We went to Montreal for a quick weekend trip, & I had high hopes for Hoshi! We got the fried pork meatball appetizer, ten don & the curry katsu. The ten don was good, it could use a bit more rice at the bottom. It had 3 shrimps, 1 scallop, an egg, fried nori, sweet potato & I think radish? Curry katsu wasn't my favourite, it was a bit dry, & the curry was extremely heavy on onions. I prefer my curry smooth. Serving was generous, we ended up taking the leftovers home. I'm usually used to katsu having coleslaw, & sauce & grinded sesame on the side. The fried meat balls were dry & a bit flavourless. There's dots of sauce on the side to make the plating look nice, & it was, however, I feel like sauce on the side in a separate container would have been better. The avocado at the bottom was a bit out of place. The restaurant is cozy but it's too tight in between the tables. It did take ~30-40 mins for our food to come out though. Not my favourite place, but for a ten don fix, I would go here specifically for that!View more
Went there last Saturday for dinner. It was the most delicious udon I've ever had. The waitresses were all so nice too. By the way, I sat right in front of the door, so it was kind of cold. But it was amazing in general!!View more

Very good! Definitely the best Hire Katsu I've had outside Japan.View more
Sushi, kimchi, & rice were not fresh at all ! Waiter ASKS for tipping which must be something the customer desires. Beautiful & clean atmosphere, fast service (not very special but satisfying), clear instructions. The beer was enjoyably cold.View more

Un joyau quelque peu caché dans le quartier chinois. Les plats étaient excellents & les portions étaient plutôt généreuses. Le service était impeccable. Nous avons tous adoré notre expérience & y retourneront certainement.View more
Came here for dinner & It was busy but we luckily got seated right away I got the Shrimp Udon Soup & it was bursting with so much flavor, the udon was perfectly cooked, & all of the toppings were so delicious. Staff is also super friendly & although its small I loved the overall vibe of the restaurant :) I liked the soup so much that I went back the next day but this time right when they opened! Staff was again very friendly, attentive, & the soup was just as good as the day before! I truly enioyed both of my visits & cant wait to come back again!View more

Hoshi was an okay experience. My partner & I came after seeing an ad on Instagram. We started off with complimentary mushoom soup that was a great way to beat the cold. I ordered the Katsu-don, & my partner got the katsu. The katsu were as thick as the pictures showed. It was crunchy & maybe a bit overdone as it was slightly chewy. I personally would've liked the cuts to be thinner if anything because I value the crunchy outside. The egg didn't seem to be seasoned, maybe intentionally, but the sauce with the rice was really good. My partner's comments were that he also found the katsu to be a bit tough & would've liked more of the seasoning on the side. There was also a lot of salad. Overall, this is a cute hole in the wall Japanese restaurant that really tries to give authentic Japanese food. Personally, I don't see myself coming here too often, but it was good.View more
