Warm, family-run Chinese canteen near Gare de Lyon serving tasty, inexpensive bowls with exceptionally kind hospitality; best earlier in the day for selection.
Mei Xi delivers solid neighborhood dining through exceptional service warmth—the owner's personal touches and attentiveness stand out—paired with reliable, satisfying home-style cooking at genuinely generous prices. The modest setting and occasional late-day selection limits prevent a higher grade, but consistent execution and loyal repeat customers confirm this casual canteen punches above its weight for quick, honest meals before a train.
One caveat: Late visits can mean fewer choices as popular items sell out
