Plusieurs avis présentent Hoshi BBQ coréen comme un lieu animé en formule buffet à volonté, mêlant barbecue coréen et sushi, avec un service rapide et une ambiance conviviale adaptée aux familles, et beaucoup louent la variété, la fraîcheur du sushi et le rapport qualité prix lors du déjeuner ou des menus tout compris. Toutefois les expériences varient: certains clients constatent de longues attentes lorsque les places manquent à l'intérieur, un service parfois froid ou irrégulier, et une zone de cuisson fumante avec une ventilation perfectible. D'autres notent des options de viande limitées pour le barbecue, des grills pas assez chauds et des plats parfois trop salés ou manquant de fraîcheur, ainsi que des soucis occasionnels avec le système de commande via QR ou la taille des portions. Dans l'ensemble, les impressions vont d'excellentes performances en termes de qualité et de rapidité à des avis plus mitigés sur la régularité et la valeur, selon l'heure et la taille du groupe.
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.
Food was okay, some of the meat were not seasoned, sushis not good. Service was quite fast though when quiet. Waiter rushing us at the end when we still had time left to eat, bringing us the machine to pay. Very unpleasant experience, & even forcing us to tip.
We went on a Friday night. It didn't look too busy. Low quality food. Most of the meat had an after taste. On the fried bun they had added a white sweet coulis that tasted similar to Krispy Kreme but way too sweet & with a weird taste. The mango ice cream was definitely not mango tasting, it tasted more like a kid's cough syrup. The servers had no manners. When bringing food over there was a weird stare from one of them. The last server who cleared the table & brought us our bills was rude & impatient. I have nothing against restaurants charging 15% service fees for larger groups. But what they did was before handing us the machine they selected the 15% tips for us. Which means we're paying 15% on the price after tax. That comes up to more than 15% service fees! In the end, the food & service was definitely not worth $41.99

Food was good, although they kept bringing wrong orders to our table, also they never came to clear our table which we found bazaar as we were four adults & a baby. Also the guy did not even give us an opportunity to rate the service & tip accordingly, punches in whatever % into the machine & handed it to us. Found it a little bazaa
Walked in Hoshi with no reservation & no prior Korean bbq experience. The receptionist was very nice & found us a table even though it was a Friday evening, they gave us an hour & a half before the tables reservation would arrive. We get seated & the bbq gets lit. Electronic menu on your phone so you can order constantly is a nice way to do things. So I get a Sapporo pitcher (yeah, yeah, sue me) for the lady & I along with some veggies & meat. Everything arrived almost instantly. Sushies & other Asian style foods are available. Beef, pork, veal, chicken, shrimps & the likes & they also have seasoned skewers of the aforementioned meats. You got the typical Asian style American food also (heavily fried & pankoed items) All in all we ate to our content & the food was very good. 41.99$ per person plus the beer & tip got me just south of 150$ Kids eat for cheaper. Strong 4 out of 5, enjoyed it much, will return. Unrelated picture of the eclipse for visibility
The only reason I’m giving this 2 stars & not 1 is because the food is good.
I’ve been here 3 times & each time the service was horrible. The first time I was here, they rushed us out & made us pay before we were even done eating. Second time I was there, we were rushed out & pressured to tip. Not only that, but the waiter typed in the amount for us to tip him… & the third time I was there (which was 2 days ago) we were pressured to tip again. I didn’t feel the need to tip because none of the staff really even talk to you the entire time since you order off your phone & then they just being the food out without even making eye contact half the time. The only time they talk to you is when they ask you why you didn’t tip when you go to pay.
