Review Summary

Reviewers describe Hoshi as a small, cozy Japanese spot on the edge of Chinatown with authentic flavors, where generous portions and affordable prices pair with a simple menu centered on katsu, curry, udon, tempura and donburi. Dishes like rosu katsu, hire katsu curry udon, katsudon, ten don and salmon don are frequently praised for a crispy crust, juicy meat and well balanced sauces, often accompanied by miso or creamy mushroom soup as a starter. The atmosphere and service are praised as warm, attentive and friendly, with staff going the extra mile and soups served while you wait. While most reviews are glowing, a few note small seating area, wait times during peak hours, and occasional inconsistencies such as overly salty soups or katsu that is not perfectly prepared. Overall, Hoshi is seen as a hidden gem and a standout spot for authentic, flavorful and generous Japanese meals in a modest setting, especially for pork lovers seeking a standout katsu experience.

Chewiest Katsu I've ever had in Montreal! Would not recommend.

Suite à une recommandation de ce restaurant, on s'est présenté pour un souper. Je n'avais aucune attente en voyant l'extérieur du petit restaurant, 16 places seulement, caché dans un coin plus ou moins éclairé du quartier chinois.

Le serveur est très gentil & pris le temps de nous expliquer les plats sur le menu. Le service est très rapide. Je suis très surpris que la présentation des plats soient si bien faits. C'était pleins de saveur pour chacun des plats commandés

Durant tout le temps qu'on était présent, il y a toujours du monde qui faisait la file pour avoir une place assise, malgré le froid & l'heure un peu tardive.

Un restaurant a retourné définitivement!!

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. 🍛✨

It's a cozy place with great service, our food arrived very quickly & it was delicious. I recommend you try it. The rosu katsu was very tasty.

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 food is absolutely amazing! I had lunch there two days in a row during my short trip to Montreal. Highly recommend the udon noodles there!

An excellent place with delicious food, beautiful presentation, & great value for money. The fish was very fresh & generously portioned in relation to the side dish on my plate. The place is clean, & the staff is friendly - I sincerely recommend it :)

Very cute restaurant, food was exceptional, generous both in size & in price. Bit of a slow service, but well worth it for the food.

Heavily recommend the Hire Curry Udon

I went on a Tuesday evening. There is only one way to describe this place, perfection. The food was so tasty, I got the Sando. The staff was very friendly. I even had the chance to speak to the owner, who was very passionate & kind. They even give soup while you wait for the food, which is tasty as well. The menu also has a great variety. This is a really great place. I highly recommend it & will definitely come back!
