My daughter made reservations. We arrived and it took awhile for the staff to acknowledge us and seat us. We placed our order and specified which were appetizers and which were main course. Every item we ordered came at once except for my daughter's sushi. We had to call over Server to ask the sushi. Food was good! Service was okay. read more

My daughter made reservations. We arrived and it took quite sometime for the staff to acknowledge us. We were eventually seated. We placed our order and specified which were appetizers and which were for the main course. Basically all the items we ordered arrived at the same time except for my daughter's sushi. We had to ask the Server for the sushi. Food was good. Staff not as good this time. read more

One block and half away from my house and for whatever reason never have eaten at this lovely restaurant! We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and the very friendly staff! Nicely decorated inside ... BYOB which kept the cost down but all in all we loved what we ordered , maybe a bit on the smaller portion size as far as the pad Thai goes but still delicious! We will definitely be back when in the mood for sushi or just want a healthier option .. read more

Overall, I had a great time at Hoshino. I think quite a bit and the food is always so good when it's really busy the sushi bar does get backed up and it could take some time. I unfortunately had to completely cancel a role that I had ordered with my dinner entrée because I had finished my entrée before the roll was complete. other than that it's always so good. I especially love the udon and the spicy rock shrimp. Hoshino also offers outdoor seating as well as indoor and both are great. overall a very nice place with great food and great service. read more

Great food and fast service! We live stopping here for lunch on our bike ride into Lavallette! read more

Hoshino Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lavallette, New Jersey

Awesome Sushi !!!!! Regular rolls & Specialty Rolls or order a boat of Sushi!! Hot appetizers & Hibachi available as well. Open Year round!! Robot delivers appetizers when not overly busy. Great restaurant (busy even in the off season on barrier island )!! Great to dine inside or outside and excellent for delivery for regular and Catering orders (via doordash or uber eats). During Spring & Summer they open up Blue Sushi which is their Seasonal location on the North side of Lavallette. (In season you have to get to both restaurants super early - extremely popular and crowded). Alvin and staff are excellent and always helpful. Great Ambiance as well!! BYOB!! Wine, Saki, beer etc. (Both restaurants are BYOB)!! I may just have to go there tonight!! Highly Recommended! read more

Our first time trying a sushi spot in lavallette and it did not disappoint! Everything we had was fresh and flavorful! Each sushi roll we had contained its own flavor palette which is so important with sushi because sometimes it all blends into one. We got to sit outside and it was beautiful. The service and servers are all very nice and friendly! Would definitely recommend and will be back for sure next time we visit! And the cucumber lemon water was a nice touch! :) read more

The quality of the fish is excellent and the rice to fish ratio favors fish. The setup inside is great with a pergola with tasteful lights. Very accommodating when we brought our infant. read more

Always 5 stars! Hot meals and sushi alike are always perfect and delicious! We usually eat inside at Hoshino's. The ambiance and service is always top notch, but today we lost track of time and decided to DoorDash it. It was just as delicious having it at home. And just as delicious reheating our leftovers the next day too. We are so happy to have Hoshino here on the island!!! read more

This place is so good the food is so amazing and the drinks are so cold and crisp and the service is amazing it's also so cute inside and the prices are very reasonable everything is so fresh and delicious I came here twice in one day absolute 1000000/10. Would try again read more

Wow! What a great restaurant. Food fresh and delicious. Service was excellent and ambiance charming. Would highly recommend.

Robots!!! Cool place. Good food. Very accommodating for the 5 of us including the 4 yo.

Delicious sushi, pleasant atmosphere and good service The triple 3 roll is a must have absolutely delicious so is the shrimp shumai read more

Such a great spot! The ambience is wonderful, service is great, and the food is great. All of what we ordered was amazing! We made a reservation and it is BYOB. If you have a bigger party, I would recommend making a reservation. The bigger tables filled up pretty quick around dinner time. For appetizers we got the edamame, pork gyoza, beef negimaki, Chinese broccoli, and cheesesteak rolls. The beef negimaki was by far our favorite, the rest was your typical food from sushi places. All very good! The best part was the entrees - the sushi was delicious. We ended up ordering a bunch of sushi to share to try it all and it was amazing. Our favorites were the lava roll and the Manhattan roll. We also got some regular rolls (spicy salmon and Philadelphia roll) that were good too! Overall, highly recommend this place. They even have a robot server!!! read more

I was optimistic because the reviews were great- and maybe it's a different/better experience dining in rather than take out. The portions were small. Very small. My $18 tom yum soup was a small soup with 1/2 scallop, one small shrimp and some imitation crab meat. And the shrimp had that awful bleach taste. The rolls were small and pricey. I wouldn't trust the rest of the menu based my experience tonight. read more

The food is very fresh and perfectly prepared, service is friendly, pretty inside and outside seating had shade during lunch!

Food and service were good, however felt rushed when we were done with our meal and the waitress put the check on the table. No need to rush us out, because you had plenty of tables open. read more

Service was great food...meh. The special rolls were tiny compared to what other places. Octopus app was a little gamey. After ordering the same number of rolls at other places we were still hungry and needed to place a tempura entree because 2 more rolls probably would've been enough read more

After reading many of the reviews, we decided to give it a try. We were going in for takeout and the most negative reviews were based on take out how the weight could be as long is an hour and a half we figured this was for lunch so it shouldn't be an hour and a half wait the food came in 20 minutes as promised so that was not an issue as many people had, the food was disappointing the spicy tuna the spicy salmon had no spice in it it was very bland. Not much else to say they did not give us chopsticks. You have to ask for them and the salad was not drained so in the bottom of my salad container. The lettuce was floating in water. read more

Way over priced for what you get. When they first opened they sucked you in with large portions and decent prices. Now the portions are small and prices are large! Time to find something off the island. read more

Great new sushi restaurant. Very clean, excellent service and fresh food too. Great menu choices too. We highly recommend. Also BYOB.

food is great but for some reason they like to advertise they are open when they're not second time now pulling up here for the to be closed after they claim they're open and also leave there open sign on, wasted two trips from point rasant for them to be closed read more

Hoshino Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Lavallette, New Jersey

One of my favorite places to get sushi, not just DTS, but anywhere! Our favorites are the triple three and bamboo rolls, along w gyoza, but everything on the menu is delicious. The owners are lovely, and we have always had excellent service. Sometimes the kitchen can get a little backed up but it's well worth the wait. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is great to be able to choose and it is BYOB. Go to Hoshino (or Blue Sushi the sister restaurant in Normandy Beach) you won't be disappointed! read more

Great addition to the island! Sushi is excellent. Very nice dining area with good atmosphere. Definitely recommend!

The food is amazing, the servers are so nice and accommodating, and the atmosphere and location are great too.

I would give 0 stars if i could. Ordered at 6:45 and got told 30 minutes. Went to go pick up in 30 mins and it wasn't ready. Waited another hour and it still was not ready. Called again and got told another 30 minutes. We did not pick up our food until 9pm. Who wants to eat dinner at 9pm???? We also asked if our food was in the bag that had been taking so long for the order, and they said everything was in the bag! However, after many calls and visits to this restaurant and more than 2 hours of my time, we return home to find food missing from our bag. Very very upset and unhappy, and will be ordering White Castle. read more

Can't attest to the food because we didn't have a chance to try it. Ordered two rolls of sushi, some apps, and an entree at 7:30p - on the phone they said it would be a 30-40 min wait. We got there on time, after 35 min, to pick up the food - we waited for about 15-20 minutes once we were there, and they kept saying it would be right out. Then, they told us that it will be 20 more minutes and to walk around. Came back and it still wasn't ready... believe it or not they said they needed another 20 minutes. It was over an hour wait! We ended up just cancelling it and getting refunded. It seemed like a lot of people were cancelling - the kitchen and sushi bar were not producing food. Won't order take out again-- hopefully they can figure it out read more

This opened in the summer of 2022 and is a great addition to the area. The food is really good. Everything is fresh. The staff is well trained and very accommodating. We have been many times. read more
