About

Hot Star Montreal specializes in authentic Taiwanese street food, primarily showcasing their signature giant fried chicken cutlets that span the size of a human face. This global franchise employs a specific marination and double-frying technique to ensure the chicken remains exceptionally juicy on the inside while achieving a perfectly crispy, golden-brown exterior. Patrons select from a variety of seasoning powders, such as original salt and pepper, spicy chili, or seaweed, to customize the flavor profile of their oversized portion. The menu provides a portable, handheld dining solution designed for efficiency and intense savory satisfaction. Beyond the iconic poultry, the selection includes various fried snacks and refreshing bubble teas that complement the rich, salty textures. Every order is prepared fresh upon request to guarantee the highest level of temperature and crunch.

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.

Absolutely LOVED the huge fried chicken we got with the cheesy filling & spicy seasoning. There is a bit of a wait time after you order but the chicken comes out so so fresh & so hot. Every bite is so crunchy & if you get the one with the cheese filling you'll get many cheese pulls throughout. There are different levels of spiciness for the seasoning which is optional. We decided to go with the medium spicy & it was just perfect. You definitely feel the kick but it's not overwhelming at all. Highly recommend if you're craving fried chicken! You really get a lot of chicken for the value
