Hoshi est décrit comme un petit restaurant japonais authentique et chaleureux, situé sur le bord de Chinatown, avec une ambiance qui rappelle le Japon. Les plats phares, notamment le katsu don, le rosu katsu et le curry katsu, ainsi que le tempura don et l'udon, affichent des sauces savoureuses, des textures croustillantes et des portions généreuses à des prix raisonnables. La carte est appréciée pour sa simplicité et la qualité des ingrédients, et même ce qui n'est pas leur spécialité est bien cuisiné. La salle est petite et les places limitées, ce qui entraîne parfois une attente, mais le service est généralement attentif et convivial, avec des serveurs et serveuses décrits comme sympathiques et efficaces. Les soupes en début de repas, notamment la soupe miso et la soupe à la crème de champignon, complètent le repas, parfois avec des remarques sur leur sel ou leur température. Des critiques positives soulignent le côté authentique, les saveurs japonaises et le caractère "gemme" de l'endroit, et beaucoup recommandent de revenir pour découvrir d'autres plats. Quelques avis mentionnent des expériences variables sur le service en période de pointe et des petites réserves sur certaines textures ou sur l'assaisonnement de certaines assiettes. Dans l'ensemble, Hoshi est vu comme une adresse de choix pour les amoureux du katsu et de la cuisine japonaise à Montréal, offrant des portions copieuses, une ambiance intime et un rapport qualité-prix attractif.
Small resto but cute, more on the edge of Chinatown. Good Japanese food though the mushroom soup they give (included) & miso soup were way too salty.
They were out of hire at 7pm so we got the rosu katsu quite filling. The menu is rather simple & variations with soup or udon miso soup or rice or udon curry. Meat was juicy crispy tender & flavorful. Prices & portions are good! Also had the salmon tartare entrée on a bed of avocado, tasted great.
One waitress/host managed the few tables. She was really nice & courteous
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. 🍛✨

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.
Cozy little Japanese restaurant located on the edge of Chinatown, with friendly staff.
You can get a really nice katsu experience here, it was nicely breaded & fried perfectly. Further, if you are there on a weekday lunch they also serve free soup of the day - it was quite delicious.
It's a Japanese restaurant.
I love this restaurant because I ordered'Katsudon', it's so delicious & a little sweet. I'm Japanese, & I found this really delicious 😊 I'm sure other Japanese people would enjoy it too!
I'm so happy this gem just opened in Montreal! The ambiance is warm & modern-minimalist with subtle Japanese design elements. You can tell a lot of care went into curating the space & the menu. Service was warm, attentive, & genuinely welcoming-such a refreshing experience!
Unassuming yet refreshing Japanese restaurant serving something new (that isn't sushi nor ramen). The menu primarily revolves around their katsu; I'd recommend the Katsu Sando to truly try the pork in all its glory. Probably the thickest whilst also being the juiciest piece of pork I've had. The wasabi mayo is a nice touch. Everything tastes fresh & high quality because of the limited menu. A small nitpick would be that the rice they serve isn't short grain. Oh & they actually serve real grated wasabi!

Nice little japanese restaurant located in a quiet alley in Chinatown. Seating is limited but the food is very nice. The menu is not that extensive as well. Food is not too pricey & is surely filling. I tried the Menchi Katsu & Hiru Katsu Udon. The Menchi Katsu was okayish, but the Hiru Katsu Udon was delicious. The udon had an amazing texture & the curry sauce was very flavourful. They even give out a creamy mushroom soup in the beginning, which is absolutely delicious. Would surely want to visit again & try the other dishes they offer.
