La Taverne de Zhao is a very cozy Chinese restaurant with incredible cuisine from the Xian region. Don't miss their famous pork flavored "Biang Biang noodles" with fresh cabbage, topped with soy sauce, black vinegar and chili oil, seasoned with chives, spices and coriander. They also serve Biang Biang Noodles with beef or the vegetarian tomato version. While waiting for the noodles, you might want to try a few appetizers. We suggest their flavorful "Platycodon dish," a delightful blend of crunchy green vegetables.

We recommend arriving early since it's a walk-in establishment that doesn't accept reservations. Also, depending on where you are staying in Paris, just know that they actually opened six other restaurants since they started in 2011.

7. Kodawari Ramen (Tsukiji)
Address: 12 Rue Richelieu, 75001 Paris
Kodawari offers the finest fish ramen, and its popularity is evident in its fish market-themed decor. The food is exceptional, but be prepared for a lengthy wait, typically 30 to 45 minutes, to get a seat. The meal is so delightful that it makes the wait worthwhile. They have introduced a digital queue system; simply scan the QR code at the entrance to join the queue, allowing you to take a stroll and return when it's your turn.

10. OKOMUSU
Address: 11 Rue Charlot, 75003 Paris
Okumusu is a hidden gem in Paris. Very authentic restaurant with friendly staff. The menu is great and it covers the Japanese classics.
