This concept is the brainchild of Jacques (and his four partners), with the aim of putting roujiamo front and center — this street-food burger straight from China — on Paris’s culinary stage. "There are plenty of burgers and paninis... but Paris has no restaurant dedicated to roujiamo", explains Jacques, the founder of Moxi.
Roujiamo, the
Roujiamo, a Xi'an specialty in Shaanxi province, in central China. In a twice-baked flaky bread for extra crunch, Moxi's team fills these future burgers with meat or vegetables, adding pickles and a few fresh vegetables. Everything is homemade, from the bread to the pickles, to the meat preparation. For beef or pork, the meat is a braised cut with Chinese spices, sliced very thin to achieve a shredded texture. For the chicken version, Moxi opts for a quick-seared chicken served with a sweet-sour sauce, while the vegetables in the Mo vegetarian are sliced ultra-thin before being stir-fried in the wok.
Also on the menu are gaifan, a dish that uses the same ingredients as the Mo bowls but on a bed of rice and with an extra marinated hard-boiled egg. Think meat, vegetables, rice, pickles, eggs… a complete meal for a quick lunch or takeout, which is common in the neighborhood. Chinese-style udon recipes are also on the menu.
Pricing starts at 8.90 € (vegetarian option) and goes up to 9.90 € for the Meaty Mo, with 12.50 € to 13.50 € for a plate of gaifan or a bowl of udon. There are set menus available throughout the day (and even on weekends): expect €15 for a Mo with starter (chicken dumplings, fries, marinated egg, fried chicken) and a drink, or €18.50 for a gaifan or udon with starter and drink.
A generous spot to discover a little-known specialty. Service is swift, and Moxi also has a terrace, in addition to its strategic location near the gare Saint-Lazare and the Church of La Madeleine.
