The Hood, Asian restaurant and café in 11th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Hood is an Asian restaurant and cafe in Paris that blends French ingredients with Southeast Asian recipes. The menu features dishes like chicken rice, pandan cake, and authentic banh mi sandwiches prepared fresh throughout the day.
The establishment was founded in 2016 by Pearlyn Lee and Khanh-Ly Huynh as a response to bringing Southeast Asian flavors to Paris. A successful crowdfunding campaign in 2019 helped expand the concept and grow its reach across the city.
The name and design reflect a vision of community and gathering, drawing people from the neighborhood and beyond to share food and space together.
The venue is located in the 11th arrondissement and is easily accessible by public transport. Both dine-in and takeaway options are available, making it convenient for quick meals or leisurely dining.
The concept expanded to include a specialized venture focused on Vietnamese sandwiches and Asian-influenced donuts located nearby. This growth reveals how the original idea developed into something larger with distinct product offerings.
