21G Dumpling

Came here because I heard the xiao long bao was good. I can't say I agree. Overall, they were limp, not hot, and very salty. The wrappers were pretty thin, and it was hard to taste many flavors behind the salt. I was excited to see tea eggs on the menu, but they were not what I expected. They lacked many of the flavors I've come to expect, and had mustard on top masking the flavor of the yolk. The people here were friendly and service was quick though.

The worst dumpling I had in my life. As an asian, I never taste such bizzare dumplings. Even my french friends agreed with me. I passed by and ordered take away. You couldn’t even sit down waiting for your order as they have small window where it is dedicated for take away and delivery. Imagine during summer you have to wait your order under the sun. Anway, I never found decent dumpling in Paris. Mostly they are bad yet expensive.

The soup dumplings were delicious and authentic - not easy to find in Europe. The fried chicken, while more of a fusion take, was also delicious and super tender - overall good value too! The only dish that was a let down was the noodles - the sauce was super bland and the noodles’ textures were poor

We had xiao long bao and the rice with braised pork for lunch, they were both mediocre. The braised pork was tough and chewy, though the sauce was okay . We sat next to the see through kitchen watching how the chef was preparing the food. We noted that the chef was using his bare hand with no glove to handle our rice. It was not hygienic given that he had been using his hands doing all the things in the kitchen. Besides, when we used the toilet at the basement level, we noted that there was a food preparation room with its door open next to the toilet and a lady was seen making dumplings. From a hygiene point of view, it was not right to leave that door open. Pricewise, it was on the high end side and not good value for money.

The food was unimpressive and thoughtlessly put together. The gua bao was just one block of meat in the bun. I thought it would be easier to share. It was one large bun as opposed to three small like I had seen they previously served. The ravioli dumplings were good. The bok choy was just the vegetable sauted in some soy sauce and fried onion. A lot of it just felt like I could've made it at home. Presentation was underwhelming. I would give it 5 stars if it was half the price but nothing about this deserves to cost 35 euro in total. Would not recommend.

We came to this place after reading the reviews and I have to agree with many of them. They have a small menu but everything was delicious! We ordered multiple items and all of them were tasty. The duck BAO had lots of meat and full of flavors while I pork SIU Mai was also amazing. The staff were very friendly and helped us with ordering. Will definitely come back again!

Tasty dishes, a little bit small in portions. Tastes are very well harmonized and innovative. My only complaint is that one of our main dishes arrived about 10 minutes later than the other one.

Go here for truly excellent pork XLB - which are great by West Coast U.S. standards - as well as pretty good wontons in (too mild, but this is France) chili oil. The rest of what I sampled was mediocre, honestly, but worth the detour for those fantastic XLB

If you want to pay over $100 for 8 dumplings and 2 drinks. This is the place to get ripped off at. The dumplings are plain and the waitress makes a big show about telling you how you how to dip the dumplings in soy sauce. What a rip off

The xiao long bao (XLB or soup dumplings) are adequate, but not great. Fried rice is good! Wontons in chili sauce are nice. I lived in Taiwan for two years. This place is NOT Din Tai Fung.
