Le menu met en avant des ingrédients frais et de première qualité, préparés avec soin pour assembler des bols à la fois savoureux et esthétiques, explorant une palette de saveurs allant du doux à l'acidulé. Les sandwichs signature offrent une fusion unique de goûts japonais dans des formats familiers, représentant une agréable surprise pour ceux qui recherchent une nouveauté.

Hoshi est un restaurant japonais chaleureux et très apprécié, situé dans le quartier chinois de Montréal, reconnu pour ses plats authentiques, notamment son katsu de porc croustillant et juteux, ses currys savoureux et ses portions généreuses. De nombreux convives apprécient le service amical et attentionné ainsi que l'atmosphère accueillante qui rappelle le Japon, soulignant souvent la soupe crémeuse aux champignons offerte en accompagnement. Bien que la qualité de la nourriture et le rapport qualité-prix fassent l'objet d'éloges unanimes, le restaurant est assez petit et dispose de places limitées, ce qui entraîne fréquemment des files d'attente. Malgré quelques critiques occasionnelles concernant le volume de la musique ou la préparation inégale de certains plats, le consensus général est que ce joyau caché vaut largement le détour pour quiconque recherche une cuisine japonaise réconfortante et délicieuse.
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.
Good enough.
Hoshi is a good enough Katsu for a reasonable price. Served with good rice & generous cabbage. Came with a soup too. I enjoyed it. I'll go again.
The facade is a little busted up. Don't let that scare you from coming in!
A small Japanese restaurant tucked away in Montréal's Chinatown. They're known for dishes like tonkatsu, beef hamburg steak, & sashimi rice bowls. I had the tonkatsu set meal-the soup was creamy with a strong peppery note, & the cutlet was crispy while still juicy inside. Portions were satisfying & the sauces were a nice touch.
Seating is limited, so it's worth arriving early for dinner.

Crispy rosu katsu, warm rice, endless shredded cabbage… & one of those lunches that disappears too fast. Between conversations about American politics, immortality, & the next trip waiting somewhere out there, the pork stayed crispy & the world somehow felt both heavier & lighter at the same time. #Hoshi #Montreal
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
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.
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.
