Review Summary

Hoshi comes up in reviews as a cozy, small Japanese spot at the edge of Chinatown that serves authentic, generously portioned katsu, don, udon and tempura, with the pork cutlet and curry katsu repeatedly praised for a juicy, crispy crust and rich curry; the salmon, tuna and seafood items are described as fresh and tasty, and the tempura udon is a favorite for many. Soups such as miso and a creamy mushroom starter are commonly noted, though a few bowls can be overly salty, and some diners found the katsu don or curry a touch heavy on onions or texture a little underdone. Service is consistently described as friendly and attentive in a tiny, often busy space, and portions and prices are generally considered very good value. The place is frequently labeled a hidden gem and worth the wait, with several reviewers planning to return to try more dishes, while a handful warn that seating is limited and lines can form during peak hours.

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.

I dont usually leave reviews, but this is the best katsu I had in Montreal hands down. This place is new but they definitely know how to make good Japanese cuisine. Great service as well. Would definitely come again!!!

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