Hoshi's tonkatsu truly blew me away - it's the best I've tasted outside Japan in years! The pork was thick-cut at 15mm, perfectly cooked to tender, juicy perfection with a satisfyingly crunchy crust. Honestly, it almost sounds like a love song to this dish! I would recommend asking for tonkatsu sauce (sweet) on the side.
The miso soup complemented the meal beautifully, bursting with authentic umami flavor. The service was impeccable, & despite being a cozy, family-run spot, the atmosphere felt genuine & welcoming.
If you're a fan of tonkatsu, I wholeheartedly recommend Hoshi - a true gem for any pork lover.

The pork tenderloin Katsu is really really delicious, very juicy & pink color & absolutely no stinky meaty odor. Also serving with loads of cabbage, I'm fan of the cabbage sauce, it tastes a bit sweet with Yuzu flavor. The only downside is small dining area, only has 5-6 tables, during the busy hour usually need to wait for 20 mins. In short, it's an authentic Japanese restaurant.

A cozy casual Japanese restaurant in Chinatown, serving authentic Japanese street food. Pork cutlet sandwich was the best I have had in Canada. As good as you can get in Japan. Good service too. Limited seating availability. You may need to wait for a while to be seated during busy hours. Credit card was accepted.

We came here twice on our trip to Montreal. Everything about this place is fantastic! We had the Curry Katsu, the Katsudon, the Ten Don & the Katsu Sando, & every dish was just as authentic as we had on our trip to Japan in November! All the compliments to the Chef & all staff

Just got back from Japan, & Hoshi's tempura udon tastes just like I am still there! Atmosphere feels authentic as well. So happy I walked by today & found them - a new gem!!

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.

The Japanese food here is very authentic & delicious, especially Kastu Don. The discount during lunch time makes it quite budget-friendly.

Literally the best Japanese food you will ever find in Montreal, you actually can't go wrong. Anything you order will be absolutely incredible. Made with authentic, quality, & delicious ingredients. If you will ever have Japanese food you must come here.
