Hoshi est largement considéré comme une perle cachée du quartier chinois offrant une expérience culinaire japonaise authentique et de grande qualité. La clientèle vante régulièrement le katsu de porc pour sa tendreté exceptionnelle, son côté juteux et son croustillant parfait, le désignant souvent comme le plat phare du menu. L'établissement est reconnu pour ses portions généreuses, ses sauces savoureuses et une présentation soignée, le tout à des prix très abordables. Bien que l'espace soit restreint et puisse entraîner des attentes aux heures de pointe, le service est fréquemment décrit comme chaleureux, efficace et extrêmement sympathique. De nombreux visiteurs apprécient les attentions particulières, telles que la soupe offerte, et estiment que la cuisine délicieuse aux saveurs maison rend la visite incontournable.
Our experience this time fell a little short of what we had read in the reviews, though we hope it was just an off day. The service was genuinely friendly & hospitable, & the portions were generous - the complimentary cream of mushroom soup was also a nice touch. We ordered the Teppan Hamburger Steak & the Katsu Curry Udon, but both dishes came out too heavily seasoned for our taste. The miso soup on the side was similarly over-seasoned, with the anchovy notes from the dashi stock overpowering the other components. My partner also got a stomachache after the katsu curry udon, which may have been a one-off, but it added to an overall mediocre experience unfortunately. We've had better katsu & Japanese steak elsewhere.
A very cozy, homestyle Japanese restaurant located right inside Chinatown!
I ordered the Udon Hoshi Katsu & really appreciated how generous they are with the crispy cod katsu & scallop katsu.
However, I'm not entirely sure how well the guacamole pairs with the udon. I also wish they would serve the fried fish & scallop on the side, as the steam from the hot udon tends to soften the crispy crust of the katsu.
If they are going for a fusion angle, a citrus & rice pairing might work a bit better here rather than mixing it with the heavy katsu sauce.
That being said, it's a lovely spot & I'd definitely say come out to support this small business! I really hope to see them refine the dish & improve over time.
Our plate came with a fly on it… & the waitress & turned a blind eye. She looked like she didn't want to work or be there, not a single smile while she served us. The katsu don was a bit too salty meanwhile the curry udon was a bit bland. They also forgot some ingredients to our bowl & we had to recheck the menu & asked them for it..

Food was great! Friendly staff & reasonable prices.
We ordered the the spicy salmon salad, rosu katsu udon & the curry katsu don
The katsu was very good & flavourful, some pieces were slightly tough, but for the most part very tasty & tender, & the curry sauce is great. Salad is very refreshing.
Would definitely come back!
Small resto but cute, more on the edge of Chinatown. Good Japanese food though the mushroom soup they give (included) & miso soup were way too salty.
They were out of hire at 7pm so we got the rosu katsu quite filling. The menu is rather simple & variations with soup or udon miso soup or rice or udon curry. Meat was juicy crispy tender & flavorful. Prices & portions are good! Also had the salmon tartare entrée on a bed of avocado, tasted great.
One waitress/host managed the few tables. She was really nice & courteous
Excellent location, food comes fast & is very tasty. Had tempura udon, portions are large & all come with miso & cream of mushroom soup.
Won't make a mistake if you come here. Cheers
Nourriture excellente, très savoureuse. Vraiment le highlight de mon année si vous êtes dans le coin & recherchez un restaurant c'est ici qu'il faut venir. Bons prix aussi
