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.

Review Summary

Reviews for Hot Star Montreal present a polarizing view of the dining experience, with many patrons praising the chicken for being consistently fresh, crispy, and juicy, while others express disappointment regarding the use of chicken breast, high price points, and occasional issues with food quality or service availability. While some customers find the deep fried mushrooms addictive and the meals worth the cost, negative reports mention burnt food, inconsistent preparation, and frustrations with business operations.

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.

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
