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.
First time here a couple of days ago & it was alright. I've had better korean bbq than this one. Variety of food could be better, I couldn't find anything noodles or fried rice on the menu. Just white 🍚. Service was good, no negatives there. Just know that you only have a max. of 2hrs to order & be done eating from the time you get seated. I most likely won't be back here again but it was good. & I'll recommend their mango ice cream to anyone that goes there. The best I've had anywhere that's all you can eat.
Beaucoup de choix mais le boeuf & le porc étaient très ligneux & revenaient en bouche. Déception . Le poisson (sole) était clairement pas frais & était caoutchouteux ( sa sursalination était d'ailleurs sûrement voulu pour cacher cela). Pas vraiment eu le temps d'en parler car le serveur insistait seulement sur le fait qu'il fallait partir, car cela fesait presque 2 hr que nous y étions. Il voulait même annuler notre dernière commande pour le désert, mais nous avons dû insister. Nous avons poliment recommandé de prolonger les temps pour souper de 15-20 min car pas assez de temps pour un groupe, mais il s'est réfugié dernière la politique du resto. Pas intéressé.... En plus, il ne nous parlait pas Français. Bref, on ne va plus là, il y a tellement mieux qui existe!

Déçu. 34$ par personne le soir dans la semaine. Seulement 2 sortes de viande de beouf coupé extrêmement mince. Le sushi n'est pas pire mais on va au BBQ pour la viande avant tout. Au moins, ajouter la langue de beouf pour le menu du soir dans la semaine. Update: back again last night & indeed, menu was improved & taste good. Changed to 4 stars, 5 if the rices were less dry & have more flavor.
Food is great. The idea of bbqing & sushi is really nice. When checking the price, take care when looking online that there are 2 Hoshi's. The website of the one on the West Island only has a Facebook page. The other on St Jerome has a regular website. Prices are different though.
Terrible service. I have a gluten intolerance (not serious, no celiac, but enough to have me sick for a few days) & our server told us there was NOTHING on the menu I could eat. She didn't even try. When I persisted she finally got someone else who explained the things I could have. So not worth $40, even for the people who can eat everything. The food was decent, more so than we expected, but you're basically on your own unless someone is dropping off food/drink at the table or clearing. Also, the parking lot is insanely small for the number of restaurants, it's a zoo. Do not recommend.
La nourriture est plutôt bonne, c'est un all you can eat le prix est de 42$ par personne. Très souvent plein, donc toujours mieux de réserver. Sinon possible de venir sans réservation. On était 2 & ils nous expliquer qu'on a un temps de 2h sur la table (je pense les groupes n'en n'ont pas. Le services est assez rapide dans tous les cas & la nourriture est bonne. Pour ceux qui aiment les sushis, on a du choix donc c'est un de leur gros avantage aussi.
Quite a wide variety of options & the food is pretty good. The sushi is what you would expect from an all you can eat that mostly focuses on Korean BBQ (the fish doesn't really taste fresh & lots of rice). The meats were a little chewy, but the taste was good. Service was very nice & quick. Overall not a bad place to go for some all you can eat in the West Island.

We went tonight to the restaurant for dinner with another couple Our friends who recommended this place . It was my first time there & I am a night person as I work in restaurant & perform in many places. The food was extremely good The idea of self cooking your meat & veggies is amazing . The dessert sushi frutti is Sublime BUT the SERVICE... well it was divided between a super Nice waiter that took care of our table ( i believe his name was TIM) & another person who was so RUDE & So Bad for the customer service the worst that I have encountered. It isn't our problem to deal with a Manager who had a bad day or rough times . I think the HR department should know better. It was a very Bad experience ( customer service wise ) & I was willing to bring my kids to try this new restaurant & new system ( they would have loved it ) but I don't think I would be doing so after what happened with us tonight. The four of us were so disappointed that I guess we will have a review about that all of us . Unfortunately all the amazing night was ruined because of this " mistake " P.S : first rudness from this person was his way of talking with me telling me about my foot that was in his way ( well I am a 6'4" 28lbs guy ) so its either the tables get bigger or I sit in a way that my feet will both be stretched because I Don't fit like a normal person . Am sorry but this isn't a way to talk to a customer & 3 other incidents occurred with the same person especially when we were given the bills ... RUDE person & RUDE Manners . Thank you.
We went on a Friday night. The food was very good. The meat that we've got to cook ourselves was delicious. The sushi was good as well( no sashimi but that's ok) the dessert( ice cream, fruity sushi) delicious.The staff are divided between welcoming , great customer service & some others who were very very rude with no sign of any knowledge of customer service's etiquette. If i'm dining outside i surely wouldn't want to endure the bad day that the manager or waiter is having but anyways, as a recruiter, I would advise the hiring managers to recruit wisely their staff.
‼️ The MANAGER threw the bill on our face‼️ Its our second time here, may be the last one. Service is not bad, the staff are good, but the manager was very impolite. He threw the bill on our table just because we didn't know that he is the manager & we were thinking he is a waiter. Another ruined day because of some one's attitude.
Good food & service, very much on par with other Korean bbq sushi places. Maybe a bit pricey for this kind of restaurant? Sushi ingredients are fairly fresh. The pork & beef options are a bit fatty, but still fresh.
Some may find it a bit expensive but no, it's worth the money. Amazing services, super nice waitresses, nice ambiance & the place is very clean very professional. It's my third time & definitely going back. This is a place I'd 100% recommend to friends.
On December 29 at 5:30 p.m., there were 12 of us having dinner at Hoshi. We were divided into two tables. For our table we ordered soup, seafood, Korean BBQ meat & sushi. The soup, seafood & Korean BBQ meat were quickly served, but we noticed that the sushi was not served. We thought the staff was too busy & the sushi would eventually be served. However, after 1 hour we still didn't have any sushi, so we decided to inform the staff. Two waiters came to us & asked us which sushi were missing. We were very surprised that they didn't know what food was served & what food was missing. Then sushi was served. After that, a waiter (~20 years old, 1.65m tall, ~80Kg) came with a plate containing 3 pieces of spicy salmon & tuna Nigiri. We realized this plate was already served so we asked if it could be returned. The waiter took the plate back to the kitchen & came later with the same plate. He said in a mad voice that we must take this plate since it is prepared for us. We told them that if in the first place, they knew what food was served & what food is missing, this situation could not have happened. The waiter asked us why we were so frustrated & we responded that we didn't want to have the same plate twice & that if the service was good in the first place, this situation couldn't happen. He said a mistake could happen & he took the plate & taped it to our table "BANG" & left. We were all in shock to see this act of violence. We have never experienced this kind of attitude from a server in the past. This is unacceptable. We hope the owner can identify this staff & provide him with more training. If he is not aware of his horrible behavior, he will make another victim & it will damage Hoshi's reputation. We really like the food, but with this waiter's attitude we don't recommend this place. Food: 4/5, Service: 0/5, Atmosphere: 4/5.
