13th — Butte aux Cailles & Chinatown › Chinatown › Tricotin

TricotinB

15 Av. de Choisy, 75013 Paris, France · Chinese restaurant, Asian restaurant, Cambodian restaurant · Chinatown

A long-running Paris 13 institution for cheap, fast Southeast Asian comfort food, with big portions and a loyal following, but expect a noisy canteen vibe and uneven quality.

The verdict

Tricotin delivers solid food quality with standout dishes like duck, pho, and dim sum that earn consistent praise, supported by fast, attentive service. However, inconsistent execution across recent visits and a plain, utilitarian setting prevent a higher grade. Strong neighborhood character and loyal following reflect genuine value, but quality dips and modest ambiance keep this firmly in grade B territory.

One caveat: Some diners report a rushed, curt, or indifferent service style, especially when busy.
