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.

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.
