Review Summary

Hoshi is a highly regarded Japanese restaurant in Montreal's Chinatown known for its authentic, flavorful katsu, tempura, and udon dishes. Many diners praise the generous portions, high-quality ingredients, and attentive service that evokes a genuine sense of dining in Japan. While the restaurant is frequently described as a hidden gem with a welcoming atmosphere, its limited seating and policy of not accepting reservations often result in wait times, particularly during peak hours. Despite occasional feedback regarding long waits or inconsistent textures, the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive, with many visitors considering it a top destination for comfort food and recommending it for its excellent value.

Best katsu I have tried in the city, the portions are more than generous, & the service is great!

Hit the spot. Only negative was the music on repeat. Upbeat upon first hearing but slightly too loud. When there are only seemingly two or three songs by the same artist on too loud repeat it quickly grinds on the nerves & takes away from the rest of the experience. I strongly suggest doing take out for this reason

A small Japanese restaurant tucked away in Montréal's Chinatown. They're known for dishes like tonkatsu, beef hamburg steak, & sashimi rice bowls. I had the tonkatsu set meal-the soup was creamy with a strong peppery note, & the cutlet was crispy while still juicy inside. Portions were satisfying & the sauces were a nice touch.

Seating is limited, so it's worth arriving early for dinner.

Service was fantastic! Had a chance to exchange with the staff too. Katsu was excellent! Took me back to Japan! Really enjoyed my meal there! Would recommend

Just ignore the debatable exterior of the restaurant & eat some juicy, tasty, crispy Katsu.

Have gone to Hoshi a few times now, & each time have tried something different, ranging from the Sake Don, Lunch Ten Don, & Katsu Don. Always excellent taste & presentation, particularly the Ten Don with all the nice tempura arrangement. Service is good, however, the only (major) downside of this place is that there are not many seats / tables, & no reservations taken. One time three of us came & waited outside in the cold for 15 minutes or so, having already being reassured by the waitress that it would be soon, but it being winter & all, we finally decided to leave for another restaurant. The food & service are great, & it's definitely worth a visit, but there's no guarantee you'll get a seat when you arrive!

Crispy rosu katsu, warm rice, endless shredded cabbage… & one of those lunches that disappears too fast. Between conversations about American politics, immortality, & the next trip waiting somewhere out there, the pork stayed crispy & the world somehow felt both heavier & lighter at the same time. #Hoshi #Montreal
