Review Summary

Global impressions of Hot Star Montreal are mixed, with many praising crispy and juicy fried chicken and a variety of flavors that make it a solid choice for travelers, while others warn about burnt or soggy chicken, higher prices, and occasional service issues such as wait times and refunds; some reviews highlight freshness and addictive mushrooms, and the spicy and crispy popcorn options are often recommended, but others note changes in quality with less crispness and occasional inconsistencies, yet the restaurant remains seen as a must try for fans of Korean style fried chicken.

I am obsessed with their deep fried mushrooms! They're so crunchy & addictive. Pricey but so worth it!!

Small & pricy, not the kind I would go daily, but would try once in wild!

As an extremely regular & loyal customer on uber eats & in the restaurant, the quality has died down quite a lot. Chicken isn't as crispy anymore, super soggy. I ordered this one ON THE SPOT & I don't know who does the chicken in the back but needs work to be like before. Took a bite & the whole soggy skin came off.. was really disappointed for both ones I got. Literally came out of the fryer only 5-10 minutes before I took a bite.

Very delicious chicken at a cheap price. There's a lot of flavors & options. We recommend the crispy chicken popcorn & the spicy flavors. Highly recommend this place for anyone traveling in Montreal!😀😀

The portions are very generous. You have to try the cheesy chicken, it is TO DIE FOR! I prefer the regular one over the spicy one - it is just too spicy for me, I find it numbs the delicious taste of the chicken.

Your order is always served freshly fried (takes about 15-20 minutes max), piping hot (I've never been served hotter food anywhere else before). The green apple yogurt juice tastes just like green Jolly Ranchers.

The place looks like nothing from the outside, but it's an actually decent option when you crave big fat fried bird meat. Clean inside, doesn't smell overly like oil either. You can be served in french sometimes.

Bearing in mind that I am a vegetarian, my review of the menu is limited. I came with a companion who ordered cheese stuffed chicken & was happy with the spice level. For me, there are plenty of vegetarian sides & drinks. The fries are surprisingly good! The outside is very crispy but the inside wasn't dry. There is a wide variety of specialty teas & drinks.
