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.
Hoshi is my favourite lunch spot! I always get the Ten Don (tempura on rice). The portion is just right, & the sauce is so good. Love how the tempura mix (veggies, egg, shrimp, & scallop) always comes out perfectly crispy. The waitress is super nice & welcoming. The only downside is that the place is quite small, so if you come during busy hours, expect a bit of a wait. Totally worth it though!
Got the sakedon & shrimp udon. Sakedon had a lot of guac but very little fish roe unlike the pictures. Fish tasted fresh but the rice was cold & a little hard. The udon had good texture but the broth was so salty we could not eat half of the bowl. Waiter was very nice & receptive to feedback so I hope it helps future business.
Cute little eatery, with its 20 seats, a paradise for pork cutlet lovers! Each generous dish comprises a big, thick chunk of cutlets served with rice (katsudon), udon (curry) or bread (sando). The lunch specials were a bang for your buck, offering a combo with a second extra soup.
I went for lunch since I was craving tonkatsu. I ordered the salmon salad which had large pieces of marinated salmon which were very tasty & it was a very generous portion that can easily be shared by 2 people. The rosu katsu meal was exactly what I was expecting, a large, juicy piece of pork loin that had a nice crispy exterior. I enjoyed it with the wasabi & the salt. It was delicious. Served with thinly sliced cabbage, miso soup & rice. Service was very friendly. It's a great place & I will be back
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!
We went to Montreal for a quick weekend trip, & I had high hopes for Hoshi! We got the fried pork meatball appetizer, ten don & the curry katsu. The ten don was good, it could use a bit more rice at the bottom. It had 3 shrimps, 1 scallop, an egg, fried nori, sweet potato & I think radish? Curry katsu wasn't my favourite, it was a bit dry, & the curry was extremely heavy on onions. I prefer my curry smooth. Serving was generous, we ended up taking the leftovers home. I'm usually used to katsu having coleslaw, & sauce & grinded sesame on the side. The fried meat balls were dry & a bit flavourless. There's dots of sauce on the side to make the plating look nice, & it was, however, I feel like sauce on the side in a separate container would have been better. The avocado at the bottom was a bit out of place. The restaurant is cozy but it's too tight in between the tables. It did take ~30-40 mins for our food to come out though. Not my favourite place, but for a ten don fix, I would go here specifically for that!
Sushi, kimchi, & rice were not fresh at all ! Waiter ASKS for tipping which must be something the customer desires. Beautiful & clean atmosphere, fast service (not very special but satisfying), clear instructions. The beer was enjoyably cold.
