    Negi-hama maki
    Della S.

    Love the sashimi here but the maki is okay. I saw that the reviews for Hoshi Ya are pretty positive so I decided to try them out. Like others have mentioned, delivery takes about an hour, but I was prepared to wait so it was not too bad. I ordered the sashimi combo entree ($26.95), negi-hama maki ($5.50), volcano maki ($6.95), and the torched white tuna maki ($11.95). The sashimi combo entree came with one of those small cardboard takeout boxes full of rice. It also came with a pretty big container of miso soup. The miso soup was underseasoned. There were 5 different cuts of fish with 3 pieces each, and all of the fish was super fresh and buttery. The pieces of fish were of a reasonable size. I'd probably skip the combo next time and just order the sashimi separately, since the rice and miso soup were pretty underwhelming. I wasn't particularly blown away by the maki. The negi-hama maki was alright, the fish was fresh but the rice wasn't super flavorful. The other two rolls I ordered were drenched in sauce so it was difficult to taste the flavor of the fish. The rolls were thin so the portion of fish was small to begin with. At the same time, the maki was priced very reasonably so this would be a good budget-friendly sushi place. There are so many options for sushi in the Boston area that I can't see myself ordering from here again. However, the fish here is fresh and everything is fairly priced so this is a great place to get sushi and save a little money!

    I was craving sushi so I decided to give this spot a try. It was good and they're open late as well. I'm not sure of the promotion, but I think if you order 3 rolls, you get a choice of edamame or seaweed salad. I chose seaweed salad. I ordered California maki, spider maki, and the hoshi ya maki. Spider and hoshi ya were both pretty good, Cali was pretty basic. Next time, I would request extra soy sauce. Would definitely come back. They also offer delivery, but it might be fast to come pick it up.

    This was my 2nd time coming to this location. It's conveniently located near Brighton Oak Square. I did a cash deal, which was $16.95. This deal includes any 3 rolls with miso soup. I ordered 2 combos which came with a free side of edamame! The quality of all the sushi seemed to be fresh. Also, the rolls were packed, good value for what you get. What I got for $40: 2 spicy tuna rolls 1 spicy salmon roll 2 eel rolls 1 crazy maki roll 2 miso soups 1 container of edamame I loved the taste of all the rolls. I think my favorite is either the spicy salmon or crazy roll. The miso soup was yummy and the edamame were delicious!! I would recommend this place. The cash deal is great value.

    Ordered pickup via Grubhub and order was ready in 20 minutes! 3 rolls: Unagi Spicy Salmon Maki, Black Forest Maki, Spicy Scallop Maki at $6.50 each, and unagi sushi. Order came with two little cups of soy sauce. The rolls weren't as packed as I'd hoped they'd be but they were fresh and tasty. The eel sushi was really good and sauced well. Not a bad local spot to get sushi.

    Crab or fish?
    MoneyMakerMac Eats ..

    Extremely disappointing service, quality and taste. My first time trying a local sushi place and even brought my friends. The cashier was pretty rude and demanding simply when we wanted to pay separately... but that's not the worst of it. The tempura was hard and rubbery and even after calling the woman on the phone argued with me that the fried fish I got was soft shell crab... even though I know the texture and look of soft shell crab and it was absolutely fish. The sushi as well didn't have much flavor. The beef wagyu was decent but doesn't match the price they charge. Extremely disappointing experience and for a small business it's disheartening when you try to give an opportunity to correct the mistake and they'd rather be petty and argue than maintain a loyal customer. Wouldn't recommend and I don't think I'll be back...

    This review is for delivery only. Hoshi Ya is great for your late night sushi cravings. Is it the BEST sushi you'll ever have? No. But for delivery up until 1 AM via GrubHub when your options are skimp, this is a lifesaver. I got an Alaskan Roll & Spicy Tuna roll for $11 - 6 pieces per roll. What I really liked was that Hoshi Ya has a very generous fish to rice ratio. Rolls are all killer, no filler.

    The most satisfying sushi meal! Maki Combo Entree, Salmon Lover Combo, Sashimi Appetizer, Seaweed Salad!

    We have FINALLY found our go to sushi place!!! Everything was so delicious and abundant. We got the makimono combos, salmon lover and sashimi appetizer. Got a free seaweed salad.

    How did I not review this place yet??? I first visited 3 months ago but apparently it's been around for about 2-3 years? Where the heck was I?!?! Oh yea Vermont for school. I wish this place was closer to me because for the affordable price, great quality, and late nights for sushi cravings - it is totally worth the binge! It's nice eating sushi instead of greasy pizza which is usually the only option that is opened that late. At least I wouldn't feel half as bad eating at a late hour, because sushi is healthy... Right? The service is amazing and if you order through their website they offer deals like free edamame/miso soup/etc with orders over a certain price. Favorites: Spicy salmon salad Hoshiya maki Sake don Can you tell I love salmon and everything is fresh. The miso soup is a-ok, I've tasted better but must we really judge a place by the soup? It's just soup!

    We ordered delivery from here, when I had a Grub Hub coupon to use, and wanted a change of scenery from our typical sushi places. Now- from my previous reviews, you'll see that when I usually make this choice, to try something new, I'm terribly disappointed and wish I had just gone with my old standby. Not with this place. My one issue I had with Hoshi Ya, was that they do not have brown rice, which I found out after I ordered, so keep that in mind. The food however was pretty good, and I found myself to be full but not miserable after eating 2 rolls and an appetizer (with white rice) Our delivery arrived in reasonable time, and everyone was super friendly, and easy to communicate with (as soon as I placed my order on GH, a woman called and explained about the brown rice situation). The sushi was well prepared, and seemed to be pretty high quality ingredients. I don't know. Everything was good, and it was a good bang for our buck, but nothing really wow'ed me. We would probably order again but we still have other favorites (mmm Gari).

    Salmon sushi and hamachi melting in your mouth
    Ekaterina M.

    This is the best sushi I ever had in Boston area! Very fresh, large portions, very reasonable price! Outstanding! Very recommend scallops with tabiko and mayo, uni is soo good and hamachi is melting in your mouth!!!

    Cash deal spicy salmon, cali, and crazy rolls!
    Jessica X.

    The best thing about Hoshi Ya is the cash-deal delivery service where you can order as late as midnight! Comes with 1 bowl of miso soup per order. Sushi is fairly decent, overall becomes slightly pricy after you pay the fee and tip the driver, but hey, the price for receiving good sushi delivered to one's door at midnight is suitably high. There was one time the sushi didn't arrive for like, 2 hours, which was fairly annoying, but otherwise, no complaints.

I have high suspicions this place is owned by Chinese people based on some clues, such as Chinese style noodles on the ramen menu and steamed pork buns as an appetizer. We got the beef noodle soup which was excellent (albeit not expected in a Japanese restaurant!). It was actually a little spicy. Came with lots of beef and a flavorful and rich broth. We got two of the special rolls, Kiss of Fire and (I think) Torched Yellowtail, which were both tasty. No complaints there! For our appetizer we got sashimi salad, composed of strips of several kinds of raw fish (salmon, tuna, white tuna, yellowtail) and some surimi and avocado on top of a bed of greens. There was a ponzu like sauce on the side. Although fresh and not bad tasting, I think this was a bit plain. Overall though, the prices and vibes were good and I'd come back!

    First time here and it was great! We did the AYCE all-you-can-eat on a Monday (they only do it…read moreMonday and Tuesdays) - got there around 7:30p and even though it was very full, we got seated quickly with a table for 3. It's $50 for the regular AYCE or $80 for the Premium AYCE. We opted for the former, and it was plenty great. We have done lots of AYCE sushi and I will say this is the BEST of them - I think it's because it's the same grade sushi as they would normally do Ala carte on other nights. The $50 menu had plenty of sashimi and regular nigiri (sushi with rice) options and some Thai too. We had mostly the sashimi Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, Octopus, a few rolls, some edamame, gyoza, shumai. My favorites were the salmon, as the cuts were large, thick and amazing silky, and the gyoza, as it was perfectly crispy. The Pad Thai was bit way too sweet for my taste - a skip for me next time. The decor is very nice - reminded me of a dive Tokyo bar. Service was quick and very attentive. We will be back!

    The AYCE review! So…read moreit's April 2026 and right now Maguro is still running this all you can eat menu on Monday and Tuesday. You have a choice between a standard menu of items for $40 or a premium menu (includes standard) for $80. The $40 AYCE menu is pretty awesome. Alot of sushi and Thai options. Good selection of nigiri or sashimi. The basics of salmon, tuna, shrimp and all of your standard sushi options. Also includes various sushi rolls. You can get appetizers like gyoza and edamame even. . This menu also has Thai dishes like pad thai Of course had to try the premium which includes Otoro, uni and wagyu as the highlights. There are some upgraded appetizers and rolls also in this menu. Unfortunately, but understandably, uni is limited to 4 per person. No limits on the other items. The otoro and uni were excellent. Same for the wagyu and salmon. Mixed in some pieces of sweet shrimp, scallop, lean tuna and more just to round out the meal. I ate 40 pieces of sushi. Which more or less is $2.50 per piece after including a tip and tax. Was it worth it? I can probably say the for $80 you can get a ton of great sushi. They definitely don't downgrade the quality for the deal. Could I do this weekly? Probably not. I left so full. The $80 menu kind of compelled me to order more than I might eat normally. The$40 meal includes dishes like pad thai anyway so I think i could go back and do a sushi pregame and finish with some Thai food. That $40 is definitely worth it. Anyway, you should try this deal once before it goes. I don't think it's permanent. $80 for the premium is only worth it if you love Uni and otoro. Service was great. The inside was busy. The deal is popular. The inside of the place is warm and inviting even while packed.
