We have never had Chinese fondue before and were actually surprised that there was no other option. As our kids are a bit picky we also did not know how they would like it. At the end all worries were in vain as there was a large buffet with sushi, dim sums, chicken satay, noodles, vegetables etc., which alone satisfied the needs of our kids and the older kids and adults were actually enjoying each cooking in their own pot and mixing with a variety of sauces. My wife is vegetarian and was also pleased to try Chinese mushrooms and all kinds of vegetables, partly unusual in French kitchen. Additionally the service was very friendly, offering the kids fidget spinners and lollipops on the way out. Lastly everything was clean including the restrooms. Highly recommended for a different experience!

Not your average oriental restaurant. DineDong provides a friendly and casual atmosphere with a way of eating that perfectly matches this atmosphere. The staff really make this place. Such lovely and attentive people always doing their best to ensure everyone is happy.
A clearer indication of what each food item was is all that was needed otherwise really excellent.

Looking for an authentic Chinese restaurants in France can be quite challenging since what you'd probably find most of the time are Chinese restaurants of Vietnamese or Thai influences. Regardless of it's name (that sounds right out from an Asian cartoon or some sort), I was surprised to find delicious and dishes which are to me of "real" Chinese cuisine. We all know (well, most of you out there) that what is regarded as Chinese cuisine ranges from a long list of different chinese ethnic cuisines like Cantonese, Sze Chuan, Hunan-to name a few. Dine Dong's cuisine is principally of the Zhe Jiang province but not only.
