thanks for the detailed list John! very good stuff.

I went there before, I thought the dumplings were a little bit too greasy. But it was really good value.

So Ptipois, would you mind suggesting things to orders from specific places in the 13th?

they look to me like meat and fish dishes that you would also order in the evening, with rice.

When I go for dim sum, I often see Chinese families ordering warm dishes to go with dim sum. I never felt brave enough to really have look to see what exactly they were ordering. Are there typical things that people order to go along with dim sum, do you know?

Haha, yes.

Thanks everyone for your tips! i'm going to follow them all up! Parigi, I went to the Thai place today and had the quail and sticky rice. lovely! :)

I recently moved to Bellevile, Paris and want to take the opportunity to learn more about Asian and especially Chinese food. I have read the Asian food in Paris threads... but I am still at a loss as to what to order where.

I have tried pho, bo bun, thai green and red curries and chinese dumplings and dim sum. I really want to branch out.. But the quality in Belleville seems so hit and miss that I would like to ask for specific reccomendations about what to order at which restaurant.

Thankyou!!

The one tip that I can provide is Le Pacifique on Rue de Belleville for good dim sum (without carts though)
