HOA NAM: a family and culinary story since 1981

It all began in 1981 with the opening of the first workshop, driven by a family’s passion for Asian cuisine. In 1992, HOA NAM moved to the 13th arrondissement, on avenue d’Ivry, in a shop that has since become iconic. Ever since, food lovers have been able to enjoy Chinese, Vietnamese, Cambodian and Thai dishes there, either to go or to eat in for a quick bite.

HOA NAM’s Peking duck: a Lunar New Year star

HOA NAM’s Peking duck has become a Paris institution. Thanks to its unique sourcing, the restaurant selects larger, leaner ducks, cooked to retain all the meat’s juiciness. Fans of Chinese cuisine can also enjoy crispy barbecued pork, grilled skewers, steamed bao buns, spring rolls, as well as dim sum and Banh Cuon.

For those who prefer cooked dishes, pork ribs with Kindo sauce or stir-fried noodles are a hit with food lovers. During Chinese New Year, these festive recipes are a must for celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse in Paris.
