"One of a best place in Paris for a authentic Chinese breakfast! Love their homemade Bao and soy milk. But the place is very busy and small to eat inside. Better option for a take away."

"Probably the best silken tofu (sundubu) in Paris! Super affordable, simple, and healthy ㅡ perfect for a light meal. It’s a small place and always busy, but totally worth coming back for!"

"I bought their brioche au vapeur au porc, gâteau de riz gluant salé, beignet frit, tranches de pâtes de soja marinées, and pudding de tofu salé. Except for the beignet being a bit too greasy for me and the texture of the tofu pudding not being what I expected, I highly recommend all the others! The fillings with tofu pieces are very tasty and feel really fresh, and the combination of the glutinous rice cake and marinated tofu has an excellent texture. The ladies who served were also very patient and warm, it felt very homey. I’ll definitely go back!"

"They have many choices of food. Suitable for breakfast. I love their soy milk, savory tofu pudding, and chakwe. They also have seasoned egg, bao, fried tofu (takeaway only) and other snacks. It is also located near Metro station and Asian markets, so it is convenient to use public transport to visit rather than looking for parking lot. However, it always packed and sometimes some people were too rude pointing finger at your table even when you're not done eating. In term of taste and price, it's worth to try."

"Easily my favorite place to get the best most delicious Veggie Bao and Tofu Seaweed Soup in Paris. I would eat here everyday if I could. It gets very crowded so I’d recommend going outside peak hours. Definitely a must-visit"

"Very tasty but a lot of people and it’s very hectic but still a good atmosphere! Really liked it. I had the Tofu pudding salé."

"This really is top-quality tofu. The savoury option with seaweed soup was excellent- it warms you up very quickly. The glutinous rice was tasty and goes well with the tofu soup. The baos are very fresh, also smell and look amazing. It’s a great place to try Chinese street food that you can’t easily find elsewhere. Seats are very limited. If you’d like to eat in, wait for a table before ordering. Most people choose takeaway."

"Id say its a comfort food that linger the taste. Its also so cheap for volume-wise. Both puding du tofu are good, but the salty one is tastier than the sweet one. The soy milk is not that sweet and kinda thin. The service was so fast paced as any other chinese place. There are a few seat available in the store but its always crowded. People can also speak chinese/hokkien here."
