Hoshi Sushi - El Cerrito

I couldn't help but appreciate the quirky decorations throughout the place, especially the adorable Hello Kitty perched above the kitchen entrance. The menu is impressively extensive, and I found the kids' menu section amusing—I’ll have to look up some of the references when I get home. On our way out, we noticed a family with a young child whose eyes were wide with wonder at the vibrant decorations; there’s so much to take in! Oh, and they have a loyalty card system where you can collect stamps for a free roll. It's funny because just last night I was watching a K-Drama (My Demon) where a similar card was featured. Seems like fate is playing tricks on me again!

My favorite sushi restaurant! I go here whenever I crave sushi. I tend to spend quite a bit of money when I'm there.

I give this place -5 stars the service was absolutely terrible. We sat down and waited to be helped but it never came where other couples that were Asian were sat next to us and they were taken care of their orders water everything were we were just sitting there we felt very uncomfortable and pretty much discriminated against so we left and gave our money to a place that actually deserved it they treated us with respect.I will never go back

Discovered this wonderful gem of a place we discovered by accident yesterday. We were looking for Japanese food in El Cerrito and kept passing by this place so we thought we'd give it a try. We ordered Chicken Kara-age which was crisp and not dried out and also Agedashi Tofu which made it home and wasn't soggy! My Boo ordered Pork Tonkatsu which he said was extremely tender and had an egg on top which he said was really good! I ordered their Chirashi Don which was fresh and the sushi rice had a good taste to it! I want to also make it a point to say that most places that add miso soup and a salad with their entrees are either watered down and or just plain don't taste good however I was impressed with the rich umami flavor of the miso soup and the dressing for the mixed spring mix was very tasty. All of this rounded out somewhere around $60. We got lucky and parking was in front so it made for a quick pick up! Needless to say we were stuffed !

First time eating here the food is amazing! We couldn't get enough of the rolls: we got the lion king, the Godzilla roll, fried spicy tuna, spicy California roll, miso soup, edamame, and the ikura nigiri roll the cheesecake to close out. 10/10 all around they have happy hour 5-7pm Monday thru Thursday
