around. Maybe it was the fact that I went and it was a lunch buffet. I guess I should have known from the fact that it was a buffet. But I definitely feel a little fooled by the pictures online... 

This wasn't real dim sum, guys. Sorry. But to all y'all thinking that this is a dim sum place, it actually just has 4 little "vapeurs" (steamed dim sum) and one of them I have never seen in my life after uncountable experiences having dim sum in Hong Kong, LA, SF, and China. It was definitely a self-created, not very tasty rice ball thing that was just strange. 

Anyways, aside from the small portion of dim sum they had available, there were also fried rice and side dishes like sautéed vegetables and such. They all had the same sauce.

Don't come here expecting real Asian food! Nobody there even spoke Chinese!

b2520e5d-69b9-4116-9c93-b066d17912c7

Niiiiiice. That restaurant succeeded in making me appreciate Chinese food (I don't know why, but I have never been a huge fan of Chinese dishes, except fried appetizers - so that place was a cool discovery).

Definitely go for the 16.80€ all-you-can-eat menu. The highlight is on dim sums, served fried, grilled and of course steamed. They bring you plates with one of each dim sum they serve, for you to taste (about 12 varieties in total, mainly with pork and with shrimp). Everything is sooooo good, and you can re-order as many as you wish. Only downside: my boyfriend is not a huge fan of shrimp, so we asked whether we could get more of the pork and chicken ones, and it was apparently not possible. Besides this lack of flexibility, we loved everything about these dim sums.

You can then choose main courses (marinated chicken brochettes, grilled shrimp, meat balls, served with rice or noodles) and desserts (fresh fruit salad, coconut specialty, banana doughnut). They are good, but not as exceptional as the dim sums though.

Final good point: the waiters are really terrific. They explain every single item from the menu, bring you water without you having to ask for it and are overall super nice.
