The Sushi Bento Box Deluxe Entree is such a good deal for a takeout sushi dinner (only $24). I sub the California maki for a second spicy tuna maki. I haven't been able to find another sushi takeout place with the same type of meal option. They have a bunch of other good deals as well, especially for lunch. The sushi is always fresh and they're fast! I've done both pickup and delivery and have always had a great experience! Parking can sometimes be a little tough but I usually find a spot down the street. read more

Hoshi Ya Sushi - Sushi Sashimi Combo Entree - Japanese Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

Got takeout from Hoshi Ya. They have a nice cash deal where you can order any two rolls from their select list for $12 with a side of miso soup. We ordered a spicy salmon maki and a crazy maki. The spicy salmon had thick salmon pieces, tempura crumbs, and spicy mayo rolled in rice. The crazy maki had shrimp tempura, avocado, rolled in rice, and a layer of seaweed. Overall, both rolls were tasty and pretty much a steal at under $6 each. The only thing that was slightly annoying was that the salmon pieces were so thick, it made it hard to take a bite from it, you had to eat them whole (I have no idea if I explained this well, haha). It's a no frills joint, they were quick with the order. Seemed to only have a online order service, because I had a hard time finding a phone number. They also deliver, and it's a small charge based on the radius. For a simple sushi night, I'd definitely go back here. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Hoshi Ya Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Brighton, Massachusetts

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... read more

Great cash only deals! The sushi was fresh and tasty-- will definitely be my go-to local spot for sushi

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. read more

Excellent local sushi choice, best in Brighton. Great fresh sushi, great portions and solid delivery. These are my go to location over ten years. Great cash and carry deal as well. read more

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! read more

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). read more

So happy I found my new favorite sushi place. I go to school nearby, but live North of Boston, so I've tried a few places. When I tell you....I never order spicy tuna because sometimes the texture is off and it can taste like you're eating a spoonful of mayo...well, not anymore!!! I got the Spicy Fish Maki Combo and the Maki Combo Entree. SO. GOOD. First of all, I was rushing and forgot my mask. The owner did not yell at me (I went back to get it), which was a plus. It smelled amazing in there--like fresh sushi rice and fresh fish. And the flavor and quantity was on point. Great value, great deals, awesome food, easy-going customer service. And awesome job at limiting contact during COVID! It's a win for me. Thank you Hoshi Ya for an incredible takeout experience! read more

My favorite sushi spot in Oak Square. It's nothing crazy special tbh but it always just simply fresh and good. Best reliable, affordable sushi place. I like how they keep the salmon in a big piece in their spicy salmon rolls. And their rice is flavorful and just right. The black capillary is also a good specialty roll. They do cash deals. I wouldn't say I love their sides, so I recommend stick with sushi, edamame, and miso. Definitely not a sit down spot, get it to go. read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

I got delivery from here. Sushi was pretty good for the price. It was quite a bit cheaper than my usual delivery place. I did accidentally order sushi burrito wraps, but they were good. My fault there. PROS: Delivery. Good price for Sushi. Everything was fresh. CONS: Delivery took more than an hour, but I can't take off points for being busy. OVERALL: I will order from here again. I liked it a lot. read more

Food is excellent. Ordered delivery through grub hub. Red Sox maki, spicy salmon maki, double spicy maki & some apps, all were delicious. The only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because the time grub hub said the order would be delivered it was not. I called the establishment & they said I could cancel or wait 30 more minutes and it would be ready they haven't got to it. I wish the establishment would of called me to let me know or communicated to grub hub the wait would be longer. By the time it was actually ordered it took over 2 hours for the food to be delivered. I told them I would keep the order as it was Already charged to my card & craved sushi for the night & if they could kindly throw in a few extra apps, in which they did, so I thought that was nice of them. I would order again. read more

Wicked tiny hole in the wall in Oak Square. And I really mean TINY! Literally only 4 seats at the sushi bar and that's about it for dine in service. On the plus side, the tea service was spectacular! This ain't a blow your mind out type of joint but rather a good neighborhood inexpensive treat if you are in the area and had a sushi craving. I tried the House Bento Box since it basically had a little bit of everything. I need something like this in my neighborhood! For 14.95, I had chicken teriyaki, shrimp skewers, gyoza, shumai, tempura, sashimi and rice! It's not to die for but it was darn good for that price! O, and Miso Soup! Fresh oil, Fresh ingredients.. what more can I ask for from a wicked TINY space!? Next time I'm in the area, I'd bring cash and do their deal - The CASH DEAL order is available now: any 2 roll $8.95, 3 roll $12.95 read more

Come here if you're in the area. Just moved to oak square and being walking distance to this place is the best part about living here

Hoshi-ya is my go-to place for sushi in Oak Square! It's always fresh and the people there are super nice. Never had a bad experience!

I ordered here last night and the delivery was fast, but the delivery guy didn't come up to my door (called for me to come to the front door) and this is a huge pet peeve of mine. Onto the food...cheaply priced, adequate quality is the best way to describe it. A step above Yomato, a step below Fins. I'd return if I was in a bind for sure! read more

Didn't even realize this place was here (right next to Hoy-Hing in Oak Square) until my cousin told me about it. I stopped by one afternoon after work to grab some dinner, and was pleasantly surprised. Its rather small inside, with two, two person tables, and a small bar section that might seat 5 or so, but would probably be more comfortable with 3. There was a very good selection of sushi, with reasonably prices and the service was wonderful. I will be back. read more

I've ordered once again from here just cuz their sushi is pretty good for ordering in. I ordered the sweet potato maki, avocado maki and a crazy maki. The sweet potato maki IS SO GOOD.. i didn't expected that of a potato in sushi but it's sweet yet savoury since it's in tempura batter. The avocado just tasted like any other avocado maki and the crazy maki I always get. read more

Won't lie, if I didn't live literally right across the street from this place I would not go in solely based on looks but I am totally glad that I did. The place is tiny and there are about 10 seats inside to dine in but who cares the sushi is so good and cheap I scarf it down by the time I walk back to my apartment. This place is just about the only sushi place I have ever gone to that gets the tempura/maki proportions PERFECT. That's a huge deal. The Shrimp Tempura roll is great and I like the Crazy Maki roll which is the pretty much the same thing as the shrimp tempura roll but throw in some avocado and spicy mayo in the mix. A great variety to choose from, the guys that were there are nice and the prices are pretty damn good for Boston. If I could eat here 7 days a week I would, but I can't. Because they are closed on Mondays. WHY!! read more

I had their maki combo. It was nicely priced for the amount of food I got. Fresh and seasoned very well. The rice was a bit too mushy for your typical sushi rice. read more

Delivery driver harassed me for a tip, beeped at me from his car, called me several times after delivery was made, and texted me accusing me of not tipping. They did not mark the delivery as complete so that they could continue to text and call me for over a half hour following delivery. I called the restaurant to complain and they accused me of lying about leaving a tip and defended the driver's behavior. I ultimately called Grubhub and reported the whole thing, received a refund, and submitted proof of the driver's terrible behavior. I will never order from this place again because they think it is defendable to harass customers when they incorrectly decide they have not been tipped. The irony is the information is clearly visible on the receipt AND I have the texts from the driver, so I can be easily and fully vindicated if they had bothered to just double check before deciding to park outside my house beeping at me and repeatedly calling and texting. Truly psycho behavior from driver and hostess who answered my call. read more

What lovely people who work here! Ordered take-out tonight, paid in cash, and left a good tip (as I try to do when I can). The man taking my order was very smiley and kind and my food was ready in less than 10 minutes. When I got home I saw he had put a free edamame in there for me, as well. Of course he had no idea, but after a really long, awful day this gesture of generosity moved me to tears. Sushi was fresh and delicious, absolutely recommend this place! Will be back often. read more

Hoshi-Ya is solid for rolls. I've taken advantage of a few online take-out deals and it's always worked well.

I've always liked this restaurant until recently. Usually their delivery comes to the right address and on time. Sushi is good. I like their agedashi tofu and avocado/crab salad. On Friday I ordered delivery again. In the special instructions field, I specifically wrote in Foodler that my address sounds very similar to another address but they are two very different streets... The delivery guy went to the wrong address and then he called me and yelled at me saying that I gave him the wrong address. :-/ when he finally got it right, I nicely showed him on my phone that I had written out not to confuse my address with the other one and he waved me off as if I were annoying him. Way to ruin my night. read more

Hoshi Ya gets 5 stars for being a consistent Japanese take out place. Simple offerings are always satisfying and delicious. Try: -Alaskan maki -Ika sashimi (request no cucumbers) -Tako tataki -anything else on the sushi menu Personally not a fan of the seafood salad items, however. read more

Absolutely delicious. Very clean and caring for customers. I drove from lowell to Brighton just for this great food fresh and organized. I hope this family business stays open all the time.

I got Sushi Sashimi Combo For One ($21.95) for take out. It is quick to pack after order. Sashimi and nigiri combination is tasty, however, it is a bit expensive considering the price at Ebisuya in Medford. Also this place has a counter but seems just for takeout. read more

What a great find... Hoshi Ya Sushi is fantastic. I have gone to most of the sushi restaurants in Greater Boston, and this is truly top notch. A tiny takeout place in the great Oak Square neighborhood of Brighton, the rolls are beautifully made and really delicious... An inexpensive place that is unquestionably better than most of Boston's much more pricey sushi restaurants! read more

Bare bones, boneless. The prep counter, four seats along the glass and baby table at the front window constitute a dine-in experience that less-than-subtly insists you don't dine-in. Wall mounted flat screen purrs to a antennae reception, and out again. Went for a pre-meeting Cash Deal - 3 maki for $13, including soup. A bit peckish? Same offering is $9 for 2 rolls, saving you a buck a piece off menu pricing plus a free bowl of A-OK miso. Quick, clean, boom. Spicy tuna is minced and mayo heavy - same for the spicy seafood - and only the occasional strand of Krab in the latter or the crunch of tempura flake in the former differentiated the two. Salmon and avocado flexed strong cuts and only slightly underripe avocado. Weak wasabi. The rolls are a bit small, and loose, but for $13, it's still a bargain. I can see how Hoshi-YA is a strong go-to for those in the neighborhood. When compared to a similarly structured "cash & carry" meal at Genki Ya, the G wins out on overall quality and value. read more

Honestly, I've never stepped foot in Hoshi Ya. That's because I've been exclusively an online customer for the past 3 years. Even though sushi is expensive, this place is still relatively affordable without sacrificing too much on quality. I usually get around 3-4 rolls to myself (always some variation of avocado and spicy fish) but I've noticed the freshness isn't as good lately. Maybe it's just me, though. I'm still ordering from this place because it's saved me from a lot of hungry college all-nighters. read more
