I just had to share this amazing find with google. The food at this place is absolutely fantastic, and the owner is just the kindest person you'll ever meet. Inside the restaurant you will see beautiful tributes to his late wife, and it's definitely worth making the drive to Paris to experience it. Trust me, you won't regret it! Highly recommend checking it out.

This place's ambience and decor are quite an experience. The primary red of the room is interrupted by golden dragons holding golden chandeliers. The sinuous woodwork is also beautiful and it is very soothing to be in the place. The food is average if you are vegetarian but my meat eating friend said their food was really good. I would recommend this place just for the vibes. The staff was very friendly too. The building is also known in the city to be the tallest three storey building in the world, but I dunno how true that is.

We were visiting Lexington, Kentucky, and took a ride out to Paris to see the tower. Paradise Café is right next-door. Amazing that it’s in the tallest three-story building in the world. My wife is from Massachusetts and loves the Crab Rangoons They serve there. They were strikingly similar here and she was quite happy! It was a cool day so we had the Pho. Plenty of slices of beef in it. And quite tasty. If you drive by and don’t stop for lunch, you’re doing yourself a disservice

The food was 5/5. The Singapore Street noodles were so good with some great shrimp. It is a beautiful place and the owners and wait staff are so nice and friendly. Definitely recommend and will be back.

Such a great find in downtown Paris! The food was amazing and they have a great selection. It is a nice spot to stop in at while checking out the shops in downtown. Definitely will be going back!

Me and my husband came here the other day. We both very much enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. It was very quiet and the owner was super sweet. I definitely recommend going.
