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.

I think it's similar to the one I had in Taiwan but chicken here is a little dry. It's good enough if you are craving for some fried food though.

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.

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

I'm a big fan of these fried cutlets in Taiwan but there are none around Boston. I walked by this place & had to have one. The chicken was as I remember in Taiwan, but did not expect the 20 minute wait time. Would return though.

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.

This location has really gone down hill since it first opened. The tables are all broken & lean, the bathrooms haven't been cleaned in what looks like months. The chicken is also not as good quality as when it first opened.
