Chinatown Olympiades in Paris, eat Chinese differently

My first impressions

Chinatown Olympiades is one of the best, if not the best THE best Chinese restaurant of Paris. With its vast main room of 250 seats and its spirit representative of real Hong Kong restaurants: the typical decoration, the numerous round tables, the carts loaded with steam baskets and the long fresco snaking on the walls immediately immerse us in the Chinese culture. The waiters are efficient and straight to the point, with no bending over backwards, but they take good care of their customers.

The strength of Chinatown Olympiads is its army of real chefs experienced in the realization of authentic and traditional dishes for the most part, inspired essentially by the southern region of China and scented with tasty aromatic plants.
I sincerely recommend this Chinese restaurant because, unlike many impostors offering you pseudo-traditional Chinese cuisine, the dishes of Chinatown Olympiades are really good, well executed and their recipes are respected. The cooks use mainly fresh products and seasonal fruits and vegetables. Come to taste a wider choice of dishes, because the menu is, for the blow, typical of Chinese restaurants in France: long !

The services offered

Chinatown Olympiades is a real little find. In addition to the restaurant's on-site or take-out service, here are its services caterer, evenings karaoke on weekdays, animations weekend, wedding celebrations and banquets. You can even benefit from a service of valet parking from 7pm to 2am, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Count 8€ per car.
For the catering service, you will have the possibility to elaborate your own menu. The culinary animations are also included in this service, to make your guests' eyes water and their mouths water.

It's up to you to choose from the menu according to your respective tastes and the spices you like:

the specialties of the house : not to be missed. Try the stuffed crab claws with your eyes closed. More like poultry ? Taste the Peking duck, to be savored in 2 courses.

The first to start with duck skin with rice pancakes. The second for the flesh, served with vegetables;

the Dim-Sums The menu consists of several small portions of food, from a pancake (made of rice flour and glutinous rice) with a generous amount of shrimp to the soft buns filled with roasted pork;

the meats : get your hands on the fried duck. Meat is accompanied by noodles, pasta, rice, fried rice noodles or "rice with two roasts", a delight ! ;

the seafood The concept is based on the following ingredients: steamed turbot or sautéed cuttlefish ? More classic but just as good, I recommend the cod fillet with its appetizing sweet and sour sauce;

the desserts The coconut pearls with sesame are irresistible : soft and sweet .

Tip: as a condiment, ask for the XO sauce, a delight (fried fish, dried seafood with onions, garlic and chili).
