Review Summary

Hoshi is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Chinatown that offers an authentic and high-quality Japanese dining experience. Patrons consistently praise the pork katsu for being exceptionally tender, juicy, and perfectly crispy, often highlighting it as the standout dish on the menu. The restaurant is noted for its generous portion sizes, flavorful sauces, and beautiful presentation, all provided at reasonable prices. While the space is cozy and limited, which can lead to wait times during peak hours, the service is frequently described as warm, efficient, and exceptionally friendly. Many guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, such as the complimentary soup, and feel that the delicious, homestyle cooking makes the visit well worth the trip.

A very cozy, homestyle Japanese restaurant located right inside Chinatown!

I ordered the Udon Hoshi Katsu & really appreciated how generous they are with the crispy cod katsu & scallop katsu.

However, I'm not entirely sure how well the guacamole pairs with the udon. I also wish they would serve the fried fish & scallop on the side, as the steam from the hot udon tends to soften the crispy crust of the katsu.

If they are going for a fusion angle, a citrus & rice pairing might work a bit better here rather than mixing it with the heavy katsu sauce.

That being said, it's a lovely spot & I'd definitely say come out to support this small business! I really hope to see them refine the dish & improve over time.

The food was quite solid tbh. Definitely the most tender pork katsu I had in MTL, & the sauces were pretty good too. On the negative sides, the breading was seriously wet on my cutlet which is a big disappointment, & there didn't seem to be any bathroom.

Located at the end of Chinatown, cozy restaurant with authentic Japanese dishes, reminded me of when I was in Japan with their set meals!

Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. I've had some really good katsu sandos from other restaurants so I know what a good one should be. This one was so greasy & the breading was just soggy which meant the bread just soaked up all the oil. Likely the oil wasn't hot enough to set the crust.

On top of the food itself not being great the kitchen took at least 25-35 minutes to get my food out & I was the only person who had put in an order. There were two other tables in the restaurant but they were finishing up their food when I came in so it's not that the kitchen was overwhelmed with orders.

The two girls who worked the front were very nice & tried to accommodate me on this but the food was just inedible which is so unfortunate. I have never ever left a restaurant after eating only one bite of food but this was just too much.

Our plate came with a fly on it… & the waitress & turned a blind eye. She looked like she didn't want to work or be there, not a single smile while she served us. The katsu don was a bit too salty meanwhile the curry udon was a bit bland. They also forgot some ingredients to our bowl & we had to recheck the menu & asked them for it..
