Royal Pantin

I stayed at the Ibis Pantin next door and walked in during the evening during the week. The service was very good and I had the Thai sweet and sour chicken, which was excellent. I also saw a buffet which looked really good. If you don’t speak French, bring a phrasebook or phone translator, as I struggled to order. Also, unlike Americans, Europeans are not in a hurry when they dine. You may need to ask for the check.

We ate here while staying at the Ibis Pantin next door. We had returned late from downtown Paris and showed up to the restaurant 5 minutes before closing. The staff was very kind and apologized that some of the dishes were not available because they had run out, but we were able to find what we wanted on the menu and all of our dishes were very good. They also have a buffet, but it was cleaned up by the time we arrived. Overall a great dining experience and very happy with the service since they could have easily turned us away.

The present woman was unpleasant, we arrived in the 1st around noon, the buffet was already empty (no nems for example). When the wave of customers arrived, the 3/4 of the buffet was empty and no one was reserving for a long wait, the staff preferred to serve those who had ordered the card. The buffet is not labelled (we don't know what we eat) and there are very few choices. However, the whole is good at taste.

We went there with my two children and took the buffet at will for 10€ what is very attractive. Inputs: salads use low-end products (surimi chicken and ham degueus), nems are fat and not good, maki are totally bad, vapours and shrimp bites are correct. The dishes: dubious fish with an orange sauce, the onion potatoes is pretty good, the potato cakes also (but not very asiat' all), the Cantonese rice is fat, the noodles jumped are bad. desserts: coconut balls are good but not at all home, ice creams are to be avoided given the layer of frost and their doubtful color. Finally, my son was sick for a week after this meal, with blood in the stools (the meat probably saw that I didn't eat it and I'm fine, and he only ate it with rice).Not expensive but we know why. sincerely, don't go unless you really have only 10€ in your pocket and very hungry.

Next to the Ibis, not much for dinner, I went to the royal pantin to take a ride. the service is pleasant and we are copied. However, the taste is not at the rendezvous and the nems seem to be warmed out. Cantonese rice is too sticky and pineapple requested for dessert served me in a plastic bag (one ring of pineapples with syrup)!. This can delight big eaters but certainly not the fine palate.
