Restaurant JIA YAN: Reviews & Ratings

Excellent!! Everything about this restaurant is excellent. I don’t know why it does not have a full 5 star rating. I am a very difficult reviewer and rarely give 5 stars. The menu is large and diverse, the food is excellent and the people are wonderful (speak English if you need). Service is fast. We were the only people who were not Asian which was very cool and seemed like a good sign. And it was! I’ve not yet been to Asia but as a well traveled New Yorker living in Paris this is the most authentic Chinese food I’ve had in Paris or NYC in a long time. The food is high quality, fresh ingredients, strong flavors, and many truly spicy options. Of course, like most Asian restaurants in Paris they also have non Chinese Asian dishes such as Thai recipes. Can highly recommend the spicy cold noodles, papaya salad and liseron d’eau sautés (water spinach in garlic). The beef dish we had was also good. They made us a sweet and sour crevette even though the menu only had poulet or porc option. People on both sides of us ordered full fish dishes that looked amazing as did everything else we saw arriving at the other tables. The first time I’ve been to an Asian restaurant in all of France and not felt like I was just eating the same flavors over and over again. The meal begins with a lovely trio of complementary appetizers and ends with a pretty, interesting and tasty complementary dessert. Go eat at Jia Yan!

Best Chinese food I've had in Paris! Ordered way too much food because I wanted to try everything and portions were very generous so I had plenty of takeaway. The staff were pleasant and the restaurant was cozy with nice decor. I'll need to return to try more dishes on the menu because the menu had lots of choices. Prices were also very reasonable. Highly recommended!

Nestled in the vibrant 15th arrondissement of Paris, Restaurant JIA YAN offers an authentic Chinese dining experience that stands out in a city abundant with Asian cuisine. From the moment you step inside this cozy yet elegantly decorated space on 5 Rue Humblot, you’re greeted by warm, attentive staff who make every guest feel welcome, whether you're a local or an international visitor.

JIA YAN’s extensive menu is a treasure trove of flavors, deftly blending traditional Sichuan specialties with regional Chinese dishes and even nods to other Asian cuisines, like Thai. The diversity ensures there’s something for every palate, but what truly shines is the authenticity and boldness of the flavors. Dishes like the spicy cold noodles and liseron d’eau sautés (water spinach with garlic) deliver fresh, vibrant tastes that awaken the senses. The spicy beef hot pot and Gong Pao chicken showcase perfectly balanced heat and tender textures that linger long after the meal.

One hallmark of the restaurant is its commitment to freshness and quality. Every bite resonates with high-quality ingredients and skillful preparation, making each dish a memorable experience. The chef’s willingness to customize, as seen in the sweet and sour crevette that was specially prepared despite it not being on the regular menu, speaks volumes about their dedication to customer satisfaction.

Another standout feature is the seamless service — quick yet unhurried — which complements the dining experience. Guests receive a delightful trio of complimentary appetizers to whet the appetite, and the meal concludes with a delicate, intriguing dessert that leaves a lasting impression.
