A place worth stopping by. Everything was great, starting from a complimentary cream soup & ending with fantastic katsu plates. Also the service was perfect. Strongly recommend!

Hoshi is a hidden gem in Chinatown. The restaurant is small & they don't take reservations, so it's best to go during non-peak hours to avoid the long lineups. Their pork cutlet katsu is an absolute must-try-I was blown away from the very first bite of the sandwich. The meat was incredibly juicy & full of flavor.

The salmon tataki & salmon bowl are also really good, but the pork is definitely the show-stealer. A spot well worth checking out if you're in the area.

We don't come from Montreal so we were looking around for some good places to eat. We had a hard time finding a restaurant to our taste, but we ended up eating at this restaurant. BEST DECISION EVER!! We were welcomed by the kindest waitress, June, & the food was amazing! The music is fun & gives you energy & the whole experience was great. Thank you!

A year ago the food was perfect. I had nothing to say & enjoyed their generous portions. I went a week ago & the portions got smaller & the price went up. The taste changed a bit : not as'umami' . Maybe it was a unlucky day . But disappointed enough I dont want to come back .

We absolutely loved our experience at Hoshi. The katsu was absolutely delicious, crispy on the outside & tender on the inside, with a flavorful & perfectly seasoned sauce. The portions are generous, & everything was beautifully presented.

The service was warm, friendly, efficient, & very fast. The restaurant is small & cozy, with a lovely atmosphere, but that's also part of its charm. A true little gem in Chinatown! ❤?

BYOR bring your own rice.

All good except rice quality. Made a suggestion before but even worse this time. I think they should understand what rice quality means to a Japanese restaurant.

We went on a Saturday dinner. & apparently they are very busy because there is no reservation system & there are only 8 tables for 2 people (they combined some for those who have more than 2). The waitresses are very kind & enthusiastic but we were told we have to wait for about 25 mins for someone to finish. Wasn't very long time. The food in general is great but some notes can be modified: the miso soup is a bit too salty (maybe due to they comes in a cup) & the Roku is a bit too hard but it is within tolerance. The problem is the wait time. From the time we sat down & the food arrive (not including the great tasting cream soup they gave us) is about 1 hr. Imean it ain't that bad but it could be improved in the future.

En tant que Japonais, je peux confirmer que la qualité est tout à fait authentique. J'ai commandé le katsu curry : j'ai été très satisfait de la portion généreuse de tonkatsu (servie sur deux niveaux), de la tendreté de la viande, ainsi que des saveurs riches & bien équilibrées entre le porc & le curry. & tout cela pour un prix très raisonnable.

J'aurais juste apprécié un peu plus de sauce curry. Par ailleurs, l'eau du robinet avait une odeur désagréable ; j'espère que le restaurant envisagera d'utiliser un filtre.

Well made, nice quality pork katsu with curry & rice. Service staff were really nice & attentive. They were out of the menu item I wanted, but to be fair I went in a very busy weekend. Interesting spot in Chinatown.
