Petit Bao - Ternes

I really wanted to love this place. The interior is great and it’s clear they’re aiming to do something thoughtful with the menu, but overall I left feeling disappointed. The highlights were the wontons, which were genuinely good, and the classic fried wheat noodles — both dishes I’d happily return for. Unfortunately, some of the other dishes really fell short. The fried chicken was extremely oily, and I ended up biting into a lot of cartilage, to the point where I had to spit out several pieces. I appreciate that this can happen with more authentic, street-style fried chicken, but at this price point I expected a better cut and cleaner eating experience. Perhaps I was just unlucky, but it did detract from the meal. The steamed bao were the biggest disappointment: flat, barely filled, and not hot enough. Given how simple bao can be when done well, this was quite gutting. The cucumber salad was fine, but fairly unremarkable. Overall, I’d say this is worth a visit if you’re less familiar with this style of food, or if you’re specifically craving good wontons and fried noodles. However, if you’ve had genuinely good bao and similar dishes elsewhere, it may not quite meet expectations.

One of the best foods I’ve ever eaten and certainly one of the coolest restaurants I’ve ever been to. Liv did take care of us and did an amazing job. We had the sour and sweet chicken, chicken Bao and the noodles with beef as well as the cucumber starter. All were incredibly delicious. And the mango cream desert was just out of this world. We’ll come here every single time we visit Paris.

Crowded but nice. Good food. I recommend coming alone at the counter if you are in a hurry. But there is also takeaway.

Fantastic Chinese bao restaurant on rue du faubourg saint - honoré! Opened a week ago serving spicy, hearty, delicious, Asian flavours with no compromise on taste, spice, texture, and a whole lot of friendliness and good vibes. Don’t miss the fraîcheur verte (fresh cucumber salad), crevette wonton in chilli oil (spicy but oh so good), signature charsui pork bao and the standout dishes of aubergines hong shao (incredible burst of flavours in your mouth and so fondant!), Shanghai noodles and poulet sweet and sour. Finish it off with a lemon kombucha and a tart mango sago - and you’ve had yourself a perfectly light, healthy, wholesome meal - made and served with love!❤️

Loved our meal at Petit Bao – Ternes! The noodles were perfectly chewy and packed with flavor, and the sweet and sour chicken was crispy, tender, and beautifully balanced. Great vibes, friendly service, and dishes that really stand out — can’t wait to go back!

Great discovery ! The bánh bao (bao bun) of braised pork and the sour sauce with chicken is excellent ! Almost the same flavor as in Hong Kong ! The decoration is absolutely adorable, it mimics the stands in Hong Kong !! However, I did not enjoy the chocolate bao bun. I highly recommend this restaurant as an authentic chinese person 😊

Was hoping for a different experience than we got with Petit Bao. The “quick serve” diner experience just falls a bit flat. We sat down and waited nearly 30 minutes before flagging down a staff member to ask if we could order. They were kind and apologetic and said we needed to order via the QR code. I really hate this experience as it means someone at the table is completely cut off from the conversation with the rest of the group while ordering. We were at a 4 top table and there were 2 menus under the glass top of the table, but no other menu available unless on the phone. Just makes for such an antisocial dining experience to be pulling out phones. The food is definitely a modern take on Chinese. String flavors. Varied execution. We liked the aubergines and the broccolini. Wouldn’t rush back.

we have been trying petit bao for several times! As always the food is good and service is excellent. Special shout out for Lucas that helps us a lot for the menu and he helped us when we forgot our car parking billet!
