Hoshi

Friendly service & staff. The cream soup & miso soup are too salty. The pork pieces were dry & the rice was undercooked.

Discovered Hoshi in Montreal's Chinatown & wow - what a hidden gem! I had the rosu katsu curry (rice, pork cutlet, & Japanese curry), & honestly, it exceeded my expectations. The portions were generous, & it was so fulfilling - it filled both my stomach (& my heart)!🥹 The pork was perfectly crispy : light, not too greasy + the balance between the rice, pork, & curry was just perfect. The curry itself was rich, comforting, & full of flavor. The service was wonderful too - everyone was kind, friendly, & smiley, which made the whole experience even better. It was my first time here, but definitely not my last. ☺? Worth every cent, & I can't recommend it enough! This is officially one of my new favorite spots to visit whenever I'm in Montreal. 🍛✨

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.

I ordered the Katsu udon (pork tenderloin) it was amazing. So tender & flavorful. I recommend this restaurant if you are craving for Katsu. It comes with a velouté & a miso soup!

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.

Cute little eatery, with its 20 seats, a paradise for pork cutlet lovers! Each generous dish comprises a big, thick chunk of cutlets served with rice (katsudon), udon (curry) or bread (sando). The lunch specials were a bang for your buck, offering a combo with a second extra soup.

I went for lunch since I was craving tonkatsu. I ordered the salmon salad which had large pieces of marinated salmon which were very tasty & it was a very generous portion that can easily be shared by 2 people. The rosu katsu meal was exactly what I was expecting, a large, juicy piece of pork loin that had a nice crispy exterior. I enjoyed it with the wasabi & the salt. It was delicious. Served with thinly sliced cabbage, miso soup & rice. Service was very friendly. It's a great place & I will be back

I finally decided to try this restaurant & my only regret was not going in sooner. The pork was tender & so tasty & the curry was really good too, not too thick not too liquid. Will definitely come back to try other things & eat more katsu.
