Hoshinoya - San Francisc

This is a solid place for Japanese food in the Japantown. By the time we get the table, the restaurant is not too busy. I got the katsu curry with rice. The katsu is cooked perfectly, crispy and not greasy. The curry is also good. Nothing fancy but it is satisfying. Next time I want to try the fried rice. I saw a big plate of fried rice puffed with hot air and it looks very good.

Really good food, the ramen broth for the tonkatsu was light and flavorful.The curry rice was filling, and the broth for the agedashi tofu packs a punch.The waiter was stretched thin... And there's usually a waiting list, all of which is understandable.

It's a great ramen but not the best in town. The broth was amazing but I have had a better chashu

Paid 203 for dinner and soups. Gave us cheap plastic containers to take the leftover food/ soups. With cheap flimsy plastic lids. The lids popped off on the pay home have soup all over the carpent of my van.What a joke. Will never go there again.Make it right! Refund our money or pay for carpet cleaning!07/23/2023? This place is also engaging in credit card fraud. I left a 15,00 tip. Big mistake. They added another 3% tip.

This place was busy even for Friday lunch. We got spicy miso ramen and kurobuta pork bowl with rice. The food was tasty and really well made. The ramen wasn’t very oily but still very flavorful with perfectly boiled jammy eggs. The pork dish was delightful. Flavorful and melt in mouth. They had a pretty extensive drinks menu too which we didn’t try but would be good paired with the food.
