Review Summary

Reviews describe Hoshi as a small, cozy Chinatown spot that serves authentic Japanese fare with generous portions, highlighting katsu dishes like rosu katsu curry and tonkatsu don along with udon and tempura, all at good prices and with very friendly, attentive service. Most plates are praised for flavor, crisp crust, and a good balance of rice and curry, though a few pieces can be slightly dry in the middle or the bottom can get a bit soggy from rice and sauce, and seating is limited with lines at busy times; still, the overall impression is that Hoshi is a tasty, value-rich hidden gem worth returning to.View restaurant profile
