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.

Handheld lunch for a busy day, no time for sit & dine to enjoy a proper meal. Taiwanese Fried Chicken least 30 cm in size each cutlet & are so tender & juicy even if it is on the go.

Fun food. Large flat chicken piece in which a bone is also part of the impressive size. It's decent fried chicken but I wouldn't recommend to the most enthusiastic of fried chicken. The drinks are also surprisingly good.

The beverages are definitely the highlight. I wouldn't recommend the original salt & pepper chicken as it's a little bland & dry & it doesn't come with any sauce, tho you can ask for ketchup. Fries are good. Overall the quality is fine if you want fried chicken, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. The wait time was also a bit long.

Not a radical reinvention of fried chicken but they do have great sauces/flavour selection. The big chicken cutlet is fried on the spot & really juicy

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.

Their breaded korean chicken wings are so good very good sauce & a good crunch, for their large pieces of chicken i feel like it’s hit or miss sometimes they’re fried good & other times not. more of a fast food type of environment, & no complaints about the customer service.
