I will be in paris next week and am looking for a GREAT sushi place. I am not looking for anything expensive necesarily but some place that has a good selection of genuine sushi.
Any recommendations?

At Rue St. Anne (a sidestreet near Pyramides Station, accessible from Ave de l%26#39;Opera) is street that has many Japanese restaurants. I am not sure which one is good since I just ate udon noodles there one time.
Bottomline though: I don%26#39;t think Paris (or Europe in general) is the place to sample Japanese food. I ate sushi at Vienna once and it was very disappointing and expensive.

check tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g187147-c38-Pari… -in Paris my Japanese buddy and I prefer to eat Donburi, Udon, tempura and other Japanese dishes rather than sushi as we get such good--and cheap--sushi in Vancouver, but you could try.. be sure though that the staff is Japanese, as not all restaurants are Japanese owned/ staffed.

I agree with Sammyfloyd. We have yet to find a sushi resto that hasn%26#39;t dulled-down the food to the French palate. Even the soy sauce and wasabi are bland in most restos.

Hi;
On the rue des Petite Champs est of Avenue de l%26#39;Opera between the Opera and the Louvre, you%26#39;ll find 5 decent Japanese restaurants with reasonable menus 8-14 euros.
On the Rue Faubourg St Martin, metro Louis Blanc
there must be another 6 all reasonable prices...I like Tokioyaki at 231 Faubourg St Martin.
Matsui at 18rue Cardinal Lemoine in the 5th.
Makayo 20 rue Fremicourt, metro Cambronne in the 15th
Oniwa 45 rue Cler in the 7th
Ashinoma 29, Avenue de Versailles in the 16th
Matsuya 39 rue Galande in the 5th near Notre Dame.
You%26#39;d be amazed at the number of sushi places in Paris.
All the ones I%26#39;ve noted above I%26#39;ve tried.
The one I%26#39;ve preferred is Matsuya,
but the ones on the rue des Petite Champs were memorable, especially the first one past Kioko the Japanese grocery, same side of the street. The name escapes me...

Paris sushi is heavy on the salmon and not real big on experimenting with rolls. A place by my house finally figured out the French aren%26#39;t that big on sushi and started selling pasta. Another place didn%26#39;t even know what edamame was. Stick with French food, they do it really well.

A difficult question to answer - are you looking for sushi, the Japanese food, or American sushi, a Californian invention?
If you%26#39;re looking for American sushi, you will probably be disappointed with the choices available. Japanese sushi is a completely different beast, and people who have only sampled the western varieties often find true Japanese sushi challenging.
There are good sushi restaurants in Paris, but they are Japanese. http://www.cecj.fr/liste_arr.html may help

I should have clarrified, although the responses I have gotten thus far are great!
I lived in Tokoyo for 6 years (88-94) and have had plenty of %26quot;authentic%26quot; sushi...probably way too much is a better way to say it. I do understand even stateside here you are not going to find the real deal and I am sure Paris will be the same way. I am not looking for Westernized or French Japanese food such as Hibachi Chicken and Terriyaki Steak with a Non-Japanese person cooking it in front of you like they do here is the USA, but more of a real sushi bar that is frequested by Japanese, etc.
Also, just something to chew on...Japanese RARELY ever eat Hibachi Chicken or Terriyaki Steak and dad never comes home from work and puts on a show for everyone around the wok...LOL I discovered many Americans feel this way since %26quot;Japanese Steakhouses%26quot; are popular here and this is the impression it leaves in our minds.
Thanks so much for everyone%26#39;s help. We leave in 5 days (Feb. 18-24) and we can%26#39;t wait!

Anyone from N.C. going to be there the same time as us?

If you get to the 7th try Miyako, 121 rue de l%26#39;Université - I have had very good sushi at Miyako and once hosted some VERY paricular Californians there (who before the dinner said, %26quot;Why should we eat sushi in Paris?%26quot;) -- they were very favorably impressed by the reception, service and, especially, the sushi.
You will see a lot of japanese restaurants recommended in rue St. Anne, but they are mainly noodle shops and fast, inexpensive places.

For that... pinch me, I think I%26#39;m in Japan feeling, you do have to go to the rue Ste. Anne. I am not enough of a sushi buff to tell you which is the place to go.
But for udon, it is Kunitoraya on Ste Anne in the 2nd and for soba it would be YEN on the rue St. Benoit in the 6th. Both come highly recommended to me by Japanese expats.
