Reviews of Hoshi BBQ coréen describe a lively, welcoming atmosphere with a very friendly staff and strong value thanks to a wide all you can eat menu that blends Korean BBQ with sushi and skewers, fast service, and a QR based ordering system that keeps dishes flowing and crowds happy. Many diners praise the high quality of meats and fresh sushi, the variety, and the comfortable, family friendly vibe, with some calling it a go to spot for casual outings and gatherings. However, some experiences note downsides such as dishes being overly salty or not as fresh on certain visits, occasional smoky odors from limited ventilation, and inconsistent service with some staff interactions that detracted from the night. A few reviewers also mention issues with a rude hostess, pushy tipping behavior, or logistical hiccups like parking or reservation needs, but these are outweighed by positive impressions for most and many say they would return.
Went again yesterday a Monday, was bad… servers were cold didnt care much , food was horrible the meat didnt feel fresh at all. The sushi was falling apart.. not worth the price of a AYCE
Went for lunch & it was very good. There was a good selections of items, Sushi, fried foods, meat on skewers, raw meats etc. Lots of fun cooking your own food, it's a different experience. Great atmosphere & Friendly staff. 8.8/10

Pros:
A) Korean, Japanese & Chinese style cuisine which is nice.
B) The manager & servers were attentive & well trained.
C) The food was alright & okay Sushi's were good & so were the meats.
Cons:
A) The Bathrooms need better attention & renovations.
B) The front area needs a better attention as well.
C) They have WiFi & it's locked so if you need to order. If you need to order via WiFi How?
D) You only use your phone to order other places have iPads & touchscreens or paper menu etc.
E) The lighting & ventilation can be better as well from my perspective.
Conclusion:
Been here 3x & I am just not a fan of this style of concept. It used to be an improvement 2-3 years ago now It changed & now I am indifferent on this establishment.
Personnel sans âme. Buffet à volonté avec nourriture insipide. Vous devrez laver vos vêtements & manteaux tellement ils empesteront la friture. Traces de gras proéminentes à la base du'grill' coréen.
Good atmosphere, very polite crew. The menu's quiet nice. The only thing that is not enjoyable is that most of what they've served is too salty. Anything else is good !

Très bonne sélection d ingrédient, les viandes sont de bonne qualité. Le Kim chi est correct mais la souoe aigre piquante est décevante. Le staff est très courtois & serviable.
Les sushis sont excellents & les crevettes tempura sont parfaite.
First time eating here & will be the last time. Jan 28th we were greeted by the rudest hostess. She just handed us the ipad to put in our order without any explanation. It being our first time there, we were a bit confused about how to proceed exactly. We tried asking her for help but she didn't seem to understand very much so we asked if she speaks French. She rolled her eyes & rudely said no but you speak English. She is definitely not the type of employee any restaurant should have to greet clients. Luckily then our server was
someone else who was more courteous.
Then the food… nothing great there. Firstly, the plates are the size of appetizer plates. Secondly they have no forks. I understand it's a concept but they should accommodate clients who are not accustomed to chop sticks. We are in Canada!! The quantities are ridiculously small so constant ordering is necessary & you can easily be there for 3 hours. For example, If you order onion to cook with your meat they literally bring 1 onion ring on a huge plate. You order ice-cream they bring you a ball made with a melon baller!!! It's absolutely ridiculous! I understand they don't want to waste food but why not tell clients what to expect with the quantity instead of wasting time. Already that it ends up being a long meal. In addition , the grill is too hot & you can feel the extreme heat from your seat, & the smell that we had in our clothing after being there was absolutely disgusting. The worst meal & service I have had in a long time.
had dinner there Monday evening (the 19th). food was amazing. service was friendly & effective. spoke to the manager Jason who was very friendly & clearly cares about his business. the girl at the reception was cold & borderline rude, did not pass the vibe check at all

on January 19 around 19:30 // Food was fresh & delicious with a great variety. Service was lightning fast & Our server *Jason* gave us one of the best service we've ever had! Such a gentleman.
The only downside was the poor service from the hostess. When my wife called to make sure we didn't need a reservation before coming in: she felt like the hostess was rude to her & didn't want to have to deal with her over the phone. When we arrived, my wife asked her for the bathroom & she ignored her ... Then she showed us a pamphlet & said'Scan'. My wife, my cousin & I were baffled by her attitude to say the least. But at least Jason saved the night with his amazing service.
We will definetly come again & we hope we won't get the same trestment with the hostess 😮?💨
For a'all you can eat' restaurant, I was expecting alot more than this & I've been to many of those. I feel let down, because they have the least food option & the sushis were just 😐... Let's just say they were sitting in the fridge for too long since the rice was dry. The service was good tho & the place sure looks nice, but seems like they dont have no airing system/fans so it is smoky in there & you will come out smelling like food. Sadly first & last time for us.
C'était bon, beaucoup de choix & le service très rapide. On se sentait un peu mal de commander des petites quantités d'à peu près tout ce qu'il y avait au menu, mais au final on a pu goûter à tout!
Truly the best service & sweetest people. Very cozy atmosphere, & the food is good. It's been my go-to for a while now, & Tommy always makes you feel welcomed & taken care of :) Highly recommend for solo or group outings!
This is an amazing all-you-can-eat spot! Perfect for family gatherings, hanging out with friends, or even work parties. Just be prepared to leave very full, there's so much food to enjoy! Everything we tried was delicious, & the variety makes it totally worth it. Definitely coming back again.
They charged me tips twice (approx. $40 x 2). I noticed it on the bills & got it reversed though. It's disgusting & unethical practice, I'll never come back again !
