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.

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.
