If you are looking for a tasty dumpling joint, then look no further than this Marais favourite.

Jixiao's is not the place where you sit down and idle away the hours, instead in a true Asian fashion this den of delight works a little like street food. Order your dumpling delights at the little counter, then choose a table outside or the take away.

If you have tasted these authentic Chinese dumplings, you will quickly see why even Marais's chicest 'it' crowd can be found queuing patiently outside. There are a variety of dishes available, but the sheng jian buns are a house speciality, so we recommend you order some and give them a go. All dumplings here are made with wheat flour then stuffed with meat or vegetables, before being pan-fried.

Alongisde dumplings do try the pork and corn bao with black rice vinegar - delicious! Or traditional noodles from Chongqing, a city in the Sichuan province: flavoured with coriander, peanuts, spring onions, fried peas, chilli and Sichuan pepper. 

This is the sort of joint that you can order to your heart's content without breaking the bank, but will delight the taste buds. Bon appetit!
