Petit Bao - Étienne Marcel

Love Petit Bao for its authentic flavour and taste of Asian cuisine. Such a refreshing opt to the usual asian restaurant. Prices are reasonable and food is modern without being too modern that its unrecognizable. Service is fast and attentive. Takeaway got easier with the pad outside the venue. Recommended to order Sweet and Sour Chicken and Shanghai Noodle. Chilly Oil Wonton also did not disappoint. 8/10

Petit Bao in Paris is a 5-star experience for me. It’s the kind of meal that feels fun and indulgent, but still really well-executed, with bold sauces, proper wok flavor, and textures that keep things exciting. The soft spicy eggplants were the standout: meltingly tender and coated in a glossy, spicy-savory sauce that’s genuinely addictive. The fried shrimp wontons came perfectly crisp and golden, with juicy shrimp inside and a dipping sauce that makes them disappear fast. We also got the OG Chao Fan as a side, simple wok stir-fried rice with egg, shiitake mushrooms, scallions, soy sauce, and XO sauce, flavorful and super satisfying alongside the saucier dishes. For mains, the beef ho fun was exactly what you want when you’re craving comfort: wok stir-fried rice noodles with beef, onions, egg, and soybean sprouts, all tied together with that savory, slightly smoky wok-kissed taste. The sweet and sour chicken hit the right balance too: crisp, tangy, and bright without being overly sugary. The only small note was the chicken bao, which felt a bit dry and slightly doughy compared to the rest. But honestly, it didn’t take away from the overall meal, because everything else was strong. If you want a place in Paris that delivers big flavor and a reliably satisfying spread, Petit Bao is absolutely worth it. 5 stars.

This place is amazing!!!! Honestly the best meal I have had in Paris!! I am from US and have never had anything comparable to this. Restaurant inside is fun and alive! Servers are attentive despite ordering your food on QR code. Staff was super friendly. I can not recommend this place more. Great portions and prices!! I’m so sad that I may never have this meal again.

Petit Bao, Paris The food here was absolutely outstanding! The flavors, especially the sauces, were truly exceptional and unique a real treat for the taste buds. The service was friendly, though you order via your phone, which some might find a bit impersonal. But honestly, the focus here is on the food, and it does not disappoint. A real “must-see” for anyone visiting Paris! (Also very vegetarian friendly)

Wow, the sweet and sour chicken was so delicious 12/10, the chicken bao was alright not bad but not really good. You probably think the red drink will hit with flavour but it was kinda light but good.

Good Chinese with a modern touch ! We had the Hong Shao Aubergines, cha siu bao, Xiao long bao. Thanks for the meal

got us in without a reservation, really good food! not as flavorful / spicy as the other location but still really good (and no soup dumplings). but much bigger and easier to hear and seat more than 2 people! great service and attentive waiters!

Maybe the best place we we ate in Paris. The Baos are phenomenal. The sautéed eggplants are godly. So good.

Is this the best Shanghai food? No but it's pretty good for paris considering. It's pretty casual seating and the prices are reasonable. All of the buns I found subpar but I love both the eggplant dishes, fried mushrooms and sesame noodles! Good for a fun dinner with friends

Bao-chicka-wow-wow! Currently reminiscing about Petit Bao from @bao.family in Paris, France. After spending a couple hours traveling through time at the Louvre, from Ancient Greece to Italy, we came across this small joint while walking through the streets of Paris. A cool café nestled comfortably near the Louvre, Petit Bao serves Shanghai-style bao dumplings, stir fries and small bites alongside Chinese teas and Hong Kong ales. The food was incredible, from pillowy to crispy, sweet to spicy, and everything in between, every bite had our taste buds feeling spoiled. This landed amongst our top 5 favorite meals of our entire 2-week Europe trip, owed to not only the flavors but thoughtful service and highly-energetic atmosphere. [x]: favorite dishes Beating the rush by just a few minutes, our server ushered us to the last two-top by the window, where we comfortably made a home with our lunch: GOLD MUSHROOMS - oyster mushrooms from La Cabernet de La Chapelle urban farm, very crispy breadcrumbs, cumin powder. [x] XIAOLONGBAO VEGGIE STYLE - steamed bites, veggie style [x] BAOZI VEGGIE - brioche, seasonal vegetables AUBERGINES HONG SHAO - melty Chinese eggplant, secret sauce, slightly spicy The bao were our favorite dishes.

I've been here a couple times now. Very friendly staff but its location means there's tremendous pressure to turn tables during peak hours. Not a place for a leisurely dine.

We came after lunch one day and got seated immediately. The soup dumplings were pretty good. Lots of soup in them but lacked a bit of flavor. We tried the crab and seafood and truffle soup dumplings. I loved the truffle soup dumplings. We also tried chicken and noodles, both were just okay, nothing to rave about. Overall, service was quick and food was alright.

Great dumplings, super friendly service, paying by QRC code and Apple pay. You don't need much more for some lunch?

More like 3.75 stars - A bit pricey but good service and temporarily fixed my Asian food craving. I always envisioned my first meal in Paris to be a buttery-confit-pate-esque meal but my body needed some comfort food after the hectic week of travel prior to Paris. I walked past Petit Bao and the name + ambience pulled me in ("Bao" is my magic word). I got the classic Shanghai bun, wontons in chilli oil and fried rice. The first two were great - I love chilli oil with a vengeance and this one was great. The fried rice was.. too soy-sauced our for me. Return? Hmm, hard one. I reckon there are better places out there but never say never. If yes, I would skip the rice and just get the appetizers.

Very poor food quality! Such a big disappointment Once we share the feedback with the manager, we were surprised by how indifferent he was as if it was no big deal to them! I would not recommend this place!

Been craving xio long bao and was pleasantly surprised to find this hole In the wall with an unassuming and easy to miss storefront. Ordered the traditional and was not disappointed. Can't wait to come back and try more!

We ate here for an afternoon snack after flying into Paris from our flight. The restaurant is really busy so it was a short wait during lunch time. We just ordered xiaolongbaos and spinach. Spinach looks so simple but it was surprisingly good. We shared the vegan and pork and shrimp baos and the vegan one was actually my favorite out of all of them. Beware.. when they say spicy.. it is SPICY! We were thinking chili oil or some type of seasoning was used to make it spicy, but NO! It is chopped up red chili peppers into tiny pieces and added into the xiaolongbaos! OMG it was spicy but dipping in the vinaigrette soy sauce actually gave it a good balance. Waitress was very nice and spoke English. The decor of the restaurant was really cute! I can't give it full five star since we didn't try much off the menu.

Great Xiaolongbao at this hidden gem. We stumbled across it and had to try as we had been craving for a while. Not dissapointed! The dough is perfect consistency and the soup filling is full of flavor.
