Practical tips

To get to these places, prioritize public transport. Metro Line 1 serves Leader Sushi and Hoki Sushi (Les Halles or Louvre-Rivoli stations). For Kanpai, get off at Saint-Sulpice (Metro Line 4). The RER A takes you near NKI Sushi and Bloom Sushi (Charles de Gaulle - Étoile station). As for hours, most establishments close between 10:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m., except Hoki Sushi, which stays open until 1:00 a.m. My local tip: avoid the lunchtime rush (12:30-1:30 p.m.) in the 1st arrondissement, make your weekend reservation the day before, and do not hesitate to ask for the daily menus, which often offer the best value for money.
