The situation was a bit challenging: we were 11 people (included 4 tired, starving toddlers) in search of sushi in a neighborhood not famed for its finer food options. A quick sushi search on Yelp lead us to Hoki, and I called in advance to be sure that they could accommodate our hungry herd pronto. The person on the phone said, yes, and that the table would be ready on arrival! When we got there they escorted us to the fabulous indoor/outdoor terrasse full of hot lamps to keep us cozy while enjoying the bright, crisp winter day. The setting was perfect! Regarding our meal, everyone found something suitable on the menu, from salmon tempura and sashimi, to Bento boxes, seaweed salad and even my quite good ramen noodle soup. The staff was friendly, efficient and even gave toys out to the kids as we were leaving. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if I found myself in the area and craving sushi I would definitely go back.

Before my food came out I was brought numerous appetizers that I didn't even order or pay for! A salad, some shrimp, and some sort of roll, all of which were delicious. The flavoring of the noodles was amazing, and the shrimp were extra juicy. After I finished the noodles, they brought me some fruit and a new set of chopsticks and napkins. The fish was amazing as well, tasted super fresh and melted in my mouth. The rice was perfect. Absolutely zero complaints with this place, I highly recommend it.

Even with the address in hand I walked by this discrete Japanese twice before finally finding it!…read moreAs soon as I opened the door and scoured the should-to-shoulder room I knew that this was not your regular, average Japanese place but a coveted address that people from all of the hood knew about. The menu is pretty vast, and covers your typically range of sashimi, tempura, sushi, bento, yakitori but also has a pretty sweet selection of udon or soba noodle soups, which is exactly what I was craving that rainy, Wednesday afternoon. I ordered an udon soup lunch special which came with a lovely salad sampler, a steaming bowl of udon soup with some shrimp tempura floating above, a nice steamy pot of tea and some fruit for dessert. All that for the very reasonable price of 13,50E. As someone was paying I heard them ask if the house delivered as well and my heart starting pounding and my mind racing with dreams of authentic Japanese delivered straight to my home, but alas, the radius us too small and my home is out of limits. If you live in the 11th, though, you just scored a sweet new Japanese delivery situation.

Some people had written it was pricey but I have to say it's the complete opposite. They have good combinations that give you a taste of different items on the menu. I chose the option of 5 sashimi w/ the 5 different skewers & a bowl of rice . This was more than enough esp since it came w/ soup & salad as well. All of that for 16 euros!! The sashimi was good and the skewers were even better. Everything was so yummy and the owners/ servers were super nice & welcoming. When I come back to Paris, I will stop by here

You have a lot of good choices from the yakitori (skewered foods, usually meat) sushi & sashimi. There are a plethora of formulas (combonation meals). They also have cocktails ( I'll try 1 next time)! The service is prompt and the food is simply delicious! Who said an extravagent meal is a better meal! This place is good if you are solo or with a group of friends, and if you love attention while dining this is a good place for you! Japanese food always looks like it's to small of a portion but by the end of a meal you are full (unless you only get a small sushi/ sashimi). Also, it's not to heavy on the pockets if you're budgeting!

My hubby was sick and tired of 'French' places that were overly priced and not very good, that he 'threatened' to eat at either a Hard Rock Cafe, or this sushi buffet close to our hotel. There were 5 sushi places around the hotel and we picked the buffet one. 16€ for a buffet. Walking in, there was no irrashaimasie, no sushi chef station, he must be inside?? The Asian-looking waitress spoke enough English, though. Everyone else seemed to be enjoying their dinner except us. We were flabbergasted on how humongous the rice was underneath the fish. I will NEVER complain about how large rice is at some places in the US again. This was just ridiculous. And also, having been to Japan last year, where rice is almost invisible, this was something we could not tolerate much of. The appetizers were weird. Does beignet just mean fried? The calamari did not taste good, nor did the tempura, per my husband. The yakitori, chicken and beef, were soft but tasteless. The gyoza called Japanese ravioli was disgusting. The tuna was not of high quality. The best dish was probably the salmon, and that's saying a lot. There was VERY limited variety of fish. The best thing? They don't charge you for the leftover rice. That itself gave this place the 2 stars. Upon leaving the place, there was a line out the door. Daamn. Of note, this must be a French or European thing. I saw a table behind us asked to be moved to a smaller table since a larger group was coming in. Seemed weird, but at least they did not have food on their tables. BUT THEN! We saw the waitress ask a group of 4 (seated in a 6) to move, already eating!! Since a larger group was arriving! And they moved without any qualms. I am not sure what I would have done. But then again, I am a guest here. Just a note for the Americans out there =) *** Note: visit to this place was in May 2014

I also had gyoza, and those were at best mediocre, which might still get a pass elsewhere, but not in this particular neighbourhood where quality Japanese food is everywhere. the ambience was uninteresting, just a restaurant in the middle of lunch rush trying to get you your food and get you out as fast as possible.

Not quite authentic Japanese food and this was the only Japanese restaurant we tried in Paris so I'm not sure how it compares. An okay experience overall but we likely won't be back.

Food was ok. It was my first time having sushi in Paris…read more The place was very small so most of time you will see people in line out the door. There were few other tables in the lower floor too but overall it's a small sized restaurant. Service was great. Poor waiter had to go up and down the stairs to serve us. The stairway is very narrow so you'll have to hold a handle at all time when you go up and down. Otherwise you might fall. He was too busy and kept forgetting to bring us chopsticks. We ended up eating half of our food with our hands because we were too hungry. Other than that waiter was a nice guy. Food was ok. Fish was fresh mostly. Maki was great. Nigiri was fresh but too much rice. Only thing I didn't enjoy was eel nigiri. Chicken katsu was great too. I would've given maybe four stars but I'm giving three stars because of bathroom situation. Yeah only bathroom that restaurant had was in the lower floor. We were seated in the lower floor so it wasn't an issue for us to go. However me and my daughter almost burned our hands. At first my daughter screamed saying it was hot when she first turned on the water. I was like how hot can it be. Yeah it was boiling hot. I tried to make the faucet work so I can get some cold water come out. It didn't work. I had to put my hands under the water to see how hot it was and almost burned my hands too. I came out and asked for cold water to the waiter. He tells me that faucet is broken since yesterday. Even if there was a sign put up saying it was broken I would not have known. Yeah but there was no sign. Anyway we got some cold water to cool down but I felt bad for my 5 year old daughter. My hands were still red even after we got home.
