Chez Neung: Authentic Thai Flavors in the Heart of Paris's 5th Arrondissement
The cuisine at Chez Neung centers on the principle of cooking each dish to order, ensuring maximum freshness and authentic flavor in every plate. This commitment to minute-by-minute preparation means you'll experience Thai food as it's meant to be enjoyed, with ingredients at their peak and flavors perfectly balanced.
The menu offers a comprehensive tour of Thai culinary traditions, with particular strengths in curry preparations and wok dishes. The green chicken curry exemplifies the kitchen's skill with complex spice blends, delivering the characteristic herbal notes and creamy coconut richness that define this classic dish. The red curry provides a spicier alternative, showcasing the kitchen's ability to build heat while maintaining depth of flavor. For those who prefer their Thai food with a ginger-forward profile, the ginger wok with shrimp demonstrates expert technique in stir-frying, with perfectly cooked seafood and vegetables that retain their texture and individual character.
The pad thaï represents one of Thailand's most beloved exports, and Chez Neung's version delivers the essential balance of sweet, sour, and savory notes that makes this dish so universally appealing. The eggplant salad offers a lighter option that highlights the vegetable's ability to absorb and complement Thai seasonings, while the fried tofu provides a satisfying vegetarian choice with excellent texture and flavor absorption.
Appetizers like the chicken nems serve as perfect introductions to the meal, offering crispy exteriors and flavorful fillings that set the stage for what follows. The restaurant's vegetarian options ensure that plant-based diners can fully participate in the Thai culinary experience, with dishes that stand on their own merits rather than serving as mere substitutes.
Pricing reflects the restaurant's commitment to accessibility, with individual dishes starting at just 6 euros and a complete lunch formula available for 12 euros. This exceptional value extends to beverages as well, with Singha beer priced at only 3 euros. The takeaway option allows you to enjoy these authentic Thai flavors in your own setting, making Chez Neung's cuisine accessible whether you dine in or take out.
