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.
Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening around 6pm, the restaurant itself is quite small with around 5-6 tables inside. Atmosphere was very quiet but it was comfortable.
Ordered the Sake Salmon Son & the Rosu Katsu Curry. The sake Salmon Don came with pre-seasoned salmon sashimi on a bowl of rice, topped with an onsen egg, scoop of avocado & a sheet of toasted Nori. The flavors blended well, salmon wasn't overly salty & was very creamy with the onsen egg yolk. Rice was well seasoned & had great texture, overall very decent dish. The Katsu Curry was excellent, the Katsu had great flavor & was crispy on the outside but the bottom did get a little soggy due to being on the rice & curry ( I didn't mind). The curry itself was not too salty & paired well with the rest of the dish. The Katsu pieces are quite thick so some of the middle bites might seem on the drier side but ultimately pairs very well with the curry.
Was also served a small complimentary cup of creamy chicken & mushroom soup which were good, nothing too crazy but the server was nice.
Overall excellent place for Katsu, & at decent prices & portions.
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
Such amazing experience with my friend ! She just bring me to there~ & I can't imagine the katsu was so delicious! So juicy ! I love it ! & the service also really nice !
The crispy katsu is out of this world!! The salmon is also thick & delicous! Staff is friendly & I plan to come multiple times to try everything in their menu!

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.
Nourriture excellente, très savoureuse. Vraiment le highlight de mon année si vous êtes dans le coin & recherchez un restaurant c'est ici qu'il faut venir. Bons prix aussi

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.
I ordered the Katsu udon (pork tenderloin) it was amazing. So tender & flavorful. I recommend this restaurant if you are craving for Katsu. It comes with a velouté & a miso soup!
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.
