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.
Très bon repas dans ce petit restaurant japonais. Le service est soigné, & les portions sont généreuses. La qualité est au rendez vous, je recommande vivement !
Took out katsu don with extra hire katsu for the second time.
1. Why would you even make the egg in katsu don scrambled? I was very shocked. It wasn't like that the first time so i dont know if the recipe changed or the kitchen staff was trolling.
2. The katsu sauce has too much plum flavour to the point where i couldnt eat.
So much worse than the first time. Never visiting again but the quality of the ingredient itself was good, so i will still leave 4star.
Please review your recipe.

I went on a Tuesday evening. There is only one way to describe this place, perfection. The food was so tasty, I got the Sando. The staff was very friendly. I even had the chance to speak to the owner, who was very passionate & kind. They even give soup while you wait for the food, which is tasty as well. The menu also has a great variety. This is a really great place. I highly recommend it & will definitely come back!
It's a Japanese restaurant.
I love this restaurant because I ordered'Katsudon', it's so delicious & a little sweet. I'm Japanese, & I found this really delicious 😊 I'm sure other Japanese people would enjoy it too!
Comment dire ?! Sans doute les meilleurs crevettes tempura que j'ai eu mangé. Ne vous fiez pas à l'extérieur sans prétention & poussez la porte de ce restaurant.
Leur plat Hoshi tempura Udon a été un très belle découverte, une très belle présentation, mais surtout un plaisir pour les papilles !
Bref un sans faute pour les amoureux de cuisine d'ailleurs.
