Review Summary

Hoshi comes up in reviews as a cozy, small Japanese spot at the edge of Chinatown that serves authentic, generously portioned katsu, don, udon and tempura, with the pork cutlet and curry katsu repeatedly praised for a juicy, crispy crust and rich curry; the salmon, tuna and seafood items are described as fresh and tasty, and the tempura udon is a favorite for many. Soups such as miso and a creamy mushroom starter are commonly noted, though a few bowls can be overly salty, and some diners found the katsu don or curry a touch heavy on onions or texture a little underdone. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive in a tiny, often busy space, and portions and prices are generally considered very good value. The place is frequently labeled a hidden gem and worth the wait, with several reviewers planning to return to try more dishes, while a handful warn that seating is limited and lines can form during peak hours.

Found about this place not that long ago. The food is great, so much so that my partner wants to come back to try out everything else. Creamy soup is offered at the start, I enjoyed it. Then entrées of Menchi Katsu & Spicy Tuna Salad are also tasty with the avocado on both. Then, I went for Hire Katsu Curry Udon while my partner went for Katsudon. Yeah, I really need to go back again when I feel the hunger 🤤

Note: Spicy Tuna Salad spiciness is from the slaw beneath the few tuna slices. If you can't handle spicy, I'd suggest not to or bring someone that can handle it & willing to take it from you 😅

The service & food were good, but the soups (1st one was a creamy one taste like the Campbell mushroom soup & the 2nd one was a miso base) were both cold 🥶. I did tell them about it, & they immediately switched for me. Overall, good tonkatsu & udon bowl. I'll come back to give them a 2nd try

Came here for dinner & It was busy but we luckily got seated right away I got the Shrimp Udon Soup & it was bursting with so much flavor, the udon was perfectly cooked, & all of the toppings were so delicious. Staff is also super friendly & although its small I loved the overall vibe of the restaurant :) I liked the soup so much that I went back the next day but this time right when they opened! Staff was again very friendly, attentive, & the soup was just as good as the day before! I truly enioyed both of my visits & cant wait to come back again!

Hoshi was an okay experience. My partner & I came after seeing an ad on Instagram. We started off with complimentary mushoom soup that was a great way to beat the cold. I ordered the Katsu-don, & my partner got the katsu. The katsu were as thick as the pictures showed. It was crunchy & maybe a bit overdone as it was slightly chewy. I personally would've liked the cuts to be thinner if anything because I value the crunchy outside. The egg didn't seem to be seasoned, maybe intentionally, but the sauce with the rice was really good. My partner's comments were that he also found the katsu to be a bit tough & would've liked more of the seasoning on the side. There was also a lot of salad. Overall, this is a cute hole in the wall Japanese restaurant that really tries to give authentic Japanese food. Personally, I don't see myself coming here too often, but it was good.

Food was delicious. They gave us a little plate of soup before our order arrived. The girl who served our table was super nice.
