Review Summary

Hot Star Montreal draws mixed reviews, with praise for fresh, crispy, and juicy chicken and generous portions in a wide range of flavors, including a popular cheesy chicken and several spicy options. The menu also features satisfying sides and drinks, and vegetarian options are noted by some reviewers. Price is described as pricey by some, though others feel the quality justifies the cost. However, several comments point to inconsistencies, such as chicken not being as crispy as before, soggy skin, items not in stock causing waits and refunds, and variable service. Past incidents mentioned include a fire that led to a closure of a location and a separate accident at the west island site, raising questions about the longevity of Hot Star Montreal franchises. Overall the reviews suggest Hot Star Montreal is a must try for fried chicken lovers when the quality and value align, with standout bites like cheesy chicken and crispy popcorn chicken mentioned by many.

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!😀😀

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.

I love this place. I recommend the New Orleans spice. It's the best on the menu. If you're African, the spicy is not actually spicy. But the chicken is always juicy & crispy for a really reasonable price.

I've wanted to try the place for a while now. Pretty disappointed since the original big chicken is a very flat piece of dry chicken with a lot more crispy outside parts than meat & there are bones too. Also I would've liked it if the cashier understood when I asked for just a little spicy.. medium spicy was indeed too much for me. Service was also slow for a fried chicken place.

The Korean chicken wings are one of the best in the cities. The chicken pop corn & fries are crispy & spicy. The owner was kind & welcoming. The place is clean & well maintained. Highly recommend the this place.

I love ordering at this place. Value wise, it walks all over KFC. I always get their 12 piece combo & that could last me 3 days. For the same price at KFC, I can easily finish everything in a single day. Their combo fried chicken are no joke either, they are so crispy, so juicy, & they are flavourful enough to be eaten without sauce. Their large fried chicken is just insane, it looks ridiculous & it looks as good as it taste. Even their drink was top notch. I did dine-in there once. It is setup like any other fast food place, so it is as good as you expect.
