Many diners appreciate the efficient mobile ordering system and value for money, frequently highlighting the quality of the meats and sushi options. While the atmosphere is often described as inviting and cozy, some patrons have reported inconsistent experiences regarding food seasoning, ventilation issues, and occasional service lapses from specific staff members.

If you're looking for a korean bbq + AYCE sushi, Hoshi offers both without sacrificing the taste of either.
I would say the variety is hit or miss depending on if you wanted anything really specific, but I can't fault them for that as it isn't common for an AYCE to be both a sushi & a bbq place. It could also be that their lunch menu is different from their evening menu.
The food overall is good, the atmosphere feels inviting, & the staff are definitely worth praising for their friendly & outgoing attitude.
My bill for the lunch menu ended up being around 65$ before tips for 2 people, which isn't bad in my opinion.
If you got a car, or got easy bus access somehow, this place is solid & I can definitely recommend at least trying it once to see if you vibe with it.
Went here for the all-you-can-eat with a group of 4 adults. The food was okay, nothing special, but the service completely ruined the experience.
We were rushed the entire time. About 1 hour in, staff were already asking if we wanted to order more & pushing us along, even though the dining time is supposed to be around 2 hours. It didn't feel like we were being given a normal, relaxed dining experience.
What made it worse was the overall vibe. We were the only brown (South Asian) group in the restaurant. Throughout the meal, I felt like the staff were constantly watching us & treating us differently. It was uncomfortable & unnecessary.
For context, we ordered normally-nothing excessive-& we didn't waste any food. We even asked for the bill at around the 1 hour 40 minute mark, so it's not like we were overstaying.
If the issue was just timing or table turnover, that's one thing-but the way it was handled, combined with how we were made to feel, left a really bad impression. If they only care to cater to a certain type of crowd, maybe they should move their restaurant somewhere in Ohio or Mississippi where they will find their desired crowd & don't have to deal with diversity, because this was not it.
Still left a 20% tip btw maybe you can use it for behavioural short courses for your staff.
me & my friends went here to get dinner around 6 on sunday & there was 6 of us. the food took a while to come out, some food that we didn't order came to our table, the servers looked like they didn't wanna serve us at all. when it came to paying we all paid by couple so 3 bills in total & the guy checking us out ( maybe the manger) didn't let us put our own tip but he picked his own tip which i found is a bit weird since most places let you select your own tipping… our bill went from $105 to $127 for 2 people.. it's not bad but it's just that he selected his own tip which is absurd…

Everything was nice. Atmosphere was calming & welcoming & the food was delicious. My only complaint was one of the older workers there who seemed to add tipping in the final bill without notifying us. We were three different parties there, so three different bills. Two-Two & Three. It seemed gor one of the bills he added more or less 20$ while the others payed 15$ extra. I feel as tho tipping shouldn't be in the final bill, & be based on the experience we had. Especially since then also got upset when we asked him about it.
They charged me tips twice (approx. $40 x 2). I noticed it on the bills & got it reversed though. It's disgusting & unethical practice, I'll never come back again !
Food was excellent; however, the manager was rude, fatshamed my friend & expected a tip. Who asks for a tip after fat shaming someone?!?!? The food excused his bad behaviou
I had an amazing time at this Korean BBQ spot! The food was absolutely delicious - the meat was fresh, perfectly seasoned, & grilled right at the table, which added to the whole fun of the experience. Every bite was packed with flavor, & the side dishes (especially the kimchi & dipping sauces) were top-notch.
What really made the night stand out, though, was the owner. The Asian boss was incredible - super friendly, welcoming, & clearly passionate about the food & the service. He checked in with us multiple times to make sure everything was perfect & even gave us a few tips on how to grill the meat the Korean way. His energy really lifted the whole vibe of the place.
Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a great meal & a warm, memorable experience!
The food is delicious & the decor is very calming, my only complaint is about one of the workers who seems to have a negative opinion when he isn't given a high tip. I have been to this place twice so far & he was our waiter both times..& after both meals he would ask for a tip. To which he was given one, but when he would look at the amount given he would proceed to complain & say things like how Hoshi is not a fast food restaurant, or like how the chef's & waiters work just as hard as them.
It sort of feels like he is pressuring customers to give him even more money than what we already have to pay when eating in large groups.
The waiter gave me shit for giving a 2$ tip, I'm not made out of money! He also kept circling our table & trying to eve drop on the conversation. Very unprofessional.
I don't think ANY restaurant should be adding people's tips to their bill. This one unfortunately does, the manager said it was part of their policy once you come in, I'm not saying that it's their fault but this principle is just plain stupid, there is no absolute way for waiters to take accountability for giving bad service.
I understand that your waiters work as a group & tips are split, but if bad service is given from someone of your group, then your group should take responsibility for not giving the proper service.
It's principle for customers to tip, but if you give bad service then you deserve not to be tipped. It's part of your job as a waiter.
