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.

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

Their fish quality was so poor :(We made the mistake of ordering Sashimi Deluxe and it was a pain to eat it.I obviously didn't expect the highest quality fish from a cheap restaurant but it was just a bit too old-tasting to me.Their chicken udon was good though!And their rolls were ok too.Just make sure not to order sashimi hahaAlso, there's only street parking. There were plenty when we went though.Also, the service was amazing!!Honestly would've given a lower rating if the service wasn't so good. There was only one lady doing everything and she was still super efficient and attentive.

While I didn't like the music, and my Seafood Sukiyaki had very little seafood: one shrimp, a few tiny slices of squid, one little scallop and a few tiny clams, nevertheless the sukiyaki broth was lovely and my other dishes were excellent: mixed tempura was well done and the salmon teriyaki with homemade sauce was very tasty, so four stars it is. And yes, I will return.
