Tien Hiang
About
Tien Hiang is a celebrated vegetarian Asian fusion restaurant located on Rue Bichat, just steps away from Paris’s picturesque Canal Saint‑Martin. Since 1995, the family‑run bistro has been delighting diners with bold, plant‑based interpretations of classic Vietnamese and Thai dishes that rely on soy protein as a key ingredient. The menu features inventive staples such as bean‑based "chicken" satay, crispy tofu spring rolls, and hand‑made pho, all served in a relaxed, contemporary setting. Open daily for lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers a two‑shift schedule: 12:00‑14:30 and 18:30‑22:30 on most days, with Saturday’s dinner extending to 23:00. Walk‑ins are welcome – reservations are not accepted – and take‑out is available for those on the go. As one of the city’s pioneering vegan Asian eateries, Tien Hiang balances authenticity with innovation, making it a must‑visit spot for vegans, vegetarians, and adventurous eaters alike. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch break, a leisurely dinner view of the Seine‑adjacent canal, or a family‑friendly setting that celebrates plant‑based cuisine, this charming eatery delivers both quality and comfort.
