Shifu

We had lunch at this small dumpling restaurant, and it was such a great experience. There was no wait and we were seated right away. Everything was fresh and made on the spot. We ordered the wonton soup, and the soup dumplings were an absolute dream — delicate, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

Shifu does one thing very very well: dumplings. They come in many forms: boiled, baked, seared, in soups. You can see the auntie in the front making the dumplings by hand all day long. The place is small. No music. Just the sound of people talking while enjoying their meal. This is not the place where you linger, more of the kind of place where you devour because everything is so delicious. Special mention: the brothy soup (in the side dish section) and the lamb and cumin dumpling. They called the latter Tex-mex but the Chinese aficionados will recognize the flavor of XinJiang where China borders with India and the “-stan” countries.

Food was not up to standard. The wrapper of prawn wonton was way too soft and mushy. I could hardly taste any prawn in it. We ordered the pan fried bao but it’s not pan fried but deep fried. Very disappointing.

Delicious!! Came for a quick bite, if you sit at the front table it’s perfect for people watching. I think everything on the menu would be good, definitely a must try and I’ll be there again very soon.

This place is super tiny and there’s a lovely lady that makes to order you delicious dumplings. We thought everything was delicious and felt out of the norm in a good way in Paris. If we had time and empty stomachs we would have gone back for seconds.

Formidable! These were the best potsticker dumplings I have ever eaten! The filling is the perfect texture and flavour.. easily better than the other ones I have tried in Paris. SHIFU est meyeur!!

A small, family-run dim sum spot that’s absolutely delicious! The food is fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with love. Cozy atmosphere and warm, personal service. A perfect place for anyone craving authentic Asian comfort food with a homemade touch. Highly recommended!

Great food and kind staff. Try the TsingTao beer as well it is very good. Dumplings & soup dumplings were amazing as well. We saw them being made, super authentic!
