A place worth stopping by. Everything was great, starting from a complimentary cream soup & ending with fantastic katsu plates. Also the service was perfect. Strongly recommend!
Hoshi is a hidden gem in Chinatown. The restaurant is small & they don't take reservations, so it's best to go during non-peak hours to avoid the long lineups. Their pork cutlet katsu is an absolute must-try-I was blown away from the very first bite of the sandwich. The meat was incredibly juicy & full of flavor.
The salmon tataki & salmon bowl are also really good, but the pork is definitely the show-stealer. A spot well worth checking out if you're in the area.
We absolutely loved our experience at Hoshi. The katsu was absolutely delicious, crispy on the outside & tender on the inside, with a flavorful & perfectly seasoned sauce. The portions are generous, & everything was beautifully presented.
The service was warm, friendly, efficient, & very fast. The restaurant is small & cozy, with a lovely atmosphere, but that's also part of its charm. A true little gem in Chinatown! ❤?

En tant que Japonais, je peux confirmer que la qualité est tout à fait authentique. J'ai commandé le katsu curry : j'ai été très satisfait de la portion généreuse de tonkatsu (servie sur deux niveaux), de la tendreté de la viande, ainsi que des saveurs riches & bien équilibrées entre le porc & le curry. & tout cela pour un prix très raisonnable.
J'aurais juste apprécié un peu plus de sauce curry. Par ailleurs, l'eau du robinet avait une odeur désagréable ; j'espère que le restaurant envisagera d'utiliser un filtre.
Well made, nice quality pork katsu with curry & rice. Service staff were really nice & attentive. They were out of the menu item I wanted, but to be fair I went in a very busy weekend. Interesting spot in Chinatown.
Our experience this time fell a little short of what we had read in the reviews, though we hope it was just an off day. The service was genuinely friendly & hospitable, & the portions were generous - the complimentary cream of mushroom soup was also a nice touch. We ordered the Teppan Hamburger Steak & the Katsu Curry Udon, but both dishes came out too heavily seasoned for our taste. The miso soup on the side was similarly over-seasoned, with the anchovy notes from the dashi stock overpowering the other components. My partner also got a stomachache after the katsu curry udon, which may have been a one-off, but it added to an overall mediocre experience unfortunately. We've had better katsu & Japanese steak elsewhere.
Was on the lookout for some katsu curry. Reviews looked promising, so I gave it a go. Was not disappointed, the food & service were top notch. I went for the rosu (pork) katsu curry & it was great! Highly recommend a visit.
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.
