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.

We had the salmon tartare, tonkatsu don & tempura don for lunch. Everything was tasty with quality ingredients, reminded us of meals in Japan. Service was very attentive & friendly.

The rice is cooked perfectly-chewy with distinct grains. Both the tempura & the tonkatsu sauce are especially delicious, & the seafood is fresh with just the right portion size. The restaurant is quite small, so you may need to wait in line during peak hours. The restaurant offers excellent service.

Food is delicious & well priced. The downside is the restaurant is very small & there is often a wait, but the food makes it worth it.

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. 🍛✨

Pretty good food. The salmon don was really nice, & while the katsu was good, it soon gets soggy beneath all the rice. Good service & the staff speak at least french & english, which is a plus.

Excellent location, food comes fast & is very tasty. Had tempura udon, portions are large & all come with miso & cream of mushroom soup.
Won't make a mistake if you come here. Cheers

Hoshi is my favourite lunch spot! I always get the Ten Don (tempura on rice). The portion is just right, & the sauce is so good. Love how the tempura mix (veggies, egg, shrimp, & scallop) always comes out perfectly crispy. The waitress is super nice & welcoming. The only downside is that the place is quite small, so if you come during busy hours, expect a bit of a wait. Totally worth it though!

One of my favorite to go restaurants. They serve big portions that make you full & the food is fresh & very tasty. It's perfect when it gets cold outside because they serve you soup on the side as well

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.
