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.

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.

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

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 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.

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.
